A Challenge!

[360NyTeMaRe]

Today, while hanging out with some friends of mine from PSO, someone started trouble with us, when my friend tried to help break it up. We talked for a minute and decided to do a "race" to see who was better, since the basis of our argument was "Who is better".

The rules.
1 - No Scape Dolls.
2 - If you die or quit, you forfeit.
3 - No returning to town.

The Challenge
Plains Overlord S2 SOLO (Time Trial)
-Whoever completes the mission in the fastest amount of time wins.

The Results
Lv81 CAST Fortegunner NyTeMaRe (Me) - 39 minutes, COMPLETED.
Lv81 CAST Fortegunner DJ CRUNK (Him) - 40 minutes, QUIT (Forfeit)

I think this could be a reasonable alternative to PvP, and also people can stop whining about wanting to kill each other. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, at the end, I messaged his GamerTag, and called "Good game, better luck next time http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif"

I even scored a Friend Request http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Methinks this challenge idea would be a good one...if the classes were balanced. Also what about different map spawns.

Sorry, but I don't think this works.

PVP FTW!

I don't think there's a good substitute for direct PvP, but there's definately other challenges that you can go for.

[Gryffin]

I'd like to see the mission counter come back. Then we need missionless missions where we can just go around and kill/explore with random maps and such.

And then the mission counter could have fun, random missions.

^-^

DIE PvP concept DIE!

Why won't you DIE ALREADY!!!

So instead of time trials with unbalanced classes... you want PVP with unbalanced classes... in a game whose combat system is so shallow that it provides no variety what-so-ever in combat.

I swear the people who cry for PVP don't understand the mechanics behind it that make it fun.

[360NyTeMaRe]

I wasn't suggesting PvP, I was just telling you all something I tried and I think people should use as an alternative for "OMG I'M LIKE 50X 1337ER THAN YOU"

But then they'd just say "ZOMG I'M LIKE 100X 13373R THAN YOU!"
edit: Let's not 4get this IS a team based CO OP game. Let's all try and remember that shall we?

Then I'd pop back in and say "0MFG I'M 1337 T0 T3H 50TH P0W3R"

LOL Exactly...
That's why I think it's better without any sort of vs mode.

Bring back challenge mode though and THEN we can see some HEALTHY competition..

Uh oh this thread is turning into a PvP thread. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I hope we can turn it around!

OK.

So what DO you guys think about bringing back good ol fashioned Challenge mode to PSU?

[360NyTeMaRe]

I think it would be AWESOME! I've never succeeded in PSO's challenge mode...but I think I could do it in PSU.

[HaydenX]

PVP would be fun even with the current mechanics.
Only problem is, I think that fortegunners would win every time. Traps + srank grenade launchers = win.

Then again, mages spamming megid would be pretty bad too.

Ooh...the thought of using an acrotecher spamming megid in pvp...it's painful.

[ThEoRy]

At least with a traditional C-Mode you'd earn the ranks associated with it and possibly the rewards as well. So there's still something to brag about. Just more friendly than pvp braggadociosness.

[Ryuk_0]

i can do any mission faster than anyone here >.> like relics S2 15 minutes solo lol

[Crono114A]

yah? Well, phear 2 seconds.

[360NyTeMaRe]

I do the mission so fast, that I have to consult Doctor Brown every time. (BttF is the best retro movie trilogy ever)
