I'll put this here so people don't skip over it: There may not be any changes to the server based on this thread I'm not a GM or dev for Ultima Rumour mill says there is already some changes happening, whether that means discussed or actual files being changed I don't know. In case larva supports this, keep this thread clean, discussion is fine but arguing will destroy this What is the goal of this? Why? Why should we question ST's game balance? What can I add? If you are just reading this for the first time, there has been plenty of discussion and changes to this post. I would consider this to be nearing a conclusion then I'll be making the files and a final write up to present to larva, so throw your 2 cents if you haven't already. Here is my thoughts so far, colour coded as follows: Important, if not then what else? Possible, just a thought but should it be made important? Noted, should be possible to implement along with this. Humar: Problems: Slightly underused, lacks 350 HP and 240 ATP on hucast for only 9 ATA, needs to bridge gap a bit. 175 HP. Allow S/D Hunewearl: Problems: Low ATP, low-moderate ATA, lowest hunter HP, worst difference between base 200 and max 200 stats in the game but only 150 mat cap, 125 more ATP 4 more ATA Higher base 200 stats, so less mats needed 100 more HP Hucast: Problems: None really, overused. Hucaseal: Problems: ATP and HP horrible for a droid. 175 more ATP 300 more HP 50 more DFP Ramar: Problems: None really, small boost wouldn't hurt. Allow J/ZRamarl: Problems: None. Racast: Problems: None. Racaseal: Problems: Underused, not terrible but biggest flaw is how well rounded the other ranger characters are in comparison and low ATP. 100 ATPFomar: Problems: Where to begin? Enough ATP to attack but not enough ATA and low defensive stats. Didn't really keep up with the buffed monsters. Makes kajex sad. 27 more ATA 200 more HP 80 more DFP Fomarl: Problems: ATA too low. 20 more ATAFonewearl: Problems: HP too low, too many 1 shot scenarios with buffed monsters. 125 more HPFonewm Problems: Not many. 30 more HP

Also as for the members of MASS-Ultima who are not a Leader/Master yet it's not too late for you to prove yourself to me within the Team, I do pay close attention when i'm Online.

Well I do like you Faki, very friendly player =] and you suit the requirements for MU anyway. However there is also the fact that there is some drama going on between you and some other players. (I won't mention names) But yeah i'm sorry to say but that will bring drama to MU and I don't want that for my Team I only want the best for them, so I have to decline this offer sorry. =[ Edit: However I do wish the best for you in this game and good luck.

Hmmmm this is not all that bad, yeah I do agree with most of this and Armando's statement of HUcast as well as Wilson's HUmar changes but for the classes Kom has stated this is a little unusual for some people but yet again i do agree with this topic like 40% of it. But anyway Kom has set an example towards everyone with implying towards the server that if you are determined to get some changes towards the server done informing Larva is literally the only possible way, so Kom I greatly approve this =] However back to Square#1 with the topic ideas there is 1 major flaw in this plan that will go against the whole of PSO World stat guides and Ultima guides for maxing stats and mag stat builds etc unless you officially create a new guide towards these changes if they are made by Larva himself then it will not be a problem also for the reasons behind this will only go towards the Ultima server but there is a reason why some of these stats for certain characters exist, i'm not saying I disagree with these changes but some of the upgrading in stat numbers could cause a problem to the main purpose of certain classes. In addition towards this it will be also true that if you make some certain classes more stronger in stat and tech wise it could backfire and make other classes more rare to see in game also, so try to be careful on this one (Example: Boosting HUmar's ATP and HP and including S/D techs will totally defeat the purpose of HUcast and make them more rare, since it will compensate with their stat builds). It is always a good thing to know some people are determined to improve PSOBB and make it more interesting to look forward into playing but just remember the main Game Developers of the original PSO(1) did these stats for a reason to go towards these classes. Furthermore for the FO classes i'm with you 100% on that one because Ultima have developed the Mob so much compare to the other PSOBB servers or the original itself, I mean just look at Crack mode like wtf! 100% Megid immune ^^ that's a perfect example of what I mean for this bit. ...But yeah some really good ideas here Kom, I like what i'm seeing.

Black paper is Rianov, not Rianov SNR-5. There are six models of Rianovs. Only two are obtainable on this server. Only SNR-5 penetrates to hit multiple enemies per shot, and it's combo unlocked. Actually, it's "Shadow" not hell. (From weakest to strongest, it goes Dim, Shadow, Dark, Hell.) Even with 100 hit and v502, don't plan on the special actually killing very well. This weapon is useful for it's ATP and piercing, not the special. It's quite a powerful weapon. http://pso.wikkii.net/wiki/Rianov_303SNR-5

Does it even have a special on it??? The one I have from the Black Paper Deal 2 quest is more useful as a wall curio decoration. If it doesn't, then I wouldn't give you a photon drop for it... It's basically near worthless without the piercing hell special IMHO. Unless Kajex or Mio can rectify that in the future with the proper event of course...

Mini event has ended! Officially, this mini event will end Sunday, 3/30. After Sunday, there will be no more charge s-ranks. I will be giving away five s-ranks with an unobtainable special: charge! You can choose any s-rank weapon that exists in PSOBB. Your weapon will be named "Charge" and have a charge special. To win, you must provide 99 items. You must also be the first person to collect the 99 items. Once you have obtained a winning stack of items, you must post a picture in this forum for proof (do not send me private messages with proof). If, for example, someone has already claimed prize #1, I will no longer exchange secret tickets for s-ranks. There is only one prize for each type of item found. You can now win as many prizes as you want . Once you have won a prize, you cannot win more charge s-ranks even if you are the first person to collect all required items for another prize. Prize #1 Bring me 99 Secret Tickets before anyone else. These can be found in the quest "Simulator 2.0" Congrats to Mylandra! Charge Needle Prize #2 Bring me 99 photon tickets before anyone else. These can be found in the quest "Gallon's Plan." Congrats to Saith Charge J-Cutter Prize #3 Bring me 44 Magic Stone Iritista's before anyone else. Congrats to Haro! Prize #4 Bring me 99 Star Amplifiers before anyone else. Massblade decided to let faki claim it. Charge Scythe Changed to Charge Needle Prize #5 Bring me 66 Booma Claws (enemy parts, not the weapons) before anyone else. It must be exactly 22 booma, 22 gobooma and 22 gigabooma claws. Congrats to Davell. Prize #6 Bring me 99 hildebears (50 hildebear, 49 hildeblue heads) before anyone else. Congrats to Faki Prize #7 Bring me 30 Del Sabers before anyone else (15 left arms, 15 right arms) Congrats to Chris Prize #8 Bring me 99 Sugary Treats before anyone else (33 Chocolate, 33 Cake, 33 Candy) - Cake: Pioneer Halloween quest, Candy - The Principal's Gift quest, Chocolate - Gallon's Shop Congrats to Nessly Prize #9 Bring me 31 Magic Things before anyone else (15 Magic Rock Moola, 15 Magic Stone Iritista, 1 Magic Water) Congrats to Cyane Prize #10 Bring me 99 Hearts before anyone else (10 heart of kapu kapu, 10 heart of pian, 10 heart of angel, 10 heart of devil, 9 heart of opa opa, 50 pds in the form of 1 magic rock heart key) Congrats to Squish Possible S-ranks to claim: Good Luck!

me too mass i agree

I'm really enjoying this Topic the ideas i'm seeing is getting me really interested to whats to comes for the new traits towards the server in general and the easter event =]

you should change noob hp to +1 hp to correct the potential issues

I'll give you an example of what could be done: The playerlvltbl.prs is sent in the welcome packet it controls the stat gains per level 1-200. it's the file that for example gives you 2 atp when you level up. Now what you could do is increase the gap between min and max stats so that you cannot max out a char with materials, then send a different welcome packet to prestige players which closes the gap letting them max stats easier. as i pointed out above this is probably beyond the people doing this if they can't even get prestige working. Their prestige system as far as i know is all quest unlock based, and hard enforced equip caps by the server in the form of special items and quests. Oh and a coloured name ie not worth doing really, i'm sure choko could tell you more. Also stop using negative stats in equipment. Pso doesn't like it. especially HP.

well i guess no one noticed my char was level 900+ on schtserv, drawback with this is hp and tp are calculated via level (as well as mst for tp) anyway my ramar if you want an example has around 3kish hp and 1.5kish tp base with no material usuage. Kajex careful with what you promise people, there are things that can and can't be done. As well as things which probably should be avoided doing.

Two reasons this discussion might not be needed: New easter event items address some of the things Kom brought up in the first post Prestige has been making some progress. The idea of prestige is to allow increases to stats. Between these two things, many of the concerns addressed will be resolved.

I was totally writing a long reply to your first post then other posts popped up and I got lost in all my tabs lol. If I get these changes pushed through (and maybe even if I don't) I will post on here updated versions of these 3 things that I already have for existing Ultima stats: Excel spreadsheet for maxing all characters (auto calculates mag/materials for you based on your equips) An app with less info than the excel sheet, but same feature for quick plans and no excel required Text based guide on the forum here with suggested optimum gear/mag/mats for each character. I edited the first post with what I think the discussion so far up to this point has indicated, and put in specific values for each change. If you are new to the thread take some time to read the replies so far, lots of good points. Bed time now, will check again tomorrow. Thanks everyone so far.

join pro team then XD

I wish you the best of luck, there are plenty of great teams on Ultima who have what you're looking for.

Hey, Good work on this, may it prosper to fruition . I will try to be as short as possible In general from what I have seen, the major issue with having buffed monsters is overall the ability to hit them. While that was discussed I would like to discuss a few other things. It seems to me, and this is my honest opinion, that DEF and EVP are a bit "useless" when it comes down to it. HP seems the better option in this regard. (Notice how for example Shambertin will one shot any HP over 1700 with his tornados, while less HP survives. This isn't defense mediated. No difference in S/D levels would help in terms of those kind of attacks). In general even though RAcaseal was supposed to be the "Tanky" class, RAcast seems to be able to take A LOT more punishment than they can. Also Dark Falz swipe is HP dependant (i.e. minimum HP to survive). Next thing I would like to provide my opinion on each class: HUmar: More HP would be a nice. 200 would be great as a start. (I don't think MST would make much of a difference in this case) ATP would definitely be a plus, however one needs to take into consideration the J/Z. 50-75 ATP imo would be enough. One would argue a Zalure Gun on a Cast however not EVERYONE has the ability to get it (PD cost, Finding C Mode Teams etc.) HUnewearl: I totally agree with your suggestions. In addition to which let's not forget the 20 S/D she comes with. HUcaseal: Not a lot of experience with this class. HUcast: I think the ATA should remain as what it is. HUmar ATA caps at 205 iirc which provides a "small" edge on getting away with less hit weapons. I believe that's the trade-off between HUcast and HUmar in that case. If you plan on increasing HUmar ATA to 210 and HUcast to 205 then you will have to significantly increase the HUmars ATP. By more than 150. RAmar: Not a lot of experience with this class but giving it J/Z might be a bit too much. They are indeed a great solo class on their own with the ATP they have. IIRC, RAmar's have S/D RAmarl: Again, totally agree. RAcast: Totally agree. RAcaseal: Not a lot of experience with this class. Adding more HP would be good too (to fulfill her "tanky" nature). FOmar: I agree with what you said. However I do have other qualms with it. ATA should be a minimum of 200 to be effective in Melee tbh especially that most Melee FOmars try to acquire at least 40 hit weapons. In addition to which being able to use Psycho Ravens. HP around 200-250. Maxing at 1450 puts it in very high danger when it comes to melee-ing. Being able to use more swords or multi target weapons (not slicers). The choice few they can have is either not worth in attack power (except the Master Sword), in the very least if they believe it will upset the balance of FO Vs. HUmar then at least Partisans. (I mean all the partisans, even though they can use quite a few, the ability to obtain a high hit photon weapon would be a lot easier than a Soul Eater/Soul Banish/Asteron Striker/Scythe S- Rank). Being able to use the Parasols/Bags etc. For when they need to support. Instead of having to change Barriers/Weapons and Armor every few minutes. FOmarl: If a boost to ATA is going to happen to FOmar, then FOmarl will also definitely need to be more. Demon Support is a big thing and she already supports really well. FOnewearl: Not a lot of experience with this class but they definitely need ATP. Like Defnitely. 200-250 worth. FOnewman: They are in need to be able to support effeciently. Overall, excellent topic and keep up the good work! I think I lied about keeping it short xD

kom you're a genius I don't agree with the hucast ata tho even tho i use one

HUmar should get s/d and slight boost to ATP HUcast should have more DFP and ATA FOmar also is in dire need of a boost to DFP I agree Also this is a great thread and I hope there is no arguing

The only classes that really could use that boost is FOmar and HUnewearl and maybe HUcaseal but I think the rest of the classes are already pretty good but if HUmar could get s/d like it used to that would be cool, however this is a good thread and I agree with the idea but if any of the classes really need it is the 2 I listed they could use some serious fixing lol

hell laser works better than rianov for hell special, no idea as of right now if it's because hell is reduced or because the gun itself has no hit %. This gun is really just for long range insta hit purpose for moving foes as piercing can be done with dark meteor special.

Let me rephrase, the crack mode ship had 5exp turned on permanently because we forgot to take it off. So that won't be the case anymore as it lets people level even faster than it already does now. Maybe mix it in with prestige,like prestiged players could potentially gain a bonus by playing on the crack mode ship but these are all just vague ideas we need to discuss internally.

Shoutout to 007 for helping me get the last few gobooma arms. Needed 5 but he gave me 13 xD!

Welcome both of you, can't wait to get on and play some more missions with you guys. ^^ Enjoy your stay, i'm always here to help.

smartlink ,, TJS, excalibur for DM

Yes, -repping Godric randomly is much more fun xD And shame to see you go Maya, you seem like a lively person. But I know the feeling of being bored of the game after a while. Hop in any time to say hi.

Anyone who can forcefully reproduce the steps on getting the ??? bug is welcome to share the steps so we can look into that.

If I didn't' have to bother about security issues, this thing would have been released years ago. Unfortunately PSO is infamous for its hacking community and I don't want to spoonfeed them exploits.

Sign me up! Moderately active player here getting back into the swing of things.

Here! ...chuk moved it http://www.phantasystaronline.net/test/newsite/droptable.php

You won't get info from us in a topic like this. Better to find me in lobby 1 at midnight. Yes it was sarcasm.

Putting this back on topic, I actually think there are several reasons people stay "poor" on the server: You need good items to hunt items. The less good items you have, the less you can hunt. I've been trying to fix this with mini events, like our free 50 hit on ano bazookas. They aren't the world's greatest items, but they are great for helping newer players. Some people can't afford to donate. The game isn't really pay to play, but it's a lot easier to jump ahead with a few donations. And again, once you have good items, it's easy to hunt more. Until you make friends, it's hard to get items. Solo play is rough for hunting until you're "rich." It takes a long time to get rich. Many people don't devote enough hours to do so. A lot of players quit after just a few months or don't actually hunt event items during the events. Miss out on key events, and you stay poor. That being said, people I play with tend to not be "poor." I like to help players when I can. With the right team, it's easy to move ahead in the game. With teamwork, donations really are optional to support the server.

Copying and pasting from the GM thread, these were my suggestions for banners. Adept (From Shambertin) Antidark ring (if we add it to the drops) Asteron Striker Black Psycho Crystal Blood Sword Book of Hitogata Centurion Battle Cladding of Epsilon Galatine Genpei Girasole Handgun Guld Heaven Striker (Possibly? Or remove Heaven punisher from announcements. Heaven striker is worth more.) Hylian Shield Master Sword Mercurius Rod (From Shambertin) Nei's Claw Psycho Wand Prophets of Motav Rianov SNR-5 Samurai Armor Sealed J-Sword Sorcerer's Arm Zanba There's a spoiler in there for a new item I want in the drops. Edit: I should clarify these are added banners. Red ring, Kroes, Heaven punisher, would all still have banners. Though I do think heaven punisher needs to be removed.

No , do not give HUmars/RAmars both SDJZ 15 , they will outclass their female counterparts damage wise , rendering them useless. if they hypothetically do get these buffs , RAmarl only has a slight edge because of Clio and HUmar/RAmar/HUnewearl dont have any j/z weapons aside from the merges. HUmar - Fine HUcaseal - 1450 atp , 230 ata , 1900 max HP Hucast- Fine HUnewearl - Lv 25 S/D ( Not able to use Clio) and level 30 resta. she has 1200+ MST for a reason. RAmar - Fine RAcast - No need to even mention him RAmarl - Lv 25 J/Z (To compliment her ability to use Clio) RAcaseal - 1360 atp , 251 ATA. her tank abilities hinder her more than it is useful so I would leave her HP and DFP the same. FOmar - 200 ATA. FOnewearl - Allow use of MM. 1500+ max HP to tank double-balls from falz FOnewm - Increase his RA tech bonus by 5-10% FOmarl - 190+ ata. Some half-assed suggestions.

Dont you love it when those who dont even contribute to the server and are playing for free complain ?

MASS-Entry#4 (Star Amplifier's) Tbh this Event yet again was unfair since I already had 87 Stacked up so yeah all i had to do was use my HUnewearl which is a Bluefull and farm the rest Star Amps in Wrath of Forest 1st wave 'Rappies' then restart ^^. Anyway, Happy Hunting for the rest of you guys.

Fresh out of the oven! Sweet tooth anyone?

he values this gm at pgf +

I have one thing to say and it's nothing to do with rebalance, fuck psow, all they do is snub those of us who actually bother to keep this game alive for mostly dick sucking reasons none of which actually make any sense. Client controls the stats, both max mats and base as well as the mat usage hard cap, unless prestige users use a different client this will never happen, a soft cap d/cing users for over using materials also makes no sense.
