Some bits of info I'm after from the Trial... inc. Grants Tr

[Defend]

1. What characters are available? Can you please list the starting stats for all the characters there are?

2. Then the level 5 stats?

It would be greatly appreciated, and wouldn't take too long would it? =]


3. Also, I'm reeeally interested in seeing the RAcast (mainly) and other droids outfits. Could someone please get some shots of a few good RAcast, RAcaseal, and HUcast costumes?

4. Finally, one tricky, and probably boring request. I want to find out if GC PSO uses 'hit recovery' in melee. DC v1 didn't, but v2 did.. and for those that noticed it, v1's way was much better.

The difference was that if you got hit in v2, you were momentarily invincible, and the next hit would often go right through you, even if you didn't fall over. This would always give you enough time to cast a spell, and attack again, without having to walk out the way.
In version 1 you could only use a mate, otherwise would have to run away as resta wasn't fast enough.
The easiest way to test is tackle Vol Opt with a character that can take the first stomp. If you can ever get the second (or third) stomp to go through you without damage, its using v2's method. =[

Or jump into a mob and see if they go whack swipe swipe whack swipe swipe.. instead of whack, whackwhack, whack whack whack whack whack.

5. Seen any bugs in the battle stage as yet?

6. Check ALL the PB's please for this MST business. The PBs in DC PSO all had different requirements for power.. eg, Pilla needed total ATP (not base - holding a strong weapon and shifta powered up Pilla), while Mylla and Youlla took mainly IQ into account. I would be interested to see if ST have changed all this to just MST.

7. Does the grants trick still work?? I'm amazed this hasn't been mentioned.

Thanks =]

Grants trick?

Do you mean FSODing somebody with Grants, or something else?

[Wewt]

Must mean the ability to hit another player with a tech within a non-battle mode game.

[Kent]

That works with any technique, and can also work backwards.

Yes, I HAVE casted Shifta on a Booma, and I've used Resta on a Hildebear (pissed some people off, too).

You can also Reverser enemies to make invicible zombie monsters.

Never heard of that one.

Does it work on bosses?

All.

And maybe some time when I'm bored or you can ask another trial player to do it for you.

It's v2's method.

Haven't tried it yet.

When you S/D a enemy they just flash for a second and go back to normal, unless you use S-rank special.

And useing Reverser doesn't make enemies inv. I've tried before, unless this was in v1, then I don't remember/haven't tried because I wasn't big on using glitch back then.

They dont just flash for a secound, if you cast shifta or deband on them it stays on them. You can only hit 1 monster at a time with S/D but it definatly works.

On making monsters in to zombies, if you do it corrcetly the doors in the room open as if the monster is dead(or undead lol). I was never able to do it when I wanted to but could do it sometimes.

I got Japanese v2 so perhaps they dont work on the US version I dunno. I dont think its a glitch either, other wise it probly wouldnt have been in v2.

[Wewt]

I hope they make sure you can't cast reverser on team mates this time like on the Japanese version of PSO. I still doesn't make sense to me that only the Japanese version of that trick was blocked and US/EU versions weren't.

[Defend]

Someone said it was patched on the JP servers before the US version came out.

Heh I'm surprised someone else knew about that reverser trick on baddies.. my RAmar mate discovered it once.. was so funny.

Yeh the baddie was counted as dead.. if you got him while he was sinking through the ground, he'd come back to life half submerged in the dirt hehehe.

It didn't quite work on bosses, my mate got it to work twice on the dragon. The problem is that the boss have that ending cutscene.
However.. if you did it offline it would take the boss (or baddie) to 1 HP.. yep the old US trick hehe. I can't remember which way around it was, but this either worked only in offline quests, or offline non-quests. One of 'em anyway.

We'd have battles with one person playing full support to the boss hehe.. resta'ing and anti'ing like mad. XD


Heh thanks Wata.. 2 questions answered at least. =p

[AynRand]

Do not do that.

Trial only lets you play Episode 1 offline and Ruins is missing. Not worth it.
