PSO2 JP: Weekly Maintenance (8/15/12)
Every Wednesday, Phantasy Star Online 2 will undergo weekly maintenance regardless of whether there’s an update or not. This week’s maintenance is a little bit different in that they are going to address several major bugs that launched with the previous update.
Weekly Maintenance Times:
- Every Wednesday from 11:00 ~ 17:00 JST
- Every Tuesday from 10:00 PM ~ 4:00 AM EDT
Maintenance Contents (Not Finalized: Subject to Change)
- Address the issue where the F. Continent drop rate is low.
- Address the issue where the F. Continent enemy appearance rate is low.
- Address the issue where the F. Continent’s tornado lets characters get stuck in the air.
- Address the issue where the Quartz Dragon’s appears invisible.
- Address the issue where despite it not appearing, the Fanji (Fungi) Code Rescue Emergency trial repeats over and over.
- Address the issue where the NPC “Aki” cannot be found. (Though this occurs depending on your progress through the Matter Board)
They will correct the problems and make some adjustments in this week’s maintenance. To all who cleared the floating continent quests once, they will examine some form of an apology. They will notify us later as soon as they decide upon the contents and time this apology will go into effect.

Fighting an invisible Quartz Dragon is the hardest thing to do.

Me and a friend did 3 runs of the floating Continent, i can assure you the spawn rates and drop rates where fine – unless its only effecting specific maps.
I found an 8 star rare (3rd rare ever and I'm Lv38
) and we were fighting 6-12 spawns per wave, dread to think what its gonna be like when its 'fixed'

I've run these quests and I've seen all but two of these problems. It was particularly apparent on some free field maps where we'd run around for long periods of times with no spawns at all. The other issue they don't mention is some interrupts will have the monsters not appear or appear under the ground where you can't hit them and so there is no way to complete the interrupt. I've also seen interrupts where NPC join you, but the event never starts and no monsters spawn, but the NPC joins, has cut-ins and follows you just the same. Kinda unsettling.

I can assure you that there is something wrong with the enemy spawn rates in Floating Continent. Yes maybe it's some maps, but many I have seen have had far larger periods of time where not much has happened, compared to some other zones.

@Dnd – I see 6-12 per wave when I'm running with 1 or 2 people. the problem isn't so much the numbers but the frequency. Often times once you kill off the first set of monsters they dont ever come back or come back in much smaller numbers. like 2-4. it's not always like that but it happens fairly often.

I can assure you 3 isn't a very good number for sample size.

Wait, what? What are they apologizing for?
Ricardo

They are sorry for being sorry.

I have one and ONLY one problem that I want them to fix.
Tornado spawns.
I've done so many runs now, just to see those 3 damn red containers behind a barrier. And they tell me to find a tornado.
Well, yeah. I'm yet to see one in-game.
I even ran an experiment where I would search around one rather small multiparty map for a tornado constantly until I found it, generally near the 3 containers.
I looked. For FIVE hours. NOTHING.
Searching 2ch, it appears only TWO people ever complained about it. EVER.
Maybe it's because I'm on the lowest settings?
nyaaa
August 13th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
lowest settings doesn't matter >.> ..I played in high setting also never seen tornado
Zirren

The point is they're supposed to be rare. You don't find red boxes in the wild that often. You almost never find 3 in one place.

Oh so the invisibility was NOT intended? Wow… I thought that was a feature to make him harder…. hahahaha….

And the barrier setup isn't rare.
If that's so they should lower the number of the redcontainerx3 setups appearing.

And when you DO find a tornado, it launches you at any random place on the map, but not the 3 reds. Seriously, red containers don't even drop good stuff most of the time. They should AT LEAST make the tornado put you there if they don't want to increase their spawn rate.

The tornado and redbox thing was poorly thought out.
I really hope they don't fix the 'trick' though, I enjoy 5* mag food selling less in the stores.
Some JP broke 2.4k crates last week so you can't say all the exploiters are foreigners.

Will they fix Gameguard?
It's been giving werfault/wermgr errors at certain intervals and it slows down my mouse to crawling speeds.
Ricardo

They haven't officially addressed the Gameguard issue yet.
