Yes, it should include Gi-techs.
No Skills other than those for Axes, Claws, Twin Claws, and Double sabers.
No Bullets other than those for Gernades, Lasers, Crossbows, and Cards.

Does anyone know if it will include the christmas theme also?

Itsuki

It hasn't been announced, so I wouldn't expect it.

Sega said it will be "updating every week after the Dec 8 update during the month of December." So expect the theme to come on later, like the 15th or so. (this is a rough quote as I don't wanna go fishing for it in the article at 1up.com)

On that topic... have they come around to adding Gravity Strike and other PAs used by NPCs to online mode for you guys? Just curious.

Yes, I meant the JP version. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif I'm plenty aware it's only our first update... but I would like to know if those PAs are on the list of things to come. Grav Strike <3

Gravity Strike is online on PSU JP. As I recall (I'm too lazy to log in and check right now), right now every melee weapon has two PAs, guns have all six elemental PAs, and they have every Fire and Ice technique, all but one Lightning tech, all but two Earth techs, three Light techs, and only two Dark techs are online.

Er, just to be clear, that's what's online on PSU JP now, not what PSU US will be getting in a week. I'd give 100:1 odds on there being nothing in the next US update that wasn't in the second JP update (see Itsuki's post).

Does the new techs include light and dark stuff?

VanHalen

Dec 3, 2006, 05:55 PM

are the story missions gonna be in this update? cause i didnt see it mentioned not unless its one of the 10 missions being put in

Atreus_Ryneth

Dec 3, 2006, 06:44 PM

Don't worry, I'm aware of that, I'm just glad they are adding those types of PAs somewhere down the line. I have plenty of patience.

Ravennittes

Dec 3, 2006, 06:48 PM

lavos: No

Van: Preaty sure Episode II Chapter I will be released as well. (also known as Chapter 13)

Don't we get some extra S-rank mission Dec.8 , that JP did'nt get in expert type update?

I'm glad we are since it shows SOA is doing some kind of game balance stuff , instead of releaseing fake turn-on the switch updates. ;p

Realmz

Dec 3, 2006, 06:58 PM

the dec8th update nets us expert types, and something like six S rank missions (more then the original JP update gave them, so i hear, sega maybe reorganizing updates for US) so i hear

Ravennittes

Perhaps trying to level the playing field between JP and NA/EU so that they have what we have and visa-versa.

Itsuki

Dec 3, 2006, 08:21 PM

you have to remember, jp is getting atleast 3 updates during december aswell.

Anyways, with the Episode 2 chapter 3 update, we got 2nd PAs for all weapons, dark and light bullets, basic support techs, and damu techs, and Ra Megid. I believe in total for techs, it was 4 buffs, 3 debuffs, 4 damu techs (ice, fire, earth, dark), and Ra Megid.

Now, I can't look at the website right now, but I want to say that was the... 5th update after the extended class update. Give or take an update.

Ravennittes

Dec 3, 2006, 08:27 PM

So... Mid/Late-January for that update I'd imagine, since we on the NA/EU servers will get 3-4 updates this month.

Better question:

Does the update include converter boards such as silica->carbon & ash->ebon?

Itsuki

Dec 3, 2006, 10:32 PM

ash -> ebon yes. Ore boards up to 8 star? I think. And uhh... B->A metal boards added aswell. Among other things I'm sure. No A-rank grinder boards.

But there never have been, and probably never will be hard metal boards (silica / carbon / polymer / etc.)

Remedy

Dec 3, 2006, 10:39 PM

Yeah, I'd be very, very surprised if they released hard metal boards.

Thanks! No wonder why armor costs so much in NPCs...
