  1. my very first was DOS on the PC. I played games like Commander Keen, Jazz Jackrabbit, etc. It was pretty cool!
  2. Why, Berserk of Course. Any man worth his salt would enjoy such deep and meaningful storytelling.
  3. What are those containers all our weapons, armor and uniques come in anyways?
  4. Ace is a Moniker I use for my streaming on twitch, under the username Ace_Gaming_LPs, which in turn came from youtube originally with the LPs meaning longplays. RestrictedWings however, is a more personal feeling I've got looming over me these days. Feels like i can't go anywhere, do anything, and that I'm bound in more ways than one. At least I have PSOBB U, eh?
  5. A big statue of Doc' Jean Carlo Montague in the spawn area. He IS a genius you know! ha-ha-ha.
  6. Some Very Warm memories from playing PSO. Look at all of these great people!
  7. Hmmm.. Well, Rag Rappy Appears in EP 1 in Forest 1 & 2. So does Al Rappy, which is the rare variant of that. Then there's El Rappy which appears in Ultimate Forest 1 & 2 and the Rare Variant of that in Ultimate Forest 1 & 2 called Pal Rappy. Love Rappy Pops up in VR Temple Alpha and Beta- and I think there's a rare variant that's seasonal in VR Temple Alpha and Beta during easter called Egg Rappy and a Hallo Rappy for Halloween in VR Temple Alpha and Beta. I think there's also a St. Rappy for Christmas as well, VR Temple Alpha & Beta. Then in Episode 4 we get Sand Rappy in Crater and the Rare Variant Del Rappy. And thank goodness I've played Episode 3, I also think there's a card in Episode 3 called Toy Rappy. I think that card was a special event thing. oh, and then there's a 1 in 10 rate for giant variants of rappies to appear.
  8. There are many times where I have been with a particular online game community, only to feel intense estrangement. Puzzle Pirates, Maplestory, WoW, Guild Wars 1`& 2, etc. But I've finally found the place I feel like I fit in. on 5/27/2019 at 5:47 PM, I started playing PSOBB for the very first time, and I fell in love with the game. It is now 8/28/2020, and I have never been happier with an online game/online community. PSOBB SUNG to me with it's unique OST and made me addicted with it's gameplay system that required actual thought and effort. No way to cheese it, only hard work and good times listening to Mother Earth of Dishonesty or Image of Hero. Those synth tunes are like butter to my ears. PSOBBU did something no other game could- It partially restored my dulled sense of wonder. Even after beating episode 1 a few times, each new difficulty had something new around the corner and I was and still am excited to learn. Episode 2 and 4 blew me away so much that I elected to seek out episode 3 so i could play it and that made me all the more happy beating that game, listening to tower of caelum or IDOLA the holy fruits. (Pollux is HARD!) But what I could have never been prepared for, was how beautiful this community would be and how deeply it would connect me with others. Even striking up casual conversation, people I knew would be like "woah, PSO? I haven't played that in years!" and then I'd be building new gaming groups who loved PSO just as much as I did! I'd never had that before! Most people would make an excuse to not play something online, but this one was irresistible. it literally made me gaming buddies. It literally even helped one of my friends spend more time with his brother who lives far away from him. I never knew that PSO would help me connect families back together. and the community online was and still is fantastic to a tee. Sometimes I still can't fathom how much fun i have randomly hunting around and then having a buddy or 3 connect in and show me the ropes or blast Ob lilies away with me. (I hate ob lilies, I'm a RAmar.) I had some hard times getting used to/learning the upper echelons of things, but now I'm familiar with what PDs are, and how to make crazy cool weapons and what quests to do- how to feed your mags and how to be good at the game. I'm sure I'm not the best, but I've improved so much over the year. I even got into all of the main and side story quests which were so cool to play! Unearthing the mysteries of ragol was a pleasure absolutely unbound by any conventional gaming notions. I doubt I could have gotten there without your help and the folks who were generous enough to bring me along on more of the dangerous missions. I was so proud getting to stage 5 on WOI! that's my personal best so far at Level 148. Any time I played, everyone was fun to be around with those silly icon chat messages (which inspired me to make my own) and were super patient and great to work with. Every fight felt like a team effort, and at times, I was kinda teaching too 😮 To the devs and forum admins/mods, I thank you for making such a great game and community to be in. To the community of Ultima PSOBB, I also thank you. You are singlehandedly the greatest bunch of folks to be around. I want to especially thank folks like Trigunman, Nills, Saber+7, Clappy, Rivaul, Nessly, Amaranthine, drdingus, C01D1, Kotta, applesaucin, jdhenry124 and R-78 on the forums and in game for everything. Thank you, thank you, Thank you. I also want to thank these folks who i fought with bravely on the surface and underground of ragol: Relmitos, Laure, Demi, Android71, Xander94, Pthalo, A.J., Val, Marn, Princess, Maverick, MecaZora, FireHawk, NOLAftw, CAT, Cute, leyfon, Millie, Stray*, Ztriderr, Kalira, Minty, FFmaster-, Emizzle, Mercy, Tyrone, ShogunGX, SJCL, Yris, Ill Gilly, Sam, Xena and Megumi. you taught me everything I need to know to be a great RAmar. and lastly, thank you everyone. I'm now a die hard fan who reads the lore, listens to the music and remixes, and has played the entire series and I couldn't be happier. And it's all thanks to PSOBB Ultima. To everyone who reads this: I can still see the light.
  9. awesome! Looks like I'm gonna have to work for Power/hp mats
  10. I just recently maxed out on mats From what i can see, it's Pow: 98 Mind: 30 EVP: 51 LCK: 13 HP : 34 TP: 0
  11. I could never seem to hit Hildetorr with my asteron striker special.
  12. Oh, No worries Nills. I have tons of fun playing with you. You're damn good at what you do. I was confused for a bit though, haha! I think the overall recommendation of sticking with my snow queen until i find a better HIT ver is good. DOH! okay now that I didn't know about. Really clears things up. Not sure, I'd have to check later. Probably in the 60-70 range. I know someone gave me an absolute buttload of pow mats. Man, that's gotta be a spooky feeling to come back to, for sure. but all in all, I'm just glad to have what I have. Oh MAN, i knew something was off with IDS. Glad you set me straight, I'll try a bunch of Mysteries of the void today and see how that goes. That's the one where the lock is hidden on the topmost right corner, right? I'm somewhat familiar with it, but I was told that IDS was better. I'll see what I can do for the units and a better spread needle too- those both sound like good prerogatives . Thanks for all the help ay? I'll definitely use all the info provided to try and improve myself as best I can.
  13. Hi, I've been playing a RAmar for the longest time now and i'm feeling slightly outclassed when it comes to playing ultimate with others my exact level. In fact, I had someone else gain more EXP than i did while doing RF, starting at the same level somehow. Then i took a closer look and found out that I was doing like, 100-400 less damage than they were per hit. Yikes. So I'm hoping someone can tell me what exactly is going wrong- I feel like perhaps I should be doing better. I'm level 146, Redria ID ATP 1521 EFR 22 DFP 610 EIC 22 MST 541 ETH 27 ATA 284 EDK 16 EVP 1001 ELT 8 LCK 66 and for the moment, I'm using Weapons Ultima Reaper +7 0/25/40/0/0 Spread Needle +32 0/0/0/35/0 Mille Marteaux +12 10/0/0/0/0 Bringer's Rifle +9 0/0/0/0/50 Currently Equipped: Asteron Striker 0/40/0/0/0 Frozen shooter 25/0/30/0/35 Armor & Units Thirteen V502 Centurion/ability Centurion/HP Heavenly/Battle Tripolic Shield Mag Pioneer Level 200 IQ 200 Synchro 120% Def 5 Pow 147 Dex 48 Mind 0 I'm currently leveling so I can use the shield i worked for, "From the Depths" and "Virus Armor: Lafuteria"- I've also been working on collecting a photon booster so I can upgrade my frozen shooter into a snow queen. I've also been on the lookout for a proof of sonic team to upgrade my Spread needle. But aside from all that, I feel like I'm just not doing enough damage and getting consistently outclassed by other people my level. I've also had a bit of a hard time collecting photon Drops, which I suppose I don't exactly have a knack for finding. I tried IDS a few times, but that didn't really pay out. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me- I'd really like to get good at the game.
  14. How much for the Photon Booster?
  15. If I wanted to see how much EXP i had, how would i go about it? would i be able to see how much i need until the next level? Is there an EXP bar addon?
  16. This deal has been concluded! Please close, thanks!
  17. Nvm! Got what I needed.
  18. Thank you all so much for your support guys. I'm glad you feel the same- to tell the truth I was a little afraid that I was gonna get ostracized for not wanting to TTF/RT all the time. In fact, I think I might have found my answer to this issue. Had a great Vanilla group yesterday on EP2. I just called the room "Hunting" and we all just ran at the Vanilla experience of Episode 2. The OST in EP2 is so bombastically well done that I think I, in a bit of a guilty conscience, may enjoy it a bit more than EP1. However, I've done EP1 like a bajillion times. Maybe the key to finding a good group is just doing whatever the heck you want and naming it something cool so people will come in.
  19. Trying to enjoy PSO in my own, weird way.

      Ahoy sailor

  20. It's nice to meet you all. I play as Ace on the server, been around here and there, level 123 Ramar. I know that's not level 200, but hear me out. Lately I feel like everything's a rush to get to the end- lots of people are doing TTF or RF and that's totally fine, don't get me wrong. If someone wants to play those quests and powerlevel, by all means, do so. But I've never been interested in TTF or RF which, in essence is a condensed run-through of the episodes. Sure the EXP rates are great and the drops are wonderful on Ultimate, but I feel like it's the only quest anyone is ever interested in anymore. I couldn't get someone to do one of the Phantasmal world quests on Ep2 if it was to save my life. and Regular Non-mission hunting seems to always get someone who wants to drag me into TTF. And then after that it becomes a barrage of "I've got a billion level 200 characters, I can solo ultimate this and that, you HAVE to play the game this certain way and chain PB or donate Photons or else you're not good at the game, etc, etc." I mean today I got roped into RF without thinking and beforehand, the only part of EP2 i had experienced was the jungle and VR missions. and I thought those were super cool- I mean blow me away awesome. I couldn't stop listening to the jungle soundtrack. But then today I got rushed through EP2 in a quest, fought Olga Flow amongst other really cool bosses (like Gal Gryphon) and then when we finished the first thing i heard was "want me to go onto a level 200 character so i can powerlevel you?" I had to tell her what i tell lots of people who ask- I'm just not interested in powerleveling and repeatedly bashing my controller against my head because we're doing TTF for the Millionth time. and then not knowing what people mean when they start using acronyms I'm unfamiliar with. I think it was like a few weeks ago i logged off despondently when I was talked down to for not knowing about damage canceling on Dark Falz. I felt really bad about the whole thing and I didn't log on again for a few days because I was being chastised for trying to play the game well and then getting snarked at when i messed up. It feels like the only way I can play my favorite game anymore is alone on solo mode, because even if I try to play co-op with the missions I want to do, either nobody comes or the first thing I hear is "lets switch to TTF/RF". I admit my weapons aren't the most amazing and my mag isn't the top tier mag of all time, but I enjoyed worked on them and putting in the time to get those items. And I really liked playing the Gov Quests and doing side missions and the custom quests added in. Hopefully I'll find some more like minded people in the future, but it kinda sucks that everywhere I go, I feel like I'm one bad agreement away from being railroaded into doing another powerleveling quest.
