viridia??
Are you saying that it does not drop for Viridia? I will switch to Oran then. Thanks, Cyane.

Are the drop rates the same for Soul Booster on all the IDs (Redria, Oran, Viridia)? I've been killing Gibbles almost nonstop on Viridia for a couple of days now and Soul Booster still hasn't dropped. I've gotten 3 Photon Drops from Gibbles so far.

Not according to this. It still says they cost 10 DTs.

Alright, go ahead and lock this thread. It served its purpose anyway.

That's good you want to improve Midori, it's good you're not closed minded, I bet you watched videos on how not to be closed minded on things! Perhaps videos on how to be open minded!
When I said you play like a HUcast with buffs I meant to incline that you're selfish. HUcasts are naturally a selfish class because they cant heal others (other than using Star Atomizers) and they play for themselves. You have to expect this coming from a HUcast because they got nothing else to go off of. But you, you tell us you're a great Force main yet you do nothing that a Force is meant to do. Believe me, I'm all for different play-styles, and if your play-style was a battle mage that occasionally heals, that'd be one thing, but given how you don't even heal at all is another thing entirely. Casting RA techs is not what a Force is supposed to be doing; in case you didn't notice, a FOney's job primarily is to provide support to her team. That includes the following: Resta, Anti, Reverser (Or Moons for instant resurrection), Shifta, Deband, Jellen, Zalure. Your job is to support your team, but all you do is cast RA techs and then heal only if you need it. You wont even shifta/deband if people beg you, the one thing you'd think to do regardless if people asked or not.
I've been playing FOnewm as my main for the past 10 years on this game, I am not saying I am the best FO ever, in fact, I'm probably very average, but I know how to support damn it. People dont invite Forces to deal DPS, they invite them to heal and support. If you need DPS, play a Ranger or a Hunter.
When you do play Multiplayer? I was under the assumption that you never play multiplayer because it doesn't allow you to farm materials as quickly!? I'm surprised; you must've sacrificed a ton of opportunities to obtain materials to play with people Midori.
This thread was made to chastise Saith for believing something different than you (even when he agreed with you on numerous occasions). Like, the very instant you made this extremely pointless thread Misombre immediately knew to ask why you created it. It's not some lucky guess, he saw through your crap.
I hope you can eventually understand that your stance on solo versus multiplayer are just as valid as anybody else's around here Midori, I will not argue to say your opinion is not just as valid, but the issue lies in your inability to accept other people's PoV on the same issue. You say solo is favored, another person says Multiplayer is favored, you insult him, he gives you logical reasoning for his argument, you give childish assumptions and loaded questions, so much so that an entire PM group was started just so you would be able to discuss it in detail, yet you STILL could not do that without A.) Insulting the person you were arguing against repeatedly, and B.) Insulting the mediator that brought you there in the first place.
Some one please shut this stupid thread down before I blow a gasket. For weeks I've been reading and coming up with ways that I could try to understand where you're coming from Midori, I was the one, sitting around a group of people thinking of ways to maybe make sense of what you are saying, but it's the unfortunate truth that what you are saying is nothing but rude remarks and nonstop insults and flamatory remarks on some one's intelligence. You are the closed minded one because you could not even let a single second pass by in a fair and just argument without swinging your fists and blocking out every ounce of full blown proof tossed your way. You want a valid argument that's on topic Midori? You want some one to give you a fair, open minded analysis on whether Solo or Multiplayer is favored over the other with a closing statement to this pointless and incredibly insulting thread? Well here it is Midori, here's your argument:
Deuces, I'm out.
Mods, please don't get auroboro in trouble for anything he said. I'm not upset at all.
But yeah, you haven't played with me. I use support techs often. The only time I wouldn't use them is they are a waste to use. Sometimes I won't use Jellen and/or Zalure on weak enemies because it's slower than just killing them outright. You need to ask yourself why support techs are good. A truly good player would understand every tech and know when to use and when not to use them. If you can stunlock an enemy and kill him in 4 hits, what is the point of Jellen? The monster never even gets a chance to attack, so what is the point of reducing its attack power? I think a Force who does what is best to help the party clear the quest faster, is better than one who just mindlessly spams support techs, when they could be doing so much more to help out.
As for the solo vs multiplayer thing, I was trying to ask about items only, not comparing everything in general. I know that multiplayer is basically better for everything, except for items. Items is pretty much the one and only advantage for solo. I just wanted Saith to understand that. You are doing the same thing and making it a general comparison, instead of strictly comparing them for items.
Multiplayer is better for everything but items. Do you agree with this?

Not like you'd have much people wanting to play with you anyways given how selfish your play-style is.
Oh sorry, was I not supposed to mention that? Yeah see unlike everybody else here, I'm not afraid to be blunt.
You suck as a FO Midori. Plain and simple. If your end goal actually is multiplayer, then you might wanna get to work on actually acting like a FO instead of a HUcast with buffs and Resta.
And before you start to shift this off like I'm starting drama, this entire thread was created as a verbal assault on a singular person in order to boost your ego and condescending attitude towards that person and all others who have a similar opinion. Sorry (I'm really not), but you deserve this.
Edit: If this gets deleted or hidden, so be it. But you're not clever.
You don't know me. I don't think we have played together or talked much, so I don't see how you would anyway. When you say I play like a Hucast with buffs and resta, do you mean that I only do melee with my Force and rarely use techs? Maybe we did play together in CCA or TTF or something, where melee generally beats techs. And even then, I use both and switch during the quest.
When I do play multiplayer, I get along fine with people. The only time there could be a problem is if someone else causes a problem, and I call them out on it. Like if 3 players are waiting at a boss warp and the 4th player goes afk or something. Multiplayer is supposed to be about working together, helping each other, not slowing other people down.
This thread was made to help show someone that people who care about items actually exist.
Do you play Force too? I'd love to play with you sometime, so you can give me advice on areas I can improve on. I'm open minded so if I actually do suck, all you would have to do is explain why, and I can learn from it and stop sucking.
If I am wrong about anything or if there is a better way to do something, please tell me. This goes for everyone, not just you. I want to be right and I want to improve, so any help is appreciated.

reached the point i don't really care when playing with others D:
Only have like 1 item i really want atm
I'm envious of you. This is actually one of the biggest reasons why I work so hard to finish perfecting my characters. I want to reach a point where I have every item I want, so I can play multiplayer and not mind getting less items. I can't fully enjoy multiplayer now because there is always a thought in the back of my head, reminding me that I could be making progress much faster from soloing.
If we are unable to get the GMs to fix the item balance between solo and multiplayer, it will suck, but at least on a personal level, I will have solved the problem by perfecting my characters. Since I am making money stupid fast, it should only take me a few more months to finish. In other words, PSO endgame to me, is multiplayer.

I didn't say anyone was doing things wrong, or that their form of fun was wrong, or that some part of the spectrum simply doesn't exist. I said 'fun' was a subjective thing and falls along a spectrum, and acknowledged all parts of the spectrum. I didn't say it was a popularity contest or a majority vote. I didn't say anything about facts vs opinions.
This is your second post already in the thread indirectly trying to strawman me and spout libel. I've been lenient so far, but I won't allow a third.We agree that fun is subjective. That's good.
So you understand that I care very much about improving my character, and that finding items is important and fun to me? All I'm asking is that you acknowledge that. Feel free to judge me as much as you want for it. Just know that players with this kind of thinking actually exist.
-
Yep. You can't explain it. How much fun something is, is a matter of opinion.

If you really think that the amount of fun someone has with various aspects of a video game is a matter of fact, rather than opinion, then please go ahead and explain it to a simpleton like me.

This question is kind of a false dichotomy, everyone cares about items to some extent. In any hack n slash grind n loot game, the loot is important of course, but the game has to be carried by the core gameplay mechanics first and foremost. If one only cares about finding items and ignores the core gameplay mechanics, then there is no good 'game' there to play. If loot alone is expected to carry the game, then everyone just ends up playing stock market simulators like the old Diablo3 Auction House. Loot is nice and cool, and everyone does care about it, but its not so simple as a yes/no thing. It's a spectrum ranging from 'don't care at all' to 'items are nice but don't really affect my ability to get enjoyment out of the game' to 'I need to be find some benchmark of cool loot amounts to keep me interested in this old game' to 'I'm only here to have dick-measuring contests over virtual items on the internet' (and everything else in between). Everybody likes shiny things (that is human nature), but games are about having fun and how important items are to someone's ability to get enjoyment out of the game is an entirely subjective matter.
Sure. Some people care or don't care more than others. There are all types of opinions and preferences out there on everything. So that also means that some people play PSO with their main drive being items. To them, finding items is very important and it's the main reason they play. They have fun by improving and becoming good at something. This kind of player exists.
You can judge them and say they are playing the game wrong or try to convince them that they would have more fun another way, but this kind of player does exist. That's all I'm trying to say.
And even if I was the only player on the server who felt this way, I would still exist. I have the opinion that PSO is a good game, even when I just play to improve my character. This isn't a popularity contest or a majority vote. People like me exist, and you should at least be able to understand that much. There is a difference between facts and opinions.

I agree. It sounds like you are like me, in that you care about items but you also care about fun, and it sucks having to choose between the two because the item balance for solo and multiplayer is terrible. Ideally, we could have both at the same time. That's why as a community it's important that we keep pushing the GMs to improve the item balance between solo and multiplayer.

So my question will be the following, what is the true purpose of this poll ?
This may be hard to believe but try to follow me on this. I asked someone if solo or multiplayer would be better for finding items, and they acted like just the mere thought of a player caring about items is absurd. I couldn't manage to talk any sense into them so I thought maybe this poll would help get them to realize that this type of player does exist.
-
This is just a simple poll to see what percentage of the community cares about finding items in PSO. Please answer honestly.

My goal is to be the best FOnewearl on the server. I haven't perfected my FOnewearls yet, so I am working hard on getting the rest of the gear. Once that is done, I can play multiplayer, play with friends, help others, figure out faster ways to clear quests, etc. and just enjoy playing the game in general.

What does this mean? I didn't fully understand your last post either.
