Maximum Attack Infinity

[Mike]

MAI has ended. We ended up with nearly 70 million kills and even missed one kill target but it was a good run. You can check out the original posts in the spoiler boxes below.

Skyclad once built a test colony called Clad 0. The colony, being abandoned to the edges of the solar system afer it's purpose was completed, has reappeared in the Gurhal system and is headed straight for the middle of the sun. If it reaches the sun, Clad 0 will explode, taking the sun with it, and turn the Gurhal system in to a sea of death. According to a GRM investigation, the propulsion reactors are currently being powered by a mysertious space in the colony's city. The only way to stop Clad 0 is to enter the space and defeat the monsters that are it's source of power. There are only 28 days until Clad 0 reaches the sun. Men and women of Little Wing, the solar system has been entrusted to you.


On Multimode and Internet Multimode Missions
Starting in the third week of the event, adhoc multimode versions of the MAI missions have been distributed. However, playing these online is possible too. The two versions of the missions are slightly different from each other so to differentiate between the two, the online version of the missions appear in orange in the mission counter while the adhoc version appear in white


Missions

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21161

Maximum Attack Infinity 1
You'll have a real blast in this mission. It consists of all :light: element enemies and features a short 2-block run with lots of blast charging devices and even an Indiana Jones-style boulder run!


http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21162

Maximum Attack Infinity 2
In this nostalgic mission, you'll find yourself fighting through the Mines and Ruins of Ragol. Someone's been messing with the lights though so most of your trip will be in the dark. Watch out for trap related bugs in the last room!


http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21393

Maximum Attack Infinity 3
MAI3 takes you under the seas of Parum to a factory filled with machines and other nasty things. About a third of the way through, you'll need to split up and take on various challenges.


http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21507

Maximum Attack Infinity 4
MAI4 will take you on a voyage on Crowly. It is infected with SEED cores though and it would be in your best interest to remove them. It may be much more rewarding too.

And such, the first two MAI (MA∞?) missions along with the related exchange mission will be distributed on June 1st.
MAI 1 will take place in the Relics that ends with a fight against the Dila Bravus.
MAI 2 will take place on Ragol with Olga Flow as the boss.
The event missions will come in A and Infinity difficulty levels.
Dying is ok! (you won't fail the mission if you die)
The exchange mission will work like the previous Maximum Attacks: Earn tickets, trade tickets.
Bonus areas exist as a post-boss rare block.
The main prize weapons will be able to obtain an elemental percentage of up to 100%. Yowza.
There are Rapico feathers hidden throughout the missions. Collect them for and you might get something nice.
A certain man's partner card will be available?
EXP x 2, TP x 2, 200% drop rate
Internet Multimode only

Previously, there were four 16 star weapons up as reward weapons but due to people getting in a huss about it, the reward weapons have been changed to the following:


http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21125
God Hand
12 star knuckles

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21126
Esperansa
13 star twin sabers

Komazuri Rod
13 star rod

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21128
Giga Fone
14 star machine gun


But just because the reward weapons are 16 stars, doesn't mean there won't be 16 star weapons dropping in the infinity rank version of the event missions.

In addition to the MAI missions, there will be a special "Come-back campaign" mission distributed on the 1st as well. What this means is two Extend Codes and two Infinity Extend Codes from every member of Little Wing! Only once per account though.[/spoiler-box][/spoiler-box]

[Tyreek]

Very, very intriguing. And yes Mike, you did the correct symbol for Infinity. Cannot wait to play this. And the premise of the mission is awesome.

[MESeele]

That sounds awesome. Lacking a decent connection is starting to bear it's ugly side... You think they'll eventually make them available as downloadable missions like they did with the vanilla version MAX?

[Mike]

After the event is over? Yes.

[Wayu]

100% element?

x2 everything?

I know what people are spamming for the next few months.

Also, what the hell could Clad-0 have onboard to have enough power to destroy something with a furnace burning with the equivalent of thousands of nuclear weapons going off simutaneously per second?

If they work it like MAX, then that bonus will only last until the event ends.

[Wayu]

Most spammed until the event ends, then.

And I'll be missing out on it. Bummer.

Stupid AP exams. One more month and I'll have finished the most difficult AP courses in one year!

-Wayu

[Ami]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I honestly expected the first event to be out in June. So this is a great surprise (now only if PSN stop taking a repeated crap on my connection...). I really hope for some clothing. But that might not happen.

Hey Mike, you plan on doing like a mini get-together for the event?

[Mike]

Hey Mike, you plan on doing like a mini get-together for the event?
I hadn't thought about it but it sounds like a good idea. There's not a whole lot of info about the missions, difficulty in particular, so I think I might wait a bit first.

[Ami]

Mmkay O ^Ob

Though now that you mention it, I'm wondering if it'll be like MAX when it came around, the lowest rank being A rank. I know that there's going to be an Infinity rank.

Hmm, I'm leaning that Rapico wings are to get Rapico's card.

[Mike]

I'm pretty sure there will be an infinity rank this time around which is why I'm trying to press my character in to shape for another rebirth. There's only a week to go.

[Aine]

EXP x 2, TP x 2, 200% drop rate

Bwahaha too late... at least I won't have any Rebirth downtime during the event so I'll be able to take full advantage of the drop rate in ∞ rank.

[GeoSword]

It's like a gigantic InterStellar Ballistic Missile gunning for the sun. The way they make Clad Zero pan out to be seems like its purpose was to be a weapon; something like a warship. I'm gonna have to bum rush and rebirth again to prepare for this event. Don't want to be "that weak guy" again.

[Ami]

Dun worry about being weak, Ami's there to protect you :3

Looks like I'll be doing a screenshot special for the event <o<

[DeviFoxx]

Well Mike, if you do stage a get-together, count me in.

The x2 Everything is too good to pass up. At least I won't have to waste stones on "Magashi" for a good while. Maybe I can get all my stat points maxed out and won't have to Rebirth anymore.

I checked that site and haven't seen a list of weapons / armor / clothes available in the mission yet--maybe they haven't posted it yet or maybe I just glossed over it.

I think that when I get the game once I max my stats I'll still rebirth just to level up again.

[SammaeltheDark]

Dilla Bravass is the boss in MAI 1? ;A;
Otherwise the event sounds like a fun way to relevel up Nohman while grinding rewards!


My, the PSP2I MAI page sure looks Hyuga

The only thing shown so far is that one rod. Everything else will get updated at the event goes on.

[DeviFoxx]

The only thing shown so far is that one rod. Everything else will get updated at the event goes on.

I saw that rod, It looks very... Neudaiz-ish (Or "Japanese Fantasy" stylized).

I'm trying to figure out, is it a Rod or a Spear from the way it looks...

http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp2i/mainfinity/contents/index/image/reward_ss.jpg

The bladed end of it makes me think "Spear" (Awesome, because I use Spears a lot as a Beast Hunter) ... But the fact that a Newman Male is wielding it makes me think "Rod".

[Typestatic]

Looks like I'll be doing some video coverage again, who's in to get on down with me? =o

[Ami]

Unfortunately, you know I am <o<


And it's a rod, when you use the press and hold techs the rod is held like that

[Mike]

It may be the Amaterasu. That's what it looked like on the PSU event site.

[DeviFoxx]

I wonder how many Stars / What Rank it is...

Or if it'll be worth swapping out my Ryuhojido for it.

[Mike]

It's 16 stars, that's all I remember off hand.

[SammaeltheDark]

Here's hoping Heart of Poumn will be an event reward <_<

[Crysteon]

I posted a pic of it some time ago. There you go:

Hmm... Not bad. Not bad at all... Evidently it's one of the strongest Rods in the game, I'd wager.

Well, that solves that.

At least now I'll have that to shoot for when the event goes live.

Gonna try to hit at least hit Lv. 165 before then so I'll be ready to tackle the event. (I'm Lv. 145 now from my last Rebirth)

Funny that they named it 神杖アマテラス "Divine Staff Amaterasu".

[Crystal_Shard]

Damn, I miss out on a single day and this has already three pages. ^_^

I was hoping to get Shard on par with Crystal's level first, but I think I'm gonna have to put her into intensive training first for this event. Definitely going to be there.

It would have been nice if it was a brand new dungeon area called Clad 0 though, but it seems to be following the previous Max Attacks and reusing dungeons?

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH Why can't they have events like this for the vanilla US PSP2? I'd love to get some of these DLC missions in english(not being able to read them stinks. couldn't the Japanese make use of regular characters? ).

[Wayu]

That's SEGA of America's problem, not SEGA of Japan's.

I guess I'll try my PayPal again...

-Wayu

[Crystal_Shard]

Hmm, if we're getting double the exp, maybe I can use the event for training my alts as well come to think of it... I wonder which other weapons will be revealed as the remaining three bonuses. Any guesses on those Crysteon, based on the weapon data you have?

Also, I wonder if the Amaterasu is a fixed element or if we can earn a rainbow set like we can for some of the other MA Exchange weapons...

@Wayu: There's still another 6 more days till the event starts. Should be more than enough time if you can finally get through paypal. ^_^

[GeoSword]

Here's hoping Heart of Poumn will be an event reward <_<

I think Heart of Poumn was a drop if I recall. I remember seeing images of it in the uploader and someone else posted images of it here.

[Crysteon]

I cant see the other 3 from the event image so far. Until the full sized panel is released, I would gladly tell you guys what's inside, lol.

[Crystal_Shard]

@Crysteon: Event image? Didn't see anything like that on the site. Maybe I missed something?

Anyway, what I mean is that from the data you have, given that Amaterasu is the first weapon announced, do you see any potentials from the weapons that are as yet unreleased/haven't dropped for anyone yet? XD Maybe the theme is for weapons with significance for the races or something...

[Ami]

Hmm I don't think it would be that, maybe the ones that no one has found it drops yeah. But that's like maybe 2-3 weps. And I can easily see those being item trade for tickets

I have a feeling that the kill count will go towards bonus routes, extend codes (highly unlikely but MAYBE an Extend Code Infinity), and adding percentage to that rod. Probably start off as 50% and each week have a chance to increase it by 10%.

Oh, check PSU's side. There are a few images showing there: http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/mainfinity/

I dont have a clue for the other 3 weapons, but my prediction would be that we might see 3 more 16*. Giving away an Amaterasu that easily....hmmmmm...is odd.

[Crystal_Shard]

@Crysteon: Probably even more shocking is that it might be 100% element as well. If there's a rainbow set, this might be my new goal for a while until I get lucky with a set of PWands and/or their successor.

On the PSU side, the other three panels seem to be blank at the moment... it also seems like the PSU crowd is getting a bunch of Infinity weps as well.

@Ami: If the percentage stops at a non even percentage, I think I shall initiate a major orz.

[Wayu]

Fusion Codes.

-Wayu

[Ami]

BAH we get enough Fusion codes as it is. *still has 30 from titles*

Hmm I don't think we'll have a problem meeting any of the kill counts. I think that the crowd is bigger compared to MAX and we were able to surpass all the counts when MAX was live.

[Crystal_Shard]

@Wayu: Can't fuse beyond 50%. orz

@Ami: True that. Infinity is much bigger than the previous versions after all.

Unless they give us an impossible number just to troll the crowd. XD

[Mike]

The official blog (http://ameblo.jp/phantasy-star-portable2/entry-10866335205.html) was updated with some info on the event.
A and Infinity difficulties exist.
The event missions will work like free missions rather than extra missions in that if you run out of scape dolls, the missions won't end in failure.
Bonus blocks are actually handled like rare blocks only showing up after the boss.
There are some enemies that only show up in these bonus areas.
The partner card of a certain fellow will become available near the end of the event.

I really enjoyed the pressure that MAX gave last year, the IRONMAN-esque rules was a tough one to get by but it got our acts together; working as a team for mission success.

Just until an enemy was being a cheatin cheap bastard.

I assume with the Infinity rank put in, they know that people are gonna die without scapes, so they gave us this little leeway. Actually with rebirthing and adjustments made to types and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they ramped up the difficulty to like how MAX was initially. remember the One hit eyebeam of death?

[SammaeltheDark]

I think Heart of Poumn was a drop if I recall. I remember seeing images of it in the uploader and someone else posted images of it here.
I have yet to see any drop information of it. The weapon has been on disc since launch, so it wouldn't be surprising that some people obtained it through other means...

[Alucard V]

Also, what the hell could Clad-0 have onboard to have enough power to destroy something with a furnace burning with the equivalent of thousands of nuclear weapons going off simutaneously per second?

So it powerful enough to cause a chain-reaction that can cause star to go nova.
That's bad, really bad. Well best of luck to you, hope everthing works out. If anyone needs me I'll be working on my get-away ship. Speaking of witch I'm meeting a man on Moatoob about a subspace engine.

[Aine]

Obviously it was going to happen, but official word (http://www.psp2infinity.jp/pc/information/20110425/) that MAI is on hold. The new date will be announced after PSN goes back up.

[Crysteon]

Here are the names of the weapons I know from the MAI panels:

**BIG SPOILERS AHEAD**
[spoiler-box]
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DPTastic/MAI_weps_.jpg

Amaterasu- Rod
Orochi Agitos- Twin Sabers　(Credits to Ceresa for the name)
Eternity Gazer- Shotgun
Heart of Despair - Sword

Also notice all weapons are 16★ .
[/spoiler-box]

[Ceresa]

Nice to see they're ensuring that rare hunting in this game will only be for raising a shitty % on your partner card, top tier loot in any element at 100% for all types! At least wait until PSO2 is almost here before adding such a welfare system...

Orochiagitos for the twin sabers btw.

100% Gazer. This is so stupid, it's obvious Sega doesn't care anymore because they've got PSO2 in the works.

With a big, new title and a lot of pretty screenshots, it's hard to blame them but man, they better up the number of event tickets it takes to pick up additional reward weapon tickets this time around.

[Aine]

With a big, new title and a lot of pretty screenshots, it's hard to blame them but man, they better up the number of event tickets it takes to pick up additional reward weapon tickets this time around.

Even if it was 200 tickets to a coupon, everyone will eventually get rainbow sets and it'll become Ranger Online: Infinity. The only thing holding that back is if we don't reach the count kills in time and the element doesn't get to 100%, but from the looks of it the PSU Elihams have got this covered.

[Ami]

...

I'll just keep it in. It will never become Ranger Online btw because as much as I love the boost to shotguns, I won't be playing my RA alt as much as I'll play Ami..who's a HU, that does crap damage with pretty much RA wep that isn't a rifle. JUST SAYIN

ANYWAYS, I think I'll just get one of each wep this time around period. They all happen to be weapons that each of my characters can use (but Ami can only use it...since she's 160+). But I think I'll just see myself using the rod. I might use the Orochi Agitos, but they look so blah. Hyakka is pretty to look at.

Isn't like two of the weapons from the list found already ingame? I could have sworn I saw the sword as a possible drop in a mission at the very least.

I'm already a bit sadface that there are no t.daggers. I'm hoping for the event trade mission, but I highly doubt it. T.daggers get no love ; ~;

[Neith]

Yeah, Heart of Despair drops from Astark, and the SEED versions of them.

I'm not keen on the idea of 100% 16* weapons, at least with MAX the weapons were only 10-12*. I also think rewards should be items that aren't available as drops as it takes away any real point of hunting them.

I suppose it depends on how difficult the reward items are to get.

Amaterasu, Gazer, and HOD are all available as drops already.

The two main problems with these rewards are:

1. They've used weapons that are available already, so people who worked hard to gather them and have treasures like 60% get shafted.

2. In an RPG like this where rare hunting and gathering equipment is a huge part of the journey towards the endgame, making the strongest weapon available easily as a trade takes away the whole point.

Anyway, if you ignore the fact that they picked already obtainable weapons, I think Amaterasu, Orochi and HOD are actually decent choices. They're all 16 star weapons that are remarkably weaker than other weapons in their category.

100% Amaterasu is still weaker than yet-to-be-released EPD, and often as Force you pick techs for their traits instead of matching elements to the enemy so the percentage doesn't count anyway, in which it will be weaker than Psycho too. The PP cost reduction on Psycho also makes it a much better choice.

Orochi is still weaker than Sangeyasha, Despertar and Yaoroz, because it lacks the high PA multiplier.

HOD becomes the strongest weapon in its category, but it's a weak category to begin with so it's not that much of a game-changer.

Gazer is just silly. It's already the strongest weapon in arguably the strongest category (SCS2 is 260% times 15 hits, which outdoes even pre-nerf BD).

The good thing about these rewards? I'm a Cast Supremacist. Time to switch to Ranger...

[GeoSword]

Amaterasu, Gazer, and HOD are all available as drops already.

What drops Eternity Gazer? Been hunting that as RA and I have yet to see it. Heart of Despair dropped for me by an Astark in Infinity Rank on Mad Beasts as RA which I found weird seeing as its a sword.

I agree, as much as I like powerful weapons as the next guy, it does cheapen the feeling of having hunted for a weapon that now everyone can get with an improved %. I hope they do make it at least quite difficult to get an extra weapon, or not at all and limit it to one of each.

PSN being down and delaying the event is a bummer, but at least this can give others some time to try and rebirth and re-level if they haven't already...

So the Guardians are already halfway there to the kill count (http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp2i/mainfinity/) for Amaterasu. Will Little Wing even get the chance to send its troopers in?

[Crystal_Shard]

Wish there was a patch Sega could issue to let us borrow the PSU servers for a while. XD It looks like Little Wing is in for a pretty long wait.

[Mike]

Sources say "No." The US Playstation Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/) has said they expect to have things running in a week and if the US PSN is up in a week, I'd expect the Japanese one to be up at about the same time. This puts Infinity users in at just past the first week, I think.

Why not? They could do it if Sega and PSN decided to(or really more if PSN decided to get off their lazy butts and do it ) all Sega has to do is a little bit of localisation for the DLC and presto we've got ourselves a MAX Attack event.

Why not? They could do it if Sega and PSN decided to(or really more if PSN decided to get off their lazy butts and do it ) all Sega has to do is a little bit of localisation for the DLC and presto we've got ourselves a MAX Attack event.
Just look at the past history of Phantasy Star Portable:
PSPo US/EU - All ability to access DLC removed
PSP2 US/EU - Ability to access DLC retained but no plans to provide paid or free DLC to customers (pretty obvious by how they went out of their way to put the DLC-only items into regular on-disc missions)

Sega of Japan has made it known that they think Phantasy Star has no market in the West and is unwilling to expend time, money, and effort to support it. Sega of America has no power to convince SoJ to support it.

heck, even if PSP2i comes out in the west, it'll prolly be on the cusp of the NGP release so Sega would be even less likely to waste money on after-release support for a game with a niche user base on a dead, piracy-riddled system like the PSP.

[Mike]

Shogai has confirmed that Flowen and Rapico's partner cards should be available during MAI. Whenever MAI happens to start.

[SammaeltheDark]

Can't wait to see what Rapico does as an NPC partner

Because of the problems with PSN, they've decided to separate the PSU/PSPo2i events (points and weapon unlocking will be counted separately).

Also, the PSPo2i reward weapons will be changed (PSU rewards remain the same), the new lineup to be announced together with the new starting date.

I was wondering how they were going to handle that since people can already get their hands on an Amaterasu without the event being necessary.

[Mike]

Guess people weren't liking the idea of 100% 16 star weapons. Perhaps the new reward weapons will be more in the spirit of the event. There's also the weapons and things to look forward to from the trade mission.

[Mike]

Rise from your gwave! MAI is on for June 1st!

First post was updated with the new details.

[MESeele]

Wooooo!! Sounds great. I'm just happy that there's still a rod available as one of the rewards. A 14* machine gun too, that should be interesting. 16* weapons was a admittedly a little cheesy. For a game where earning top weapons is a journey in itself, getting them off the bat took away from the spirit a bit. Still, I'm happy to know what the changes are. I was worried for a moment there.

Just wondering, are all these items new? Took a gander at the infinity drop charts, and none of these are listed. I want to know what elements I can boost for that rod :D.

[Neith]

Bah, not liking those reward items much; can't complain though because 100% 16*s was stupid. Still, I'd like to see the Orochi Agito at some point.

Seeing Dark Flow is great, but I know it'll be brick-hard to get (Olga is rough for me on S rank, nevermind Infinity :lol: )

Free Extend/Extend Infinity is sweet though, saves me hunting for treasures :wacko:

[Ami]

I'm still a bit mad at the items being changed :l

But I do like the rod and the knuckles so it isn't completely for naught. I really hope it doesn't start when I got work D:

[MESeele]

Huh, just wondering, how do we download the exchange mission for the free codes if we can't access the psn store?

[Ami]

Huh, just wondering, how do we download the exchange mission for the free codes if we can't access the psn store?
Unlike Infinity missions, which are from the store. These missions are downloaded when you go online. Kinda like a system update.

[MESeele]

Guess it's finally time for me to make a jpn psn account then ;D . Whether my connection will hold me for an entire mission is still a shot in the dark, but I should at least be able to pick up the mission.

[NDW]

[spoiler-box]http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1568&pictureid=21130[/spoiler-box]

YES YES YES!

[Fayorei]

Any recommended levels to do the event, or is there a lovely C-rank?:P

At any rate, I'm glad to see this sort of thing. Events are something that really get me in the mood to play a game, and I love the fact I can finally enjoy one again hopefully, seeing as I haven't really gone into one super hardcore since PSO: BB's MA2. That rocked.

[DeviFoxx]

Hahahaha... Well, alright.

I do like the "Comeback Campaign" they announced. Two Extend Codes, and Extend Code Infinities aren't half bad. Saves me the trouble of synthesizing more infinity missions to get them. Although, Extend Code Fragments drop in great abundance (when you party with support characters), kind of making the need for them to give you Extend Codes outright somewhat pointless.

I wonder if Dark Flow's gonna be anything like how it was in PSO Ep 1 & 2 where you could only swing it once, and not in a combo.

... I really want to abuse the mess out of this event to level up my Alternate Character's type level.

[Chris_Chocobo]

YES! My lovely Cursed Dark Flow! YES! but i cant play online:( so i'll wait to get this event after it ends. I want the Flowen Partner Card too.

[DoubleJG]

What exactly do the Infinity Extend Codes do? I have never used one.

I am very excited to see that we are still getting this event!

[Strauss]

What exactly do the Infinity Extend Codes do? I have never used one.

They work like regular Extend Codes, making an already extended weapon even more powerful (to put it in a nutshell).

[Crystal_Shard]

Now this is most welcome news. Can't say I like the new reward weapons much, least of all the mechguns, but I look forward to attempting the harder ranked missions.

Also, free Extend Code Infinity is excellent news. I won't have to search for that silly De Ragan IF trolling me in my search for a mission to drop the bronze treasure.

It'll be available on their site or when you go online. Only Infinity missions are downloaded via PS Store.

And when that mission will become available, there will be an additional trade mission in which we get those as well, if it's going the MAX route.

That's because there is maintanence going on on the PC site. You'll have to wait until it ends to change your password.

Yes, they will. The drop, exp, and TP boosts will likely be returned to normal rates though.

When you sign in to infrastructure multimode, the mission data will automatically be downloaded. The mission data includes all past missions as well so you don't need to worry about having missions disappear or anything. Unless there are bugs. That happens sometimes but usually gets fixed pretty quickly.

[WBMike]

I noticed this was changed

各ミッションごとにボーナスブロックが存在し、ボーナスブロックはパネル開放で発生するものだけではなく、 ボス後のレアブロックもあります [link (http://ameblo.jp/phantasy-star-portable2/entry-10866335205.html)]

to

各ミッションごとにボーナスブロックが存在し、ボーナスブロックはパネル開放で発生するものだけではなく、 レアブロックもあります [link (http://ameblo.jp/phantasy-star-portable2/entry-10908074969.html)]

So now i'm guessing the rare block he was referring to was for heaven mother now. I'm not sure when he changed it, but both posts used to say after the boss.

[Mike]

Maybe there was some technical difficulty involved that prevented people from being able to teleport to the Mother block after the boss was completed.

[Neith]

Anyone else sometimes not able to get back to lobby after completing the Flow mission? I'm doing A, and it's happened twice now. Seems that having one player drop out is the only way to 'fix' it. Usually works fine, but I wonder if anyone else has got the same problem.

[Malice913150]

i like how all the rewards have been recieved 3 days after the event starts lolol

[DoubleJG]

I just finished MAI1 and saw something called Ascension (?) appear in my rewards dialogue. However, I had a full inventory. What exactly is it?

[Mike]

The event was updated with the next weapon and a new kill reward. The Komazuri Rod will need 35 million kills for 100%. At 20 million in a week, I don't think that's a problem but without a new event mission, I think people's interest will wane. On the way to the rod is a new kill reward too. At 30 million kills, the elements of the weapons you can earn on the reward screen will be permanently boosted to at least 15%.

In other news, there were more cheaters and horny teenagers banned today.

[Ami]

I dunno, quite a few people still don't have Dark Flow <o<"

I wasn't surprised that we smashed and ground into dust last week's kill count. iirc, we all did that in MAX.

I don't have the 16 star knuckles you can get from MAI 1.

But with MAX we got a new mission every week. We've had the first two MAI missions since the start so there's no new mission to keep everyone's attention.

[Crystal_Shard]

Count me as one person who hasn't played enough of either mission yet. If only this month wasn't so insanely busy...

Maybe they might add more bonus blocks as later milestones?

Permanent, as in, it will apply even after the event ends, or will the current boosted rates just get bigger?

[Mike]

Well, it just says permanent so I will assume that it will go in to affect during the event as well as after it has ended. The 30 million reward looks like it will go in to affect mid-event as well so that's why I'm assuming that the 40 million will too.

What do you know, it says further down the page what happens with the two newest event panels. The result weapon element boost panel only affects the MAI missions but the range is 0% or 15%~60% so :neutral: weapons can still be rewards. The +50% reward panel will be in effect during and after the event. This means that at 40 million kills, the event missions jump to 250% exp, tp, and drop rate.

We're still 7 million kills off from the reward so I wouldn't get excited yet. MAI 3 could put us at that goal during the weekend but at the current pace, I wouldn't be surprised if it took until next week to get.

EDIT: I was in a terrible MAI party tonight. Everybody was using twin handguns and it really hurt the ability to finish a combo. We'd get 40~60 combos on Flow it would disappear while the hunters were pulling out their swords.

[Neith]

Mike, any hints on how to beat Flow phase 1 quickly? I tried duoing it on Infinity difficulty with a friend and we ran out of time. I tend to play HU, friend plays mainly RA or FO.

Aside from this, I just need a few more tickets from Bravas before I can get an Agito, then I can get ready for MAI3 (despite how much I despise fighting Grafka).

From what I've observed, people use a combination of chainers and attackers. If you have a two person party it appears one should be designated as chainer, using guns or sazonde or foverse, but the point is to keep the chain really high as possible. The other person should only attack.

For you multimode players, MAI 2 is NOT solo friendly.

[Neith]

Tirentos and the surfer dudes in MAI3? God, this isn't gonna a pleasant experience.

Also, MAI1/2 only in Multimode (not Story like MAX was?). Shame really.

This is actually the best way to do it.

Hunters: Twin Handguns → Axe Grudda
Rangers: Twin Handguns → Shotgun CS2
Forces: Sazonde → Sazonde/Gizonde/Razonde

To avoid the problem of chains disappearing a Force is really important because Sazonde keeps the chain alive automatically. If there's no Force, you'll have to chain lower and decide who breaks the chain first based on who can deal the most damage.

In a perfect game, what happens is that Flow does his three-swipe attack at around the 20 second mark, and right as it ends the chain is about 70; break it immediately and just spam your finishers until he's dead. If you have enough firepower it's possible to finish it then, under 30 seconds.

Obviously in a random party things won't go that well and not everyone is using ultimate weapons, so it's better to break the chain at 40~50 and repeat.

[Mike]

Maximum Attack Infinity I and II are Multimode/adhoc/localmultiplayer missions. MAXI 1 is solo friendly, but MAXI 2 requires you to kill Olga Flow's first form in 10 minutes. Since you can't use scape dolls during a boss battle, dying on his first or second forms fails the mission. So if you can do that alone, you should be Ok,

Yeah i thought that was rather nice of them i half expected it to be low % chance but then again they did raise goal 15mil which was good estimate but seems was little too high with mission difficulty they got pretty close tho yeah its over 800k under but since its in the millions its negligible.

Well, tomorrow marks the end of MAI. The server will undergo maintenence from 1 to 3 pm and the reward exchange and the adhoc multimode version of MAI4 will be distributed. The current online only versions of the event missions will likely be removed.

It was fun! :(

Pretty much ran MAI2 for the whole event, really easy MP. To be honest I was disappointed with how short the missions were, and the complete lack of ranks (A and Infinity only, surely we could have had S-Rank at least?)

Got me a lot of EXP/MP, but I ultimately just ended up running MAI2 every day.

I'm sure a lot of people did exactly the same thing. Had I not wanted to get stuff from the other event missions, I probably would have myself.

Anyways, the reward mission and updated event missions are available now. You can also exchange extend fragments at Rapico's shop now too without the inventory message you get from Secret Society.

The blog (http://ameblo.jp/phantasy-star-portable2/entry-10939175710.html) hints at the next online "event" for Infinity:

Wow that was fast

What flavour of Nightmare blood did you guys get?

Damn, I'm saddened. Seems sega is at it again. Koumazuri rod is eh. Can only be fire or water boosted, and has 110 pp. God Hand is 70/90, but at least it has Stun. They must still have their love on about the twin sabers. lv 2 whatever, 100/100 (no incap though, but still).

It is 97% so it's not horrible. Not of the weapons are nearly as good as the things that came from the results screen though. Er, most of them. As for the Nightmare Blood, I'm going :light: since I have just a single :light: twin dagger.

I'm pretty torn over what element to take for my own Nightmare Blood, but it's likely to be a Dark element one in the end. I'd get the Fire Element one to have this one be accurate to the promo images, but I'm sick and tired of always getting fire/earth for so many weapons. orz

Also, that 97% for the Komazli Rod is really annoying my innate OCD. ^_^'

Oh well. Time to grind the mission more to make up for not getting much chance to do the event this month.

oh...and just thought that i´m the only one with that problem XD...


that´s what i love-hate some games with 100% complete things on it like...FFVIII...actually al FF...Armored Core series for PSP and PS3.... MH series....Pokemon...that OCD perfect game thing almost ruins my fave games XD

I was saying in one of our xat chats that it feels like a stain. And if my lazy american ass feels like that, I assume the Japanese are feeling a lot worse. I hope they aren't, but I assume they would be.

God Hand doesn't even need good stats, it's broken. I've been using mine in Electronic Brain Infinity/MAX 3 Inf and had no problems whatsoever. I miss a little, but I haven't even extended it yet. The 100% element completely negates the need to use anything else. (100% + Lv30 Bogga Ranpa = lol ggs)

Esperanza is stupid though, 100%, can give it Stun Lv2, and 600+ ATP after Infinity Extend.

What's great is that you can use excess tickets to trade for another ticket to get more of the 90%+ weapons.
