Quote:PSO III News

Yuji Naka, Sonic Team leader and all around game guru, recently passed on some info regarding Sonic Team's upcoming addition to the Phantasy Star Online series, PSO Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution:

- The Japanese beta test is set to begin in July, but could possibly slip to August if need be.

- All registrations carry over from PSO Episode I&II, so players do not have to re-enter data. Quick and easy. It would be assumed that this not only applies to the serial numbers, but to Hunter's Licenses as well.

- Episode III players can share lobbies with the owners of the version 1.1 software in Japan, while owners of the original release of PSO Episode I&II will have separate lobbies. The version 1.1 software was reported to have bug and glitch fixes in it, and was rumored to disable item hacking, as well.

The playable version of PSO Episode III at last week's E3 was only 30% complete, but looked like an interesting concept. Can Sonic Team get the game polished enough for beta testing by July? Let's hope so, as any delays in Japan can lead to delays here. As we learn more about this title, we will pass the info along to all of you faithful readers.

If I completed Episode 2 on Ultimate mode when I get it, will it open all the levels on Episode 2 on the other difficulties?

What format do you guys use, and why can't the formats use the same servers on the internet, it would bw nice if they could what do you think?

Hi people, just a notice that we are holding a LAN Party in Northampton around the date of 27th of June for 3 days (hardcore).

This will be the second LAN weve done, and should hopefully get bigger and better with time. Come along to Vulgar Display of Power 2.0 if you can make it. Message me [email protected] if you are interested in a place.

There will be shit loads of games. All Pc titles on offer, bring your own beer/drink/food/cables/bedding.

Background:
I'm a Redria, Hunewearl lvl 124. I've been doing the teleport trick to get the pal rappy in Ultimate Fake in Yellow.

Facts:
So far, Mr. Pal Rappy has dropped two stupendously desirable Monomates and the always popular Telepipe.

Questions:
Eh hem. I will refrain from screaming and tearing my hair out. What is wrong? Do I need to keep trying and patiently hoping that I'll get the grand and glorious Trap Vision?

I guess the real question is, are rares dropping for the Pal Rappy in XBOX offline, single player, quest mode? Is this just a continuation of my miserable and very upsetting luck in this increasingly irritating game? I'm supposed to be getting a Red Handgun. Should I even bother to try to do the telepipe trick on the Mil Lilly to get the intensely coveted Demolition Comet???

I play XBOX PSO version. Today I heard several rumors from completely different sources. Trying to get any sort of confirmation:

1) They are coming out with a Nightmare MODE for 160+.

2) They have already released a endless nightmare quest but all part members must have Ultimate unlocked. (If this is true, how far into ultimate? 4 party members? Can you do it with 3 or 2?)

3) 40 Photon Drops can buy a Leech. Two leeches can be combined with a Stink Frame to make it the most powerful Frame in the game. Which leeches?

4) 63 million exp from 199 to 200.

Just great I just went and got PSOX and I cannot connect to the servers. Lovely 101 error.

Called MS they said alot of people have been calling up and they are taking info for Sega/MS techs.

What a great launch day :mad:

I've taken the stats from the official (I think) guide book in Japan and put them into a Excel spreadsheet for you. These are on the left of the spreadsheet and are the (supposed) best way of maxing stats.

However, for some reason, some of the stats they use actually go over the maximum stats. So on the right/middle of the page I have amended them so that you don't go over the maximum limit.

Also, I have included Junon's version of maxing stats for the Fomar (if you want me to remove it Junon just ask).

The good thing about it is that you can change the stats yourself and tinker with your own character. you can also keep track of the number of materials you have used. Just have a go and you should get the hang of it.

Just a note, don't go changing the max stats or lvl 200 stats. Just change the mag and material columns. Different classes are on different tabs.

On the Unsealed Door Quest were you meet the Doctor for the second time, he is able to change your enemy items into weapons.

If you complete the quest will that quest be unavailable in that difficulty mode?

It's took me a long while to work up to this Quest and I don't really want to start again on a different difficulty level.

Hi all,
Sega have just informed me that the names of the Euro PSO Xbox servers will be: Iolite, Alexandrite and Jasper.
