New Quest Impressions Options

[Mute]

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but a friend of mine posted his initial thoughts on the quest elsewhere, so I figured I'd share them with you. ^_^ I'll post my thoughts as soon as I give the quest a run through.

Uhg.... this is a tough quest... I really dont want to spoil it. So, I wont say much. As many of us know, from screenshots, you have Elly with you. You go through Beta temple, then to Beta Spaceship, fight gol dragon, CCA (main hub, not Jungle, Seaside, Mountain) and the Control tower. There is more to it than hack and slash. There is plenty of storyline, and I wont spoil any of that for you. I do recomend playing at a lower difficulty than you usually play at. I had Elly die 3 times on me, and called it quits for the night (3:45am...). Oh, and this was on hard mode with a level 84 FOnewearl. You can save your progress half way through the quest. If you die or Elly dies, or quit, you can continue from that point. If you die, its insta quit (like fami cup) but if you have a scape doll, you can get right back up and fight. I would bring you nice, hot, car smell scented screenshots, but you cant take in game screens during online quests (boo). I belive this is a permenant quest, and will be up, like the rest are. Its under "VR" I didnt get to see any new enimies. Didnt get that far...   So, those are the most basic details. Like I said, it is has lots of dialog, and is full of depth. Dont expect to beat it the first time through. There are also a few new graphic effects used. Oh, one last thing. Alot of the pop up messages that the quest likes to use as dialogs make the same sound as the "New Mail!!!!" beep. Its annoying at first, cause I always thought I had new mail... but you get over it. Anyway, Im done. Ill try the quest more later. I dont have any info on your quest reward, as of yet. I really hope its some new toy, and not cash, for as long as this queest is.

I was surprised/dissapointed with the new enemies.

Del Lilys were the ones that dissapointed me, I knew I wouldn't expect much, but they're like every other lily, they just sit there. And their scream drops your HP down to 1 HP. Pretty big mofo's as well, about Gibble sized. Otherwise, they're like any other Lily. And they only appear by them selves... (wtf what about those pics that had like 5 lilys o_O) Unless I'm missing something,

The Ill Gills really surprised me, they're the most challenging enemy in PSO IMO so far.

They'll do all kinds of weird stuff to piss you off, freeze you, confuse you, all that crazy stuff, plus they have really awesome (and annoying) attack patterns. They took me out in a matter of 6 seconds, I didn't even realize what the hell happned, my HP got cut down, then BAM, Guild Counter.

On ULT they're your worst nightmare. X_x

I'm gonna keep doing this on ULT till I beat those damn gills (and epsilon since I guess he's after those 3 gills in the last room) I ain't givin' up till I kill at least one of those shmucks.

My gripe is the part after the save point, CCA is so god damn long and boring, the cut scenes are annoying after you seen them like 50 times. Wish the savepoint was right before the tower.
