PSOBB: MAXIMUM ATTACK 4 on the way!

[Saffran]

http://psobb.jp/news/news119.html

To celebrate the 2 years anniversary (PSOBB started on the 8th of July 2004) there will be a new Max Attack quest.

This time, it will take place in ALL episodes at the same time, and it is planned over 6 weeks - but that must be confirmed and it's only a plan at this stage.

This time around, the goal of the maximum attack will be a conquest kind of thing. Which means the players will get a new mission each week that they will need to accomplish through that quest. It is also hinted that failing the quest will have a negative side effect to the overall goals this time around!
Depending on the kill counters, new routes will be opened in the quest and rare drops multiplied.

There will be yet again a new rappy roulette, with (among others) yet unreleased items as a prize.

I'm a sucker for this kind of news, and this just made my day...

USBB doesn't even have MA3 yet http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

This sounds pretty awesome though.

Maybe we'll get it on May/June 9th, 2007. =)

Heh, we don't even have DDwBP yet, let alone MA3 or 4 >_>
I'm jealous of you japanese players. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

This is sega's way of saying "sorry for making you wait so long for PSU. Here, see us cross episodes with a warp."

Wonder how they would manage that... new episode selection called "MA4"? >_>

BB is able to load all episode quests from any episodes, ST just chose not to do it for some reason :/

Maybe its a special quest where different parts of it get opened as players accomplish different goals?

Well that sounds really cool. Somtimes I wish I lived in Japan instead of U.S... Oh well all I really want to come to PSOBB US is A Dangerous Deal With Black Paper. I have to many Photon Crystals and I don't know what to do with them all.

(insert obligatory "life is unfair" comment here)

Oh well. USBB is used to watching JPBB have all the fun by now. 2007 = USBB's year? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Maybe but if the current "BB birthday" week that we are having now is any indication I doubt we will get anything as elaberate as a MA4, we MIGHT get lucky enough to have both "deal with black paper" quests put up for the next one. Even that kind of thing I wouldn't hold my breath for.

OK, bumping this one.
First,I'm posting from work right now so don't expect me to reply often (once a day at best).
Second, even though a lot of people play this quest I have to be the one to bump it, 8 effing days after it started... shame on all of you.

That said:
I had a grand total of 7 tries (ep1 twice, ep 2 twice, ep 4 three times) on Saturday and took a few pics. (http://rapidshare.de/files/25991801/MaxAtt4.rar.html) (and stop groaning, neither putfile nor youtube accept .rar datas)
The Fomar default NPC is in that quest. He's a weapon designer.
Many NPCs in the towns, so probably many secrets...
The Roulette quest is in Episode 2 this time. For now, 1 ticket for each try, but considering you get 12 tickets for clearing the quest with max kill and without deaths, there is bount to be something else going on.
Whoever dies more than the others (let's say you're the only one to die) gets less tickets, but I don't know the details.
Epi 1 route A has 602 kills. Route B will unlock today.
Epi 2 route A has 440 kills. Route B should feature the Towers (I saw the fence but couldn't teleport there)
Epi 4 route A has 383 kills.

For now, JP has 60 Millions kills (in 7 days, it's ok...) but the usual goodies will only last 1 week. That means that double drop rate and such will only last from one maintenance to the other.
The Redria "skateboard" is the Shield "Genpei". Stats will be (total kills/1.000.000) Def and (total kills/1.500.000) EVP, or was it the contrary... Color will change with the section ID.
The Ulala Handgun is the Milestome Prize.
The Liberta Unit will be awarded to top 100 hunters in all 3 eps (300 players). Just forget it, you won't make it into the top 100 killers.

I can only make maps when I get my PC back and my new appartement, ie sometimes next month. Which means: move it and do them yourselves already http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

back to work....
