Anyone had that problem?

It will do that if someone in your party is about to DC. Otherwise, I guess it's a server problem.

I have a similar problem but it's with all loading zones - it will sit at the zone screen for about 40 seconds. I'm always the last person in a zone and out of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I will do ALL missions EXCEPT the Underwater plant/temporary lab. Screw Super Rabarta X and Megid. I'll save my scape dolls for a mission that is worth it. I went 56-0(56 levels without dying/over 2 characters) and that came to an end when I died twice in there. I'm never going back. The slowness with content releases don't bother me as much as the others cause I'm still benefitting from the current missions. However, it's a pain in the ass to get a group for Neudaiz relics, my new favorite mission to spam to death.

Wow, if you're running with a fast pt, they'll diminish a good chunk of a zone in that time.

Sadly yes, but I deal because the boss xp and S rank reward makes up for it.

SailorDaravon - Is your character named "Daravon"? Cast all black, lvl 50 ranger?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shotgun Mania

We partied yesterday in Agata Relics. I was the human hunter with the cool hat throwing my spears around.

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

It's Elathia. An alt of mine turn main(my main was 44).

Not one to debate with people but you were saying that the JP version does not have S-rank missions and that they are a long way off. It was at the point that I decided to shut my mouth.

Then again this is the only PSU topic I can find on the net that doesn't contain the irritating 'not enough content' drama. So I'll just leave it at that.

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

Ok well I feel like an idiot for not reading properly.

And Hotobu, I don't know about other hunters and forces, but I can always tell when there is a ranger in my party. You guys are not about damage, you're all about DOTing and status killing. Trust me things are S L O W without atleast 1 ranger. The impact is huge~~.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If A rank spears are TENORA works only like it appears to be in Parns post..I'm not using spears then. I don't like tenora brand weapons. They run out of PP way too fast..

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well lets think about this for a second...90% of the people who want to go figunner are doing so just for the ability to use the doublesaber. Having seen that thing in action, releasing it with the same power = no one else get's xp, forces wasting PP on MISSED techs cause mobs flying all over the world. Yea it makes sense to me.

FELIPE NO

WOW I have 2 40+ characters and I don't know shit and I read psupedia like nuts >_>. I forgot all about the PP regen and usage bonuses. Thing is though I wont have race bonuses cause I'm human and not going Figunner, Guntecher, Wartecher or Protranser.

How ya doing, buddy?

Got me there.

I guess it'll be good for as a farm weapon :/.

How ya doing, buddy?

Partisan of Lightening, and the twin weapon that drops in Whitil(Sec.ID) Ruins, Starts with an "M" ~ Meteor Cudgel? I used them all and the most useful was the Double Cannon(Twin lavis). Yes everyone and there mama had one and abused that fact the weapon category was unrivaled and unmatched and overpowered. You don't need no other weapon. Just double saber your butt through the areas.

I would like to bring the point up that the standard PSU fugly doublesaber that Lou uses is not the last of it. The True Crea Double is supposed to be superior and it looks exactly like the Twin Brand.

I am a bit confused by the "roles" of Wartecher and Protranser. Ok so which can be considered the "RDM" of PSU? I even thought about ditching my human char and going back to the my newman and throw out the idea of being a fortefighter and just settle for Wartecher(cause newmans get state bonus in it). But..errr 20PA, 10PA bullests, 20lvl techs. And Protranser is, ok forgive me, the class is fucked up. 8 thousand mission points away from feeling useful to a party. (Like RDM isn't jackall until 41 in FFXI~ sorry for throwing such a poor example in).

I have never seen a trap being used.

My bad lol. I didn't play that far into BB to know about those weapons.

The best I will get with my striking PM is 90. Bad planning in the beginning. About the double cannon and BKB, don't know why, I missed a lot more with the BKB than double cannon. Yea its more powerful than double cannon.

Meh I been at PSOW long enough to know my topic is gonna go into dinosaur mode. SOO..I'll just say it here.

Since I always like LL, LL S doesn't really scare me. Will give me a chance to test out the power of my 44% light Dual Slashers. Gonna have to upgrade to a light halbenata for my spears though. Forces and Rangers from what I've read seem to be adamant on partying there, which is a good thing.(that's going to be funny if I'm the only hunter brave enough to go there).

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

I'll hit 45 probably today. 10 full scapes ready lol.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sure do and both are lvl45 now. My other is just a shop owner ;p. Megid might not be lily-bad, but it'd be interesting to see how fast they move. The enemies that is.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've seen that and naturally I overeacted and thought "oh yea I'm going to die ALOT". But the difficulty only looks extreme because it's one guy soloing it.

As for the update being 2 says away.. I think I wont buy the any of the new clothes(some will be over 50,000). I see all these players with the Phanis set(20,000) and then I want it. But then I think about it more and you know what? That 20-30k could have been used to buy me a better weapon ~_~. That said I'm pretty happy with my 1k crap.

FELIPE NO

Plenty of 5* weapons for 4-6k

Definitly checking this out. (hopefully I'm not too late)

Yea I was too late.

Daravon your shop is like half wiped XD.

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

Ok so I spent 61,000 on my new outfit. I lied, sue me! Samurai for the win! I still got 190,000 to blow though. And unfortunatly it's not gonna be on A rank weapons(but armor heh) well I don't know yet actually >_>;;. I really would like to have them with elements.

Just your processor. Play the game under 800x600 in windowed mode and lower some settings and you should be fine. I have 1.04GB DDR RAM, same card as yours.

Don't have stuff like AIM/Yahoo/MSN whatever you use running. I don't even have my wallpaper up when I play this game but you don't have to do that . If the lag persists, then turn off post effects. That will solve it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I busted my chops and amassed 250,000. I had to enough to go on a 5 star weapon buying spree. No one seems to make spears and I don't know why - the weapon is incredibly strong; Or maybe it's just selling way too fast for me to get any lol. Great Swords, Spears and Daggers are about all I use. I saw 2 Crea Sabers up for 50,000. If the %'s(14% and 12%) were just a little higher I would have bought them. I'm halfway to 50, which isn't bad considering I didn't play yesterday with 59,000tnl, and it only took 2 hours to get halfway today.

Can't wait for the update. I hope Overlord S is one of the 4. I have been unable to get in LL S games. Locked or full, etc.

Now for a question regaurding my computer. It's a 1.87 GHz Athlon XP-M, 768 MB of PC2700 DDR, GeForce FX5500 as mentioned before. Winter Storm commented that a CPU upgrade would probably make the most difference here, but my question relates to what you guys are using?

Debating if I want to try hunting around for a Socket A CPU, which seem to be getting very rare, or splurge and upgrade to a 939 64-bit machine. Apologies for asking that here, but just trying to get the most performance I can. :P

Whoa there man(me and my big mouth). If you're running with atleast DECENT performance do not worry about it too much.

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

Meh. The mission points will come. That's the best way to approach this awefully slow class leveling situation. Besides you can get close to that in DoT A or VoC. One of those have it over 20MP.

Everytime I log on theres nothing to do but hack & slash your way through the same repetative levels. Maybe its because I only played Force that the game felt so boring.. Is Sega actually updating stuff like they promised?

I loved the original PSO games for Dreamcast, played them for days on end but PSU just doesn't have that kind of impact. :/

PSU is no different than WoW and WoW has way more players. PSU as far as hacking and slashing is concerned is no different than FFXI(which has the absolute WORST online community in history).

I've been through this far too much with players at PSOW(but I can be nice about it here because everyone here is'nt a walking asshole). Ok you don't like the game, you stopped playing it. What's wrong now??? People bash the game so bad but to me they must still show some interest in playing it. And the negativity is'nt going to make others quit the game.

What motivates me to play the game is absolute freedom. I spent 5 years in PSO total, and 3 on PSOGC. In that time I've had every nasty thing happen to me aside from ck, vk(vmu kill), and FSOD-X. When all of my friends quit the game over cheating, I was alone, surrounded by all these rude players. Eventually, not even getting lvl200 myself, I stopped playing PSO all together. PSO was fun, but always playing in fear of being NOL'ed, FSOD'ED? Hiding in locked games?? That killed the fun!

PSU freed a lot of people from those fears. Other than shop fucking up that's been going around, people can join games without worry. People can chat in lobbies again without worrying about some assbackwards fool resetting the the lobbies! If that isn't enough motivation then I don't know what is.

*went in his room to do the same thing yesterday and got overcome with shyness and hauled ass >_>;;;;;;;;;*

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If it bills you 10 times, you will get the money back.

I worry about Messenka(my PM) more than I worry about my decors since she is on my other character.

Locking your shop is ineffective.

My advice: Be real and don't bandwagon jump.

FELIPE NO

To clarify on the second method
They use a CE to bypass gameguard and edit the memory from there giving them the ability to claim ownership of the room they are in, and other things like meseta/item duping. They can't kick you out of your room for obvious reasons but they can do everything that you can do, except for room locking. They are being nice about it since they can empty out your common box and PM storage. They also have the ability to get your card without even having your card given to them. Much like the card hack in PSOGC(I was hit with this).

The only site that has a CE that was not patched because it is kept secret is owned by TMG. They are the real masterminds behind everything that has gone wrong since PSODC. Broomop and soulja were just wannabes. And let me just point out that the one doing this room hacking is the Admin of TMG himself and no one else.

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

I've not read about them being able to manipulate shops. If they can, I don't think they(TMG) will. There main focus appears to be meseta distributing(they sell meseta online) and PM bombing/room decor stealing.

You know this thread was such a nice change of pace from the bullshit whining over at PSOW.
