A new approach to PSO - PSO-World.com Forums

A buddy and me discovered a rather amusing approach to pso. When you start a game deposit all your weapons, go down for the forest or what have you unarmed. Then as you play through the game you can only use the weapons you find, weather they be rare or not. I dont play like this all the time but its great when your just looking for a change. Try it out, let me know what you think

i personally just enjoy the challenge of going completely unequipped (no mag, no armor, no units, no barrier, no weapon, no nothin!) It makes you appreciate your MAG a whole lot more when you realize how weak you are without it. But your idea is pretty cool too, you're still without your best weapons that you know and love so it is a little more challenging. whatever...to each his own.

Sounds pretty fun. I've never played it, but isn't this what challenge mode is like?

I play solo offline- But I like this idea. I can't do challege mode (I'll never get my Crazy Tune...). But this sounds cool for some nice exp... Now when I can do this on Very Hard... it'll be nice...

Hey! I don't even bother bringing a weapon into Ultimate ruins with my FOnewm. I need to cast those techs QUICK! So I guess I'm in favor of the idea...

I like the idea of going completely unequipped, but I think a MAG is something of your character, so I would think it would be fine to leave that. However, I do think it would be quite interesting to try without it, you would come to appreciate it more.

i met a HUcast online when the game was first released in england... well... about two, maybe three days later, who had a mag that hadn't been fed WHAT SO EVER. so in a way, your reliance on your mag is something you believe to be vital to your character.

My friend called =] goes around in hard mode with a plain mag equiped, it seems sorta mega super ultra legit person.

Ok, I modded the rules abit for mine. I played in VHard mode, and found it to be refreshing to the normallity. (And I gained two levels, as well!)
In addition to whats been stated (No Equipment, No Items) I also did:
1) No Techs until a "sample disk" was found. Meaning, I didn't use my HUmars resta until I found the resta disk, and relied completely on mates until then.
2) No Mag. I agree, the mag is part of your character. But mine gives me 314 ATP. Wheres the challenge then?
3) No grinders. I used what I found, and only that. But I also found 4 trigrinders which I didn't use. I know it's small and it's nothing, but I wanted to keep it minimal.

This is what challenge mode is for. And you even get a nice S rank at the end. Kind of a lame idea.
