Non-Androids can now be shorted? Pointless - PSO-World.com Forums

Blue_Seth · 05-24-2003, 10:58 AM

I just got Xbox PSO a week or two ago and I notice that I shorted out when I was hit be lightning. At first I thought it was a glitch so I quit the game and started it up again. I went back to the mines only to get shorted again. Later, I got online and asked some people about it an they said that everyone can be shorted out now.

I think it's pointless because in real life, humans don't get shorted out; only machinces get shorted out. It also kinda unbalances out the system. Androids and non androids had advantages and disavantages over each other, but now one of the advantages we had over androids is gone.

I don't think that this game is supposed to immitate real life in the first place so it's not a big suprise to me.

Non androids have many advantages over androids like being able to use support and attack techniques. When I am playing with androids they rely on me to heal and support them with my techs so I often feel like I have more of an advantage as a non-android.

I think that if living creature was hit with enough electricity, that they would be paralyzed in at least some areas, but I'm not all that sure on this.

Well a large electric shock would certantly stun a human...

You kidding? You try getting hit by lightning and see if you can still move around immediately!

My theory is that it hits your armour and kills the internal battery making it alot heavier.

IceBlink · 05-24-2003, 01:52 PM

Just think of it as a short time paralysis. o_O Wait long enough and it will go away.

Only problem is, you have to use Sols if you're solo and you want to get rid of it. XD

Nah, just use Cure/Shock.

I noticed leveling up also reduces the chances of Shock. Try going in Very Hard Mines around 55, fight Vol Opt, get hit a lot, beat him, and revisit the place at 90 or 100.

That shock status on non-android chars is VERY annoying fighting Vol Opt.

Totally pointless if you ask me, maybe it was done to encourage players to use cure/shock units or something..

Yep. Taser. Those pretty much paralyse ya for a bit. Hey, even when you are paralysed you can move around and use items... you can even change your customizations... *shrug* Just accept it.
