[Multiplatform] Phantasy Star Universe

Though there is the eternal argument of "if you can use techs, heal me!"

Other than that, there really isn't too much of that issue here, occasionally a photon art would drive people crazy cause people spam it, and its either too powerful (New Splicer PA in JP was nerfed recently due to that) or sends enemies flying when people are trying to aim their techs (Tornado dance, don't spam it unless its a big monster or a boss).

And like in real life, there are scammers and jerks, but I have met plenty of good, honest, generous and nice people here on the PC/PS2 servers. Dunno about 360 though, some of them have that E peen attitude from the forum posts at PSO World, not counting the good people from GFF though.

Torrent is only at 55% and only going at 15 KB per sec. ARGH!

Also, there is an error in the PC version. Unlike the folks on AOI PS2, we cannot hear the new voices on PC. My fiance can make his character say stuff like "Can you handle this?!" on the PS2 version, but apparently not PC for other users online. I've contacted the people at Sega on the official site so they can patch it, and others should probably do something similar.

FELIPE NO

I used the abusive user form. That should get their attention.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Do it on Sega's site I believe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Crap, my bad, its through Xbox live.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Finally got the expansion!

New character looks!









De Rol Le!















Partying in my fiance's room, to the Rock Remix Save this World.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Warning! Scamming room decor!



PSO-World.com - Phantasy Star Universe Items > Photon Gacha

Acts like a traditional capsule machine. The owner can stock the machine with items and set a playing cost.

Seems like due to the fact that Japanese take up less room then Eng letters, the translation text was screwed up and you CANNOT see what the player has set for the playing cost. Meaning you potentially lose your millions if you decide to play the machine in someone else's room. Scammers push people into playing this "new cool interactive" decor and scam players out of MILLIONS.

Untill Sega fixes it, stay away!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yes the text glitch also affects 360, in fact, the 360 players were scammed first and were the ones who initially reported.

Sega has actually updated their site warning others NOT to touch it or put in their room untill the error is fixed, and to report any scammers.

Phantasy Star Portable announced!

And yet another PSP acronym.

Spoiler for large image.

Spoiler:

PSO-World.com Forums - Phantasy Star Portable announced!

Quote:

Phantasy Star Portable (PSP/Sega/2008)
* They're self-impressed with it abbreviating to PSP.
* Based on PSU and its expansion, with added missions and story.
* Multi-mode, with up to 4 player coop.
* Development by Alpha System.

All new story mode. Create your own character and you'll partner up with all-new CAST-chicky with the rabbit ears, otherwise known as Vivienne. The text is difficult to read from the photo, but it looks like Helga is behind various terrorist attacks across Gurhal. You'll be going after her to find out what she's up to.

It's 4 player ADHOC.
Vivianne will be voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi
Helga will be voiced by Rie Tanaka. (Who also voices Karen)

HACKER ON THE LOOSE!

Razor (20042099) was seen hacking the game, running around in mid air and porclaiming that he has hacked and stolen from many rooms.







LOCK YOUR ROOMS TILL THIS IS OVER!

As of now, Sega either hasn't ban him or he managed to find a way to bypass that.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Which I'm sure its what most people do anyways. Keep the valuables in the Main's room along with the PM you treasure most, and keep the low lvl PM and other crap, and the shop, on an alt.

I'm too invested in my characters to restart.... So guess just have to be real careful. Locking room also means they can't tell whats in my shop since locked shops are filtered out in Condition search. Unless he happens to see my name and ID and decides to check it out anyway... But there's so many players that I doubt it will happen. And I dont have any real valuables on sale anyway.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It sucks that the PC/PS2 servers are always in danger of being hacked. But even if I did go on the 360 servers it wouldn't be a happy happ joy joy thing either. Alot of morons play the 360 servers and probably would attempt to make lewd comments at me through voice chat just cause I'm a girl. Not to mention the Red Ring fear and Xbox LIVE occasionally needing their own seperate maintanence....

I think both servers have their ups and downs, it all depends on which suits who. I applaud to people who have the guts to leave behind their characters on the PC/PS2 to move on to a more hacker free zone, but alas, I cannot do the same...

Also, SEGA actually dealt with the goddamn issue and actually made a NEWS POST regarding this hacker ordeal!

Hell has frozen over, and I think I like it.

I still want the JP developers to fix the holes though... What kind of roulette determines the Bet results before the wheel is spun? I heard that's how it worked, hence why the hacker can cheat in gambling. Not to mention other holes I heard regarding previous hacks...

But at least the GMs are doing what they're paid for. Its not perfect, but a MAJOR improvment than last year.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Don't forget that Xbox LIVE went down for 2 weeks, and its said to be the result of hackers.

So really, no one is truly safe. With the right equipment and skills, hacking the 360 servers shouldn't be impossible either, just not as common. Honestly though, the only reason the US PC/PS2 servers suffer so much its cause people use hacking to brag, not just greed. The Japanese know how to hack as well, but they at least keep it to themselves as oppose to screwing around with others. I don't care if someone dupes as long as he's not touching my shit.

Hacking will always exist, its the arrogant people that really causes the problems.

Additional content updates for 1/11 and more details for the event schedule will be announced next week.

PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE

Most amazing jew boots

Well, thats the way things are... Since most game companies are so xenophobe. But at least now they are taking measures against it and telling people on their much improved website.

Moving on. Drop lost for the event missions are on these links.

Guardians' Road α - The PSUPedia

Guardians' Road ß - The PSUPedia

FELIPE NO

Winter Event Mission Disks Locations

PARUM ROUTE

Note:AT LEAST 3 people are needed for all 10.

Block A

Run into the room with the enemies, kill them all.

Disc #1:

Go to the center of the room, look up and shoot the button.

Disc #2:

Break the boxes on the right hand side to reveal the Disc.

Choose the route facing East on the map, for the Ragan/Ragnus route.

Block B

When you get to the gate where all party members must be present, and you may or may not get an NPC, have one person go right, and the others go left.

Disc #3:

For the people who took the left fork; goggle the tree to the left of the cave, and break it down to reveal the disc.

Disc #4:

For the person who took the right fork; have the other members tell you what creatures spawned on the left, and then kill ONLY the monster they say. When you have completed the task, a disc will appear at the entrance to the tunnel.

Note: if the enemies are buffed (I.E Sword, shield, crown icons), they will need to state that too.

Block C

Disc #5 & #6:

Continue into the relics room, and take out all enemies. There are a few piles of rubble in the room; 2 of which contain discs. Goggle them, and break them to reveal discs number 5 and 6.

Block D

Disc #7:

You may recognise this area from Crimson Beast. Take out the Golmoro that spawn directly in front of you, and then head straight for the 3-person -switch door. Run in, break the boxes to reveal disc number 7, and then take out the Golmoro.

Disc #8:

From the door you just opened, head as far north as you can, and scout the wall until you find a big boulder, with a tree to its left. Goggle the tree, break it down. Head over to the tree in the middle of the newly discovered area, shoot down the coconutty-type-thing, walk up to the tree and the 8th disc should appear.

De Ragan room

Disc #9:

Disc 9 is in the De Ragan. There are two box containers in the room. I believe the disc is located in the North-western most container.

Notes: I do not know whether the container disc is random, and has just appeared in the North-western container every time as a coincidence, or whether it is a definate.

You MUST get the disc BEFORE you kill the boss, else it will be unobtainable.

De Ragnus room

Disc 10:

The final disc is located within the center of the room. On the floor is a large circular patter. Go to the center of that to find your disc.

Note: Same as with the De Ragan; you MUST get the disc before you kill him.

The disc doesnt appear straight away, for reasons that I do not know. Hit him a few times and keep checking back to the spot. It will appear eventually before you kill him.

__________________________________________________ ____________________

Moatoob/Neudaiz Route

Note: If you want to, you can solo this route.

Block A

Run into the room with the enemies, kill them all.

Disc #1:

Go to the center of the room, look up and shoot the button.

Disc #2:

Break the boxes on the right hand side to reveal the Disc.

Choose the North route, towards Adahna Degahna and Dimmagolus.

Block B

Disc #3:

Go to the right and continue along past the first gate, taking out enemies as you go, and fork to the left. Take out all enemies, and grab key #1. Go back and use the key to get through the locked gate, and continue further down, taking note of the key inside the laser fence on your left. Take out all enemies, and locate a single tree standing on its own. Goggle it, break it, and grab the disc.

Disc #4:

Grab the key #2 from the laser fence now unlocked, and head back to the place where there was a locked gate still. Kill all the enemies past the gate, break the boxes and grab the disc.

Block C

Disc #5:

This is a small area and the enemies are powerful, so take them all out first.

Slightly North of the entrance is a pile of rubble. Goggle it, break it, grab disc.

Disc #6:

Return to the entrance and head East on the map. You will see two pillar things stannding there. Goggle the one on the right, break it, grab disc.

Block D

Disc #7:

This is a very large area, with many enemies. You could become disorientated, so take the enemies out first, and then return to the entrance.

From the entrance, head North to find a narrow path, and head up it to find some boxes by a tree. Break the boxes, grab the disc.

Disc # 8:

Continue following the narrow path around, to lead you back out on to the large plain, and head toward the exit. There will be a tree near the door. Goggle it, break it, grab the disc.

Adahna Degahna room:

From the starting point, head immediately South-East to the far corner and locate a box. Break it, and you automatically receive the disc.

Note: As always, you should get the disc before you kill it.

Dimmagolus room:

There's not much I can tell you for this, as the chip doesnt appear right away. Just run to the middle of the arena, and wait for it to appear lol. You dont even need to hit him.. It appears after about 20 seconds.

PSO-World.com Forums - Japan servers 1/17 Update

God, I hope the US get the system updates soon. Alot of people I know need synth items only found on version 1 missions. (Like Carriguine blades.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

FINALLY we're back.

New stuff for PSU has allowed me to finally get a Deva Zashi. The Forest of Illusion rare mission can you net you alot of good stuff. Just keep playing a moatoob mission and it will randomly appear in a mission counter.

Also GMs have stated that an annoucment regarding the Max G event, the one with all those PSO goodies, will be announced at the end of Feb.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow I do agree that Sega should do better with their hacks, like try fixing the code itself, its true that hacking exists everywhere and it takes longer for a group of people to locate them in a game where there could be millions playing at the same time.

Though part of me also wants a different development team to take over Sonic Team, since they do screw up alot, and interviews in the US Sega shows that Sega US has little to no control over the actual localisation. In other words, the decision to make Sonic voice by 4kids bastards? It was Sega/Sonic team JAPAN. ST hasn't done anything decent recently that lets them deserve more projects, and Sega US needs more power.

But enough about the usual complaints, back to the game. It has been treating me well since I do play more casually, and the upcoming PA lvling adjusetments that Japan just got will be even better. Now I can actually level my spells, PA and Bullets without resorting to playing every spare time I can get. The upcoming MAXG and Dengeki events also look fun, so this game, despite all its hiccups, its stil fun for me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Heads up people, the JP servers are getting the MASTER CLASSES and we have tentative info on their requirements and restrictions thanks to Dengeki.

PSO-World.com Forums - JP PC/PS2 update for March 27 (New types!)

Alright, guys. The news we've all been waiting for is here, courtesy of Shougai PSO and the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation. The site makes it a point to say that this info is still tentative, but we'll find out everything for sure tomorrow when Japan gets this update. Anyway, here goes.

Fighmaster

Special abilities
Exhibit faster attack motions.
PP efficiency suffers (Not really sure about this one, but... that's what it says.)

Requirements
Fighgunner LV10, Fortefighter LV10 (The site lists the second requirement as Fortegunner, but I'm pretty sure that's a mistake, especially when Fighmasters can't even touch ranged weapons of any type.)

Photon art caps
Skills: LV50
Bullets: x
Attack TECHNICs: x
Support TECHNICs: x

Equipment
Weapons: S-rank only
Line shields: S-rank only
Units: C-S rank

Weapon restrictions
Swords, spears, double sabers, axes

Gunmaster

Special abilities
Exhibit faster ranged attack motions, such as rapid-fire rifle shots.
PP efficiency suffers

Requirements
Guntecher LV10, Fortegunner LV10

Photon art caps
Skills: x
Bullets: LV50
Attack TECHNICs: x
Support TECHNICs: x

Equipment
Weapons: S-rank only
Line shields: S-rank only
Units: C-S rank

Weapon restrictions
Rifles, shotguns, laser cannons, twin handguns

Masterforce

Special abilities
Exhibit faster TECHNIC casting motions.
PP efficiency suffers

Requirements
Wartecher LV10, Fortetecher LV10

Photon art caps
Skills: x
Bullets: x
Attack TECHNICs: LV50
Support TECHNICs: LV10

Equipment
Weapons: S-rank only
Line shields: S-rank only
Units: C-S rank

Weapon restrictions
Rods, wands, TCSMs

At least now we know why some S ranks are so easy to get now, so we can gear up for THIS. Armors is still a problem for me though, I don't have an S rank armor for my melee girl, Stormline and Al Senbas are restricted to other classes.

From the looks of it,there HAS to be a acromaster. Single blade weapons are missing. Looks like no one gets the bow or grenade launcher though, unless there will be a protranser master.

Personally though, I don't get why Grenade Launchers are missing from Gunmaster. Twin handguns feels more like a Acromaster thing to me, since, you're still hold a gun in each hand, where as Grenades is ONE weapon that needs BOTH your hands, which to me screams "Only hardcore gunners can use lolz." Twin handguns, as we have seen from Dante in DMC, is a good weapon for the fast and acrobatic fighters, hence Acromaster.

The official site also warns that there are some missions that you cannot solo and get an S ranking, since TWO of these classes are missing ranged weapons. So soloers, stick to your old classes for soloing.

Remember that this is all tentative, and no doubt it will be rebalanced in the JP version, since they ARE the testing servers.

And to people wondering why I wasn't on PSU or PSO private servers latly, its cause I've download too much this month and can't play untill April 1st.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

MAX G (PSO) Event starts on April 25th!

So DarkmageOzzie, don't quit till AFTER that's over or something. :P

PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE

The Maximum Attack event from Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst is back and will be coming to the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PC, and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system servers on April 25! In order to participate in this event, you must have the Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus expansion.

Data uncovered on the mystery planet Rykros is encrypted within a battle simulation of unknown origin. The GUARDIANS have been tasked to enter the virtual world contained in this ancient artifact to combat swarms of creatures and unlock the data. The forest, caves, and mine stages from PSO are back, and you might just run into some familiar heroes.

We will be keeping track of the total number of creatures each GUARDIAN helps defeat, and limited prizes can be acquired through luck, speed, or perseverance. Everyone will have to work together to reach the 100 million creature goal, and other rewards for all participating players will be unlocked throughout the event.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, for three weeks according to mods. :P

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well the event mission gets boring after 20+ runs, but its got great EXP and MP, plus gold badges for PSO weapons and other goodies. Still, 1 UP missions were the most fun event mission wise.

Dengeki should be alot more fun when we get it though. Despite that, I say use the free 3 weeks and have some fun.
