I lose all the time, but it doesn't bother me.

Although there was that one time last night!!!

=X

hehe, but yes, I don't even see it as mattering if I win or lose. I get to meet people from the forums at the weekly BA get together, they get to own me, it's fun. =)

When I used to play online a lot in the dreamcast days I always got killed but it was always really good people like those with Lvl. 30 megid or some uber powerful weapon, so I never stood a chance haha. I wasn't very good anyways though so I probably would've still lost. I've done GC offline though with people and I won a few time http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I rarely play, but when I do I make sure to use the rule where everyone starts at Lv1 to keep it fair. Whatever you do though, don't even think about using a RAmar in B mode. If you're using a RAmar, then there's your reason for sucking. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Rangers in general seem a little lacking in B mode, but then, I haven't even played it on this version so they may rock. But RAmar is always gonna be a little lackin', me thinks.
Some tips: It's so funny to trap yourself in a little room by planting bombs in the doorways of the entrance. There're a few GREAT rooms in the temple for this, I was able to get some amazing scores using this cheesy style of play. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Battle Mode > Challenge Mode http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

My friends and I play offline Battle mode a lot. I'm bad at it, but they're... really bad. We're all kinda hopeless.

The game engine was designed for multiple enemies at a time, not precise combat between players. Out of ALL the online player vs player games available, PSO is probably the worst.

If Battle > Challenge, then why is there an official C-mode block (seems to be the 4th Japan Ship, block 6) and not a Battle mode block? I don't recall there being a Battle block for the DC version either.

In my opinion, the character invul kinda kills the strategy, as does the fact that you can heal the other player with Resta. If A) you weren't invincible for 50 bajillion seconds after getting hit and B) you didn't heal/buff other players with your own spells, it'd be WAY better.

There was a Battle Block for the DC version. It was Ship 14 Block 10.

It's the same for GC version.
