The GAS options are currently listed with placeholder translations, but will be updated with the official ones later. Remember that the New Year Special Week, Valentine's Day Lobbies, and the initial event rewards all end with this maintenance. Any additional details will be posted following maintenance.

Update: New items introduced with February 17's update were not searchable by name in player shops. This has been resolved in this maintenance. Additionally, Bgei-senba has been renamed to Bugei-senba and it now has a description. Missing descriptions have also been added for Suikongoh, Tefukirizao, and Wise Plunderer (introduced January 27).

A maintenance occurred last night on the Xbox 360 servers. As noted in English and Japanese, a recent issue has been corrected. Protectors ?' had reduced AMP payouts for characters that were above first stage in GAM. This has been changed to be consistent across all stages.

As listed on the English and Japanese homepages, there was quite an update for PSU on Xbox 360 this week!

• Initial event rewards: Congratulations to all participants of GUARDIANS Chronicle for obtaining all milestone rewards! The following is a list of the first set that was posted. These will be available until the listed dates.
• Half-priced clothes and parts (March

• PA EXP boost (March
• 15% initial boost for the new GBR (March 29)

• Neudaiz Drop Boost 4th: This GBR will be running through March 29 and contains the following new and upgraded missions.
• Cost of Research: C-S2 was upgraded from PSU to AOTI standards. S3 difficulty was added. Additionally, it has been changed from a co-op mission into a free mission.
• Ecosystem Crisis: This new mission can be found in the Kego Clearing heading towards Agata Islands. It features C-S3 difficulties.

• Casino Voloyal: There was a standard rotation of items here.

A bug has been confirmed from the last update. Protectors ?' has reduced AMP payouts when a player is ranked above first stage. They should be consistent no matter the stage. This will be fixed in a future maintenance. Players have also noticed with the current update that many/all of the new drops are not searchable by name in player shops. However, they can be found by inputting various properties of the items. This will also likely be fixed in a future maintenance.

As noted by GM Edward, there will be a maintenance period this week for Xbox 360 players. After an extended period of universal connection issues and repeated attempts by Sega as well as Microsoft to clear them, the game is currently in a much better state. However, there will be additional work done on the server setup to help alleviate remaining issues as well as potential future ones.

No content updates are scheduled to accompany these changes. Compensation is planned, but will be detailed at a later date.
