Maximum Attack: G

The official PSU website has updated with this -
http://www.phantasys....php?item=nid42
Quick question - What time is PDT in GMT? I don't wanna miss the opening for this.
It would also be cool if all other members of the Harlequin Syndicate (since it's looking like it's going to be our name afterall) would be available for the opening of this event but if you have work/school/college/etc then of course it is understandable.
I strongly advise anybody who has not got the game yet to get it before this event kicks of as you do NOT want to miss it. For those who don't know, this event opens up all the original PSO episode 1 areas (omgomgomg) and you can get some seriously cool rare items and stuff. It's gonna be really fun and it will also be a great way for you new recruits to level up.
Maximum Attack: G
15 Days and counting

You'll make 50 easy bro. Like lvl 48 already. catching me too lol.

Are the ememies going to be the same? I wants me some Baranz actshunnn. There's nothing SCARIER in the whole PSO experience than THAT room in the mines, in the DARK, with 2 of those buggers making THAT noise and firing scary silent misiles at you while you flail around franticly being headbutted by robots.
Other than enemies already redesigned for the game in general (Rappys, Boomas, Grass Assassins), I think the event is just going to use placeholders, like Bil de Vears instead of Hildebears. Still, I could have sworn I saw a video of the Japanese MAG event and I distinctly recall them fighting an enemy that looked identical to a Delsaber, so who knows what's in store.
Also, dont forget MAG is also going to have that Program DF mission where we can finally fight Dark Falz. Here's crossing my fingers that he isn't just a Dulk Falkis re-skin. I want a new boss like De Rol Le.
By the way, from my experience, server maintenance is usually done by around 3:00 am central time in the states (where I live). If I'm not mistaken, the UK's time is about six hours ahead of that, so MAG may be available about 9:00 am or so. The quote me on that though. I'm pretty unsure of that figure so it's probably wrong.

Hellz yeh! MegaDrive, Saturn and Dreamcast for plzzzz!! Plus, i need to get me some new garments. I wanna look funky fresh when i start reaching those higher levels.I've got to get me those Sega systems for my room.
Starbucks hunts everyone down. Even if you don't work for themAlmost tempted to take day off work... but they would prob hunt me down and kick the door in Let's hope that doesn't happen and I'm off anyway

Yeah, level 49 now. The recent run boosted my exp a lot so i'm getting there slowly.
As for MA:G being ready for us. Lol, they ain't ever gonna be ready for us! >:]
I thought you hated the Baranz? XD I think they're the coolest enemies in PSO. The fact that their missiles are silent is very creepy but the satisfaction you'd get from taking one of those big mofo's down and seeing it's shell break into pieces always made it feel like a David and Goliath experience. Especially if you were a bloody hunter like me and you're reduced to nothing but melee attacks while your Force character sat at the back spamming Foie from a considerable distance away.Are the ememies going to be the same?

Like this guy?

He's a rare monster that only shows up in Electronic Brain. I fought him once. Very Delsaber-ish.

In terms of MA:G i folded and went to YouTube to see if anybody had recorded anything from the Japanese event a few months ago. All i will say is i'm slightly annoyed but i'm still looking forward to the event itself.

I'm very looking forward to this event. Between the hassle of my laptop and general drifting on and off PSU, and the monotony suffered on the GBR, I'm looking forward to this event.
The main difference between this and the GBR which will keep it more interesting, so as not to get fed up redoing the same stuff all the time lies within two things:
The rewards; Instead of just a boost of what you can find on the field, theres any rares you can nab plus the shields to be used in the lucky dip thing or traded for specific items, a fair few of which have PSO basis. So you have an actual goal of how many shields or badges you can collect to get the items you want.
The leaderboards; The leaderboards are almost entirely confirmed and give people an ever rising goal to be reached, something I personally haven't been part of since the AOL cup back in the PSO:BB beta...where I might like to add that the small faction of 5 people which me and Lavia(only really Dez and Ki'll know who that is) were part of at the time gained 16th position.
Been concocting strategies for a fair while now...if you want any slight suggestions, I can try to help.

Who could possibly forget the hacks? Shame the sword sucked.

remember that sword that olga flow uses? (assuming you've played PSO ep. 2) That's Dark Flow, I've never seen a player use it in action though for obvious reasonsWas that that HUUUUUGE one that was stupidly enormous? DeZ watched some youtube video a while ago of someone weilding a hacked weapon from PSO and it was so massive it glitched through scenary when swung because it was so big. XD
#22
Posted 17 April 2008 - 09:38 AM
I think that's the sword i've seen then. It's MASSIVE!!

Okay folks, here is the Dark Flow:
Seriously, its only redeeming quality is it looks cool. It was slow, couldn't combo, had a crappy special attack, and had a power stat only marginally higher than the awesome and vastly superior Tsumikiri J-Sword. Also, Olga Flow was indeed a sweet boss. I loved in the beginning how you're falling down that shaft and he's fighting you while flying upside down. Awesome. Gal Gryphon had the best music though.

Holy Crap, I'm not the only one who played CARD Revolution!
I'm afraid you underestimate just how much of a PSO fanatic I was. XD
I STILL play Ep 3 every so often...in fact just 5 days ago I played it round Avenrir's house. XD
Never got on line with it, and still stomached my way up to C. Lv. 73...
#26
Posted 17 April 2008 - 08:48 PM
Yay! Not a problem anymore! XD
#27
Posted 18 April 2008 - 05:54 AM
But since I already had my own version of each of all those items, I never did use any of the copies...there wasn't much need XD
Just like to remind people at this point we're officially entering the countdown of the last week before MA:G. Anyone have any goals to achieve from MA:G besides obtaining the SEGA consoles?
#28

I never did beat Ep. 3 :/ btw anyone ever play Phantasy Star back in the good old days?I'm afraid you underestimate just how much of a PSO fanatic I was. XD

argh, that sword is a nightmare for me! I actually tried to find it in offline mode! (you get em from that giant bug guy in the beach area of ep. 2) lets see... what was the drop ration again? ahh yes... 1/12604 on the gamecube version in ultimate mode for one section ID!!!and had a power stat only marginally higher than the awesome and vastly superior Tsumikiri J-Sword.
hunters should be equipped with bug spray...

Get FOmar costume in homage to some of Lynne's characters from her Engelbaum comic. Might get altering colours too.
Get Sega consoles, obviously.
Try and get some bloody rarez for a change. I hardly get anything in terms of rare items and weapons and all i ever hear is DeZ in the other room bragging about how he's just spent 2mil Messeta on a Kan Yu sword. I want rarez too T_T
Get money. I need lots of money.
Level up, obviously.
Other than that, i don't know what else this event is gonna bring us. ;
Ok, I got my mitts on PSU:Aoti and a PS2 slim (I couldn't find the adapter for my old PS2) now I just need ta set myself up for online play...
Good good . Try and get set up asap and level your character a bit before the event so you won't spend a majority of the time kissing the floor when/if KO'ed. XD

That reminds of something on one of my colours that had a drop rate of 1/>132000....I nearly had a heart attack one day when it dropped a glorious red photon drop. XD
Look forward to seeing you online. ^^

Sounds like a good set of goals...FOmar costume and consoles should be simple enough...and levelling should be fairly quick...you already qualify to enter A rank, you might like to know...and if we can get you upto 80, you'd be in S ^^
You should get a few good rares from the event...Couldn't really give a list...but there'll definitely be some you can get your mits on...especially the rewards ^^
Money....will not be too much of a problem, I think. Even if you don't get megamoney from the event, you'll get more than enough to keep you going, maybe buy in some small rares- and then the egg thieves can provide monetary wishes afterwards, if more is required. XD
The main reason you don't have much in the way of rares is because they pretty much don't exist until the S ranks >.> unfortunately it doesn't quite work as it did in PSO...where some lucky munchkins could get booma arms in normal mode. (well you can get booma claws in C rank, but they're much less useful XD)
In any case its a much better list than mine, which currently consist of:
Moan lots about Smyte's suit not being there.
Get as many of the rewards/consoles as possible.
Try to get a good spot on the board.
hmmm, I see some sleepless nights ahead in the near future. Not that I'd ever deprive myself intentionally of sleep for a game >> certainly not...I'll just be, eh, too excited too sleep, yeah....that.

The way the game works is if you land one hit on an enemy and leave someone else to kill you'll gain roughly 70% of the usual experience points given out from that enemy after it's been defeated however if you do solo running then you'll gain all 100% experience points for yourself and you'll level up much quicker. Once you're able to get into B rank and A rank missions then you're levels will start flying by for a while.
Does anyone know if this event is going to boost exp % like how the forrest does? If so then Leonhart can do some solo runs during the event and nab himself a few levels in a quicker period of time.
Either way, Leonhart, you shouldn't have too many problems.

I also recommend that in you're just starting out. Stick with the AoI exclusive missions for a while since they give a lot more class points than other missions. That way you can get into an expert class more quickly. Speaking of which Leonhart, which expert class are you aiming for?

K, sounds like you wan'tt o be a techer of some sort. Have you decided on a race? What other weapons would you like to use? How do you think you'd like to play? I'm just trying to help you get aimed in the right direction when you start.

Well, if you want to use that weapon than really your only option is Fortetecher. They're the only class that can use rods. It's a good pairing though. Newmans make great techers.
