August 22: Neudaiz GUARDIANS Boost Road, New Missions, Fireworks Lobby and More!

Fireworks in Lobbies and Shops
Neudaiz is aglow in celebration this month. All across the night sky, beautiful explosions of color and light can be seen from the streets of Ohtoku City. Bask in the glow as you travel through the city, and pick up some fireworks of your own to participate in the glorious festival of light. Fireworks will be for sale at participating items shops and can be ignited during missions for the wondrous panoply.

That's a hell of a lot more than I was expecting. 9* AOI weapon boards in npcs maybe? Lets hope this means master types late Sept/ early Oct as Ruby has said they are planning to relase them before the next event now.

That's what I'm thinking, 9* AOTI boards and also 8* AOTI weapons on NPC

Baller. I'm really excited about the new missions, S2s. Rare Caves too.

... and to rack up more hours idling in the Neudaiz Lobby.

[Xefi]

for level 150 monsters for so long.

[RegulusHikari]

Cool stuff...

[Tyreek]

Looks like I'll have to dust off fraps again. Recording White Beast S2 should be... fun. And Caves of Illusion as well. Also, I have an Okarod to hunt.

[unicorn]

Wooooah, that would be godly...But I doubt we'll get all of that. I dunno....ST hasn't given us an update that big since the AoI update. XD

[GaNksTa]

I'll hopefully be playing Neudaiz GBR.. since that's what is supposedly coming right after MAG pt. 2

Looks like my hoping is over =P

[Tiyr]

Whoa...ummm...gogo Sega?

I know it's a bad sign when we're shocked by them doing what they're supposed to, but it's damn nice to see for a change. They better be careful before good updates starts becoming a trend! People might have to stop bitching!
