Dark Falz Apprentice Gia Awakens December 22nd!

~ December 22nd, 2015 ~

 

Mining Base Defense: Demise

MBD Demise Surface

Deep underground, beneath the devastated mining base of Lillipa, lies a new threat. In the [Mining Base Defense: Demise] Emergency Quest, players will proceed to the depths to wipe out Apprentice and prevent the resurrection of Dark Falz.

 

MBD Demise Bases

Like previous Mining Base quests, the ARKS must defend the remaining bases while repelling waves of Darker adversaries. Demise will be the toughest battle yet, with the inclusion of Darkers both new and old.

 

Dark Falz Apprentice Gia emerges during the final wave, with extensive attacks that can blast players away. It can also summon enemies that self-destruct, and can amass an attack with enough destructive force to utterly demolish a base.

 

A.I.S. corrupted by Darkers are among the new enemies players will face. These A.I.S. Exoda will terrorize players with the very moves once used to assist them.

 

Small insect Darkers known as Damoth will swarm the bases like bees, seeking to self-destruct and cause large amounts of damage.

※[Demise] is a pre-scheduled emergency quest and will only appear at the times listed at the official site.

 

Orbit Assault Systems

Sheathed Orbit

The peculiar new "Orbit" series of ★13 weapons can be obtained from Mining Base: Demise. Each part of the weapon is arranged around a Photon ring when sheathed. However, unsheathing the weapon changes not only its appearance, but also the effects of its potential ability. In other words, the effects of the potential differs when the weapon is sheathed or unsheathed.

 

These weapons can also be acquired from Zieg through exchanging Pleiades Stones and Torana Fragments. Pleiades Stones can be found in any of the Mining Base Defense quests.

 

Blue Oni CASTs

Blue Shiki & Oudo

Shiki and Oudo are back with new blue variations! Ao Oni-hime Shiki and Ao Oni-bou Oudo, once again designed by Masaki APSY, will be located in the lobby for a limited time. Complete their client orders to receive the partner cards of both characters.

Expect to see them during Emergency Trials in the Shironia and Kuron fields.

 

Ragol Memory Lineup (Vol. 6)

The costumes and accessories of the original Phantasy Star Online's FOnewm and FOnewearl will be added to the Ragol Memory Exchange shop. The full listing of items can be viewed here.

PSO2 JP: Maintenance and Patch (12/9/2015)

Bumped.org's host will be undergoing maintenance on Dec. 15th between 4:45 ~ 8:00 AM EST. The site will be offline during this time.

PSO2es Maintenance

December 9th Patch

  • Launcher: Version 03.00.04
  • Client: ver. 3.1001.2
  • Patch Size: 25 MB (PC) / 28 MB (Vita)


 

Google Authentication System

Alternative Login Method for OTP Users

PSO2 players should be well aware of the frequent issues that have been plaguing the One-Time Password service. Coming mid-December, PSO2 will implement Google Authenticator as an alternative way for OTP users to connect to the game. Just like before, once you've entered your SEGA ID and password, you must enter the code issued by Google Authenticator to log into the game. Once the service goes live, the One-Time Password Registration Guide will be updated using Google Authenticator as the default method.

OTP Campaign Participants

OTP Campaign participants who wish to switch over to Google Authenticator, can do so without losing their monthly streak. Players who cancel their OTP service have until 23:59 JST of the very same day to re-register their account with an OTP service. If they re-register their account after midnight passes in Japan, then their monthly streak will reset to being their 1st month.

Just to recap the OTP Campaign:

Monthly Streak Prizes
1st Month +50% Tribooster (x2)
2nd Month +50% Tribooster (x2)
Half Doll (x1)
3rd Month and Beyond +50% Tribooster (x2)
Half Doll (x1)
