Emergency Quest Scheduling Reformat

We know we've had issues posting the Emergency Quest schedule in the past, so we've decided to change up the format. Firstly, all timezone conversions will be handled automatically through a widget. This will allow us to accommodate all major timezones including the ones not listed below. You can automatically convert the Emergency Quest schedule by editing the link with any timezone used by your country, city, or region. In addition, with this new format, you can set reminders for the next pre-scheduled emergency quest through your browser or mobile device.

PSO2 JP: Extended Maintenance (2/19/2014)

Our next major update is scheduled for March 5th, that should give plenty of time to catch up on your Bingo scores.

This week's maintenance will occur at a much earlier time.

Maintenance Complete

Maintenance Contents

  • Server Equipment Maintenance
  • PSO2 Live Stream #16's Secret Phrase items have been distributed.
  • Client Order Campaign #42 items have been distributed.
  • You can pick these items up at the Visiphone

Boost event and campaign information will be posted during and after maintenance.

Upcoming Adjustments and Changes

  • Sega plans to add the HP and PP ability affixers to the next scratch.
  • Sega has confirmed a bug where the effects of certain skills and such causes certain technics to not consume PP. Sega plans to correct this bug in the future.
  • Sega plans to adjust the lengths of the Long Fishnet Stockings.
  • Boss raid Emergency Quests will make boost items consume time after the "Quest Objectives" appear on the screen. This change goes into effect for "Approaching Dark Arms," "Profound Darkness Kin: Elder," "Raging Dark Arms," "Utterly Profound," and "Mega Mecha Awakening." Once the "Quest Objectives" appear on the screen, boost items will consume time even if the player is in the camp ship or lobby. (For example, after selecting a quest in the lobby, when someone in the multiparty activates and teleports to Dark Falz, your boost item timers will start counting down until you complete the quest.)

You can expect the changes listed above in a future, unspecified update.
