You can get his card after one of the online story missions - and he's a very good NPC. Arguably the best NPC out there.

Terria · March 9, 2008

Ah, so he's remotely useful rather than completely useless like most of them?

strawdonkey · March 9, 2008

Er, I wouldn't go that far! He just does bigger numbers, comparable to players rather than Laia Martinez doing 50 with an axe.

AI is still shit though.

Terria · March 9, 2008

Is the colony tour on for about 6 then? I'll try and remember to peel myself away from God Of War on the PSP and join you then.

Tylor is rather good - The main good points about him:

- His stats are seemingly higher than the usual NPC (He's classed as Fortefighter 1, compared to Leo and Tonnio's Hunter 1. He's also based 5 levels above the host player, I think Leo and/or Tonnio are only 3 levels or so above him)

- Better equipment (main used weapon is a Blackheart, possibly Ice Armour?)

- He actually uses both parts of his photon arts, something that even PMs can't do properly (I'm looking at you, Admiral).

- He doesn't speak complete shit. Sometimes, he actually doesn't speak!

- He has the Invincibility Badge. In other words, you don't have the usual Beast NPC problem where they nanoblast and die two seconds afterwards.

Tylor is basically the best Melee NPC yet, at least until you get Ethan's card. I now have a lovely setup by using Richard as a Fortefighter, Tylor, and a GH452. Some good times to be had, including the 452 using Shifta and then watching several Golmoros fly across the room in a flurry of Rising Strike and Dus Majarra.

For a short period, our prayers may have been answered.

A difficult mission!

Her Secret Mission S is coming on Friday. I will be around to give it a shot Friday evening / Sunday day

Siri · March 11, 2008

Eh? All that's on PSO-World's front page is Bruce's Sexy Dungeon S. However, that's alright. That's ok. Because that means that YOU'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING RUN IT FOR GUDDA IGGAC BOARDS. And give them to me. all of them. Obviously. Hopefully, They will add the character balances as well in a stealth update.

Also: Maid Costumes for the wimmenz. This means only one thing: everyone running a mission as french maids. either that, or a Benny Hill skit outside of the Moatoob GUARDIANS branch on universe 1 and confuse the resident plebs.

HUGE FUCKING EDIT: WAIT, YOU CAN GET BRUCE'S CARD IN THE NEW MISSION? HOLY FUCKING SHIT, SEGA TEAM REDEEMED!

EDIT 2: Although saying that, some of the rewards are total shit - Ank Butic is the biggest anti-climax since Gary Moody's return to PSU, and Mugunburgac loses out to the Gekitsnata on default stats except for Accuracy, while looking utter wank. Luckily, Iggac is actually comparable to the Igga, looks fantastic in gunmetal, and can be made into every element.

And, y'know, Bruce Boyde's card.

strawdonkey · March 11, 2008

Bruce S? I honestly thought it was HSM S. I must have a WRONG FACE

Siri · March 12, 2008

Bad news, as well - for some bizarre reason, there will be no Gameplay update - because it's scheduled for 11/4.

A month away until a fucking gameplay patch like it's some sort of special feature? fuck off! I'm going back to wasting enemies with Chikki and milk those rares, fucking spackers.

GViper · March 12, 2008

So by gameplay, you just mean the chikki rebalances, etc?

Also, anyone up for a few runs of, er, whatever is popular in about half an hour or so? and continuing on?

Got a link for that? Surprising lack of hoo-hah on PSO-World.

Seeing as Siri is inept, his sexier lower level substitute (LEVEL 75!!!!!!!111111barrychuckle111) will oblige.

http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopi...ghlight=#805628

I try not to look at the official boards too much. It makes my mind shut down.

EDIT - While I'm sullying this forum with my presence I may as well post about how I'm finding new improved PSU. Well, by new I mean endlessly running White Beast S to level up. But anyway, I'm amazed how easy mission points are to earn. The aforementioned mission gives out loads, I'm already at level 14 GT (stop laughing). It is also dishing out loads of rares (well, 7-star and up, dunno if you would class them as rares anymore). Other than that, it seems pretty much the same. Only now my resta actually cures people. Also, I don't recommend doing buffs party. Even more boring then endlessly running Linear Line at lower levels when PSU started so I could go to Parum and get killed by Vahras.

Well, at least some things don't change.

strawdonkey · March 13, 2008

Aw boo. Getting bored of the game or just not got time to play it? Either way will be a shame to see you go.

If you've got any Mot Ebon/Walna or Catilium I'd like those, but I can't actually think of anything else at the moment...

Oh - if you have a Beetle statue that'd be ace too.

:huh:

Raff · March 13, 2008

Just bored of the game and don't think Sonic Team deserve my £7 a month for what they do. It was good while it lasted but there just isn't enough to do.

I'll be pestering you guys to play other games. I doubt I would have played more than a month without you lot.

I sold all my valuable materials a little while ago so I probably don't have much of that sort of thing but I'll have a look.

GViper · March 13, 2008

I hate to be cheeky, but can I has NiGHTS statue plz plz?

Raff · March 14, 2008

Nights statue AND MOAR delivered.

Don't have any of that stuff Donk. Can I tempt you with anything else? Anything that isn't claimed will be forced on you all or NPCed with the proceeds spent on hookers and green.

Siri · March 14, 2008

I'll take either the Blackbullic or that Buccaneer - I'm not desparate for either, hence the option.

In other news, I've gone a bit mad - the 50% Ragnus finally sold for 13 million, and then... I spent 10 million within ten minutes of today. on a Gudda Iggac.

7 fucking Catilium later (albeit 2 catilium that I had to hunt for), and it's in the oven. it'll be out at 8.10PM (5 hours cooking time), at 86% chance of success! on a bastard pure PM!

I can see myself taking a fall here, 10 million down the plan? score ;/ still, the board atm is selling anywhere between 7 million - 12 million, so I guess I was lucky. I guess. Still, at least it's not a Ank Butic, half of the population on Universe 1 will be heard howling at the stats they got for 7 catilium ;p

Apparently though, Catilium drops like nothing on Bruce S. Haven't tried it yet, as I want more of you bastards on for friendly runs. Still, I got the main part of the update over and done with - Maid outfits GET!

strawdonkey · March 14, 2008

I can't wait to see Richard in a maid outfit.

Good luck with the Iggac - I can see myself not stopping until I've got five of them. 701 ATA? Lols.

Raff - if you're happy for me to take it, can I have the Meteor Cannoc? Just realised it'd be ideal for Mayalee Prism.

GViper · March 14, 2008

One handed weapons are appreciated if you have any too, Raff.

Also, maid outfits out now? GET!

And I will be ALL OVER PSU tonight guys.

Siri · March 14, 2008

For those in the Iggac market, about NOW is pretty good, with the latest boards coming in at 7 million. I guess it's helpful that when the reward is eventually handed out, up to six people get it at one time (probably 6 by default anyway - 12 minutes to S-rank the dungeon with level 140 monsters? lol, good luck with that in a two-man cell), meaning that there's going to be those profiteering types constantly having a price war in the first week, or until something new comes out.

Meanwhile, I had a look at the KUBARA SPREAD STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111, and checked out things that are not Prestocs. Bought a Soda Hazzoc board in the end, as there was no information about it, and I was interested. First one just came out - 260-ish PP, 666-ish ATP, and 160-ish ATA. Which, thankfully, is a comparable product to the Soda Hazzo/Joggi, unlike the axes. I'll be grinding it to buggery later, when I can find some A-Rank Grinders.

I also bought a Roc (lol) board, but I don't have enough speral. bastards

Siri · March 15, 2008

hay guys hav u seen mah raikasobrac its pretty gr8

The Iggac came out - 18% fire, but still better than a slap in the face. Actual power is slap-bang in the middle of the Skela and the Hon, Accuracy is off the chart, and PP can be ground for or just use Just attacks. Looks totally awesome, as well.

last night was a shambles - we only completed Bruce's Dungeon S once on an A-Rank, the rest of the runs featured either Bruce dying or yours truly dying (luckily, it was only the once, but still). and then there were white beast runs, resulting in massive levels of smack talking and a *ahem* general overview of the population of live players.

I need more catilium, though. Gotta make that neutral Ank Deddac for great justice!!!!!!!!1111111111111
