No, that would be totally broken. It's like you can swap DM/DF/DB/PB for free if you can "cancel" PGF combinations and still get all items back.
Would it really be too terribly broken? All it would do is make it more convenient to switch out a DW instead of trying to find someone to swap with on the forums. Yes, you could use the PGF on another weapon to swap %s, but you’d have to buy 30 hit again for the new base item (more DT purchasing). Could also make it refund only the PGF and not the base item or you could just make DWs exempt from this exchange altogether if you felt it necessary.
Another idea would be some kind of exchange/recycle shop like pso2 has for junky rares. Grinders/materials for low rarity and easily found items, PDs for higher rarity and more difficult to find items, and multiple PDs or even a sphere(s) for higher value event items like PBC, PoST, Stellar Shard, Soul Booster, Cent/Battle, etc... Something like this would take a bit of collaboration to determine prices and everything but would be very rewarding considering most drops and even event drops just rot in our banks.

I don't think it is possible to make it a game combination
( Yasminkov 9000M + Demon Core = Yasminkov 9000M [Demon's] )
so would most likely be a quest feature if implemented.I wouldn't mind honestly. It's like the player wastes a special already. GM can change the special for 10 DTs, so why not with the core as well.
If it was up to me, I'd have some combinations reversible just like RR costumes and Lavis series:
Hundred Souls + Soul Booster = Excalibur
Psycho Bridge + Proof of Sonic Team = Dark Bridgesince to me it is totally fair that you can get back a previous version of a weapon by paying an extra combiner.
I am just afraid people will end up using a combiner by mistake on an already upgraded weapon or think it would upgrade the weapon once more thus waste 2 combiners for nothing (and I know it will happen).
What about a quest where you can revert any combined weapon or armor to its previous state? Could even have it refund the combiner. The grinders and add slots used on the item would be lost in the process since that would be probably be a pain to refund. This would prevent that scenario of accidentally losing 2 combiners from using them manually on the equipped item.

Bump - more ss added

Not sure if anyone has brought this idea up before. It'd be cool to give out prizes/rewards at the end of each event to show extra appreciation for those who participated (would also get more people to participate since they know they wouldn't leave the event empty handed). It would be kinda how SEGA did and still does events in PSO games. If you can track kills on certain mobs that drop the high rarity event items or track the total amount of high rarity event item drops themselves (banners), those could be used to gauge what prize milestones were reached for the end of the event to see how many rewards we get (everyone gets all of the rewards from the achieved milestones).
This is just an example: first milestone is 3 photon spheres, 2nd is 2 weeks of 5x exp after event ends, 3rd is 2 weeks of green names after event ends, 4th one is choice of an event item of a certain tier, 5th one choice of a higher rarity event item (if it is a weapon it would have 50% in 2 stats of your choosing each), the last one is free 80 hit and special (if applicable) added to any weapon you have. Just an idea spice things up

I just requested Larva to make it usable by Forces (so back to All classes).
As for the range nerf, here is a picture of the thing
Is it that big of a nerf? Worth quiting the server? I don't think so, but you tell me...
Peace & love everyone please...
The nerf does suck, but it isn't the main issue. It is how this all unfolded. I don't think most people (myself included) would have bothered farming this gun had we known from the beginning that it would not have rifle range. I would have spent all of those HHs running weather effects or RocT farming Centurion/Battle instead of running MotV for SS. So now, instead of having 100+ dts worth of Serene Swans (Yes, I have 10 or 11 of these things in my bank) I have a bunch of undesirable paper weights worth a couple of pds. You guys have a golden opportunity to make this right. Its as simple as compensating people with a fair trade-in for other Summer event items or a fair amount of DTs. I just lost over 100 DTs worth of item value because of this whole thing, of course I'm a little bit upset about it.

I honestly think we all want the same thing here, I personally know how much work goes with maintaining private servers and yes it is impossible to please everyone I run hundreds of servers and have ran my own private servers in the past where I did it all myself. Everyone wants a voice and all good ideas should be heard. Not all ideas can be executed for many reasons, but if as a community we come to a consensus I think all efforts should be made in order to facilitate such requests.
We are a passionate bunch, we play here because we choose to, @Larva created the playground in which many of us can fall back in love with the game we remember and cherish, but its easy to see the burn out. We have all been there what starts off as a passion project becomes something much bigger, people with different backgrounds and beliefs, ideas and opinions get involved and before you know you hardly recognize your original vision or even why you put up with it all especially when it spills over into your life.
A shout out is required here, @Larva, @serverus, @R-78, @Soly, @Fyrewolf5 and all the other staff and veteran players that make this possible we as a community appreciate everything you do but we KNOW we can help you make this an even better place to play the game we all know and love. So please lets all stop the fighting, lets try and forget the past or at least learn from it and the way things were and focus on how things can improve and we can improve as a community, this can be a wonderful place again. Cheers.
Yes, most of us are here because we choose to be. I personally really enjoy the custom quests and gear, as well as the community. The staff has done a lot of work to try and keep the game fresh with the new quests and items. We only ask to be heard and treated fairly. This whole fiasco with Serene Swan has really left some of us feeling completely ripped off. When an item gets added to the game at the start of an event and then changed 3/4 of the way through, especially after being told it would not be changed, it is going to ruffle some feathers. I have personally wasted the first 3 weeks of this event on hunting this item. Would anyone have a problem with allowing us to exchange any Serene Swans drops we've gotten for another event item of similar rarity/value such as Centurion/Battle, Psycho Black Crystal or Soul Booster? Just getting my opinion on the matter out there. Thanks for reading.
**We do appreciate all of the work the staff does, even if we criticize decisions or make a lot of suggestions. Typically we do this to try and help the server grow because we want to stay here and keep having fun!!

I may be off base.... However, I recommend for the people like myself who spent almost the entire event trying to land SS that we be able to exchange these for other event items with drop rates that are very similar. SS was a horrible weapon to hunt and its nerf made it pretty useless imo (Its Ranger only now the only class that does not need itas that class have Demon yas 9K and Charge Yas 9K). People spent alot of time and DTs and PDs finding then maxing this item I think an item exchange would go a long way in soothing the community. Im curious to know how the community feels. Cheers.
Same here I spent at least 90% of my time hunting Serene Swan.
Depending on if this is actually the final product with the current change to SS I would like to be able to exchange each one for either Centurion/battle, PBC or Soul Booster. I would have zero complaints if we could do something like that. I could have farmed 200 Dts worth of C/battles with the amount of time I sank into these SS runs 😩

Another idea would be to reduce speed and combo lock the weapon.
To clarify, something is gonna be done to the weapon.
I have a question. If SS gets nerfed, which it was stated earlier in the event that it would not be changed, isn't that a little unfair for people that have spent time hunting them since that would devalue the item or make it totally worthless? I have personally spent much of the event hunting one with hit. It'd be nice to know what's going on so I can either keep hunting SS or focus on other worthwhile items like Cent/Battle. Thanks.

Beg your pardon? Speak for your own generation. Still working on a 0/x/x/0/x Panzer Faust, let alone my first Dark Weapon or STA or costume. :V
This. Kind sucks for those of us that have been here a couple of years to be working on this. No matter how much you "grind" RNG can be brutal here since the game-breaking weapons and armor are huntable once a year with terrible drop rates whilst being insanely overpriced.

Still looking for these

Alrighty, no worries.

I'll take 3 Halo Rappy Souls assuming you still have some

Maybe you could give certain Event items like Cent/Battle boosted drop rates from different mobs that changes on a weekly basis. For example, one week Falz has boosted drop rate, next week Epsilon has a boosted drop rate, then Olga Flow, then Kondy, etc...
Another idea could be to give some event items a boosted drop rate for all mobs that drop the item, cycling through different items each week of the event. PBC boosted drop rate one week, SS next week, Soul Booster, Cent/Battle for the final week. (just using summer items as an example since its current). It would give some form of variety to the quests people run since they'd have some incentive each week to do something different.
P.S. maybe, possibly something like this could happen for the rest of the event?? (or at least boost Cent/Battle the last week)

No. I'm not sure you can even do that with DTs, but I'd guess yes. We had an event recently that added specials to weapons if you had an orange weapon of the same animation with the special you needed, but that is past, and it still costed 30 PDs.
I didn't know if there was an in-game quest to change them I was trying to search the forums for it but can't find anything.
-
Is there any way to change the special on normal weapons like a laser? I had one with 70 hit drop but it has burning and I would prefer hell on it if that's possible without spending dts.

*Bump - Some new event items added.
-
Probably been mentioned before but since we end up with tons of the same items clogging up our banks after hunting for one with hit and/or perfect stats, would it be possible to add a quest to scrap extra items for pds, grinders, materials or something like the event cards that are redeemable for adding %s?

Congratulations guys for the confirmed drops so far.
Here are some revelations about the drop tables to save you some pain:
-
Centurion/Battle drops on ultimate from
- Dark Falz: Purplenum and Redria (Whitill was removed this year for people willing to hunt Red Rings)
- Olga Flow: Pinkal and Viridia
- Kondrieu: Oran and Yellowboze
- Epsilon: Skyly and another ID
- All boss location drops have been made about twice easier than last year
- The second section ID for Epsilon has a slightly better drop rate than Skyly.
-
Serene Swan drops on ultimate from
- Gran Sorcerer from episode II on All section IDs
- Drop rate: 1/1489
Awesome thanks so much!!

Centurion/Battle drops on ultimate from

I'd like to hunt one with hit and dark % but if its gonna be nerfed may as well stick to c/battle hunting

Hmm... 🧐 I don’t have anything really unique in game but I can offer hope 😇 Don’t spend it all in one place 🤑
**Just in case hope isn’t enough I checked my stuff. I suppose the most unique thing I’ve found is a Psycho Wand with 50 hit. I know it’s so amazing lol.

Looking for a PGF or a Dark Meteor with A. Beast, Dark, and hit. Paying 350 DTs.

**Bump** Been gone over a year sorry if prices are a little off.

Yeah, if there is a way to implement some other form of failsafe to keep people from wasting the combiners it would be the way to go. I could see, like you mentioned, someone using a Soul Booster on a Hundred Souls without knowing it will revert it back to Excalibur instead of upgrading it like they thought it might.
Perhaps change the item descriptions to say it can also be used to revert items back to their previous form. A better solution, if possible, is to add some sort of confirmation prompt when you use it. Anyone could accidentally hit use, when moving inventory around or dropping items to transfer them, while they have one of the weapons equipped and then oops you just wasted two combiners 😱
I’m sure there is a secure way to implement something like this because it would be a good quality of life improvement.
***Could make an exchange shop to swap one combiner item for a corresponding reversion item. This would prevent abuse and accidental usage of the item. I.E. trade Soul Booster for Soul Drainer or whatever name it ends up having.
