S better than C rank possible proof

[lethe]

I stumbled across a video on youtube, well 6 to be exact, showing a run through of Maximum attack G and it appears that having multiple people in the party will allow faster acces to certain points of the run.
For example there was a switch in the caves area where one player was waiting while another was fighting, i wasnt quite paying attention but im sure working together goes faster than soloing at that part.

Which leads me to the statement that, monsters at 50% HP with multiple people fighting and helping you unlock parts that require you to be in two areas at once, versus soloing against weak monsters but having to do backtracking yourself, it appears to me like S would be the best bet. Even though your helping out someone else, your also helping yourself, which of course leads me to another thought! While you were soloing that C run the other person was getting kills as well, so even if you are with another person its not like they're not getting the kills they were gonna get even if they werent with you....

I will do S at first for exp. Then, I will try C to see if that works faster. Then I'll eventually say, "Fuck, I don't care whether I'm top 500," and play an alt.

[landman]

S = Gold Badges
C = Cooper Badges

Of course S is better than C!!!

Man this game is really supposed to be a team game but i hardly think some people will never change their minds on.

They probably think like this..
"Lol C is still faster and i can live with playing this game like it´s my only goal in life. Who needs friends in a online game and fun when you can get, SPREAD NEEDLE FOR LIFE IF I RUN THIS GAME 24/7!!!!!"

The sad truth.

lol this goes to back to a phrase i believe some people go by:
"PSU is a way of life, PLAY OR DIE!!!"

As far as the leaderboard goes....i dont care if i get a Spread Needle or not...in fact i probably wont.......


I bet there is a group of people right now who keep loggin in and out hoping they can get into the game first......

One Word.....Obsession

Yeah actually. I am only looking forward see the old PSO areas..the other things is just icing on the cake. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Rasputin]

Servers won't even have a chance of being up till around 1am PST. People who are trying to log in now hoping to be the first are not obsessed but stupid.

[NamuNamu]

why miss out on the rares and super awesome exp when you still have a great chance on s???

actually i'd shoot for like 3 am+

[SonicTMP]

I haven't watched the video but going from memory of the orignal max attack back on v1/2. I'd say that soloing still won't be as effective overall because you'll be required top backtrack alot to get stuff that usually 1-2 people would break off to kill.

Unless this MAG has no real path splits in which case it might not matter.

[Proto07]

I doubt any high level will seriously consider spamming C runs for the shotty. With a good team even S2 runs can become easier than a C run.

Yup it seems.

They should get their asses from White Beast and Sleeping Warriors S2 (or at least not fricking lock every damned party there just for PW).

This is the exact reason I'm against the idea of leaderboards.

[Reginaldo]

Why does everyone bawwww over the fact that the people who work harder towards making the top 500 will get the reward?

I know you guys love that the game is set on very easy mode but jeez.

I probably won't get the needle either but I'm not gonna whine because some people worked harder towards it then I will.

You all claim to want the game to be harder, yet an actual challenge is presented to everyone and you still whine.

[mvffin]

if you want NOTHING but the leaderboards, its still probably better to run C. I, however, would rather get as many PUSHAN and other trade ins as possible, so I will be running S the whole time. I may even (gasp) switch characters.

[AnamanaAU]

You're letting the whole community down if you DONT play C based on your ego.

[Reginaldo]

Most people just have the same mentality.

"If you play more then I do then clearly you're obsessed/loser/no life/weeaboo/etc/."

Alot of people here are more generic then the weapon descriptions sometimes.

[ghostmachine]

my first run will be on a c just to learn what to do after that its s all the way

[DavidNel]

Spread Needle = shotgun = figunner can't use = I'll be selling the wep if I get it. I don't really care if I'm in the top 500. Don't have that much time to play. Good luck for those of you who are shooting for the top 500! Start brewing some coffee, you'll need it.

Fixed O_O/

[amtalx]

Wouldn't it be even faster to run as a team on C?

[Battlestar]

yes.. because a one off event in psu is sooooo life draining than doing things in other games like wow (raiding)

[Dragwind]

I'm most likely going to play S unless none of my friends are on, then I might solo A or B for the exp.

True that why i play PSU and not WoW (or care about WoW for that matter). http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I'll hop on, looking for some S time. =3

Is that how you define Challenge?
Killing more enemies?
Bahaha allow me to laugh at you.

I think challenge is if the A.I is actually thinking smart and you have to work as a team to get a chance of taking it down regardless of your weapons and P.A.
Taking down a mission in a fast sense is also considered challenge.

But killing more enemies for more points?
No that´s just time consuming..not hard lol.

[DarkEliteRico]

I think once i get the paradi cataract SUV i'll be doing small groups to speed through it

[goaferboy]

Spamming C rank = Slim chance at spread needle.

Spamming S rank = Definate chance of loads of experience and more mission points.

I'd rather have a high LVL character than one good weapon any day. Then again thats just me, I haven't hit the cap yet. Plus I have 4 characters to level whilst simultaneously spending as much time as possible as a citizen of Liberty City.

I'm more or less indifferent about the whole leaderboard thing, but why do people always say they "worked hard" for stuff? What actual work did they do? Did they work up a sweat pushing the X button or something? I mean, if you're fortunate enough to be able to put a ridiculous amount of hours into the game that's great, but for the love of Jesus stop calling it hard work. It's a video game. Thank you.

[Kamica]

I can confirm that the fastest way to get badges is by having a total of two people playing C rank.

[Sora_Psu]

Like most others have said this is SUPPOSED to be a team effort, im looking forward to seeing if some of my old friends come back during this event (well those who are left). But, if people wanna solo all daum day and night to get the needle than so be it. Thats them, im not doing it i dont have the time nor do i really care, i honestly dont know if im even gonna be on PSU after maximum attack. People play the way they wanna play thats what it is and what it will be sadly..but im not gonna knock the people who have the time to do it..more power to them have fun.

[Ken_Silver]

I need experience more than I need the spread needle. That and the fact that I can't use a shot in the first place being a WT makes it less desirable. So I'll be joining any party I come across and if I can't find anyone (unlikely) then I'll solo at the level most rewarding.

[CelestialBlade]

The concept of "hard work" in a video game = lol.

When did the "good ol boy" movement hit video games? XD

[Proff]

It's Spread Needle/G. I'm sure there'll be a normal Spread Needle later on or even Spread Needle/C from Casino. I'm not busting my nuts for points.

already been through that entire process on day 1. just running random S's and plan on leveling my beast now.

[Rashiid]

C runs are for chumps. CHUMPS!!

But those chumps will get us our rewards, and I'm a techer, so fuck the Spread Needle.
Go chumps!!

The last guy with this thought with bearclaws back during firebreak ended up in my room offering 33mil for something that was 3mil back then.

Think before you leap.

The chumps who've been glued to their Xboxes since 6am today are the ones getting us the rewards.

[Reginaldo]

Oh god..

Worked harder as in dedicated more time to getting kills.

Did you really need me to spell that out for you?

Of course it isn't actual work or labor, thanks for pointing that out though.

The fact is there is now a competition for an item. Certain people are going to dedicate more time to make sure they get that item.

Point being that doesn't make them pathetic in any way.

It's their subscription they can use it how they please.

Whining about it on a message board leaves you people worse off then them.

Make some sense guys.

Don't baw because other people have more time then you. How do you call someone pathetic when you're playing the same damn game as them?

[Yusaku_Kudou]

I'll take my 240 monster C runs done in 6 and a half minutes instead. And since I'm a "chump," don't you think I could at least get a little respect for pouring 29,000 points into the system in one day?

I just said "Go chumps"....
I am for serial too.
Although cheap, I still don't mind.
I want t3h rarz, so I will do S runs, while you chumps feed us our rewards. =]
