    aww, you make a clown feel so fuzzy and warm on the inside, thanks homie 💗

  2. Whoever is farming alot of these, I will buy your Centurion/Arms en masse 9 PD's a piece, 5 for 40 PD's, or 10 for 70. I plan on giving these to new players throughout the year.

     

    If you know a new player who needs c/arms I'll buy it for them.

     

    Just post their hunter name down below, or DM it to me, and I'll give them what they need.

  4. What are your launcher settings set to? Is your resolution set to what your monitor supports? Are you running an RTX card? Is reduced CPU performance enabled under General? Does your PC have any issues running other games? Do you have all DirectX runtimes, 9,10,11,12, etc? Also, have you tried setting PSOBB to your anti-virus / firewall exclusions? What are your PC specs?

    Yeah. But we have no idea whether he plays on solo or multi. So, since the poor guy is already using transalte, it's probably better not to make things even more complicated. Was just trying to explain why 1/1137 doesn't mean each 1137 kills u get 1 drop (even assuming 100% DAR).

    True

    There are 3 main different conceptions of probability in the literature. One that I don't find very intuitive but that is widely used to explain this type of case is the Popperian one. According to this view, 1/1137 means that when you push the occurrences of something into infinity, on average, event X happens that many times (a more typical example is that when u flip a coin an infinite amount of times, tails/heads p = 0.5/0.5)

    PSO doesn't have a pity system, that is, you're not guaranteed to get an item after you kill n amount of monsters. As such, you may get the item sooner or later. 1/1137 is just what should typically happen. But what should typically happen doesn't always happen.

     

    TL;DR 1/1137 does not mean you are getting an item after killing a monster 1137 times. You may get it later or sooner. It's a bit unfortunate that you didn't get it yet but it is what it is.

    Another variable that completely affects probability in this case, is DAR. It has to pass that check first before it even rolls for the 1/1137.

    Looking to buy a few items with DTS:

     

    Cheap Excalibur(Hit doesn't matter)

    Cheap Dark Flow (Hit doesn't matter)

    Cheap SJS/TJS (Hit doesn't matter)

     

     

     

     

    Thanks all!

    I have 3 excals and one Lame you can choose from:

     

    Excalibur 0 hit - 7 PD's

    Lame D'Argent [30/0/0/0|25] - 10 DTS
    Excalibur [30/0/0/0|20] - 15 DTS

    Excalibur [0/0/100/100|80] - 100 DTS

     

    Dark Flow: You won't find any of these cheap. You may or may not find a 3x 50% at the lowest of 250 DTS, but most DF's average between 300-450 DTS. Be ready to drop alot on these.

     

    I have a TJS 0/100/0/100 [0] for 60 DTS

  9. I didn't get to play it on Dreamcast until after I played it on Xbox. Was still there pretty early though! This game holds all the splitscreen memories, in an age where nobody plays splitscreen anymore. Even Halo Infinite doesn't have splitscreen. A game series where splitscreen has always been paramount.  PSU, nor PSO2 have splitscreen which is crazy to me. Bring back splitscreen play!

    Sure, I'm about to hop on

  12. I understand where you're coming from. "Hucast and Humar have PR's". Not only does MF have slightly less ATP, so does both female hunter classes compared to the male counterparts, so I get it. However there's one thing to really think about, Hucast doesn't have lvl 20 S/D, neither does Humar. Hunewearl has access to lvl 20 S/D and that can be game changing for solo plays which could ruin the balance. The only logic here, is that Hucaseal gets access to MF or balance buff Dual Birds, as they have access to lvl 7 S/D just like Humar. Not only would that make more sense balance-wise, but also makes sense in theory since Hucaseal has the most ATA out of all the Hunters.

     

    Everyone: We need more balance for all the other Hunters
    Hucast: Balance?

    Everyone: Actually giving other players more flavor

    Hucast: Nah fuck that pewpewpew

    The server population is in decline for many reasons, I believe the most pertinent are:
     

    •Loss of interest during off-time when there's no live event.

    •The staff is unwilling to make any changes or listen to the community.

    •PSO2 siphoned away many players when it was released last year — PSO2NGS is about to release this month and be a redux of that.

    Possible solutions:

    •More mini-events; Mio's mini-event, hit events, forum mini-events like the one from summer 2018, or even staff-sponsored Duja-style mini-events with a winnable prize would be cool. (Staff members: if you're unwilling to conduct these events, perhaps we need new staff members that are willing to do so. ;))
    •Rotating 5x exp and green names. Maybe something like a designated 5x exp or green names weekend would help to keep things fresh (especially when there's no live event).
    •I'm a major proponent for HHs happening more often — it's a simple solution to consistently drive up user traffic. It's an ez win in almost every way imaginable.
    •I've seen staff members say that we don't need any more new weapons added to Ultima.. Ok, understandable. But what about units/frames/barriers?

    Ah, this is basically the best TL:DR to my comment. Also I love the green name every weekend, that's great motivation for people to play on the weekends, including seasoned players. As for HH, I don't think it needs to happen more often, it just needs scheduling. I feel like HH twice a day, every other day would be great. Once for the states, and again for the east globe players. I also stand-by the mini events. Attractive to new players, and veterans alike. Also, hit events would be fantastic so that new players can upgrade their gear without having to obtain DT's, which is a ridiculously hard thing to do when you're new.

    The server is realistically only active during events, more specifically in Decemberish time of the year.

    There's multiple reasons for this. For starters, that's when the most OP drop of the year happens. When many people who think that one item is their ticket for being the only way to actually accomplish anything on the server due to enemy buffs, or their ticket to sell and buy all the gear they need as the price of that one item is absolutely stupid, but also understandable. Also, event drops are really the only exclusives in the game that just completely outclass vanilla weapons (for the most part) so people ofc, will hop on to farm for them so that they can (yet again) be capable of farming buffed enemies. So it makes sense people hop on at these times of the year for a make-a-wish.

    This server had a lot of people on a few years back. So what do we need to do? What can we do?

    This one's pretty simple I feel. People got bored. They more than likely feel like they've farmed everything already. It also doesn't help everytime people log in, every damn room is locked. Don't worry, they'll be back.. eventually.

    There are so many good ideas in that topic, however Soly is a one man army, what can you expect him to do honestly.

    Hire Development/Staff, ez clap

    New players on the server the most I see them last is 1-2 weeks.

     

    And again, we're back to the buffed enemies. Imagine, you start up Ultima, you hop in, you play a little and then suddenly you get power leveled like someone injected you with with the PSO's most powerful steroids. You make it to level 100+ but then you quickly realize, you haven't fed your mag in god knows how long, and the only items you've managed to acquire was a DB saber and that guy who inserted 100kg of sugar in your veins suddenly vanishes. Now, you try ultimate on your own for the first time and can't even hit the enemy, and then just get blasted by a Bartle. You shamelessly have to keep asking people for help just so you can complete dragon on ultimate mode.
     

    TL:DR: Bartle too stronk, finna get whacked 

     

    (It's primarily a joke) I know that only ep2 Ultimate mobs are buffed.

     

    And you need to let the low levels learn the mechanics of the game and enjoy the lower levels before you just fingerblast them into ultimate mode with no gear.

    Partially what I may believe in is that those who do still play only play in small groups and outright ignore others, that's not very welcoming in my opinion. I also find it hard to come on and play because I see 4-5 rooms locked doing a quest by themselves as well.

    Yup, hard agree.

    It's kinda sad, I find Ultima to be a "home" and now it just feels dead.

    I kinda disagree here. It doesn't feel dead to me, it just feels like it could be more alive. As long as Ultima still has this amazing community, I personally don't think it will die anytime soon.

     

    16 hours ago, Sir Rendlan said:

    So what can we do as the community to help? Where can we bring the activity?

    Well, we can start by adding an actual development team instead of just throwing Soly at everything. Like here Soly, just do almost all the coding and development for a 20 year old game while maintaining an actual life. Maybe then will all the server ideas get implemented. Ofc, after everything that's broken gets fixed first *cough* DMC

    What it really needs is for @777 and @Prosock to stop farting everywhere, like jeez, you guys fuckin stimk.

     

    Aaaand not as many locked games and no DMC and a shit ton of love.

    There's a pattern that I've also noticed that most certainly helped drop player count these past few years. The release of NA PSO2 and PSU Clementine. The exact dates those both dropped, specifically PSO2, there was a pretty big tank in PSOBB server pop across the board. We'll most certainly put it to the test on June 9th, when NGS launches.

    While it can be cool to push the limits of what is possible within a quest Ultima has a lot of quests that are simply too much monster count wise. This ruins hunt variety. Ephinea attempts to keep their quests in check with Sega quests monster count wise to some degree so that people aren't spamming only one quest that's too broken. I had never played or at least don't remember playing Intelligent Defense System until some time earlier this year. The quest is "cool" in that it's definitely very different from some of the more modest custom quests and Sega quests, but it's monster count makes it silly. There's no reason to ever hunt Baranz anywhere else. It pretty much insures that you get whatever a Baranz may be dropping while also ruining other quests for the Baranz hunt. There's more examples of this.

    There's actually a decent way around this. Have a set of weekly quests that get DAR/RDR Boosts to incentivize different quest hunting. Would also be a great alternative to HH.
