They added the new trailer to the lobby and did some minor bug fixes.

That changes will destroy the economy of non premium players without MyShop.
Forest hard mode videos, the quests were played as a Cast Ranger, the free field was played as a Human Hunter.

One day before the subclass update, Team GAF has gained access to the TEAM ROOM *applause*.
Thank you goes to all members who contributed their time to get all the points required for this task. Sadly, it's just the beginning, since upgrading the tree requires sick amounts of points...
Anyway, here's a short screenshots story of the unlock and our first visit in the room:

Anyway, here's a short screenshots story of the unlock and our first visit in the room:
My bud Killthee and me were chilling in the lobby being awesome, when we decided it's time to get the room upgrade.
After a short talk with the NPC we entered the room to find the rumored photon tree. It wasn't big at all!
I've decided to drown the sadness in the room's bar and Killthee was kind enough to make the drink.
My character was weaker to the in-game alcohol than I thought.
But all is well that ends well - at least we have a small pool now!

In other news, PSO2 has reached 1 million accounts, and there's going to be a campaign about this:
http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-live-broadcast-2-and-1-million-arks-campaign/
http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-live-broadcast-2-and-1-million-arks-campaign/
Yeah, that too... Our doesn't do anything yet anyway, so it can be as dry as it wants.
The 1 million accounts thing is great - mainly because we'll be getting more FUN points for a pretty long time. The rare drop boosters also don't sound half bad.
Speaking of rare drops - I've found the angel wing rare unit today and sold it in 20 minutes for 1,5 million meseta. Got to earn them monies when people are still rich.
UPDATE IS LIVE
3 new client order requirements:
1. V. Hard unlock:
5x Snow Panther
5x Big Varda
5x Quartz Dragon
2. Subclasses:
12x Garongo
12x Fodoran
12x Gilnas
3. Level cap unlock:
90x Naberius enemy drops
90x Lilipa enemy drops
90x Flying continent/caves enemy drops

Patch notes are up.
Am I reading it right, did they only add V Hard mode for Forest, Caves, Desert, and the Emergency Quests?
The FAQ also got updated. Bunch of team stuff got added including an explanation on how photon water is used (slow trickle over time + decrease every time someone activates a buff).

After a 7 hour long fight with the level cap unlock CO and getting to 41 using the COs I've gathered before, I've noticed that the amount of xp required for lv 42 is... 2,8 mil. It was 91k from 40 to 41. Guess Sega has finally found a way to sell them xp boosters and prevent people from complaining about EXP FULL.
Full list here:
Experience needed for Lv40→41 - 91420
Experience needed for Lv41→42 - 2834000
Experience needed for Lv42→43 - 3627520
Experience needed for Lv43→44 - 4643230
Experience needed for Lv44→45 - 5943320
Experience needed for Lv45→46 - 17829990
Experience needed for Lv46→47 -　22822380
Experience needed for Lv47→48 - 29212650
Experience needed for Lv48→49 - 37392170
Experience needed for Lv49→50 - 47862000
And sorry for not logging on yet. Got my Pokémon Black 2 today and have been playing that instead. *plays some more*

The reaction of Team GAF after 11 hours of playing non stop to clear all 3 Coffee's COs and experiencing the rewards of very hard mode vs. the xp required post lv 41:
I would like to thank Killthe, sakonma and wunderblizz for everything today. It was hectic, but kind of fun.

I'm assuming the exp in VHard doesn't scale to match?
74 xp for a single Udan, 1-2k for an emergency code, 1k for Rock bear. The "new CO's" are solely for the rare versions of monsters and are between 8 and 20k iirc. According to the online manual, rare bosses appear "extremely rarely", so I don't know how anyone could effectively farm the required amount of xp.

Well, it was nice while it lasted. Don't think I'll be picking this up again.
I'm guessing that Ruins on Normal/Hard won't require a 42+ level when it's finally added, so there's that...
But yeah, the majority of players (myself included) are really angry about this part of the update. Since Sega is pushing this game so hard, I'm really curious how they will respond.

Hi guys. Sorry I've been away for a while, but I've been trying to catch up on other games. Has there been anything major added to the game that I need to update for?
I just noticed that they dropped the amount of stuff you need from 90 to 20 for the level cap quest yay.

That part is what really disappointed me. I thought when they said new CO's they meant a new batch of Hans/Franka/Kressida V Hard Mode CO's that would give enough exp that the lv cap to reach caves free field + wouldn't be too much of a bother. I wasn't expecting just 5 new CO's for rare enemies or for V Hard Forest to be handing out such low Exp along with no improvements to enemy AI or difficulty and a pretty crappy drop list with a terrible payout.
I'm fine with them starting to implement some crazy exp requirements, but at least make the road to leveling fun and interesting instead of a long boring snooze fest with very little positives.
They added V Hard Mode, Subclasses, and a lv cap increase yesterday.

How do you do the Capture mission. I just got it, but I ended up just killing the Rockbear instead
Your map should have a target zone you have to lure the boss to. Once you get him in the zone you have to keep him there until he's teleported. If someone else can maintain aggro on him while he's in the zone you can go over to the computer and activate it to speed up the teleport process. You only get ~3 computer chances though and if you use them all without capturing him you fail the emergency.

Is it worth it Exp wise, or is it just better to kill the one needing capture?
I think you get slightly more exp for completing the emergency code than you do for outright killing it, but it's nothing ridiculous. Loot is also affected, if you fail the capture and kill it you'll only get 4 drops.

I'm more worried about Exp at the moment since I'm still only at 26.
Work on those CO's. Even the crummy ones that hand out low exp are good cause once you complete them they open up new COs with better rewards.

This new XP curve is really turning me off of playing..
It wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that we have to do this with two classes.

First rare monster sighting - Dagan Nero. Dropped 2 copies of the same new Wired Lance PA which probably means that the new PAs are rare-monster only.
Screenshots of both the monster and the PA in question:
Edit:
Since everyone has been getting new clothes recently, I've decided that getting a power-up (subclass) is a good time to upgrade my character to version 2.0.

New announcement!
Looks like they're admitting they screwed up by releasing this last patch without some of the stuff they had planned for the future. To fix it they're pushing out some changes they had planned for the future before schedule.
They're changing the lv 41+ exp curve tomorrow! The cost for med supplies will be lowered after maintenance on the 17 and they will also try to do a better job communicating their goals and implementing player feedback into the game.
Emergency Maintenance Schedule to fix the EXP curve:
10/11 8:00 PM EDT - 10/12 1:00 AM EDT

Came here to post this.
They've announced some cool features like gaining xp even after hitting the max level and using it to buy special items, a new difficulty and stuff for max level players (that's us!).
Don't worry about the tomorrow's change - the xp required for leveling will be calculated after the first kill, so you'll level up instantly if you've gathered enough.
Like I've said on twitter - I'll wait with joy and happiness after I see the new values, but I'm really happy that they didn't completely break the game.

I'm shocked that it took them less than a week to address this. Maybe the amounts of AC being charged dropped precipitously after the patch, lol.
Backslash was everywhere - Japanese blogs, SNS services. If they'd left it this way, they player's number would decrease drastically. I really like the alternative solution (other use of the xp).

Thanks! I've also dumped the Sato mag for good. Only thing I regret is not selling it in the first place, didn't like it at all.

Just bought the premium package from AmiAmi for 6200 Yen ($78 shipped), which is a big win since Play-Asia wanted $100 pre-shipping.
They've been referenced in the client files since the 2nd alpha test. Beast are also mentioned in one of the files. Might be something they plan on implementing in the future or just scrapping altogether.
Finally, 42! The new xp curve is here, but it's not light as the one from 1 to 41.
For example, you need 450k from 42 to 43. I'm ok with it though, much better than the previous one.
Isn't the text file wrong though?
a) It says that for 42 you need 2250000, while I only have 2028515 and am halfway to level 43.
b) If my math skills are right, according to the new .txt list, you need 690k to get from 42-43, but as you can see, my bar is half full and only 221k is left.

What is a Dewman? And look at all that exp you need to level further.
StarCreator

Dewmans are the fifth race that were introduced in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. Their name is a juxtaposition of "demon" and "human".
Unlocked subclass but haven't quite finished the other two unlock COs yet - have to collect 90 Naberius photons, 88 Lilipa photons, kill one more Quartz Dragon, and kill 5 of some other thing.

To shine some more light on what StarCreator said, they were basically the ultimate glass canon.
Their stats had very, very high Physical and Tech attack but very weak physical and tech defense.
djplaeskool

In the Phantasy Star Universe canon, Dewmans are humans that have adapted to SEED energies.
For example: In the story of PSU, Hyuga Lyght, fellow guardian and son of the GRM president, contracted SEED virus (then age 17). Instead of succumbing to the virus and becoming a SEEDForm/Monster, he slowly adapted to it, become a Dewman (age 20 in PSPo2i).
You can't have a story with People and Dark Energies without the twain meeting somewhere in there.
I wonder how it will play out in PSO2, if they go through with it.
Still want Beasts back :/
