http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis ... iew&id=730Seasonal event* Second Anniversary Lobby (08-21 ~ 09-04), Colony only?
* Fireworks Lobby (08-21 ~ 09-25), Neudaiz
Event missions* (
The Protectors γ) C~S2 (08-21 ~ 09-25). Mission counter: Colony's Clyez City F5.
"With the planets already aligned, this is our most important mission! Henceforth, we would like for you to join in on our current battle simulator specialized to prepare for real battle even better, in order to raise as many excellent GUARDIANS as possible!" - Hollupe Dens.
* (The Supervisor's Futatsu) (08-21 ~ 09-25). Mission counter: Colony's Clyez City F5.
"We have finally finished our new battle training simulator to prepare for battle with even stronger enemies! I definitely want those of you boasting top-class capabilities to try it!" - Hollupe Dens.
Exchange mission update*
New items have been added for exchange at (
The Arms Dealer). This means (
Twin Grip), (
Guld Milla), (
DB's Saber＋), (
Crea Doubles＋), (
Ank Kirik), (
Dallgun Rod), (
Twin Neiclaw＋), (
Neiclaw＋), (
Go Vahra Claw).
New items* Several new weapons, shield lines and the like have been added (AOTI).
*
De Ragan's Breath and
Fireworks have been added to the NPC shops (PSU & AOTI, 08-21 ~ 09-25).
System updates* The level cap has been raised to 160.
* Part of the monster drops for AOTI missions have been changed.
* Now, upon clearing a mission and reaching the next lobby, all party members that had been in the party for 80+% of the time will get a chance to get access to the rare free missions, and you will be able to see who did get it. With this change, the prior rule of increased odds for bigger parties is now obsolete. Also, when multiple people in the same party get it, the leader triggering the rare mission will not result in the other party member's right to trigger the mission later on as well.
Apparently players using the original PSU will get to join the raffle for the rare mission, but still won't be able to play the mission... huh.
If you already have the right to trigger a rare mission, clearing another mission won't get you a second one before using the first.
Also, still not all mission counters are compatible with the rare missions.
* When browsing through existing parties at a mission counter, joinable parties have now been put at the front of the list. Also, parties will be sorted based on the moment they were created, or the last moment when the amount of party members had been decreased by other means than a kick (i.e. if someone leaves a party or gets disconnected, it'll go to the top for someone new to fill the empty spot).
* For player shops, when editing the price of an item you've already put on sale, the new price will by default start at the old value, instead of from zero (i.e. you have to change less). When adding an item to your shop of the same sort as something you already had in your shop, the default new price will be as high as that of the most expensive item of that kind you already had on sale.
Edit: Whoops, forgot about the Second Anniversary Event... great.
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/2nd_anniversary/Mission-related:* Extra event mission, (
The Protectors δ), to be added early September.
* Event mission bonuses:
- High drop rate boost (same as that of GBR 'masters' (?))
- High EXP boost, combined with the new level cap of 160.
- Fight bosses after each other (what mission?), also with more boss boxes. It's like TTF in PSU. :o
- Bonus boxes in the two Protectors missions. The better you do at the missions (rank?), the more boxes at the end.
Website:*
GUARDIANS Report, a list of what's been most popular over the last year. So far most common are female Newmans, Hunters, L1 characters, GH410 and White Beast. More info to be shown in about a week.
* Thanks Campaign. People that played PSU but have yet to play AOTI get 'time codes', worth up to 48 playing hours. Time credit to be claimed
here, before 08-25 (?).
* Results drawing contest. Prizes are still trophies and getting the drawings up in the lobbies during during the last 1.5~2 weeks of the event (
click). Results will be shown
here during early September.
GM event:* GM event, the 'THANKS BOYS & GIRLS' (
now also including girls to be more PC), 08-21 ~ 09-25. They'll be in the lobbies and join random parties to play the events with regular players. If you finish a mission with them, you'll get a prize at the end of the event (one per account). The GMs use blue names, so can't miss 'em. List of the lot
here.
