lol, cant even connect anymore...
anyway, does anyone know how to get missions?

2006-10-13 15:47:23

How the hell do you type your own messages? =P
I know lame question, but I tried everything.

The game was cool, I liked it. But this is a beta and betas are known for its crashes, especialy online games.

2 questions:

1. Do you have to buy super attack moves?
2. This game doesnt have a monthly fee? Does it? (hope not)

What is a GUARDIANS License?(2-3)

how do you start quests? the women behind the counter keeps saying that there are no contracts for me :(

2006-10-13 17:13:26

You can get missions from floor 4. Can't remember which but one of those doorways will lead you to mission selection screen. From other doors you can switch planet.

Heres a funny story.. Right before heading out the door to my class today I see that this is online finally. So I load up the 360, start DLing and its already on 1%... alright cool this will definately finish by the time I get back..

So I go to class, come back and see that my 360 crashed on 2%. The best part is, I rebooted and got the 3 red lights.

Enjoy the beta :D

2006-10-13 23:46:08

Best way to get your first mission is to use the tutorial via the robot partner in your room (you will get a free weapon upgrade also)

If you exit to the red planet (i forget the name of it) and exit out towards the left (east dist) you will be able to get missions from the far exit.

I been playing it all day, it's really addictive much like an MMO, the servers are getting some shitty lag and if your not in a party expect to die like ever couple of minutes. (i wish they made it more solo friendly, as getting a party is a pain in the ass)

If you don't have a USB keyboard you can chat by pressing LT to select public or party chat and then press back and a vitual keyboard will come up.

I want Blue Dragon more than Optimus .... mwah ha ha ha ha ha..

Marumaro for the WIN !!

2006-10-14 03:25:16

Hey Jolli how do I get rid of the noob sparkle next to my name? I've been doing the missions for the Linear Line--but haven't even bothered with the tutorial--maybe I should go back and do it now.

2006-10-14 03:45:37

Arrg! I can't make it through the tutorial without it hanging on the second floor--game just freezes up..lame.

Otherwise, having a good time, but I planned on making a couple more characters this weekend and if you get a bonus for finishing the tutorial that keeps crashing well..damnit, I hope I can make it through!

2006-10-14 03:59:38

yea i had the same problems Grift, but I just stopped asking questions. Min that lil window came up I just went to end explantion and I flew through both tutorials w/o problems that way.

2006-10-14 04:29:39

Yea I finally made it through, was hanging in random spots during the tour of the mall areas--but it's done with now. Still want to know how to get rid of that little sparkle next to my name--also how do you make your character portrait apear on screen when you're talking to people in general chat?

Anyone figured out what you need to do/accomplish to get missions from the Guardian HQ?

Press'n on.

2006-10-14 04:39:24

Anyone know how to do Item synthesis?

2006-10-14 04:41:03

I want to know how random ppl can join and create a party with me. I was doing a mission and I was by myself, and all of sudden this guy joins my party. And im like wtf.....

So yea iono thats like weird
