PSU-PS2: Is the Haxetta really a big deal?

[Kimil]

I hear 360 ppl and ps2/pc quitters continuously bitching about the hacking on PS2/PC servers... And how it's ruined the PSU expirience.

What the big deal?
-We now all have more Photon Arts because we can spare the money
-we can play around with classes like Protranser without worrying about the Trap Costs,
-We can Attempt to make high end-grinded weps because of disposible income
-Pure PM are quick to make now
-Room Decorations
-We all can have 10 scapes, little annoyances from deaths
-Bettter equipement because we can now all synth lots
-CLOTHES, we can get any clothes we want because we can afford it


There are no harmful hacks like PKing... The PM-bombing was a glitch not a hack so the 360 servers had it too. Illegal Weapons are actually being dealt with now too.

Too Much mesetta? Quit Your Bitching, things could be worse.... like being strapted for cash on the 360 Servers and having to do soooo many runs to get a 7* wep or clothes, or maybe a photon art

No.

It's impossible to trade via player shops now. A rare unit won't be worth any amount of meseta, so it has to be traded to be effective to a class that doesn't need it. That's one thing, at least...

I wouldn't say it was a big deal, myself, although it shouldn't have happened in the first place. In short, it unbalances the game for precisely the reasons you mentioned. Missions that are supposed to be difficult simply aren't anymore because of how much easier it is to acquire high-level equipment. Rarer items are supposed to be rarer.

Having unlimited access to everything an NPC sells is nice and all. But I would still prefer 360 servers. Due to all this hacked meseta, our player shops are pretty useless now during end game. Occasionally I find myself photon shopping (even though 90% of shops are locked), but other then that it's a complete waste of time.

Well, yes those are great reasons for the messetta problem being, just that, a problem.

Well, one question:
Y can't Sega just reduce ppl's messetta? They can clear all the s rank weapons... so a messetta wipe? like...

Character level = X
f(x) = .05x^3.5 + 250x

level / defaulted messeta
1 / 250
10 / 2650
20 / 6800
30 / 15000
40 / 30500
50 / 60000
60 / 100000
70 / 150000

As the cliche goes, the damage has been done: people have already bought high-level things with their money. That said, I suppose it couldn't hurt anyway, especially for items that are legitimately released following the wipe.

It's not a big deal, but it's messing up the endgame somewhat, but meh? I'm pretty sure a FT on the 360 or JP PC/PS2 servers would shit a brick if they saw my equipment. Seriously though, I'll post it up for comparison. I honestly want to know what kinda gear I'd be using if the economy wasn't borked.

3 Ageha-kikami
1 Mira-kikami
3 Ulteri
3 Majimra
2 Lidra
3 Granarod
1 Mayrod

And a couple of +5 Rayharods for buff/debuff. I notice newmam males have level 2 luck today, so I'll see how far I can grind them.

Of course, it depends on what you want. The hacked version is considerably easier than the other versions. For some thats good, for others thats bad. If you're the kinda guy that goes straight to gamefaqs for cheats after buying a game, I'd imagine you're in heaven.

Well, I don't mind it being easy, not at all.... I remember Questing and Questing for 2000 Messetta to make a Bow... just have it fail in th synth 3 times.

THough.... there is much less incentive to play... Until Rares are out to quest for, like drop-only (no synth board) Equipment. That would give reason to play eh?
