Attention all avid and un-avid, veteran and green Challenge mode players! Due to renewed interest, Friday night Challenge mode will be back up and running starting next week, Friday, May 23rd. VulpesMundi and myself will be hosting the event at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (11 p.m. Eastern Time) for the first night. Vulpes has expressed interest in starting earlier for the East-coast folks if the need arises. All in all, the plan is to meet people, have fun, and play Challenge mode!

Headlines
What: US Challenge mode
Where: Deneb 04
When: every Friday, from 6:00 p.m. PST / 9:00 p.m. EST / 1 a.m. GMT.

Feel free to post questions, suggestions, concerns, and comments about C-mode Night in this thread. VulpesMundi or I will update occasionally with news.

Good on ya!

Currently this is only on the Gamecube version of E1&2. Someone else will eventually be handling the X-Box version (Lolita nominated rbf2000, but we'll see if that holds true later). They're waiting for all nine of the episode I C-mode stages to be available before they start a weekly gathering there.

Update!

I'm planning on hosting the Friday Night C-mode Dance Party beginning at 6pm PST / 9pm EST / 1am GMT for the re-inaugural event on May 23rd. If participation is good, I'll continue to host the event from that time. Otherwise it'll return to the previously planned 8pm/11pm/3am time.

Tell your friends to join the party. We've put a valiant effort into reviving the Friday Night C-mode Dance Party. Now it's up to the players of PSO to participate and make it a success.

Hope to see you there. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well the Friday Night Challenge Mode Dance Party re-inauguration event has come to a close. Attendance was decent and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I'd say it was a success, considering it's Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people are probably away from home.

I had fun and met some interesting people. And that was the whole point of the gathering, for everyone to have fun and meet people. Groovy, sez I. Thanks to everyone that attended, and hope to see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel.

I'll start the May 30th event at 6pm PST / 9pm EST / 1am GMT again. If attendance is at least as good as it was last night, then that will become the permanent start time. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Remember that the Friday Night C-mode Dance Party is for everyone who loves PSO.

Happy hunting. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the May 30th C-mode event next week because I have work away from a cable modem. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif However, I'll be on during the week prior to that during evenings (Pacific time, between 7p.m. and 11p.m.).

I had a great time during last night's foray, and am proud to say I learned a lot more about the C-mode levels. Deus and I ran the gamut, helping folks with C1 (multiple times, oi), C2, C3, and clearing C6. That was the happiest six hours I've spent online! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif And my how my Guild Card list has grown! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

WHOOOO!:D

im glad everyone seemed to have a good time! (i had a real blast too FluxG! thanks)

thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed themselves. the turn out was pretty good, and hopefully it will get better!

**if anyone has a problem attending on Fri nights (like me!), then it is possible to get together on alternate nights or possible change the party night if enough people are having problems with the time frame.

i think its still somewhat open to discussion, but we'll see what the level of interest is. (now where was that topic i was supposed to be able to vote on my prefered c-mode night? someone?)

Come join us for some C-mode! >Everybody


its really fun!
hope everyone makes it back next week:)

May 27, 2003, 09:02 AM
Damn I missed it. I had too much to do last weekend anyway. So C mode is back on eh? I've been trying to find people to do some Challenge with, but everyone I ask laughs and says no thanks. Well, I'm happy again.

Deus-Irae
May 28, 2003, 04:47 AM
now that sranks can be upgraded, people will be coming out of the woodwork to do C-mode!

ive allready seen the evidence!

and i say=GOOD!

FluxGryphon
May 28, 2003, 03:10 PM
Yeah! I was just gonna say the same thing Deus! Yes! Specials for S-ranks! So for folks who either have been turned off from online C-mode because the earned weapons are less than satisfactory, or have an S-rank collecting dust in the bank, you can get some use out of these things now! W00T! (Now I really want to get my Sha'hyn Twin Saber! Aiyah!)

On another note, for folks who want to do Challenge during the week, just head to Alcyone 6, the JP C-mode block, and try to hook up there. Makes things easier to have all the C-mode in one area when there isn't a scheduled event.

Orange_Coconut
May 30, 2003, 02:29 PM
Alright so tonight, again, the C-mode is goin on?

If so, I was wondering if maybe I could join. I don't really have any experience in C-Mode... I've played it before, but it was offline with a friend so I didn't get very far.

I was wondering if you accepted newbies to C-mode? If not then I fully understand.

VulpesMundi
May 30, 2003, 07:52 PM
Everybody is welcome to join. And I mean everybody. Whether you're experienced or not, whether you speak english or not, whether you hang out at PSOW or not, everybody is welcome to join. Just ask somebody for help or join an open team. And I'll be around all night, too, so if you see me don't be afraid to say hi and ask questions. I have a keyboard so I can actually respond in a timely manner. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

By the way, the main draw of the Friday night gatherings is to get enough participation on Deneb 4 that people will hopefully use it 7 days a week. It was proclaimed the official US C-mode block by many websites, and we'd just like to see it get used. It was intended for people who need to find others they can communicate and play with, since a lot of the Japanese folk don't really like to play with non-Japanese players (some do, but not a lot). So hopefully people will start to use it more and more in the coming weeks and months.

May 31, 2003, 06:42 AM
do you think you could start it earlier for us EastCoast people? Because I get tired, and I would proabably fall asleep before then. Maybe 9 eastern would be a better time for the east coasters. I cant speak for everyone though. maybe east coast goes to another room?

VulpesMundi
May 31, 2003, 07:14 AM
We have been starting it at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern. Read my posts further down the topic. =>.>=

Anyway, another event has come and gone. This week's turnout seemed kinda lacking compared to last week. It started off strong (there was almost 30 people already there when I arrived at 6p/9p), but petered out rather quickly. I did meet some new people and ran into a few PSOW members, though, and overall enjoyed myself.

I'll keep hosting the event beginning at 6pm PST/9pm EST. Anyone who's interested in joining should tell others about the gathering. Participation is key to the success of a full-time US C-mode block.

Thanks to all those who participated. Hope you had fun and hope to see you again soon.

Thank god. I was really getting pissed off at Alcyone 6. It's TOO DAMN CROWDED!!! Seriously, the block limit is 101 right? I've seen insane amounts of people there (Yeah, try 174.) And we all know that the more people there are, the higher your chance is of getting FSOD. On that ship I completed C7. New c-mode rank, one step closer to my S-rank. So I was going to return to the lobby, save and quit. But of course... I wasn't even in the lobby yet and BZZZZZZZZZT... It's kinda like ST's way of saying "Congradulations! You just wasted an hour of your damn life!"

Now I just have to wait for Friday... -_-'

sounds really fun, but im not very smart i live in Connecticut so would that be 1am here friday night?
thx!

FluxGryphon
Jun 5, 2003, 01:23 PM
FSOD is evil! I've said this before (I dunno if it was in here or not) but it's a good idea to start another game just after you clear a Challenge level, just to save your data. When you return to the lobby it doesn't save! So if you go BZZZZZZZT whilst chatting, you lose your rank. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I've had that happen to me, and it sucks.

Also, for folks upgrading weapons - note that the Jellen and Zalure specials do not count as a hit when they attack. That means critters won't be stunned when you Jell or Zalure them. Maybe that info will help you decide what weapon to spend 50 Photon Drops for upgrading. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif And as far as I can tell, the special always hits with those two. (Yiii!)

Another Friday is coming up, and another Challenge mode night is in the brewing. As usual Vulpes will be hosting. It's been a busy week for me and continues to be so through Monday. I'll be online tonight, Thursday, but I'm unsure whether I will be able to make the Friday gathering. If not, good hunting to all those that come!

Good luck with it anyway...

Jun 7, 2003, 03:22 PM
Suggestions for other C-mode times are welcome, of course. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a European host earlier or something...

Well, another week another Friday night of C-mode. Turnout wasn't terribly spectacular until later in the evening, and I noticed there were a number of folks staying up till the wee hours enjoying themselves. I'm also happy to say I got to meet some new people associated with PSOW - that's always exciting. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Jun 8, 2003, 02:23 AM
The June 6 gathering had the best turnout yet. The block averaged around 30 players all night long, and I was there from about 5:55pm Pacific until about 1:30am Pacific. It's a good start, but the turnout can still be better. Remember to remind friends about the gathering. The more the merrier. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

And to those of you who enter Deneb 4, stand there for a minute or less, then assume "this sucks," please have some patience. My apologies if things don't move as fast as you'd like. The gathering usually starts a little slowly, but with a little patience to wait for other players to show up things can go rather smoothly. All I ask is that you give it a fair chance before writing it off. Thanks in advance.

My appreciative thanks to everyone who attended and participated. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Yes, there was a gathering tonight. There will be every Friday night unless someone says otherwise.

Tonight's event went rather well. Started a little slow, but had what appeared to be the biggest activity at one time out of the last four weeks. People seemed to be enjoying themselves. All around a good time.

Why I always refer to it as the Friday Night Challenge Mode Dance Party... =^.^=

Midnight Central is 10pm Pacific. So far these past four weeks the gathering has lasted at least until midnight Pacific, and the last two weeks have lasted past 1am Pacific. So yeah, there should still be plenty of people there.

Edit: *Raises paw in response to MissJester.* Vampire is my favorite fighter series. I wish Capcom would make another one. Just so long as they keep it 2-D I'd be happy. *Insert Gallon Howl here.*

C-Mode fridays owns! Even if you dont play C-Mode, you can party down. Though I did get my weak force ass to C3 and well kept dieing so, C3 and C4 ar on deck for this Friday. And on a side note, Vulpes how do you get full screenshots like that? Its not with the built in snapshot fuction so someone tell me how.

FluxGryphon
Jun 16, 2003, 10:47 PM
The full snapshots require a special video card in your computer and a cable to connect the GC to your PC. There are a few other folks at PSOW who can take full screen caps (like Snapple, for example). Somewhere around here is more specific info (like what card you need)...ehhh, I'll let the knowledgable folks describe it.

I saw you there Temujin! Ya-ha! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Also had Master Joel make an appearance as Prometheus! And then another Prometheus appeared! BOTH RAmars! *has a nervous collapse*

Zrrrrt...system failure...rebooting...

Welcome to PSOWorld Challenge mode!

Remembering last Friday's fun makes me wish I could make it this Friday, but I have pet-sitting all week, and the cats must be defended! Squawk! *puffs up* To shine in the sky! My gryphon heart will be with all of you! *salute*

Last night started really slow for me. I got there at 8:50, (usually there 20 or 30 peeps already there) And there was one person, Judah. And the next person to come was Vulpes. Well noone did any challenge, and at 10:00 I had to log, and never got back on (though i should have). And you know whats really evil? I can only find cmode games on fridays. Noones ever on Denab, there all on Japanese Alycone 6 (which is impossible to get on) and it seems friday is only day i can ever do cmode which bites!

Heads up everyone. We're not scheduling a Friday gathering for this Friday the 4th of July. The reason should be pretty obvious to everyone - party party party! Neither myself nor the Gryphster will be there, but if some of you still want to play give it a shot. There's not likely to be many (if any) people there, though. The gathering will resume next Friday the 11th.

Enjoy your 4th of July, everyone. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Jul 5, 2003, 12:32 AM
Well...
I only saw 4 people there tonight but we went though C1, C2, C3, and C4. These were actually great maps. If we were doing TA they would have worked great, but we were taking it easy.

It was quite entertaining. We had a few problems in C2 but that was the only one with problems. If I remember right we got some nice times. Correct me if I am wrong:

C1: 12"12
C2: 32'00
C3: 37"00
C4: 45"00

This is a rough guestimate...I do not remember for sure, but it was quite fun playing. Maybe I will remember to drop by again next Friday...hopefully there will be more people around to play with.

Rol De Le took forever to kill...he bit the boat 4 times then finally got killed.

Congratulations to those that played...they cleared up though C4. Now I head back to Alcyone to try to improve some of my times, later.

Decie
Jul 7, 2003, 02:16 PM
Lets go again this Friday... Kaizer and Judah probably won't be playing though because they're working on a project. We can try TA for F1 if anyone is interested.

It would be nice, but I occasionally drop by Deneb 04 each night and see nothing going on. It would be nice to see people there for once. I do not mind helping out in Deneb 04 for cmode, but there has to atleast be someone there to play with. I will try to remember this Friday to stop by. I missed last Friday...I got involved in some games in Alcyone 06.

The last few C-mode Nights have had pretty pitiful attendence - about one to two teams at max that I saw. Hopefully it'll just be breaktime for people that are on vacation, more interested in item-hunting, or what have you. I think I'm actually starting to remember some of the stages. (C1 and C2 especially! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif)

Some advance notice: starting Saturday July 26th, I will be on vacation for two weeks and will be unable to attend any online games. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I'll be there at nine, most likely using my hucaseal, as she's beaten all stages and can help people through any stage. It'll be an all white hucaseal named "Ikimassoi!".

I know some people are coming, and anyone else if you can come please post here or PM me so I can get a feel for how many players we'll have. Thanks, and I hope to see you all tonight!

OK benoit, since you've been complaining so much about the PSOW cmode times, why don't you do something about it? Here's what we can do, you organize a cmode night and time for EU players, and you set it up and get people to come. I'll be happy to come the first two times and get things rolling even though it'll mean I wont be able to go to bed at all that night, and have to got work all tired and cranky the next day. So set up a time, and let me know, maybe you can get the EU cmode nights rolling.

Well I'm sorry to say I wont return for tonights cmode party. I helped a few people through C1, benoit you were there. Then while trying to join the C2 game to help Benoit and the others through that, I DC'd and corrupted while joining.

Funny thing this is, no fsod or buzzing or nothing, just a DC and a memory card failed to save file error. Then BANG all files corrupted. If I can restore, I'll be very happy. I'll try to fix it with a second memory card but it doesn't look good http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Don't worry folks, I will return next wensday with a new card and new characters to reclaim my sranks!!! Hope you can all join again, and with better luck this time!

Not to sound smart or anything, just try just re-inserting the memory card a couple times. It worked for SnAPPLE and I.

When do you pull it out and reinsert it? at the title screen? Or just keep restarting or what? I need details!! >.<

Guntz! I got there but couldn't get a team started.
And the problem is, my time was running short for doing the C9 stages... damn nightshift work.

For all aspiring Cmode players:
I am usually at 11am EST on Deneb 4-1, sitting there for a while if anyone wants to join me for a stage or two, you're more than welcome. This is mainly for the EU players that can get at that time.
Anyone else who can and want to join, just show up.

I recently was talking with my fellow Cmode friends, and they feel (as well as I) that people must give an effort to learn how to play as a team.
Too many people are just there for Srank weapons and the rank. That is only selfish thinking.

Cmode is about Challenge! (That's why its called Challenge Mode, d'oh!) It's also about teamwork and having fun! There is no 'me' in the Cmode... there's only 'we', as in 'we are a team'.

Come on people! Put a little heart in it and get ready to meet a good match this Friday night!

Edit: i played with spud on a c6 game... i knew it couldn't be guntz because he didn't play as well as guntz would have... hehe.

I've seen numerous people ask about an Xbox Cmode night, and every one of them has been ignored. Is there any chance that this will be set up for Xbox some time soon? It's hard to get a reliable group to go through them all, and I remember someone saying that it will be organized on Xbox once all the Cmodes are up, and they are.

Let's hear something from the people in the know! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, I got no problems whatsoever playing over early challenges to help out, that is if there are people of course.
Finally was able to join the wednesday challenge mode on Deneb (was up early because of fighting cats in my backyard)(GMT time here)
Unfortunately there were only 3 or 4 people present, which doesnt make it easy to find volunteers to play a challenge stage.
So the most difficult thing is not having people wanting to play over an early stage (because I know I dont mind) but crowding the lobby with challenge mode volunteers is the most difficult part.

Andrina
Sep 4, 2003, 12:49 PM
Bluntly, I'm getting a little frustrated here with this site's lack of care whatsoever with the Xbox version of PSO. No one will answer anyone on Cmode night for Xbox, and I'm sorry but I think it's the better version, and I DO have the ASCII KB for my GameCube.

Just answer, is anything going to be done or not? I know that people important to this decision read this message, and I think ignoring it like this has been very rude.

Just someone who has something to do with this, please simply answer. What do I have to do for someone to answer, even if you don't know? Has someone else been nominated? Is anyone stepping forward? Has someone said they'd do it, but just haven't yet?

I don't have Xbox PSO so there is no way for me to host a cmode night, I dont even have an Xbox. But I, as well as all of the other mods and staff would be more then happy to help anyone who wants to host a cmode night. You would need to pick a ship and time and day of the week and be willing to try your hardest to show up every night the cmode night rolls around. If anyone is interested in hosting an Xbox cmode night please either post here, or PM me and I will try to help as much as I can to get a cmode night started for Xbox.

Problem: i was there on friday after being gone for a couple of weeks (real life stuff going on, i promise it won't happen again), and vulpes and i were the only ones that showed up. during the week, you might want to advertise cmode friday to all your friends, and maybe one will show up with you. then we could have a team of 4! whee!

to all you out there, who were showing up, but aren't anymore, i understand what went wrong. there weren't enough needing your challenge to make a team... well, here is what i propose to you. come back! and bring a friend or 12, because cmode friday definately needs a facelift. those of us who are experienced at cmode would love to help you get your bu-ei and srank, and those of you who are experienced should come back to help them. its fun. the same goes for cmode wednesday. wednesday and friday... see main page for all the info... its on the right hand side... yeah...

I posted an event on the Calendar for this coming Wednesday, me and two of my friends will be open for Challenge Mode in Vega 08, from roughly 4 CST til 8:40 CST.

As for Challenge Mode Wednesdays officially...I think they should start earlier, than I'd be able to join the fun as well.

Hey guys. I've been looking for challenge mode participants for the last few weeks on xbox and it seems everyone is just hung up on TTF. I'm tired of the quest and wanna try out Challenge M.
I'm pretty much a newbie on this. But I've played offline with a few friends once and it was fun.

So anyone wanna play with a challenge mode newbie on xbox?
Can't we just make Celestite 8 the official Challenge Mode block again, like on DC days?
Thay way, it's still easier than making schedules for everyone. Can't wee just assume that any open game on Celestite 8 is a welcome for challenge mode enthusiest?

I personally play on weekdays 11pm-3am EST.

WOW, the first post in 19 days! Congrats! Well, My HL has been canceled at the moment, but hosting the cmode night is quite easy. The only thing I did wrong was I didn't tell enough people in advance. And try mailing everyone on your card list, even if you have only played with them once a month ago, people still show up when a complete stranger mails them. Don't give up! I had a max of 25 people on Deneb 4 and around 3 teams of cmode, I could have done better, but it wasn't a bad first cmode night for me. BE sure to have it going every Friday, or else it will just all go to hell, once people recognize deneb 4 having a cmode night every week, we can slowly transform that into it being used all the time (like alcyclone(sp?) 6) I have faith in people, just don't give up. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_turnip.gif

I love c-mode playing, but I've had a hard time hooking up with other players. Other than the item-stealing, box breaking hucast noobs hanging out on Dav 10 lately:

"Don't go that way - this is the correct way."

"But there are boxes over here and I want to get those 3 x Digger HP and that dim autogun with 100% Drk/80% hit items for my Hucast"

"Those boxes don't have any items, the Hp units go to the force and the autogun goes to the Racast - and you're wasting our time going the wrong way - wait!!! - don't hit that.....switch..... FADE AWAY ....'start over or quit?' - QUIT!!!!!!

C-mode night for both GC and Xbox makes sense now as it did then. We should try to get a regular thing going again. On a clean ship/block.

mm...if someone would set up times to meet...I can wait in Deneb 04 for rooms to join...I usually sit in Alcyone 06 all night and into the morning joining rooms to play. I don't have a problem playing in normal rooms...I see them more for fun and practice. I can change between a HUcl, HUct, or FOnl as required. All I need to know is what ship/block/time you want to do this. Nightly is ok, or once a week. Sometimes I will look at Vega01, Vega02, Altair02, Altair04, and Deneb09 looking for challenge rooms and occasionally find one to join.

I will do any stage but E2C5. My HUct skill is so bad now...especially in E1C2. So don't be surpised if I want to play FOnl...ahaha. I have not completed E2C4 yet...and maybe later when someone wants to play or I learn more...I failed it maybe 4-5 times at boss...shame on me, but it was my room...and beginner's room too so I don't feel so bad about it.
