PSOBB: No Costume change? =(

[EuLoGy]

[Saiffy]

Your team has to buy the dressing room option which is 3000 team points if I recall.

What? Team points? How does this work?

Special Weapons(IE, rare weapons) can be traded for team points.

Amount of points is determined by how many stars the rare is:
9 stars = 1 point
10 stars = 10 points
11 stars = 50 points?
12 stars = ? points

[Aki_Yoruno]

OMG, gross... That's an S-load of points... An S-load of rares!!

Oddly enough Musashi gives 10 points as well... and it is only 9 Stars... Possibly that it means all 9 star "basic" weapons? Or maybe just a glich I dunno...

[Tancient]

S ranks are an 11 star, but only give 10 points.
12 star rares give 100 team points (But they're worth SO much more....)

[Aki_Yoruno]

Heh, OK then. Scru costume changing! I'm happy enough w/ my char anyway.

[Tancient]

Well, if you look at the scores that the teams got, a bunch earned over 1800 in just a short span of two weeks. And thats with only Normal and hard available. Its really not that hard to get 3000 team points in a single month or two.

My team got 8000 team points in a single month(4 active players) but We also avidly hunted for the points, and I traded pds fora bunch.

[Nai_Calus]

Did they change it or something? Because S-Ranks were 12-stars just like they've always been, and pointed for 5 points, last I looked. Though 'Last I looked' was in February.

[Tancient]

You're probably right, I just knew they gave crappy point value and didn't live up to their star count. Too lazy to log into BB and find out, got better things to do for now.

Your team got 8000 points in the US beta, or the JP version? Also could you elaborate on what items you targeted for [Photon Drop >>>> Point] trading, and how many PDs you were offering for each 10 point item? My team has few members (and we intend to keep it that way) but we want a dressing room and it's giving us a headache. Any advice is appreciated.

[Pobega]

You can target for Fake In Yellow, and go for Rappys Wing. Each rappy's fan is worth ten points

[Tancient]

This was in the Japanese version, and currently the rate for team points is 50 team points = 1 pd. (Though before it was 20 team points = 1 pd, but the 5x drop rate presented inflation)

Also, because of the 5x drop rate, we were able to find lots of magic rock moola. Moola itself isn't pointable, but a summit moon is worth 50 points.

[Applet]

Can you explain the 5x drop rate? As in... how the JP users got it? Was there an AOL cup or something?

And I'm assuming by 50 points = 1PD you mean people will trade one photon drop for 50 points worth of rares, like, 5 rappy fans?

Similar to the AOL cup, but certainly not as dimeniang(haha) as that. We had a login cup. Needed 100 million, got 5x drop rate for the last 5 days. The drop rate was only in the MA2 quest (It was on episode 2) and once the quest was gone, then the drops were back to normal.

And yes, 1 photon drop for 50 team points worth of rares. I actually got a delsaber saber, something that I always wanted just to finish sets, while I was trading. Ended up keeping it, haha.

Since the US version is still in its infancy, however, 1 photon drop for 2 rappy wings may or may not be acceptable. Once the whole game is unlocked, hopefully the economy will stabilize.

Yeah, i'm still in favor of 10,000 meseta cost for dressing room but oh well.

What's up Eulogy, this is Nos-Sorrow, played with ya briefly. Anyways, catch ya later.

Yup, i agree with ya, and hey i wanted to add you to my card list but in this game you cant do that if your not in the same room, anyone im gonna start playing in that lobby so ill catch up with ya and add ya.

[chibiLegolas]

Isn't it possible to start charging players for adding them to their team temerarily, just for them to change costumes, then kick them out of the team?

This is assuming your team has unlocked it, and has a spare room to accept a new member.

This way, the one player can access the changing room once, in exchange, they offer up X amount of rares for team points. The team gets a few more points and both parties win.
No?
