PSO2 Alpha Test Emails Sent

We're seeing numerous reports on twitter about Phantasy Star Online 2 Alpha Test E-mail being sent out. I didn't get selected though, but if you want to be a PSO2 correspondent on here, by all means send me a message!

According to the email, there is no scheduled date for when the Alpha Test starts, but it will start sometime this summer. But one line kinda struck me,

ラグオルからオラクルへと舞台は変わりますが
(Even Though) the stage has changed from Ragol to Oracle..

Hm I'm looking too much into it but I was thinking Oracle was a spaceship, but perhaps it means the central  setting of PSO2 is Oracle.

If you weren't selected, wait for an additional announcement of when they will select another round of testers.

Next week, June 24th, we will send an email to the first phase of candidates  who were chosen to participate in the alpha test!  To have many of you participate, we will also increase the amount of chosen candidates. But regardless, the first wave of selected candidates will be notified via email on June 24th.

Regarding the wallpaper, it depicts a picture of friends running through unknown grassy plains as they embark on infinite adventure…

As for the official site, we've placed several screenshots and a promo movie. Though these are under development screenshots, it gives you the atmosphere of the battle and field in great force. If you haven't already seen them, check  them out at the official site!

PSP2i: DLC Mission Maximum Attack Infinity for Multimode Play

The player demands are sooo strong that things have changed! This time, ad-hoc/multi-mode players can now play Maximum Attack Infinity I and II. However they are still locked out of Maximum Attack Infinity III.

Last week, players managed to achieve the goal of 15%~60% element boost in the mission results screen. This reward is now applied to Maximum Attack Infinity III.  (It appears these particular reward panels go in effect at the next maintenance and not immediately when they are unlocked.)

Unfortunately the Komazali Rod did not reach the goal of 35 million, so the percentage of that weapon is now 97%. I guess players became fatigued as the event went on.

This week's weapon is the Giga Phone, and in order to achieve 100% we must acquire 45 million kills. You can still enjoy Maximum Attack Infinity I ~ III with the double EXP, Type Points, and Drop Rate. (However, the multimode version of the event has only 50% increase, which is quite strange because we didn't unlock it yet.)

 

You may notice the Maximum Attack Infinity missions are both in orange and white. The orange missions are for Internet Multimode only and those kills will count towards the goal for the event. Maximum Attack Infinity missions in white can be played in both multimode and Internet Multimode, but be sure not to choose the wrong one if you are participating in the event.

As a little present,  only during the event period,  MAI multimode missions will have 150% boost applied automatically, however, the online participators still have to unlock the +50% boost anyway. If this is achieved, once the event is over, MAI on multimode will continue to have the 150% boost applied.
