Bouncing of the wall right now. Ask me anything.

[FenixStryk]

So, yeah. Can't sleep, and I'm on vacation at a nice beach... at midnight. Ask me whatever you want, and I'll answer it to the best of my ability. Just make sure it's related to PSU.

[hans4]

do u own the 360 beta?

[Garnet_Moon]

Can I borrow 10,000 Meseta when retail comes out? o.O

[FenixStryk]

I played the 360 beta to Lv17 as a CAST Ranger, then my account was corrupted by an improper logout. Been forum whorin' ever since, and let me tell you business is good.

Borrow 10,000 meseta? Maybe, if you're nice.

[ThisIsMyPanic]

Well, I'm not sure if its been answered, but I've always wondered about Cards.

If you wouldn't mind answering it,

How does the weapon work and what class is it meant for?

Many thanks

[Flunky]

Out of curiousity, what was your 360 beta character's name? (you played the beta, right?)

[FenixStryk]

Cards are meant for a backup force weapon, say, if you use wands (You can have a Card/Wand combo in one palette.) You throw two cards at a time, they go up in the air for about a second, then home in on the enemy. They have about the same range as a handgun.

My character's name was FenixStryk. Surprise, surprise!

[McLaughlin]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie roll with a PSU wrapper.

[ThisIsMyPanic]

I see, thanks for clearing that up!

[BlueInfinity]

If you coud be a character from pso who would it be and why.

[FenixStryk]

It takes roughly 1000 hours of grinding to get to the center of a PSU-wrapped Tootsie roll. That's because when you play PSU, you can't lick, so you have to use sweat instead. ;p

[FenixStryk]

If you mean like live the life of a PSO character? I'd be a RAcast. The RAcaseals are that hot. ^_^

[Garnet_Moon]

I'll be on my best behavior then. :3

What types of weapons did you see for Forces either in shops, or on their character? I'm kinda interested in the longbows for the occasional excersize from techniques, so if you've seen those in game what levels had them?

I know about the Cards, handguns, rods, staffs, and sabers. Already saw videos for those. Have yet to see any longbow ones.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Garnet_Moon on 2006-10-20 21:23 ]</font>

[TheStoicOne]

Why should I ask you this question?
And why will you answer it?
Why am I online?

[FenixStryk]

I saw a lot of Forces using rods, likely due to higher TAP and PP. Rarely did I see wands, and I only saw longbows once. In the beta, I believe they sold wands, rods, and longbows. There might have been cards, but I didn't see them. From what I hear, longbows are like Rifles, but do more damage, are more accurate, but have a halfsecond fire-time (pulling the bow back) and have a slightly slower bullet. Not too bad, especially if you can't use Rifles.

[FenixStryk]

You should ask me a question because I'm a fairly reliable source, and an eager one.
I will answer it because I have nothing better to do whatsoever.
I do not know wh you are online, but I will guess that PSU interests you or puzzles you.

[TheStoicOne]

you win. Now I am going to ask you nothing more! You may pass.

[FenixStryk]

Woot! I passed! =D

[TheStoicOne]

Wait! I changed my mind! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_bondage.gif
Did you play PSO?

[Garnet_Moon]

Thanks for the info.

Now for some more opinion orientated questions...

What are you in the beta? Why did you choose that race/class combo? What is your biggest concern about this combo, if any, when retail is released? Would you recommened this combo to anyone else?

(you already answered Q1 on page one... just go with it >_>)

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Garnet_Moon on 2006-10-20 21:34 ]</font>

[Flunky]

Longbows are spiffy.

They're noticeably more powerful than rifles (in weapon stats, at least). They look kinda interesting, and they fit the motif of a force pretty well: if you can deal with not regenerating PP in a rod or cane they make good support fire. The time to draw the bow isn't -that- long, but you'll need to take it into account when firing at faster enemies.

Not regenerating a wand/rod while using a longbow can be a noticeable downside, though. You need to have something actively equipped for the PP to regenerate, most forces I saw using bows tended to use magic a good deal less for attacking.

Did you invite people you hated into your room after redecorating it?

Or were you invited by someone else?

Am I having fun playing PSU on my 360 right now?

What level were you?

Are you going online or offline when u get it.

How long are you planning to play this game.

[TheStoicOne]

I second that...er those!!!

[FenixStryk]

As I said before, I was a RAcast. plan to be a CAST Guntecher, since I really, relly love strafing and shooting at the same time. My biggest concern is its lack of strong ranged S-rank weapons and TP. I would not recommend it to others since it lacks magical OOMPH, but if you only want support magic to go with your guns, go for it.

I played PSO on DC and Xbox. Reached Lv76 HUcast and Lv 45 RAcast on DC, didn't get too far into Xbox.

Thanks for the extra info on longbows, Flunky.

I am FenixStryk, not Fenix-Stryk. I have been FenixStryk for almost a decade. I am the original.

[TheStoicOne]

WHERE ARE YOU http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

[Garnet_Moon]

Thanks for the info.

If I throw a party in my room, will you attend? >.>;

[TheStoicOne]

Fenixstryk, okay no hiphon.

[FenixStryk]

I never redecorated my room to begin with, but if I did, I might've invited someone into it, since it was only a beta.
I was not invited by someone else.
You are likely not having fun playing PSU right now since you are posting on the PSOW forums. The likelyhood of you doing both at the same time is slim, and can only be doe if a) you have a laptop or b) your desktop PC is right next to your TV/360.
Beta, lv17, DC, Lv 76 HUcast, Lv 45 RAcast.
Offline first. I want to know the story.
I plan on playing this game for at least a year, if not more.

[Fin]

What's the best way to convince people you know to start playing PSU? >.>

[TheStoicOne]

How tall was your character
taller that 5'
Shorter than 5'
Are you getting Psu-X?

[FenixStryk]

I am currently at a Ritz Carlton hotel. Thank god they have free high-speed internet in the room. Sorry for any delay in answering questions, my browser hiccuped for about 2 minutes.
I will likely not attend a party in your room unless I know for a fact someone else went in there and said it was safe, or if it was the beta.
The best way to convince a friend to play PSU is to show it to them first person.

[FenixStryk]

My character was relatively short. About 1.5 feet shorter than normal. i will make him slightly taller in retail, but still below normal.
I do not understand the meaning of PSU-X. If you mean PSU for PS2/PC, no.

[TheStoicOne]

I think I'm going a lil' too fast, yes or no?

[FenixStryk]

Threads like these tend to go really fast, expecially on GameFAQs. At least I am keeping up somewhat. I haven't missed a question yet, so hey!

I do have a few typos though. =[



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: FenixStryk on 2006-10-20 21:50 ]</font>

About those death rooms (in the beta, at least).

While checking out player shops I ran into a few of them. You do get stuck, but for me just logging out and back in put me back in my room (which was thankfully -not- bugged... learned about the bug right before I went out to buy a redecorate ticket, too). If that bug's in the main version, well... it shouldn't be.

[TheStoicOne]

PsU-X is like PSO-X, Phantasy star Univers-X-Box
So maube it should be PSU-X3, What do you think.
Your grammar is impecable for sch fast typing, how do you accomplish this at such high speeds? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Blenjar]

Yes I'm using my PC which is next to my tv.xbox360...

I hear no one is allow to go create characters..is that true?

What should I do on my remaining hours? Go in lobbie and say the same thing over? Offer a service by selling myself for 200 meseta per block?

I got a friend in my room bugging me..what should I do?

-- Blen

[Numnuttz]

hmm i got a question . it just came to me as i was lookin at my beta room for the last time. is there a way to remove boards from your pm besides using it all up. ?

[FenixStryk]

Good idea on gettng out of death rooms. If your room isn't deadly, surely you can choose to return to it instead of going to the one you were invited to.
I personally think it would be better to call it PSU360. More direct.
My grammar is not the problem. It's the spelling. =] besides, proper grammar comes to me naturally. I do use a lot of commas, though. =o

[TheStoicOne]

Sell yourself defintely! 200 meseta isn't enough you should raise the price a bit.
Oh and I'm filling in for Fenix atm!

[TheStoicOne]

Blenjar whered you get that name? I say it aloud eveytime I see it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[FenixStryk]

I do not know if it is possible to remove boards from your PM since I never actually had the need to. However, I'd imagine you can put more than one board in, or overwrite boards if necessary.
Some people are not allowed to make characters, either due to a bug or just because the beta is nearly over.
Since the beta is almost over, just give everything away and shout random messages of armageddon arriving soon, preferrably almost naked.
If your friend is bugging you, tell him to leave your house or give him something to calm him down. Preferrably a GameBoy of some sort.

[Sizzors]

Why do you feel like flaming me when all I said was to watch out for exp. whores and that they will most likely multiply in the real game?

[Blenjar]

I made Blenjar for my RAmar in PSO (DC)...originally Blenjar.88. to get the red ID..Quikar was my first HUmar name but later on got bored of hunters...Smadar is my Force, Cutar is my Beast (used to be my FOrmarl in PSOX) Robar was my HUcast (PSOX) and Mini-Con (PSOX) was my RAcast.but now I know its actually Mini-Tron (Cast) in PSU.
Read my signature...

This is fun!! I never get to do stuff like this!!!!!!!!!!!

I've yet to actually try a CAST Force's magical aspects, but I doubt it's as bad as people say. however, I do know that even IF the magic sucks, it will not hinder me since I prefer guns anyway.

Blacklist?

[TheStoicOne]

@fenix:So from all the gamers you've seen so far, what is the majority race of players?

[FenixStryk]

I do not understand the meaning of latan. If latan is a user, I am not familiar enough to critique him/her. if by latan you mean latin, as in latin music, it's ok, but it wears on me. if latan has another meaning, I mised it entirely.

I've seen a decent mix of players, but I see a alightly larger percentage of CASTS, likely because they stick out so well.
Players can be Blacklisted if you do not like them. if someone is on your Blacklist, they are not allowed to play with you, ever.

That would have been lovely to know about 8 hours ago...

[TheStoicOne]

NO Blen!!! Can I have 1?

[Nani-chan]

I have tried it, I changed my lvl 14 ranger to force in Beta. I sent a lvl 1 wand from a mule, nuked a bit and it was low. However later when I bought a 2k meseta wand with +200 more Tp my nuke dmg rose.

I'll admit that we are worse than equally equipped forces but wands will give us +100-400 Tap as we rise from C to A wands.

[FenixStryk]

That's what I'm here for. As well as the PSOW community. That, and it was only a beta, i.e. a learning experience, thus it is not surprising that you missed a few details.

[FenixStryk]

Nani-chan, nice details, and the details are as I expected. Thanks.

[TheStoicOne]

Yep browser problems.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: TheStoicOne on 2006-10-20 22:19 ]</font>

Thankfully, when the full release comes we'll get a fancy new manual that we'll hopefully all read, and thus be aware of things like blacklists. For the first few minutes of beta I didn't know how to do much besides move and attack... kinda yucky, really wanted a manual then.

Still, being able to do cut-in chats or female emotes and baffle others was fun the first few hours. Preposterous! (cut to dramatic-yet-expressionless roboface with streaking lines in background)

[Blenjar]

If it worked.
Would it had been fun to create a level 1 character half hour before the demo ends and just run around asking for help on how to play?
What is STA?

-- Blen

[Nani-chan]

Dual handguns

[TheStoicOne]

Whoa, you guys are gettin all serious now?
Fine I guess its appropriate to post another legitimate question.
What is your favorite weapon so far? And you don't have to say why.

Chuck Norris would be a Lv1 Human Ranger. And he would still be able to kill Olga Flow. In one hit. With his leg.

DAGGER! Fast, good power, offhand pistol, PAs that let my stout robo breakdance while sending everything nearby flying... so much fun.

[NeuroNomad]

Okay I am a complete PS newb. I haven't played any PS title much less PSO. Since I just have a PC I didn't get to try out the XBox beta so there are a few things I am curious about.

Being a vetern MMO gamer I have a few questions. While I know that PSU isn't a true MMO I think these are still vaild questions.

Is there a Death Penaty? What happens when you die while on a misison?

I am not sure I understand the rank system that people mention. I have read a bunch of comments but still don't really get it when someone says C mission or S missions.

Thanks.

[TheStoicOne]

Wow! And yes browser probs.

[FenixStryk]

In the beta, the only major death penalty was a decrease in the mission rank you got and you having to walk back or wait for a revive. Much less severe than in DC PSO, where you lost your weapon, all your money, and some XP.

You get ranks for missions, depending on how much of the total time you were in the mission, how many enemies you killed, and whether or not people died. Ranks go from C to S, S being the best.

Half a thought http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Flunky]

No -direct- death penalty, as far as I'm aware. It will, however, lower your mission ranking, which reduces the number of class points and amount of bonus cash after you complete a mission.

Rank of mission affects enemy levels and other factors. C is easiest, S is toughest. Example: C rank anything will make a foe flinch. B rank, initial hits of a melee combo won't make enemies flinch, making close combat much more dangerous.

Edit: the lowering of the mission ranking in the first paragraph refers to the 'grade' you get upon completing a mission. The 'rank' mentioned in the second paragraph is something you choose when starting a mission.

While I cannot generally say how many of the people in this thread alone are playing the PC version, about 33% are from the PC, 33% from the PS2, and 34% from the 360. In terms of servers, you will run into 66% of PSOW's users if you play on the PS2/PC side.

There are 3 differet sections of PSU.
PS2/PC for US/EU users.
PS2/PC for JP users.
360 for US/EU/JP users.

I haven't played yet. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif And I don't even wanna get voice chat.

hehe no worries about age http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif im sure no body here bites... very hard...

[FenixStryk]

Overall, there were very few angry adolescents, likely because it takes a lot to figure out how to DL it, much less DL it before time ran out. Also, yo an always boot them, and yo could only voice chat to people in your party.

I will be on the PC as well.

[NeuroNomad]

LOL. Makes me think of a guild I was part of in WoW before. The GL always seemed very mature and everyone thought he was in his 30s at least. Then we finally went on Vent one night before doing a MC run and there was this voice of a very young kid. Everyone was like, who the heck? It turned out it was the GL's son. He was trying to pull a fast one on us. He had worked for a few weeks to get his son ready to trick us.

I wish I could have seen everyone's face because I am sure they must have looked like me with a WTF expression. lol.

[FenixStryk]

Voice chat really helps. Less junk in your lap, and easier to say rather specific things. And it's more personal than letters in a box.

[TheStoicOne]

LAst year on PSO-X, I swear I ended up spending probably near 100- something dollars just on mics. They broke WAY too easily.

[DrEngrish]

yay another happy parent. Parent gamers are the coolest... Yet, I sadly didnt grow up in this generation.

Anyone else here listening to music... *listening to jazz*

[FenixStryk]

You think the Xbox mics are bad? The 360 mics are craptastic. Whoever designed them is a complete moron.

[pink-stitches]

I always listen to music when on the computer, if I don't its weird =x

[DrEngrish]

aww no earphones... bummer http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[FenixStryk]

I'd be listening to music right now, but someone's right behind me trying to sleep. o_o;;

[Numnuttz]

yup these mics are bad. thats why alot of people use cell phone ones instead.

[FenixStryk]

Tell me about it. If it wasn't for me typing quietly, she'd wake up from the clicking!

[FenixStryk]

Yeah, cellphone mics are much more reliable. If my new 360 mic breaks, I'll get one like that.

[TheStoicOne]

Is anyone here familiar with Adriana Lima?

[NeuroNomad]

No music here, listening to Art Bell on Coast 2 Coast. Hey don't laugh if they aliens start invading during the night I will have a heads-up. LOL.

Lol, nice Prey reminder. Art Bell is cool for having helped the makers of Prey with that.
Let's just say she's a special someone. =]
Adriana, a supermodel huh? Pretty hot, but I'm not picky. =o

[pink-stitches]

I have both, I just click whichever one is closer at the time...

[Flunky]

Firefox! Of course, using IE on a mac would be just silly. Version 5.0 or something, you need to download it from an abandonware site.

[TheStoicOne]

Adriana Lima is a model that was born in Salvador, Bahia Brasil!!! She is the best model!!!
And Ela e gostosa if you know what I mean.

[NeuroNomad]

By the way if any of you guys are PC Gamers and thinking about getting BF:2142, save your money. I played it for like an hour and was like (OMG I just paid $50 for a freaking BF2 Mod that isn't even that good) and listed my copy on Ebay. Down with EA.

[FenixStryk]

Firefox FTW. Much easier to use, and less popups. Tabbed Bookmarks also help a lot.

[Flunky]

Oh, and I stopped by Universe 1, first floor. I like the 'must destroy the one ring!' yelling, but without a keyboard hooked up to my 360 I can't talk too quick outside parties. Said my patent 'preposterous!', stood about for a bit, and left.

[NeuroNomad]

Firefox user.

Yeah that was a cool little deal within Prey with AB. I sat there and listened to it giggling all the time.

[FenixStryk]

EA fails miserably. I pray they don't get as bad as SOE. SOE screwed up PlanetSide, an awesome MMOFPS, as well as SW:G. They don't support their games!

I'll admit that we are worse than equally equipped forces but wands will give us +100-400 Tap as we rise from C to A wands.

No class is completely pontless in PSU. While some things like Newman Hunters and CAST Forces are obviously weaker, the downfalls aren't gamebreaking... unless you're a perfectionist.

I agree with this- while you won't dish out as much damage as a cast force, at the same time any non-casting you do will be slightly more competent, and you'll be a good deal more durable. Newman hunter? Decently high evade, but less damage/HP/defense... not using spells with a newman will be losing something sure, but you won't be useless by any means.

Cast/ranger here.

Fenix, are you planning on going on the forums till PSU is in your hands? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[NeuroNomad]

Same here. I do want to do a Cast just because I want to make one look like Guiver.
http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/39/34/28m.jpg

Also would like to do a Beast. Doubt I will do a Human though.

[DrEngrish]

Newman Force i think.... but im still tryin got figure out bc i want a character for tanking...

[FenixStryk]

CAST Guntecher here.

[pink-stitches]

Whenever I play online I always play a healer type class. So it should be fun with a force, I can do damage too! hooray : )

[Flunky]

Cast/wartecher or figunner... I like close combat fighting, but there were few enough healers out there on beta to make me interested in picking up some support magic abilities to help out where needed.

[DrEngrish]

the image link didnt work... you got another?

[FenixStryk]

Beasts are best for tanking AFAIK. That or CASTs.

[Flunky]

FenixStryk, how would you say dual pistol handle compares to rifle ammo?

In my brief stint on beta as a ranger, I tried all the available weapons except for dual handguns... and felt that rifles ran out of ammo much too fast and machineguns were thoroughly 'meh'. Are dual handguns a saving grace of sorts?

[FenixStryk]

I plan on going to PSOW until a few weeks after I quit PSU. I may not be as active, come Oct25, but I won't leave anytime soon.

[Blenjar]

I'm very hungry, I think I'll go eat.

[TheStoicOne]

What is AFAIK?? I saw someone post that in this model forum that I'm in! They were talkingabout elite Inc.

[NeuroNomad]

Oh I enjoy playing healer classes for sure. Played Priest and Druid in WoW, Warden in EQ2, etc.

[DrEngrish]

hmmmm.... im getting so excited about playing online and... but i want to know the story for offline also... How do you manage to muster up the self control to beat the offline before you play online fenix?

[FenixStryk]

Twin Handguns have about 25% less ammo than Rifles and have less range, but allow you to strafe while shooting and hit twice per trigger pull. This thus makes them better for SE but worse for damage dealing and range.

In general, the best weapons for longevity are Rifles and Shotguns for Rangers, but a smart Ranger knows how to get around ammo limitations. If all else fails, use a crystal to go back to Block 1 and refill at the Photon Cube in town. Leaving the mision area does not put on a penalty for the mission results.

[Flunky]

Same here. I do want to do a Cast just because I want to make one look like Guiver

Bioarmor GUYVER? Heh, came across a cast named GUYVER in the beta, said it was from biobooster GUYVER when asked if it was from McGuyver.

[Flunky]

AFAIK is As Far As I Know.

[Hustler_One]

Ok, question for yah then. This may have been asked already, like I sadi I didnt read every post >>


Out of the two Beta version bosses, did you feel either of them was too easy, too hard, ect...


I guess what im asking in a nutshell is are the bosses a blast to fight like they were in PSO, or are they overly frustrating/boring?

haha sweet!

[FenixStryk]

AFAIK = As far as I know.
I always play offline first, to unlock goodies and because I can beat it quickly. I play for long periods of time.

[DrEngrish]

what sort of unlockables will PSU have other than extra mode?

[Flunky]

Yeah, I know it doesn't give a penalty but for some reason I always thought it was unsportsman-like to the poor monsters, heh. I like the sound of those dual-handguns... and figunners can use 'em, too... hmm.

[TheStoicOne]

I miss Blenny http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[NeuroNomad]

Here's another cool photo of The Guyver:

http://www.mechanicalrage.it/foto/guyver/guy01.jpg

[FenixStryk]

Compared to PSO, the bosses are just fine, although they lack the drama of a cutscene intro/death animation. They're a bit harder, but are just as fun.

[Nani-chan]

Yeah I am thinking cast guntecher too. I was caseal back in the days when it wasn't a powerful class on the Pso. It's a cosmetic thing for me.

In Beta I picked the devil horns caseal, that's why I make satanic jokes every once in awhile.

[FenixStryk]

Unlockables in PSU? Besides Extra Mode? Online missions that open once you beat parts of Story Mode, I hear

BLENJAAARR!

[pink-stitches]

I just want to double check but, to regen PP, you have to keep the weapon equipped right? You can't just switch to another and it will recharge that way right?

hmmm maybe I should play all the way through the game in one sitting too... ive never done that before for any RPG.... crap wait... isnt this game 50 hours !!! 0.0.....

[Flunky]

Bosses were bloody fun.

The De Ragan was a little easy in my opinion, but I only attempted at C rank. Onmagoug was a blast, had some moves that catch you off guard the first few times, and stayed kinda difficult each time- I got the feeling having a good ranger would make the Onmagoug much easier though, only fought him with hunters and forces (and solo'd twice with a hunter).

Unlockables? Beyond extra mode I kinda doubt there'll be much unlocked from playing offline.

[Nani-chan]

yes have the weapon equipped to recover PP. The exception is the photon squares at rest stops, before bosses or in wrond directions ever 3 or so blocks can recover all weapons PP in exchange for meseta.

[FenixStryk]

PP only recharges on its own if it is currently the selected palette. So, if you switch from Twin Handguns to, say, a Mechgun/Saber palette, the Twin Handguns won't regen; however, if you have a Mechgun/Saber combo in the same palette and you switch to the Saber, th Mechgun will regen PP.

As long as there isn't that weird material limit in PSU I'm happy. (in fact, just leave the materials out of this game)

[TheStoicOne]

Hey Fenix lets give this thread the Coup de gras before it gets too big.

If the game IS 50 hours long, I'll take sleep breaks, eating breaks, etc... y'know, 'cause life comes first? Otherwise, Ethen gets a good workout!

[pink-stitches]

Okay thanks http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif That's what I thought. : )

[Flunky]

FenixStryk, I'm pretty sure they just cut the cutscenes outta the beta. I remember seeing a youtube video of the De Ragan fight that had cutscenes.

Yeah, you need to have a weapon equipped for it to passively regen PP. That's why one-handers are good, you can use the off-hand while the main-hand recharges.

Guyver was an anime series at some point, was it not?

Haven't heard that, would like to know how that would work though if it is true.
