I'm up for it.

Did the game actually come out today?

Who wants to walk a newb through when I get online?

If they keep Titania I reccomend Titania 8 to be our block.

Jig, between me and Derek, you'll have more than enough help ;)

I would offer to help a little bit but I'm going to be hardcore jumping into C-Mode and Leveling.

Whihc of course means I don't slow down for anything.. :p

Make that 2 newbies. I got into the DC version late and didnt play long because of all the cheating. I am looking forward to the GC version very much.

What he said.

And I didn't get the GameCube version yet since I don't really care at the moment... I'll buy it and the X-Box version eventually though...

bump

Who's gonna be there tomorrow :D

I will <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

My PSO and modem might come a little later than I expected. If I can get my job in time I might get the stuff by then. I cant wait to get it.

Oh, believe me, you're not the only one :D

I've been waiting for this day for a while

I've been on Dreamcast PSO since day 1 of Version.1 and it's weird saying goodbye completely...

I hope GC is just as good as DC, not only game play, but the people and all

Videogame or not, I've had a lot of good memories on PSO, and it has to be my favorite game of all time, met a ton of cool people and it's been great.

I love the idea of a neo block. I will be there tomorrow, if I can find enough money to afford the modem (I am a poor college student :rolleyes: )

But I was wondering if anyone had any information about the keyboard coming to the US??

As far as I know the only info on a US keyboard are some empty promises. No solid news as of yet. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

yes, this whole keyboard situation is rather pathetic... i was just thinking of waiting for a keyboard to be released before purchasing the game, but now i might get it just to walk around watching everyone struggle with the on-screen keyboard...

sad... <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

I had thought about importing one of the keyboard controlers, but I would need to know if it works with the US version first.

It works perfectly.

Anak,
You know damn well I'm gonna make you eat my dust bitch.

Just generally once I made Level 200 on the DC Version I was able to work on my game a lot more solid since then.

Oh yes Anak you'd better be with me for my next Level 200 Final Run.

LY was there so I'd like to have you here also.. :)

I will be on tommarow when I pick up my Cube one. Look for a HUcast named MilkManX. :D

Ok n00bs,
I coughed up this little mini faq just for you so I won't have to help with much talking on PSO.

Read & weep. AnaK knows that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this game...

1st off here's a link to a section ID genarator so you can choose the best ID for you.

<a href="http://www.ragol.com/pages/id/id.php" target="_blank">http://www.ragol.com/pages/id/id.php</A>

Now of course it would be hard for you to choose an ID if you're not sure what each one provides so here's a rough breakdown of the pros and cons of each section ID.

VIRIDIA
Under this section ID you're bound to find more Shot-Series weapons more frequently and earlier than normal in Viridia. Partisans are more common too, but Slicers are very rare to find under this one.

GREENIL
You'll usually find more Rifles more than anything under this ID and Daggers are pretty common as well. Swords which I can attest to are VERY Rare under this ID.

SKYLY
You'll find Swords more often under this ID and commomly enough Rifles. Don't expect to find Mechguns tho.

BLUEFULL
Partisan Series weapons are your usual find along with Rods but Wands you won't find that much. If you're a Force this is one of the passable ID, but Yellowboze and Pinknal are the best.

PURPLENUM
I loved Mechguns and thankfully this ID pays out in em right along with Daggers. I was never a big fan of Swords and Partisans so this ID worked just fine for me.

PINKNAL
If you play a Magic user this ID is made for you. Wands abound and you will find the Highest Level Technique Disks under the one. Of course a Force cannot use Partisans or Rifles so this would work out nice for you.

REDRIA
Armor and Sheilds about under this ID. Slicers & Shots can be had easy enough here as well.

ORAN
A tear comes to my eye. My Level 200 PSO Character was an ORAN and I wore this ID with pride. Sadly tho I wasn't aware at what this ID spit out so I ended up finding more Daggers than anything. Swords & Wands were more common & Rods which I never needed were rare. I do admit a found a few good gun rares such as SUPRESSED GUN under this ID.

YELLOWBOZE
You find money more than anything which may sound lame at 1st but, You'll find all the types of weapons in the game on an equal & common level.

WHITILL
This ID is probably the most terrible I can think of. Slicers abound here along with Mechguns. However I would venture to say that Purplenum is much better. Shots ended up being very rare to get ahold of under this ID so it does have a few minor good points.

Well I hope this helps you decide what character class you want seeing as I just typed all of ths from memory and notes I wrote down.

See you Online guys... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />

Oh and as an added note Here's my Section ID setups for Challange Mode.

In case you didn't know. C-Mode can either be insane or easy to get through *Only if you don't totally suck* depending on the SECTION ID of the Person who creates the game.

I was asked to do this for reasons seeing as some of you know I'm a C mode bum, so I'll try to make this as easy as possible.

I'm sure there are a lot of points I'm going to miss but I'm sure those of you with bigger egos than mine will be happy to correct me.

Aight where to start. Challange Mode was originally divided into 46 Stages with a total of 9 Challanges Each.

The goal of course for each one is to make it to the end...alive.

Now a lot of people go into C mode and usually run into either a good or terrible map. Of course when I mean Map I mean in the effect of how many monsters show up in each section you enter and how many you have to kill to be able to enter the next area.

This is just from my personal experience and talking to others who do this so I will present the best ID's for each C mode that I think works well and quick to get you through with as little confrotation as possible.

Challange 1

Best Section ID's I have seen are either GREENIL or VIRIDA. S N K is virida and I cleared all the C-Mode games with him easy enough. This ID of course Yeilds very few Hildabears which in C1 is something you want to Avoid.

Challange 2 thru 4.

God out of all the C modes I think I like C2 the least in sofar as the time it takes to get through this. The Only ID I've seen worth a lick here is ORAN seeing as Nano's seem to show not as often say if Fio who is REDRIA made the game and I'm finding like 8 to a room in one run.

REDRIA also ended up on C4 making a nasty mess of Pan Arms to deal with. That's always a load of fun dealing with those guys waiting for them to split up. Here's a tip tho I found out. When a Pan Arms does show up, Run a tight circle around them a few times and they will eventually split up and thus the beating can commence.

Challange 5 thru 6

Ah yes the mines.

We all love the mines.

So far ORAN once again does well and I've seen a Skyly come out of this mess well enough to be passable. The Main thing you want the least of course is Sinew Beats seeing as those guys make C5 a living hell.

C6 is tight enough as it is without having to do run around the Garanez's all damn day. Oh yes for those new to this concept when a Garenze shows up in a room.....

ALL OF YOU GET THE HELL OUT NOW. STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND RUN.


A single Garanze can literally end a C6 run in no time flat if people try to beat it senseless. Desinate a team leader and have them run circles around the stupid thing using it's own missles to damage it and nearby foes to make your job a lot easier.

Vol Opt you should also make sure you guys watch for the ceiling spikes and for god's sake don't run in circles around him from both directions seeing as getting crossed up is the last thing you want to do.

Challange 7 thru 9

This of course is Ruins 1 thru 3 and of course Falz awaits you at the end of C9. This is probably as blunt as I can get.

You NEED a FORCE for the last two runs because if you don't, you will get OWNED.

C7 can be done by 4 very good HUcasts seeing as I've done it that way before and tore C7 aparts with a good solid team. Of course the BEST section ID for C7 is YELLOWBOZE or PURPLENUM.

Oh & for the love a god when you see a Chaos Sorceror, Get either him or the Left Jewel out fast or a lot of people are going to be in a world of hurt seeing as he usually does a Rafoi right off the bat.

Not much else I can say but this mess is of course from my personal experience of playing C mode. I hope this helps you get your S ranks that I know each of you want so bad.

Good Luck...

What's an "S" rank? :D

[quote]Originally posted by NebraskaDragon:
<strong>What's an "S" rank? :D </strong><hr></blockquote>

I knew this question was going to be asked.

Ok an S-Rank is one of 30 Plus Different Weapons to choose from. It may be more now than 30 so don't hold me to that.

Generally an S-Rank Weapon is earned by defeating all 9 Challanges and thus earning your Rank.

When you defeat the last Challange of course within the givin time limits, You can pick one of 30 Basic Weapons.

Now Of course you're thinking what makes these so good. Well for one these S Ranks are VERY strong. A 1st up character that is albe to hold an S Rank will find themseleves beig able to handle the early parts of the game with little or no effort.

Also the major plus of having an S Rank for some people is the ability to name your weapon.

I.E. a TWIN you can name into RYUJI TWIN or a Needle can be named NEOGEO NEEDLE or a saber can be named SNK SABER ect ect.

The weapons once you earn them will make your job kicking ass a lot eaiser.

AnaK can explain more about the S Ranks. :)

Whoa...so many PSO players...I was thinking about getting it...I've played through the DC versions of it...but the cheating <img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" /> was very bad (to the point where I didn't want to play anymore <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" /> )...Have the done anything to stop the rampant online cheating in this version??? <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

I have the Japanese version, and will have to get the US version to play with you... but I should be on in a few weeks. I will wait for my HL to run out on my Japanese version first. So hard to say goodbye to a level 90 guy and a couple of 20s. ;)

They cant cheat on the US GC PSO. No cheating devise and most likely if a GS comes out for the cube it would plug into the same port as the modem/BBA. This is just what I have heard so far.

Derek, don't make me laugh slut :p

I'm going to pick my game up now so it won't be long, once I know the names of the ships and all I'll post the OFFICIAL neo-geo.com block

See ya guys in a few :)

Well once the cheat device is available, what is stopping people from getting whatever they want offline, and then poping the modem/bba back in and taking it online?

Turns out the BBA was discontinued ...

I got a 56k tho..

Derek tell me where to meet you bro I'll be on and I'll check this thread ;)

I just got done playing online with this guy. We were both hunters. I started at Lvl 1 and he was at 2. We cleared the forest and killed the dragon thing! It was much fun. By the time we were done I was at lvl 4 and he was 5.

I've been playing offline with a freind but he went home. I got a good start tho I'm level 10 and my other char is lvl 9 :)

I'm waiting for my "connection" to come on so I can get my HL

I have been playing all day. I am level 12 lol. :D

defintly played way tto much 4 player offline PSO tonite. My 3 friends and I are already 16.

I played all day yesterday and I'm level 10...

I had a bunch of money too but I was dumb and lost it..

I should be online by tonight.

Now for the "Official Neo-Geo.com PSO Eps. 1 & 2 block"

24:US/Antares 10-1

I'll post this on the first post for people new to the topic ;)

I hope to see you all there :)

i played last nite.
this game so needs a keyboard.
PSO=SEGA=LOVE

Checked with the 'Bot in Chat, BonusKun has not been in there for 22 hours+. I hope he remembers to eat. <img src="graemlins/eek2.gif" border="0" alt="[Eek 2]" />

I am at level 12 as well.

lol he has 2 days off so don't expect to see him off PSO <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />

Just an update. As of fucking around for a little bit offline, I just beat Dark Falz @ Level 20 in Normal Mode and am now Level 21.

See you guys in Hard Mode... :D

/me plays offline mode on DC - alone as he has no idea of getting online. :(

My chr is at lv 21 as well. What I found:


Much easier to lv up & better chance to see rare monsters--I haven't seen so many in one day.


I guess I am going to go online later tonight. Can't play the Epsisode 2--the temple area is confusing. It needs beter mapping. Having KB will be infinetly better though.

Opps I made another thread about this.

Anyhow Im on now so can someone meet me so we cn level up??

Look for La Magra.

Ya I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that the map in the Temple of Ep. 2 sucks. I keep running in circles in the Beta Temple area.

And I was curious if anyone else has run into slowdown. I have only noticed it in 4 player. Most of the time it is not that bad, but other time it is almost crippling.

But other then those 2 minor complaints, this game rocks!!

lol Man I'm falling behind a bit. I got sidetracked and decided to clear all the Offline Quests in Normal.

In good standing tho I now have a Soul Eater and that ATP is much higher than what I normally have.

Also finishing up the rest of the Quests to convert the Booma's Arm into a weapon once I'm done. :)

Oh yeah if you guys need tips on how to score a Soul Eater, Let me know.

Been awhile since I had went for one but the damage this thing dishes was worth going for. :)

Working on getting mine now ;)

man i never really was able to play online with my PSO ver.2 with my DC, i really dont know why that was but i hope i will be able to go online with the GC version

Well Im having a fun time with the GC version. I thought it was gonna be the same shit, but its different enough to keep me playing. Plus its been fun playing with Neo.com people(Loopz). I hope everyone can figure out a good time to meet up so we can exchange cards.

No one seems to go to the "official" server...

Well then you suck, if you don't go there, hang yourself.

I'm on Vega 03 rigt now. Going to do Challange Mode.

If you guys want to go for those S Ranks now is the time seeing as the game is plagued with a lot of n00bs who don't have any clue as how to do this mode.

See you there.

Oh yes. Game name = BonusKun :D

BonusKun: "Booma's Arm"? What's it become?

And has anyone made anything out of the "Rappy's Wing" yet? What's the "Photon Drop" for? Why am I even writing this? Orochi help me, I should be home playing more PSO, dammit! ;)
