| − | As Phantasy Star Universe's Network Mode is essentially a mass-multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG), it's not hugely surprising that from time to time it shall receive game updates and content additions.
| + | This article catalogs the history of updates that have occurred in ''Phantasy Star Universe'' from launch to present day. The dates given for each update reference the game's server time which follows [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone Pacific Time]. |
| | | | |
| − | This page is to list the state of the game's Network Mode as of specific dates, and record the history of what each update achieved. As the game grows in the number of updates (hence, the amount of content) it may become necessary to split details of each update (or each month's worth of) into separate sub-articles.
| + | Every 2-3 weeks, the servers will undergo a maintenance period during which any scheduled updates will be implemented. Maintenance always begins on Thursday at 11:00pm PT and ends on Friday, generally by 4:00am PT, though shorter and longer maintenance periods have occurred. |
| − | | |
| − | All times specified within this article are PST, to match the various times used and specified on the [http://phantasystaruniverse.com/index.php Phantasy Star Universe website].

| − | ==Initial State==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike the other sections, this one makes note of how the game was before ''any'' updates were added.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Date:''' From 24th of October release to 16th of November maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:45 on the 17th).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Flight Destinations====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike all updates following the game's initial state, Network Mode did not allow access to the planet Moatoob in it's initial state. It had the following planets, each with the one specified city and the following flight destinations (when leaving your "My Room"):

| − | ====Types====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The three "basic" types (the classic trio from Phantasy Star Online) were the only possible GUARDIAN types on the game's launch:

| |
| − | | |
| − | On the game's release, GUARDIANS could reach a maximum level of 50 before they stopped gaining experience points.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Missions====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following missions were available:

| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Story Missions====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Network Mode began with no story missions available, the most obvious reason for this being that Network Mode story missions are a direct continuation of offline Story Mode and players would want to be given a fair amount of time to complete that before starting starting the Network Mode story mission string.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Party Missions====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Network Mode began with no party missions available, the most obvious reason for this being that Network Mode was still new and Party Missions are somewhat involved and require a suitable amount of experience with the game, thus players would want to be given a fair amount of time to get used to the game before starting something as involved as these.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Available====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following weapons, photon arts, etc. were accessible at the start of the game:

| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Events====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Network Mode started out "vanilla", without any [[Events]] active. This is worthy of note not only for this article to be complete, but also because the game started out while the [[Events#Haloween|Haloween Event]] was active in the JP PC/PS2 version of Phantasy Star Universe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Other Changes====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * There was a patch download required during the first connection to Phantasy Star Universe Network Mode, however as this was the "initial state", it is unknown what this actually achieved, nor is it of particular importance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Update 001==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Date:''' From 16th of November maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:45 on the 17th) to 7th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 8th).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Flight Destinations====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Access to the planet Moatoob was added in this update, adding three new flight destinations to the game on leaving "My Room":

| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Other Changes====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Players have discovered that the Partner Machinery GH-450 now has issues switching weapons. Allegedly despite the switching animation and noise, the weapon remains the same and as such the PM now no longer heals, among other things.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * As of this update there have been numerous complaints about the PC version of the game experiencing mysterious periods of slowdown, mostly during Parum and Neudaiz missions. Some players have noted that this also occurred in the first JP update, though the immediate update after that fixed the issue. It is believed to be related to texture changes somehow.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Prior to this patch, it has been reported that Hunters on the Xbox 360 version had incorrect stat calculations, making them level-for-level better off than their PC/PS2 counterparts and disproportionately more effective than Xbox 360 Rangers and Forces. This has been addressed in this patch, causing a large amount of unwarranted complaint from Xbox 360 Hunters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Update 002==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Date:''' From 7th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 8th) to 14th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 15th).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Types====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Seven "expert" types were added in this update, a selection of three hybrid types, three specialist types, and one "experimental" type.

| |
| − | | |

| − | ====Story Missions====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first of a new series of story missions (obstensibly named "Episode 2" as it is set after the offline Story Mode) was introduced with this update.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This mission is titled "The Mask", is initiated from Clyez City 5th Floor: GUARDIANS HQ, and is freely repeatable.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Other Changes====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * This update was carried out entirely server-side, thus PC users did not receive a patch download for this update.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * As there was no patch download, previous client-side issues (most notably the texture/slowdown issue from Update 001) have yet to be resolved.

| |
| − | | |

| − | | |
| − | The second of a new series of story missions (obstensibly named "Episode 2" as it is set after the offline Story Mode) was introduced with this update.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This mission is titled "Desert's End", is initiated from Clyez City 5th Floor: GUARDIANS HQ, and is freely repeatable.

| − | ==Update 004a?==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Date:''' From 26th of December ("rescheduled Boxing Day") maintenance to 11th of January maintenance (from 23:00 to 02:00 on the 12th).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Events====
| |
| − | | |
| − | This update concluded the [[Events#Christmas|Christmas Event]] introduced in Update 002, sooner than many players expected.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This update also introduced the [[Events#New_Year|New Year's Event]] to the game, which lasted until Update 005 on the 11th of January.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Other Changes===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * A [[Photon Charger]] was added next to the [[Universe Transporter]] next to the Flyer Base in Ohtoku City, presumably because the recent addition of Mizuraki Defense S had caused a notable amount of player activity in the area seeking a PP refill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * This update was carried out entirely server-side, thus PC users did not receive a patch download for this update.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * As there was no patch download, previous client-side issues (most notably the texture/slowdown issue from Update 001) have yet to be resolved.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * This is not generally considered a "full update" as [[Events]] are not particularly tangible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Update 005==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Date:''' From 11th of January maintenance (from 23:00 to 02:00 on the 12th) to 18th of January maintenance (from 23:25 to 02:05 on the 19th).
