Varista

Actually excited for this event tbh.

Ephinea didn't remove ++ gear because they want to b vanilla, they removed ++ gear because they made no difference in the statistics compared to a non ++ version. Sega did this as a way to stop the randomization of their stat units for online. My guess is because they either couldn't handle coding it or because they just did't wanna worry about it. So when, on other servers, you hover over a ++ unit, it gives the base stats of the regular unit despite it being a ++ version. As an example, a Elf/Arm++ on Blue Burst, no matter what server, gives 7 ATA despite it being a ++ variant, which should give 9 ATA. Sega intentionally designed them this way. So Ephinea removing the units that have ++ or -- on them didn't change anything, they simply removed the ability to obtain them in the pool. No, also, not all players play PSO for the feeling of nostalgia. While I'm sure some players feel nostalgia when the play PSO, players of this game do not strictly play it for that reason. Do not speak for everyone. Adding new items to the game absolutely changes the state of the game from vanilla to custom. Every PSOBB server out right now is a custom server in their own way. And I've never seen anybody on Ephinea except for the die hard fanboys/girls even try to make the argument that Ephinea is a strictly vanilla server because that's silly. Ephinea, for all intents and purposes, is the closest thing to a vanilla BB server you can ever get right now. By saying adding things to the game that weren't in the game already to not be custom changes would be to completely change the definition of vanilla. I would be willing to wager that most people don't play Ultima because of how "vanilla" the game is. Quite the opposite. I was attracted to Ultima because it was the complete opposite. So many people like to clamor to vanilla experiences but Ultima was always a server you could go to if you wanted neat server exclusives and changes to the game that made it fun in new ways. I would say most people like Ultima for that reason; because it's not bound to the same arbitrary play requirements like other servers seem to be tied down by.

Part of the reason why I stopped playing despite how much I love the premise of the server is that I needed to have 80 hit for all my weapons to be successful. Not even getting lucky and getting 40-50 hit on weapons is enough to reasonably take on Ultimate. The EVP buff always seemed way too much to me. If you got rid of the EVP buff, I'd play this server way more often because I'd feel less hindered because I don't have 80 hit on everything. To compensate for that, if you wanted I'd be down to see more ATP on these enemies. Make them hit harder to compensate? Totally fine to me. But the only thing that would bring me back consistently to this server, is making it so I don't feel at a disadvantage at all times while playing; a big proponent of that is the EVP buff making it harder for me to hit things.

This server actually exists while SEGA servers do not. It's that simple really.

Like just outright taking screen shots from other servers and other places. Or how about taking the banner of Ultima, most likely without any permission, right off their site to use in their video?

I watched the youtube video and honest didn't understand a single second. He was just posting memes and a bunch of stolen screens from other people and calling it "news" He also called the schthack wiki, something that's been around for almost 3 years now, "news". I don't really know what he's trying to accomplish. Maybe I'm just not getting it.

I feel like just accepting that some things are going to be worse than others is part of this game's experience. Huney is just a solo class like Ramarl is. They fit that niche fairly well so use them that way and then make a Ramar or a Racast or Hucast for team play. I would even go far as to say to make a Melee Fomar/Fomarl for team play as well. Or be literal God and play Melee Fonewm aka Assblaster. That's a little bit of a stretch for you normal people though.

Melee suqqs

I can't believe I got email notifications for this.

This meme is about as dead as the dinosaurs.

I mean I agree to remove it as its annoying but if you really liked to sit in lobby and listen to the lobby music couldn't you just do the /lobbyevent command to find an event with music you like?

I would like to buy your love and friendship please, how much? ;3

I guess right here is a good a place of any to start. Ultima's Engine on Greenil Ultimate Episode 4 Kondrieu confirmed. Just picked one up about 10 minutes ago.

Oh gee thanks, lol @rayblasterx

Fair enough, I did think that having more ATP than Ultima DF was a little overwhelming for a saber type weapon that is easier to make than DF. I'm actually fairly content with where the ATP sits right now. Thanks for the responses!

Hey, so, I was just fooling around a little bit in Spaceships, just checking the game out again and I was using Hundred Souls and it felt weaker. Did it recently get some sort of damage alteration of some kind? I seem to remember this weapon being way stronger for some reason?

Long time no see, everyone!

Out of curiosity, was the criteria for best entries not community upvotes? Or was it based on your own personal enjoyment? Because I just assumed it was community upvote.

Besides I dont possibly see how name changing could even affect GM's in a negative way when the only think GM's need is Guildcard anyways. You don't even need to know the names of people, you only need the Guildcards to get their accounts and what not.

I just think that if you're concerned about name changing because it'll be too confusing, you shouldn't worry because this server is already pretty confusing with everybody having 20+ accounts. Letting people name change in case they dont want a name or two anymore isn't going to make it anymore confusing than it already is.

You could use an argument like that for literally anything. Like it's confusing when people make multiple accounts so why not limit people to one account per person? It's also confusing when people make multiple forum accounts, why not limit people to only making 1 forum account per IP address? You could literally go on forever.

It's only confusing because people don't even list like 99% of their character names in their bios.

Also can we make a side note? Can we please make the text that is like really light gray a different color so it's easier to read? lol

I hope to see you on again some day soon rendlan =( I will miss you

I happen to thoroughly enjoy Sil Dragon Slayer (even though I don't quite have one yet). Crush Cannon would be a big second to me. I really want to find a FotB so I can at least have it for later when I decide to upgrade it with hit and what not. I'd prefer things dropping from mobs more than bosses. To be honest, there's not much fun in doing an entire run for 1 boss and then that boss never drops it imo. I'd rather kill trillions of adds and then get it after the quintillionth kill.
