Frantic Fauna

Avert a crisis
around the
Central Dome!

Client: Horace, scientist
Quest:
A probe leaking radiation
near the Central Dome is
affecting Ragol's native
wildlife. Deactivate the
probe before the damage
becomes irreversible!
Reward: ??? Meseta

Yep, Ragol's in trouble again, and you're going to have to save the day as usual. As it turns out, Boomas don't like radiation, and they're angry! After the SCHTServ Hildefail event on BB, I decided to take it as a challenge to replicate it on Ver.2, and this is the result. Finally we have an Easter/spring (and possibly summer) event.

Oh, sorry. Wrong game.

...not anymore!

This time around, I'm giving only one hint. There are a total of six things you can get from this, so if you haven't gotten all of them, you haven't found all the secrets yet.

Good luck and enjoy!

:DDDD more of a motivation to install pso! (gonna do it after partition wipe)..

not for your quest, but so you can get on cmode ;D jk.

The quest seems really interesting! And seeing how there are more options for quests (I herp a derp presume) that well see even more (great) quests to come forth

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
YES! Woot! I've been wanting to try a v2 of this for, like, ever!

Pretty awesome quest! I just wish I had played it when I wasn't so tired :/
Maybe tomorrow

I updated it, so let me know if you encounter the multibear problem again. Hopefully it's fixed now.

I just played it with nyte on vhard, and it wasn't broken (at least, I think it wasn't. We had 4 bears and 1 moth thing in the biggest room in forest 2, as opposed to w/e hell was there last time)
The camera on the door when we blew up the computer was zoomed out a little instead of being just on the door, though.

Also, we got 1 of the 6 items (the *'shroom* one)! Yay! only 5 left!
Edit: Nytesong found another one, from the same place! only 4 left!

I was kind of wondering if someone would ask this. The quest is only available for Ver.2.

bah noo! 5/6 items found, and sylverant went down while looking for the 6th... Darn. I guess we'll just have to try again

Edit: Hunh? when sylverant goes down, why did it take me to schtserv?

Wing, Mag, and myself were just about to put in the microchip and the server went down, naturally we blamed it on Mag for putting the chip in before we got there xD

Or at least I did

Were you guys doing the insane mode or the normal mode?

we did it with no demons/s-ranks.

I miss my GMs on that quest.

we had just finished that mode, too

Isn't hard, though? I had to be a "faux FO" since my weps wouldn't do anything...

Meh, I have to go anyway. The server going down was perfectly timed.

with Lv30 SD I was able to do decent damage on enemies with a 0% native Yas9200M.

See, that's the thing--you have a yasminkov...

Rather than go off topic here, please see this post.

In other news, I've implemented a more thorough and secure fix for the multibear problem. Let me know if it comes up again, because it shouldn't happen anymore.

I don't know if this is where this should go, but I got the angel wings from the Frantic Fauna quest and they DO NOT pass a /legit check on Altmeria. Its not an end of the world deal but I thought Ives might want to know.

Yes, we're aware of the situation. I'm not entirely sure how we're going to fix it, but effectively what happens is that in trying to set two photon blasts on the mag, somehow the item data gets corrupted. Quest items apparently can't have anything but 0 in the last dword, but for some reason the mags created by the quest have duplicated their first dword as the last one.

I know Ives was looking at the quest to see if he could track down some reason for it, but I dunno if he had a chance to do any work on it today (as I haven't talked to him today). For once, the legit checker isn't in and of itself to blame for the problem.

Alright then, should I get rid of the item? I mean is it dangerous to have on my save game or anything? Or is it just an odd glitch?

If its still being picked up by the legit checker after logging off and logging back on, it might be a good idea to get rid of it if you want to play in legit games. Additionally, you could try feeding it to see if it fixes itself...

If you want, keep it in the bank, and sometime while I'm online I can fix the item for you.

I'm not sure how the item can stay glitched, considering those bytes are needed to store some of the Mag's data. Feed the Mag something that raises its Synchro and IQ, and then see if it's still detected as a hack.

I'll shove a few moon atomizers down its throat and see what happens. I never see Bluecrab online and Ives is usually busy when I catch him. Not real worried about fixing it, I can get another from the the Frantic Fauna Quest. It will be up till Easter after all and I got a 1 in 6 chance for another angel wing. I just thought you would like to know the quest was spitting out glitched items. But apparently you were already on it. lol.

How I found out was pretty funny though. I got two devil wings and I though I would be nice and give one to this low level guy that I met. I ran the legit checker cause he thought I hacked it and it failed. I was like WTH. I figured out pretty fast it was the Angel wing as it was the only new thing I got.

Update: Fed it raised all its stats and its IQ and snyc...no dice. It's goofed. Oh well. Gives me a reason to keep running frantic Fauna though ^_^

Well, if you give me some kind of idea when you'll be on, I should have time later today.
