Hard Mode and Time Attack

[Porkmaster]

Vote for our team name!

So when I hit level 20 and gain access to hard mode, I'll be spending almost 100% of my time there.

I need 2 more competent people to roll with. There's already myself and Nuru. I usually like to run marathon sessions, so have food and water at the ready (preferably water and something quick and easy with meat in it. Hot pockets come to mind). If you're interested, feel free to send me a friend request.

Note that I'm not asking for ONLY 2 people. I realize people have jobs and real life to deal with (lolwut) and thus, can't be online all the time. Let's turn this into WoW for a second. I need 4 "Main Raiders" (Nuru, 2 other people, and myself) and any number of "Side Raiders" to fill in for when the "Main Raiders" are busy.

When Open Beta rolls around, I will be creating a team (guild). Skype/Vent (depending on what we decide to use) is always a plus and heavily encouraged, but not required.

I know a lot of people like to play this game casually, and I can respect that. However, if you're a casual player, then I'm not looking for you and would kindly ask that you not waste my time in the future by claiming you're hardcore in this thread and end up being casual in-game.

So yeah, I think that just about covers everything. If you're interested, let me know. If there aren't enough hardcore gamers in this community, then feel free to let this thread die. Thanks for reading, and I hope that at least a couple people are interested so we can get a full on hardcore group up and running to farm for gear and top the leaderboards in Time Attack.

Now, I know "hardcore" is a tough word to place. Some people claim to be hardcore because they can sit and play for 12 hours. Well, that's not my definition. Those 12 hours don't mean anything if you're dead for 2 of them. My definition of hardcore would be: Know your class, know the combos that yield the highest amount of damage possible, know how to dodge, and know the invincibility frame of your dodge, know how to focus fire (Dark Ragne's legs and Vol Dragon's tail come to mind), etc. I care more about overall skill rather than amount of time played.

Note that being on the side list doesn't mean you're any less skilled than any of the people on the main list, it just simply means you can't put in as much time.

Basically we are going to be administrating a hardcore team. If you are on the hunt for the best weapons and completing the challenges in the least amount of time and maintaining that record, then you are in the right place. Most important thing though is to have fun with it. Sure having the rare weapons and bragging rights is always cool, but to some people, the work and effort put behind these things may not be their idea of fun.

We are always recruiting for those who are interested in becoming the best at playing their class, or in the game in general. If you play any other online games, that is fine, as long as you can play this game like a boss. I play FFXIV myself and i know id spend a lot of time with pso2 while waiting for ffxiv2.0 and perhaps even beyond that if pso2 holds true to worthy updates.

For those who are not joining the guild, but will be doing runs with us are still welcome to do so. However, it is unfortunate that we may choose guild members as top priority. Though this is most likely going to happen when the game is released. As for open beta, we will be completely pick-up.

Anyways, just a quick message i wanted to give out. When news of the open beta is announced, ill be talking with pork about setting up a team forum and from there we can discuss what the best builds are for each class and the diversity of player roles on each weapon type. Thanks for your interest and happy gaming!

Uhm, I don't think Time Attack is gonna be in the beta, but full release. Hardmode should be though. Unless I'm getting it mixed up.

Also hopefully Time Attack will indeed be the same thing as Challenge mode. >_>;;

I know Hard Mode will be in the Open Beta. I'm not sure about Time Attack. It does look a lot like challenge mode, though.

[NoiseHERO]

Yeah Time Attack is definitely not in beta...

I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to hard mode. Something tells me I should still put down my make-everyone-in-the-room-your-bitch-wired-lance though.

Wired Lance is too much fun. My absolute favorite hunter weapon in CB. It's so good at locking down pesky enemies by using them as wrecking balls. Then finish them off with a piledriver and walk away.
