  1. Not that I'd want you to lend things to me but I feel like it'd be kind of hard to not remember me
  2. That'd break my heart if I couldn't play online with all my friends.
  3. Very often times I have been asked by old friends of PSO when I used to play on Schthack in the olden days what my biggest regret on the game was. It didn't take me long to come up with a satisfactory answer to that question. My answer? I most regret not getting my best friend banned from the server. To some that might sound pretty friggin crazy right? Why would I ever want to get my best friend at the time banned? Well, to answer that you have to look at the times I was in. I was 13/14 years old at the time, I had been playing Offline on the GCN all my life and I was new to this whole new online thing. My best friend at the time, a RAmar who I will keep unnamed, at the time of when we were playing most together was during an old Schthack Christmas event. The Schthack event during Christmas was notorious for bumping up monster damage and speeds while awarding those who were brave enough to venture into Ultimate with the best weapons of the event in rare presents dropped from the monsters. Well, at the time he wasn't too high of a level on Ultimate, he was about 130 or so, 134 I think. He brought me into a room and told me that people are starting to leave Schthack because getting these gifts are too hard because the monsters are really tough to kill So he told me that he found a weapon that was powerful enough to kill all monsters and bosses in a single hit and I was sooo ignorant at the time and so interested to see. So he took me into a TTF and started to kill everything in one hit; even the dragon boss on ultimate he killed in a single hit. When I asked him how he did it, he told me he was using a third party program that allowed his weapons to one shot kill things. He also listed off a long list of other people who were also using the program on the server at the time. But then he told me, he threatened me that if I had told anybody about this, that he'd get me banned... Me being the scared little kid I was I just said okay and was scared to mention anything. So I didn't He ended up using that cheat engine to get a ton of presents which he got wealthy off of and then used another to duplicate photon spheres so he could max his gear out. I remember going into a room with all his little buddies, all super decked out in rich gear he got from legitimate hunters that he traded illegitimate stuff to them Sitting there with my 0'd spread needle and LK38 combat letting him cheat and letting him and his friends plague the market... If I had known then what I do now I would have totally taken the screen shots, taken the logs and banned him and his idiot friends from the game... Perhaps a lot of things would have gone differently if I did... Tell me your stories of things you regret doing? Always good to share past experiences.
  4. Yeah I'll make a game, Spi will be the name.
  5. Hey there, looking to sell some nonsense for some PD's, PD's are mainly what I want, but I wont turn away from DT's. Zanba 0/0/0/0|25 (At least 60 PD's) Double Cannon 0/35/0/0|35 (At least 45 PD's) Excalibur 0/0/30/50 (ehh, like 20 PD's maybe) Sold to Arestos Lame D'Argent (zero kills, cant remember stats, it only has 1 stat) like 5 PD's? give me a shout if you want these.
  6. It was probably Eden or Ephinea. Idk why you wouldn't mention the names, it's not like we're the best or only PSOBB server on the block. I guess really it all comes down to what kind of experience the owner and then by extension the community wants the server to fill. There's a different experience with each server and each one fulfills it's different niche. Patch notes are basically around to extend thoughts and answers out to the community. In my eyes I'd honestly send all monster stats, weapon stats, and character stats back to the Dreamcast days, as in my opinion, Ver.2 PSO was the best version of PSO. But that's just me.

    Sold

    You cannot, that's what a starting bid is meant for. 15 dt's min or no deal. Also, orgod, are you sure you want to b/o Lindcray? The event is only a few days away and Vday event drops Lindcrays on numerous ID's...
  8. Due to the lack of attention this is getting, I have decided to move the time table down. The auction will now end today, January 30, at 6 PM EST, 3 PM PST. Rdizzy still CHB.
  9. whats your definition of high hit? like 50+?
  10. And people wonder why this economy is in the shitter.
  11. I was running some Solo HUcast Caves earlier today for some dank Chain Swads and I found a couple of these things
  12. In my 17 years of playing PSO this was the single most fun and epic and awesome quest I've ever played on this game on any server. You outdid anything I could have ever expected. As I told you when we were done, the only thing that could have made this any better is if it actually did go on forever and you had to quit out of the game to stop. Thank you for this masterpiece.
  13. As title states, it's a 25 hit Zanba, lets get it rolling. I'm mainly looking for PD's. Starting bid is 50 PD's. If some one's kind enough I'm willing to b/o for a PBC :^) I can dream alrighty. that's it. Thanks for bidding. Auction ends.... lets say... Today, January 30, 6 PM EST, 3 PM PST. Currently CLOSED: Winner is Rdizzy for 10 DT's. current CHB: Rdizzy 10 DT's.
  14. *COUGH* Sword of Ultima sound familiar to you? *COUGH* You don't really seem to have any issue making hitless partisan weapons (a weapon which also has an srank variant) or are you only interested in weapons that best promote the glitching aspect? Because Sword of Ultima is just a special-less partisan weapon that you need to donate to get a special onto or wait to add hit to. Hypocrite, if you ask me.
  15. I mean they did create Slicer of Vengeance which has charge on it (come on guys... really???) so I'm quite sure adding in another slicer with a slightly different or more diverse special is considered breaking anything in my book. Also I can smell Saith typing out a response for special/normal glitching a mile away so let me just say that you shouldn't ever have to rely on glitches for any weapon to become viable with any class. That's something I believe a lot of people have been thinking lately. Make us diverse weapons. Make us something cool!! It doesn't have to be the most over powered weapon in the world you know... make us a slicer weapon that has 0 ATP but has a grind of 250, or make us a shot weapon that has 0 ata stat but has well over 5000 atp so it almost never hits but when it does, you hit like a truck... or make a shield that when worn makes you invisible but only when in caves... or make an armor that when worn at a certain beat time in the game bumps up all your stats by 100 over max but on every other beat time it reduced them all by 100... (SPITBALLED IDEAS DONT FREAK OUT AT ME) This game needs diversity. People are way too concerned with effectiveness on this game and what's optimal when this game is over 17 years old. At this point in the game's life span we should be less and less concerned about what's optimal and effective and more interested in diversifying the game's load outs in funny and inventive ways... This game has stopped being creative for the majority of the time for a looong ass time.
  16. I agree with Yan but the issue is that trying to compare the rest of the GM staff with Cyane is like a complete disrespect to the other GM's... nobody could be as caring and interactive as Cyane was. But this server's community is slowly dying. I think people are starting to finally see how little there is left to do in actuality and even during events people dont even hunt without HH (though this has been the case for years, it still shows how bland the game is to most people). It's really sad to me that the little bit of active GM's we have left cant even seem to get enough of an effort to do consistent mini events. Kajex's was a good start and was cool, and I'm not saying I don't appreciate the work the GM's do, but with Cyane gone, we need some one else that's just as passionate that can fill her shoes. Cant we do like a community vote to get some one that we trust and will always do good in the community to become the new active GM and create events for us? Because with our little population left and none of the GM's really playing, I haven't seen a GM on to do actual GM work or willing to help others do that work in like a month... THAT'S A BAD THING.

    Closed. Sold to TripleR.
  18. Obligatory quest promotion!!! I mean.. a lot of the quests revolve around having a party unfortunately. I would honestly really love to see some of these multiplayer quests that aren't really too big a threat for event items to be brought into solo mode for players. Maximum Attack 4a/b/c are all really good in episode 1... they have a bit of a learning curve in Ultimate but are otherwise easily doable with a little planning... and best of all.. they have no locked doors!!!!
  19. Everybody should bid all your good stuff on this man's Needle!
  20. But how many people are currently farming WoI? How many of you are actually going to spend 5 hours farming for PD's on it? I think basing whether this is a bad idea or not on a what-if scenario is incredibly ignorant. We cut the stats in half of the weapon and then you'd need to pay double the PD's. The hard part isn't in the PD's really it's in finding the weapons that you can infuse into those weapons of choice.
  21. I mean there's only one legitimate way to do it at all times. There's hit events but those only happen once every blue moon so I don't think you can even count those as a factor.
  22. Ever since the creation of my Ultima's economy sucks thread I've been thinking of ways that we could try to make PD's more valuable and give an alternative way for people to add percents and hit to weapons without having to pay real money or at least use DT's... I've been cooking up this idea for about a month now, so hear me out on it. I'm not quite sure what I'd call the process... lets just call it... "Power Transfer" for now. With Power Transfer, what you can do is you can add additional percents (up to the cap, 80 hit, 100 double stats) using weapons that you find around PSO. For example... I have a 30 hit Excal on my RAmarl and it's blank otherwise... but I'd really like a stat or two extra on my Excal... but wait, I have another Excal on my HUcast that has 40 machine and 50 dark... that's perfect, those are both stats that I like and would love to have them on my 30 hit Excal. With Power Transfer, I would bring that 40m/50d Excal and my 30 hit Excal to a GM and tell them that I want to transfer over those stats on the non hit Excal to my hit Excal, which, in the process, destroys the item in question. But it wouldn't be a direct Power Transfer, you'd take both the stats, and then cut them in half. If you didn't cut them in half it'd be really easy to take a few high statted Excals and make a maxed out Excal instead for little PD's. So, going back to my example, my 40m/50d Excal, I'd cut both of those stats in half, which would make it 20m/25d and I'd add those stats to my 30 hit one. Simple right? The Excal I took the stats from would be destroyed (aka taken by the GM and sold to shop or whatever), but in order of PD payment, you'd combine those two stats together and then pay double that in PD's. The total amount would come to 45 total percentage, so I'd pay 90 PD's in total in addition to the destruction of my previous Excal. I believe this process could also be for hit. If you have an Excal that has a perfect 60/60 ratio in stats and you have another Excal that has 50 hit, but nothing else, take that hit Excal and Power Transfer it, adding the 25 hit over to your 60 statted Excal and you paying 50 PD's out of pocket for the exchange. The process could also be streamlined for combined items. Items like Arrest Needle you would only need a Spread Needle for to add stats to since it's created out of that. Or a Hundred Souls, all you'd need is a good statted Excalibur. I believe this would add significant value to PD's while also adding an extra option to those who have the PD's to spend but dont want to spend DT's. It would also be rewarding to those who hunt multiples of an item and would probably increase the value of some other smaller items for those that are interested to make a happy buck or two off of the trade. I could honestly see this being used a lot for people who refuse to pay or don't want to contribute to the DT problem but still want to max their gear out. It incentivizes hunting for items and putting in the effort while also making sure it's not too easy to add stats. Tell me what you guys think?
