Items willing to offer up: 7 Centurion/Battles Assume some values: If C/battles were sold quick for 50 dts each, 6 battles are 300 dts. If C/battles were sold slower, maybe 60 dts (price raises to 60+ after a month), or 75+ dts (after summer 3+ months later), 6 battles could total from 360 dts to 450 dts. I'm making this topic to see if there are any extra DF's in the market wiling to be sold. EDIT: No one has messaged me in the past 3 weeks this thread was up. I don't think anyone in this server is willing to give up a dark weapon. I'll pull the thread in a few days probably. Or if you really really want to, I can try to get about 300 dts for a trade deal.

Neat stuff, he shared some nice stories from the old days. Too bad he didn't mention much about Ep 1&2, most of the depth of pso1 was in there, at least for me. If only he learned of episode 4 too, think he mentioned it once. All my memory cards from dreamcast and gamecube are corrupted/battery dead too, he must have been crazy lucky. Thanks for sharing the video Midori. Good ol days.

You still need a v101? I'll sell you one for 3 PD's.

280 pd's is 47 dts, soul booster 15 dts, 40 hit 30 dts. So he offered probably 90-95 dts total. Still offering a cent/battle for an SJS if anyone still wants to sell their SJS. I can also offer a soul booster, few dozen PD's, or 8 luck mats.

Saith, ATP math doesn't work like this does it? If I hit an enemy with the attribute % of 100% on the weapon... Say I change my excal to a hundred souls, this would give me 600 more base ATP, but with 100% attribute wouldn't that then add actually 1,200 more ATP to the stats? (I know the ATP variation is 300 for HS too, so it would be atleast an increase of 300 ATP + 300 (from 100%) ATP for low hits) I mean to say the Hundred Souls itself gives 1,600 ATP as a weapon, so 100% attribute would give the weapon 3,200 total ATP? If that's the case, I might be inclined to use hundred souls and doing strong hits of 1,400 damage and crits of 2,400ish damage rather than the excal's 1,100 strong damage hits. Sorry this weapon choice keeps bugging me. Looking at HUcaseal's damage tests from that thread http://www.phantasystaronline.net/forum/index.php?/topic/26490-damage-comparison-of-weapons-charge-me-mechs-vs-charge-vulcs-100-souls-vs-excalibur-impact-of-sues-coat-damage-calculation-included/ Hah, this is making me consider a HUneweral since they only have 70 less ATP at 200 than HUcassy, but has 20 shifta and can use Gush special. HUnewy's could be doing the damage of an Excal Special-Crit with that special alone, and her crits would be like 4k+ damage. Total insanity. And her TP would only be used for that, oh man.

Bump. So I did #1 already, I went Native/Machine. I am still unconvinced to turn it into a Hundred Souls. Hitting crit specials of 2.9k damage with excal is pretty nice, and I probably won't see that with Hundred Souls strong criticals. Its a matter of trade offs, do I want an Excal to hit risky huge damage (1.7k damage and 2.9k crits on 2nd/3rd combo) losing my health points or do I want a Hundred Souls above average strong attacks (1.4k damage and crits of 2k+) that won't miss 99% of the time?

To those of you with maxed Excals/Hundred Souls. 1. Shoulud I go Machine/Native or Machine/Dark? I kind of want to lean towards dark since they have more HP than native, but ep 2 has machine + native a lot, and it would probably help me kill those pesky zol Gibbons. Thoughts? (i'll probably just go native/machine) Also 2. I am considering hundred souls instead of excal for my HUcaseal because of the raw ATP output. I wouldn't be using special, but strong attacks are insane w/ HS and crits will be even crazier. I wouldn't have to worry about low HP from excal's berserk special too. I haven't heard a hucassy use it though.

Good analysis, now take this for thought too. Change the point of reference to yourself in the room, instead of the other 3, because it is irrelevant whether they get a drop or not, since the goal is for you alone to get an item. DAR is reduced to 25% of what it was in the original shared drop style. If the party does not hunt 4 times faster than you do solo, it is pointless to use the new drop style. As a side note, .25% of original DAR makes certain monsters horrendous to hunt. For example, if epsilon has 30% DAR originally, new style system with 4 players makes the epsilon DAR drop to 7.5% DAR. Probability is all about bell curves too. At 30% DAR people have an exponentially higher chance at getting a rare very early in their hunting cycle than a 7.5% DAR. Likewise at the left of the bell curve, people have an exponentially higher chance of not getting a rare at all through the hunting cycle if DAR drops by a magnitude of 4. Taking this to the extreme, items that have a crazy drop rate, about 1/300+, you are definitely better off hunting solo. I can't explain this completely but surely someone understands this too. This is why I was suggesting a lesser reduction in new style DAR two months ago. The only way to incentivize people to play multiplayer/new-style is to make it better than solo/old-shared-style in my opinion. We will get rares much easier, and dts will be flowing still since we need to put hit and attribute % on the new weapons. I've said what I could, and won't post anything more since i'm no longer an expert on this kind of stuff. Statistics was one of my worst and most hated math subjects (simply because it was over my head when learning this alone)

Just wondering if anyone is willing to trade their SJS for my Centurion/Battle.

Oh, well I didn't read the second post. So that wasn't libel there. Didn't know. I may even do a ticket later today just for the lulz. Also didn't see the hidden contents showing the ticket holders. That clears most of my concerns. The last thing that was irritating me was "This ends 24H after we sold min 50tickets " If i'm understanding that right, they won't do a raffle unless they get more than 50 total tickets?

I'll meet with ya whenever you hop on, thanks!

Justin, you are literally just quoting what a lottery is and how it works. You do realize that right? Lol. I have the right to complain and so I did. I never said it wasn't fair, I simply stated this is just another funny scheme to get some shekels. (not to mention there could be a high chance of collusion because we can't audit this. We can't find out how many tickets went to who, we don't know their way of drawing. Is it via random number.org or drawn physically from a hat?) To me it just screams shady and sketchy. Thanks for reading! Give me a like or subscribe at the bottom of the video, and watch the advertisement, thanks :^).

I'll buy a 50 hit demon raygun for 10 PD's or trade it. T> S-Reds Blade for it. Or a double cannon 40 machine 0 hit.

So, you are not even going to draw a winner if you and howi receive less than 50 donation tickets, which is 300 PD's from the pool of people? Sly, sly. You just keep thinking of ways to make money don't ya. I personally hate lotteries as its a scheme for the owner to profit. Hoi, capitalism.

It's active?!?! Hot dog! Haven't been checking forums since Friday was busy, well I'll be on teamspeak these days then. Anyone down to help me get our cent/battles first just PM me. Helping others will make it faster for both of us. I'll provide the Skyly character and will be doing Weather Effects quest. EDIT 6/21/2016 Centurion/Battle get. Wew lads.

I simply log in on HH's to get SJS. That's the only thing keeping me playing. And whenever an event starts I want to get an AS w/ hit, c/battle, etc.

Soly fixed the sound error by giving it some update. Not sure if its a temp fix or permanent but good luck with that volume code you were tweaking.

The alert text i'm referring to is the scrolling text at the top of Ultima Launcher: "IMPORTANT!!!!! If the game starts up with the wrong resolution or crashes instantly, reselect the resolution you had before and enable the high res HUD if it was part of your settings in the display options." (Using windows 7) Info on how it crashes: I click start game on the launcher. Game opens, and i'm in the start menu for PSOBB. "Ultima Ver .13" at bottom left, PRESS ENTER KEY. I press enter (or any button probably), and the game crashes. "psobb.exe has stopped working" Solution:Turn off SOUND in the options. It isn't BGM or global focus sound. Those are on and I can get into the game fine.

My game crashes too at the start screen. Like the alert text on launcher says "if it starts 640x480" which it did and crashed, I put the resolution back to 1920x1080 and still crashed at start. 100% sure I had 1080 resolution last time I played, and I still crash if hi-res HUD is checked/unchecked. It isn't a resolution error for me then, and I don't want to check every resolution setting but I might as well.. Edit fix: Turning off bgm/sound fixes the error. Kind of disappointing but i'll find out more later.

Bump, i'll be updating this with some things right now.

I have a few yamigarasu's, you can take one. Its a cool long blue katana, I do like the way it looks. Too bad it only hits 1 target and isn't that strong, unfortunately double sabers way out-compete the katana's in terms on damage per second. Also i'll hunt with ya sometime for things you'd want to get, like v502's, v101's, maybe an excalibur (Lame D' Argent -> Dorphon ep 4 drop) Pick your ID yet? Oran is decent for ep 4 drops: v502,v101,Lame D' Argent. Skyly is the only ID to get SJS (unsealed Tsumikiri J-Sword), the rate is 1/10,300 and 1/3,100~ during happy hour (3x rare drop rate boost) Whitill ID is for hunting Red Ring (+20 ATA) which is the best/most viable shield slot in game.

See ya Raikiri, yep I feel the same at this point. The game is fun with progression, but to me most people don't want to play together. Items are locked by time spans throughout a year, which is good to lengthen someone's experience, but also hurts you when you just want to hunt something right now. I'm close to leaving myself, but I'm going to wait for summer to get a cent/battle and then go from there. The only thing left to hunt is an SJS and heaven punishers (which needs green names and HH to be effective).

Kinda forgot to do c-mode today. Maybe tomorrow, we will see.
