PSO - Challenge Mode?

Is anyone familiar with the Challenge Mode aspect of PSO? I've asked a few people about trying that mode out, but the usual responses are;

1. Man, it's stupid. You run through a bunch of levels and get crap in return.

2. I'm not bothering with that mode dude. It's hard and you can't finish it fast.

3. I think it's like battle mode dude.

Since the mode requires two or more people and next to no one has Challenge Mode games going (the ones that are open are always in play), I have had little luck seeing what this mode has to offer.

Does anyoe here feel like trying (or will be available to try) the C-Mode later this evening (about 5PM central)?

Thanks in advance.

I'll be up for it dude, I haven't tried it yet. I get off work around 4PM est, just get ahold of me here or on AIM then.

Thanks. I'm out of work at about 3PM C, so I should be on about 4:30-5 PM. Character is a RAmarl named "Ra.De".

I'm game. it's not too hard to find me on pso.

Okay. What would be a better class to use for C-Mode, RAmarl or FOnewearl? I'm guessing RAmarl since they start off with a gun.

challenge mode is a royal pain, but its worth it, if you get a respectable time you can make your own super weapon. im waiting for bk to get on, as he knows how to do the c-mode correctly. c-mode is a bitch for forces,as the items are randon, so we may be totally resta-les for the game, and as a result getting our asses kicked playing melee fighting. you really shoudl ahev 4 guys going,and try to learn the areas well, because you need speed to get the mega weps. bk can tell you the rest...i hate c-mode, but to get a superpowered scythe, ill deal.

Logging on in about 10 minutes. I just have to figure out how to add people to the friends list. I don't see that option in the game at all. I'll use my RAmarl character "Ra.De".

Go to chat - guild cards - my card - send card.

Forces are indeed a bitch to play with, but if you decide to use a hunter class, they can be effecive, but keeping out of hit-range is as important as timing the correct attacks together (male: normal-strong-strong female: normal-strong repeat)

Good faq to read for Cmode. Still looking for someone to play with.

I saw you online Tuesday, but you were already in a high level game with Silhouette and the others (I didn't want to disturb you by sending a simple mail or anything).

Unfortunately, I lost my RAmarl character due to the game locking up during the loading screen during a multiplayer game. The character still shows up on the HD, but when I select that character the game can't load it for some reason (the screen just sits at the Hunters Guild waiting for the character to appear). I'm going to borrow a memory card and see if loading the file from the memory card will help because I don't want to have all of that leveling and mag feeding time go down the shitter.:( I started up a game with my FOnewearl...but later said fuck it and went to sleep.

I'll read that C-mode guide you posted and buck myself up to start over. I didn't have the urge to play once all of that crap happened.

Thanks.

I'm waiting for BK to get on, 'cause he's an expert, and I wanna learn from the best.


And, I want a super-shotgun.

Almost done. I just hit Level 199 & now have 4.8 Million exp left to hit 200.

You guys have a good head start on me but that's all you'll have when i get on. :p

Question for any of you who might be in the know... why can't do any challenges past stage 1? I've completed it (twice), and stage 2 doesn't seem to available... is MS releasing the other stages at a later date or something?

Much thanks if anyone knows what's up with that.

Have you tried doing the challenges offline?

No, I've just done the first challenge twice, online, with two different groups... and no matter what I do, I cannot access the second challenge. Everyone in my group has cleared the first one, they have the rank of RA-GOU, but stage 2 cannot be accessed.

This strikes me as odd since in the Gamecube version it was no problem clearing stage after stage of challenge mode. Also, I haven't seen anyone else on any boards complain about this, so I'm wondering if it's a bug or "a feature".

I don't think the online Challenges are all up yet. I don't think they were all available initially on GC either though.

Ask Frostwolf or BK, they'd know.
