PSOBB: Baby mag color question

[RicoRoyal]

From what I've seen while doing S-Parts ver2.01 runs, it has become quite clear that baby mag drops are no longer random (as they were in previous versions of PSO). I've picked up twenty or so black baby mags - no exceptions.

My question has to do with the dressing room option. Once said option is available, will a change in costume color be reflected in what color baby mag one finds in places such as mines? In other words, right now my RAmar is wearing a costume that produces black default mags and black baby mags. If I were to switch to a costume that would normally give a level 1, brand new character a red mag, would the already high-leveled RAmar now be capable of finding red baby mags in the mines?

I figure the JP BB players might know a bit more on this subject matter than the American version players do. Either way, please, someone enlighten me! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

He already did actually. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif And I am just as stumped as he is.

Funny you should say that. See, he's my PSOBB team leader and I just got done asking him not more than two hours ago. He's as clueless as I am http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

EDIT: Damn you, Blitz, and your quick speed http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

The best way to check is to find out for yourself.

But, the Baby Mag colour in mines is from Dreamcast, for some reason not in Gamecube, if that helps, if you can do it in Dreamcast versions.

[Sef]

Yeah, I was going to say...On GC I seem to remember always finding... grey(I think, it's a dark color) mags in Mines and from De Rol Le(and Ult counterpart)...

Maybe not though...

I'll have to do some runs and see what's up with that. >_>

[Tancient]

Yes, costume color reflects mag color in mines. I believe whomever picks up the mag, it becomes that color of mag (The picker's color)

That's correct. But on PSO+ you found random colors.

So it's costume color at any given time, right? Not just the original (as in, when the character was first created) costume color of the player who picks it up, correct? I just want to be sure is all. Thanks in advance.

Oh, and sef, the reason you find the grey ones on GC is because of a STupid glitch. I hears that in PSO Plus, baby mags from mines were random colors (the way it was originally intended)

EDIT: Blitz... I'm going to hurt you. ALOT. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

What about mags from Mountain in GDV? I found one in a box, and it was white (my character got a mint green baby mag).
So does this mean it's different in mines?

[RicoRoyal]

Astuarlen, was that in a solo game or were you playing with others? Maybe the color is determined not by who picks it up, but rather by the person who created the game (just like drops and such).

Eitherway, it's good to know other colors droped for you. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif

[astuarlen]

Yeah, I was playing with others, and I did not make the game. So I'm thinking it must have been determined by the creator's costume. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif

I'm just glad they're not always grey anymore. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Fossil]

I personally don't ever remember finding different colored baby mags in mines from any of my characters. They were always grey(GC).

.. random colors on Plus? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif I don't .. hmm, I'll play sometime and check this out.

That's weird, my HUnl always found white mags, but about two weeks ago I found a green one.

[Zarbolord]

Haven't you noticed that you get different colours depending on the colour of the costume? And what if you choose a costume that hasn't got the colour bar... What happens you may ask? Well, my Fomar has a costume chosen from one of the gray slots in GC and I never got a mag of the same colour. I have green, blue, purple, red, yellow and can't remember the others, but not one is the same. So those who found different colours, did you take a colourless bar costume?

[Zalran]

so I guess no one really knows...

[Fanta]

I would assume so.
Why dont you carry on with your runs with a new costume and fine out?

I would if I could. My team has yet to save up enough points to buy the ability to change costumes.

Again, everyone, this question is in regards to Blue Burst. Anyone who has the ability to change costumes on Blue Burst, I would like a clear, concise answer to the question posed at the beginning of this thread. Surely someone who has played some version of Blue Burst must know the answer with a certain degree of certainty http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif

That has changed in BB. Costumes now give set colors. As in, all costumes give set colors of mags.

[Skorpius]

Random colors have been eliminated since the release of PSO+. Every mag found by my HUmar on both PSO+ and Blue Burst has been a black mag (he uses a black costume).

With PSO+ online, however, random mags seem to behave differently due to interaction with non PSO+ users.

Note that 'random mag' costumes only have set mag colors on Blue Burst, not PSO+.

My HUmar on BB has one of those grayed out costume colors too. I think one of the Mags i picked up was bluish while the one i started with is black. I'll look through my stash of like 5 different baby mags and post later on.

EDIT: All the baby mags are fuschia looking, I have a Rati and it's kinda between how the black one looks and the fuschia. I'm guessing on BB you can only get one color?

See, that's exactly what we're all wondering http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif

Like I said at the start of the thread, it would seem that your character is stuck with one set mag color; but the question is, does that mag color stick with your character even when said character gets a costume change (once the team buys that option with team points)? That's the whole point of the thread. Are we really stuck with one baby mag color or is there hope out there?

You'd think someone out there who knows the answer would have been kind enough to drop by -_-
