Some random ideas for server: - expand the enemy hit mini game to all weapons. This feels like a fair use of PDs. The pricing and % chance to add hit can be adjusted obviously. But if a player has a 20% chance to add 10 hit with 5 or 10pds, that would be fun and addictive to those of us who like gambling 😜. Plus it would provide a nice risk/reward from spending hours trying to get a hit weapon to drop vs just blowing a stack of PDs. You can cap it at 50 or 40 or whatever hit, but this system would greatly help. - Have Zalure lower enemy resistances as well as defense. The resistances on some enemies in Ult is just silly. There's almost zero situations where a FO would be better off using RAfoie vs banana cannon for example. This kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the MAGE class in the game if you're just going to be a pseudo-ranger. - raise newm mat allotment to 200. Every newm class has trouble maxing stats, while the TP Regen is nice, it doesn't really make up for interior stats or being limited to one or two free unit slots. Humans should have the most mats because they don't really have anything else going for them, and casts should have the least because they don't have MST to worry about, so newms should be placed in the middle. - Monthly server-wide goals/rewards. A good example of this was when Shiida set the goal of finding which enemy in ep1 dropped SS. Something like that with a PD or DT reward could be presented at the beginning of every month. Or, alternatively, a server wide goal could be in place. Something like "kill 1 million total enemies to unlock green names for the remainder of the month" or "achieve 12 banners in 24 hours to unlock 1.5 drop rate for the rest of the month" - remove/change special on rainov 5. It's such a waste - Yas series shot (10k?). Typical Yas features: extended range, weak base ATP, customized special, etc. Would be a nice alternative to DM as well as a freeze option for RAmars/RAmarls other than SQ. Kind of pathetic that forces have a weapon like Banana Cannon, and Rangers have a combo locked 50 base ATA rifle. - Adding more customizing options to character creator. Honestly was surprised the options were still so limited when I first download this game in 2020. Options like changing eye color, more than 4 skin tones, more hair styles, etc. Would be great. I'm running into players who look just like me all the time, and the server isn't even that populated. - new special *charm* turns an enemy against your opponents (obviously only low level/certain enemies would be able to be charmed). A more effective version of chaos essentially. I just like the idea of watching my pet gulgus fighting for me while I feed my mag.

I think people are just upset to see those that chose to invest the time in your event get absolutely nothing. This seems like an easy fix as you are a GM and can offer them something for the time and effort they put in. And it would also encourage participation in future events you organize.

I said it at the start about 3 submissions minimum. I don’t know why people are acting as if I suddenly decided to say that after the time was up. It was a known risk and I’m sorry that it happened. I truly thought people would play for a 100h Dark Flow and that just wasn’t the case.

Not that I am okay with this (because I couldn't care, anyway ) but one word for Lipelis: Respect

I also suggest to consider giving a consolation prize to the participants to thanks them for their time invested in your event @Saber +7

@Saber +7 (excuse my english i'm french so i don't know if you'll understand my point corectly) After two weeks of dedication, full commitment and discipline, this the result, a nice tap in the back. So we played on the test server just to train as hard as we could as a team, almost 24h hours in a span of two weeks, doesn't seems a lot, but i may remind you that people have job/life and so on, combine this with the fact that it is difficulty to be 4players online at the same time, for a long period of time, and you'll see the struggle we went through. Concerning the poll for the quest, i haven't much to say, but i'm more upset because 16people voted for the hardest choice like those quest are a cake walk. only one thing was really not smart from you is the 4p No-PB regardless the quest selected. Some people can't dedicate that much time to learn and have the skillset that allow them to complete CF/CCC/ROW, and you know it, but you made the rule clear on this point, so you exclude almost everyone from the event, and the addition of the 20PB at the start wouldn't change a thing. (we only used it for CCC) Now the event is over, and NO public news on you post, is this a joke? you should have been aware of who is working on the event, and if you didn't, why you didn't ask then? you could have cut short the event and not make us use our time on that, and use it on something else, like i don't know, maybe the SUMMER EVENT that was currently on! but now we are here, so is our only reward is tap on the back and "goodjob guys your times are goals for futur TA"? We played the game, we did the job, now we need answers.

As you said, for those who like gambling. I don't. RNG already scared off lot of people from PSO (like when you spent a whole christmas event for PGF and didn't find the said PGF). If this had to be a thing, I'd rather have Photon sphere add a straight 10 hit with a 100% chance. But that would require some Qedit expert. That would be broken against the enemies who are already weak to spells like Dorphon, Girtablulu, Shambertin... and not sure if it is possible anyway. (would Deband increase your resistances if so?) If something had to be done, would be to lower episode 2 monsters resistances. Sadly when you are a fonewearl/fonewm, you have to make a choice and bring two mags if you want use both magical and physical attacks at highest power. But I actually approve this as I always thought it was lame that Hunewearl suffer a 150 materials limit while Humar, Ramar and Ramarl has a 250, just because her ears are different than other fleshies'. Nothing could ever be comparable to FS/SQ efficiency on ramar/ramarl. SQ has a 100% chance of freezing while any Blizzard special is just too weak on non cast classes. And just in case you didn't know, freeze also depends on enemy's ESP, which means a lot of monsters are immune to blizzard (while they are not immune to FS/SQ). Considered that already. But what special? Hell would just make Rianov-5 totally outclass Le Cogneur which is a single target weapon with weaker ATA. Any sacrificial special would pretty much make it broken regarding what it's worth, especially against Dal ra lie / Barba ray. Demon's... was supposed to be Ultima bringer's purpose. Zalure would kill the last useful purpose of S rank weapons on ultima. HP drain? ... I like how you would need to do something in order to unlock Green names and not just wait for it, but GN also has its disadvantages: prevents people from hunting Rianov 5 in ep IV, Lame d'argent, Alis resolve and make mage runs more difficult. 1.5X drop rate combined to HH to make it 4.5X does not sound reasonnable. Same here. Guess how many people tried to copy 2B from Nier automata and actually copied Shiida, my main char instead? (jk but for real I made this char long time before I even heard about Nier) You could still use some skins but sadly only you will see them. You better just feed your mag in the shops of pioneer II. Your gulgus is just going to turn around with another gulgus staring at each other and never attack because they only attack their enemies' back. You posted in the wrong server.

Lately I keep reading about the Rianov-5 it's because now it's all year drop by Olga. It's the special that bad ? Really?? Jajaja not this again 😂😂🤣🤣

YES, THIS.

No... no one of that. That would imbalance the game in SO MANY areas. If neumans gets more mats, then it would be imbalanced towards casts and humans whose racial IS MORE MATS. Part of the reason its hard to cap stats is because this server boosts the cap of ATP/DFP/MST by 100, EVP by 30, and ATA by 10.

Leaving my team submission here. - @JupiterDeMars hod_dog (racast) / noudle (ramarl) - @Noopy ZYIOU (racast) - @3Psy knuckles (racast) - @R-78 Ard (racast) Christmas Fiasco - 20:18 remaining (09:42 elapsed) Cal's Clock Challenge - 03:55 remaining Realms of War - 05:07 remaining (14:53 elapsed) As you noticed there is a lot of DM use (especially in ROW which was pretty much new to everyone) but this was supposed to be a competition in which only the time matters, rather than the classes/weapons used. We actually tried quite a few runs with different compositions, but the results always came into the same conclusion: 4-rangers tend to outclass any other strategies we tried. A perfectly planned hunters strategy could probably do better but would require to learn every quest spawns perfectly, which was not possible regarding how we only had 2 weeks to learn 3 pretty long quests. Still we spent a lot of time on this event.

- considering that public times/results rather than private could have potentially jamed the submission amount? -> *Silence* - considering consolation prizes for people who participated and spent time in a time-consuming event? -> *Silence* - repeating that it was 3 submissions minimum? -> *repeating that it was 3 submissions minimum* I don't know what to say anymore aside that I agree with Bob about your silence and those vague responses that ignore the messages posted previously... especially the ones that imply some empathy from you about the time invested, the hard quests choosen in the poll with a lot of votes and just a few participants, etc. Very light reaction from you @Saber +7 imo @jdhenry124 summarized the idea pretty well

If you have a limit of submissions, then you take them before the running begins. Then you cancel at that point if there are not enough participants. You don't add a limit WHEN the running starts, but before. Hit the nail on the head there. Also unrelated but: It may sound like a petty remark, but R-78 wasn't the only one who participated in that team and tried hard to get the best scores. At least acknowledge the other 3 participants. It's not her times but theirs.

For all the clowns on Ultima Server: Happy Clowns Week Not sure where I rode about It [If not wrong: Wikipedia History section ] but It Is said that today begins the Clowns Week

Did we find out that time attack was in fact not the true endgame?

i agree, i suggest you @Saber +7 could give a DF and/or a STA to 3psy who invested a lot in your event and who has, unlike the 3 others of us, never got the chance to find those valuable items. I think our performance deserve at least some consolation prize

So this was all a sham

Well... As a fictional scenario, I'm competing with my team for that 100 hit DF and during the public results I see a better time than mine... Why should I post my time? If I do, I will help them to win the DF by contributing to that minimum 3 submissions as a +1/3 ... if I don't, the required elements (lol, sorry) will not be validated and the DF will not be taken and will still be "available" to win! I know this is the opposite of fair play but this option could have been exploited (I hope not) and can actually be avoided... That's why I suggest for the next edition if there is one, to keep the results secrets by handling them by PM @Saber +7 and make them public later on.

I cannot say for the other voters why they chose that quest line. I personally picked it because they're some of the harder quests for their prospective episodes and I thought watching/playing these runs on Ultima would be fun. There are many videos for this game and even these quests themselves to get an idea what they are. If the players are unwilling to learn the quests they chose that is not my fault. I also didn't want to force PB on these runs because building sucks and not everyone has the SD tools. Additionally PB meta is very different from No-PB and I was more interested in seeing what's possible on the No-PB category because it is harder. 20 PB or less is mostly so you cannot swing TJS as soon as you spawn in and is supposed to limit you from building too much before quest start. The rule should really only be like 4 or less PB. The start and end date of the event are in the main body post. I know ~who was playing the quests(pretty sure just y'all). That's correct I am not giving my gear away in a competition type event with a single submission and I said it in a post that this would need a minimum 3 submissions before I give my gear away. Even though your times are alright it's the idea that just any team could've posted and won the literal best gear on the server. It's enough to fully gear 4 people. I don't think so it was supposed to be hard and competitive. I realize it was not, but not much to do about that. Y'all played, but no one else did and I am sorry about that, but yes the only reward will be on the leaderboards for now.

@Saber +7

Faster gif casting would be absolutely insane. None of these items need to be made. There’s hundreds of items on PSO and the nature of DTs enables so many more to be useful. The game does not need anymore new items. If anything some items should be removed.

I'd rather not copy Destiny ideas. At least you could make it. Originally in PSO it was impossible to add hit at all (except enemy parts), so in my honest opinion giving an alternative to DTs for adding hit would be good enough. The PS was juste a reference, could add other options like there are in Paganini to add less stats for fewer PDs. Now I'm concerned about the latter part. Why would you want to release a weapon that just acts like a replacement for a weapon that even someone new to Ultima could easily get in Beak's Cafe with a bit of work? I said Ultima Bringer, not Bringer's Rifle. That was just an example. Rianov special would hit stronger than DM special if it had a sacrificial special. I think you are overestimating the power of Burning. Burning does exactly the same damage amount whatever weapon you use, whatever grind and attributes% your weapon has, whatever MST you have. And guess what's the damage output on Ultimate Dark Falz ? So if Burning is gonna help you just for Dark Falz, then it is even worse than Rianov's original special. Better use a mechgun type weapon (yasminkov 9000M) at this point so at least it hits 89 x 3. Since I started playing on Ultima, I literally never seen anyone using Chaos special for serious purposes. It would be as useful as Dark. And I have actually already seen someone using Dark.

its only an idea, posted in the ideas to improve thread.

I just made a force class character and I chose FOmar over FOnewm specifically because I didn't want to deal with carrying multiple mags/units around. 200 stat points is a HUGE difference, 100 stat points is a still a big difference. To say that regen TP while idle is a fair trade for 200 stat point allocations is laughable. Further, huney suffers from this same problem. She HAS to equip a cent arms, even though an Adept would fit her playstyle much better. I'm not saying we should raise the stat cap on newms, just make their max stat plans comparable in viability to other classes

The special is dark, which is one tier below hell. While not completely useless, there's not really a scenario where you would use it over another weapon's hell special. Also it's the only rainov series with a special, all other can be customized How would allowing newms to more freedom with units/mags imbalance the game? Newms can hit max stats now, but to do so they have to put up with the tedium of constantly switching mags/units. This make newms less fun to play with as a result

Thank-you for the trade!

PANZER FAUST [Chaos] [35/0/30/0|40] I want to buy this panzer faust but I honestly have no idea what it is worth : P

Yuji Naka (OMG is thy why the Naka's Card are named like that?!!) was the head of SonicTeam when PSO came first on DC. He gave an interview to Polygon (and more to come!) about PSO and how it worked back in time, I enjoyed a lot reading this so I though you may want take a look ! https://www.polygon.com/interviews/2020/7/26/21332950/yuji-naka-sega-phantasy-star-online-20th-anniversary

Looks like we have got an auction here without a deadline 🤭 I'm offering a Sonicteam Armor

Offering 210 dts, not because I'm a jerk who wants to upstage R-78, but because I am very interested in it. (Sorry Shiida XD )

Yo dudes and dudettes :3 Im from Germany and dont have many players to play with at max lvl I guess; So I wanted to ask if a group needs a 4th player or some peepz just wanna hunt something , during this event and exceed :3 Im playin lv 200 HuCast, with some experience over the years (I would call myself a noob still) but im doin decent damages I guess x) I hope its not too cringe to post this under this event but, summer and this event ends soon, so I'll try my best shot x) Greetz to all of you, and of course gl with ur hunts ❤️

Legit ways to improve the server imo. -Ability to rejoin midquest... Yes I know this can in fact screw up sometimes, but getting disconnected for no apparent reason is horrible. -Daily login reward system, perhaps its just as simple as a random event weapon drop all year (obviously crap weapons would have a MUCH higher chance of being the reward), this would of course somehow have to be restricted to avoid multiple accounts etc. -Donation system for HH, perhaps you just got off work and missed HH however you don`t mind fronting 5 bucks USD (not donation tickets) (good for the server) to may it happen for 3 hours (Maybe limit this to one usable per 12 hours total server wide) and your name pops up as the BANNER! -More boss drops of different bosses, I personally miss the days of running all of Caves having a unique boss drop after running the whole thing on Ultimate would be great, every area with an actual unique drop outside of event (I know this requires work and a bit more thought but I think you guys get what I am saying) -Nerf DW combo unlock to 2X instead of 3X or drop the attack power. (This is self explanatory, it would instantly make other options viable, ie. R5 for pierce or BV, TJS becomes useful again etc. Without complete making DW useless. -Meseta Bot, make a meseta bot quest perhaps part of Lemons shop. -The Official Ultima Client including the item reader etc for ease of use for new people. -Serene Swan (Yes I said it) I still think this weapon should be handgun range, HUcasts can now basically out damage rangers from Rifle Range.... Thats just crazy and should be addressed, those that say otherwise are just enjoying the fact that HUcast is the Meta. -Evasion in EP2, Yes I understand that its not that bad when you are end game geared up, but for people just starting its horrendous. The fact that a 80 hit weapon ie. Frozen Shooter can miss a target point blank leading to death is crazyness.... -ROCT rewards, Please remove PD from this..... Hell make the crap weapons replace it please.... Just the ability to know a weapon is going to be the reward would be fantastic, Add some more weapons to it or something. This is enough for now, only ideas!

Of course Why would someone want to hunt the probably most nuisant final boss of the game, just to get... ... ...nothing [Yeah sure, Greenill and Blue fool get Kroe's Sweater (Greenill easier than bluefull ), but what Is that compared to DFalz and Holy Worms' drops. No offense ] Ah, there's also the experience points, but that can be gotten In many easy and hard ways [Ah right, the Events when Polka Dots have something Important, yes. The Easter Event that had passed already (Samurai Armor) and Christmas Event (Parasitic Gene Flow.... well, that's pretty much close to the boundary between nothingness and loyal cruelty over a month of wasted effort )]

~ Trivia ~ 1. Characters present on Event Banner: Smoke - HUcast (Noob Saibot) Bambietta - HUcaseal (R-78) 2. The Vivienne seen in the banner is the same one used by Linde on R-78 and mudkipzjm entry. It was gifted by Noob Saibot to R-78 on Valentine's Day (to be more precise, as a birthday gift). The weapon choice and stats (0/0/100/100|78) means something special. 3. The mag seen in the banner picture is named Sita, although the mag name doesn't mean anything in particular, it resembles flowers. It was also a gifted item just like the Vivienne. 4. This isn't the first time a Vanilla RoCT event happened on Ultima PSO:BB. Another event, previously hosted by Echoes, happened on 2016, around the same time this one was hosted. It is believed that only one entry was submitted because the prizes were not worth the grind/effort. 5. This event got some more restrictions than previous one, such as male ♂ and female ♀ and two characters only. However, more weapons and items were allowed. 6. The author of this mini-event has chosen to host it after Official Valentine's Day Event due to the event drops, that could have been useful for the RoCT challenge, such as Angel Harp, Dual Bird, Rambling May, Sweetheart, Dress Plate and Last Swan for example. 7. One of the rules were suggested to be changed later, removing some restrictions, but the author has chosen to not alter them to make the event fair for everyone. - Removing Hit % Limit for photon weapons only (Vulcan, Laser, Arms, Diska, etc.) - Removing 50% Hit Limit from enemy parts weapons. 8. The prank video was done on Test Server. Using commands to warp to boss (/warp 13) did not work on Raid on Central Tower Quest, as it kicks you directly to the Lobby. To solve this problem, authors of the prank started the Respective Tomorrow (RT) Quest, waited on Temple part until 55'30 and warped together. In the very first attempt, R-78 got a disconnect error while waiting untill 55 minutes; at second attempt, we messed up and forgot to activate God of Equip (/goe), making it impossible to equip Dark Meteor Storm, we only made it after third attempt. As seen in the video, there is no alarm sound and red light blinking on Olga Flow boss battle and the timer is increasing instead of decreasing (like on RoCT). 9. The Raid on Central Tower wallpaper idea came out while the mini event author was tweaking some PSO:BB weapon skins for R-78, a person he really likes and have a lot of consideration. Programs used were: GIMP (to cut objects from pictures) and PowerPoint (to paste objects and layers). 10. I ❤️️ you Bambietta. Additional statistics information has been added on Results Post, such as character resistances and time until reaching part II of Control Tower. ~ Claimed Prizes List ~ - 1st place prizes - Dark Flow (50/0/0/50|50) Dark Meteor (0/50/50/0|50) Dark Bridge (50/0/50/0|50) Sonicteam Armor - 2nd place prizes - Centurion/Battle Centurion/Battle - 3rd place prizes - 10 x New Year Cards 2 x Chromatic Orb
