8 hour wait time for 8*, 12 hour wait time for 9*, 24 hours - PSO-World.com Forums

Your thoughts? I for one think it's pretty ridiculous. Waiting 8 hours just for it to fail truly sucks and will just add to the disapointment you feel. With a 100 Pure PM, you have a 54% chance of making the weapon, so it's basically a 50/50, and if you get two heads in a row, and the third is finally a tails, that's a wait of 24 hours to get a freakin' A rank weapon.

Lame.

Its really a difference of audience and MMO fundamentals. PSU is more catered (sp?) to the Asian population, who seem to be alot more hardcore about their MMOs. Besides that Sega cant seem to get past that first generation MMO time sink. And this my friend is one of them. The newer mmos hide them in things that are slightly fun, ie. WoWs old pvp grind , and EQ's raid system. Whatever keeps you playing a tad bit longer and wasting more time to put another dollar in their pocket.

Welcome to the nightmare that armor crafters have faced since day one.

Stop crying.

That's why you synth before you sleep or work or whatever.

The time isnt a problem the % chance of it working is.

Will this still be the case for uber rare weapons. Ie you spend ages gathering the mega rare parts, then only have a low % chance of actually making the item?

They wouldnt be "rare" if they were easy to make now would they?

File this under QQ more.

AndyPandy · 12-08-2006, 04:47 AM

I would have thought just finding the "rare" items is enough to make an weapon rare.

Regardless....its another reason for people not to continue playing the game when they realize how retarded the crafting is in this game.

Er my bad I though it said 9 hours for S rank stuff. 24 is a good amount of time. But I guess it is cool, makes S rank stuff even rarer.

Welcome to PSU, we strive to bring masochism frustration creativity to your home in as colorful a way as possible. You may say we at Sega are sadistic, and you would be right, but we don't like to call it that. We call it 'balancing the trade economy system'. Please don't bring up the logic of it being a computer (Partner Machine) that is synthesizing the parts and how computers would be able to repeat a process after a success indefinitely as that is too logical. Also don't bring up the idea of synthesizing having a greater and greater percent of success the more the Partner Machine is successful at synthesizing a particular item as, again, that is simply too easy and logical for us.

Thank you for your concerns,
Sonic Team C/O Sega
