PA leveling.
the most boreing and mind numbing task on PSU
there have been updates the imporve the speed of leveling
there have been ideas of what runs are the best and work for what PAs
and there have been short cuts that we just can't get ahold of. (turbo controllers/macro controllers)

So since this is such an annoying task, why not allow us to buy higher level PAs.
Too esay? different idea then.

What if we had a room ,say that one that asks for a tender next to the club, that you could pick how many mobs you wanted to attack you.

or maybe instead of mobs maybe strong punching bags that allow you to level your PAs with these invincible or atleast high HP punching bags.
Or maybe you're worried that you're not going to be used to the mobs moveign around and attacking you.

how about a game that could allow us to level PAs much like the old PSO arcade.
Like a "hit the duck" sort of thing.

or a regular run with a "defeat the super Chao/jaggo/rappy/whatever" mission that would be great for PA levels.

the safe spot techniques are nice... though not as effective as Rescueing hyuga 1 where a steady stream every few feet of mobs are present from nearly all angles. which sounds great awesome fast PA leveling... no not really. you may get a level a run but it becomes very mundain and more boreing then whitebeast after about the 150th run. I can tell anyone where exactly a mob spawns, or even how to keep laia out of the fight mostly. as great of a place it is to PA level, it's overly repeatitive.

I'll agree it's nice to say "Hey i've played since launch to get my PAs at the level they are" sounds like you've gone through a great deal to get your PAs. But then a change jobs or try one differently without createing a character need arises, PA's seem impossiable to level to there max. this is the second month I've leveled my tech PAs to try to get them to max. and this is driveing me insane.

just some ideas. figured i'd share them with someone seeing as i doubt I'll ever see something like this on PSU.
If i do then great! if i don't then eh...

A "training room" feature would be awesome

But what would you do once you capped all PAs and hit level cap? You'd be more bored than if you still had things to finish. PSU needs more than roulette and slot minigames x.x or at least more ways to get Vol coins

hunt rares make money get frags for more PA's, do the story missions, do the story missions for S ranks for more PA fragments, Level alts PA's/levels, hunt for more weapons so you can grind S rank weapons. big list.

Which most of that can be done with friends. BUT i hate haveing to sit here and hit the same thing over and over in the same order, the only thing non repeatitive about it is that the PA's change.
(i have to level 16+ tech pas, and they still won't hit 31 intill i switch over to forte techer)

plus...
i don't think there would be enough room to have every PA leveled inless you took a bunch of stuff out of the storage boxes. and even then with a training room it would take quite awhile.

an even better idea would a room where you could have an unlimited number of mobs swarming and just have a PP and HP cube by a door, then a switch to end the mission when you're done. and hte mobs could change or you could pick different missions involveing different mobs,
highly possiable, esailly programable, and not hard to do. they've done all of those game mechanics before and it would be really nice if they could do them in one mission with an endless ammount of mobs where you could spam your PAs with meaning instead of "let's run through the mission again"

Or even have the monsters change every few waves. like in the MAG mission only alter it alittle and there you go.

Atleast then I could just spam like crazy instead of memorizeing game spots to keep laia at bay in the same mission.

A good friend of mine has capped every class, every PA and has pretty much every rare weapon he could want. Of course, he's been here since launch. All he does now, is play tour guide for newbies or wait for someone to call for help on a run.

With the storage expansion device, its not that hard to keep all your PAs in storage and still have room for random junk.

Hunting some rares is just an absolute pain in the (insert random body part name here) there are some that I'd love to have but until they fix ALL the vanilla droprates I'll have little chance of seeing them.

I guess an option could be to start a new alt from scratch, no transferring of PAs, weapons or meseta.

What we could hope for is that they'll bring back past event missions so we can at least have those to spam. Like the 1up EX missions and the last part of MA:G before Dark Failz.

As I recall, last time Guardians Boost Road was around it boosted PA XP. When we finally get the Neudaiz GBR, that adjustment should remain, causing a massive boost.

who is the magical master of all PAs being maxed and rare hunting good ness?

(and yes i know rare hutning is a pain in the @$$ in that you can hunt something over and over and over again and not get a single drop.)

a glorious idea has struck, there is a place in the online story mode that allows you to face off against an unlimited ammount of mobs, but i can't remmebe rthe name of it.

Can someone tell me the name of this glorious mission?
