The Phantom Dust Thread

I'll be on around 8, and BITCHES GONNA GET SPANKED. All y'all gonna be Nintendogs and I'm gonna be Drinky Crow. Y'all gonna DANCE when I say DANCE.

(actually, I'll probably get to stare at another sub-600 rating by the end of the night.)

:lol

I'll definitely be up for some punishment tonight.

Got another map we can use (with no pits of death.)

This thread also should be in the gaming forum. Since we started the hoopla, many people have bought the game and we've gotten a nice Xbox Live community of PD gaffers. Sure, it's Xbox Live, but had this been in the online forum, no one would've noticed.

Besides, PD >>>>> GoW!

HARRRRRR!

I agree the thread should have stayed in the main forum. A lot of my posts have been about strategy more than matchmaking.

Nice games, Rast, Brandon. I think I'm starting to get a hold on the game, well, not really but at least I have a semi-plausable deck now :D Probably a lil too much melee, though.

Does anyone have a breakdown of what the different schools specialize in?
 
Rast (who's Rast?), Brandon, and Alex, post your GamerTags (or one of you post all three) here so I can add some more PD dudes to my list.

Rastex. Same name on the boards and on XBL.

I posted mine a bit ago, Garliage, it's my third tag since back in the day, heh, sorry for the confusion.

Also, Brandon F is No Depth.

I'm getting a little better, but damn story mode takes an obscene ammount of time to play.

I've been off and on all weekend, I'll add some more folks to my friends list later. I may be back on about 10ish PST if anyone wants to play?

I finally started playing this game yesterday. And basically it's what everyone has said. I'm so far pretty amazed at the production values this game has already demonstrated. Very impressive graphics and animation. Also, the music is very atmospheric. I like it. It gives the whole game this other-worldly feeling. The gameplay so far has been pretty darn nice. I've mostly only played offline (just got to Chapter 3) and I've played 1 battle online with 3 other people. So far, definitely a well spent $20. :)

Someone needs to compile a list of gamertags for the first post of the thread!

I hope you all are still playing this when I can finally get a copy. Fucking Gamecrazy and their limited stock. Also, hope it's okay not to have the voice chat.

I finally picked up a copy of this yesterday because of demi's constant girlish whining about it. I'm in chapter 3 right now, I'll probably hop online in the next couple days so I can get my ass kicked.

It's fine, I did it myself but I found myself bored because people were talking and I wasn't :)()...then I turned on my mic.

The kooky, irrelevant GA chat is part of the fun! Seriously though, fun matches tonight. I'll likely be on again tommorow, I'm addicted. :mad:

Beat it!

That last boss was very easy, yet very annoying (IJoel knows what I am talking about)! Ending was pretty cool, revealed a lot. I recorded it but for some reason it didn't have sound so I trashed the entire thing. Oh well.

If you speak to the nurse, you can access all video clips, if you're intent on recording it.

Brandon, clear your damn PM box.

I'll probably be on around 6ish PST, early night! I'll add more folks to my list tonight, so accept, goddamnit.
 
How do you get super rare skills anyway? I've gotten 1 by getting 30 wins online, but I don't know how else you can get them.

If somebody is trading an ultra rare online for lots of credits, that's the only other avenue to getting skills 301-340.

Yeah, 30 online wins per 1 rare skill is rough. I've been playing the game for 350+ hours and I only have fifteen rares. :( (Meaning I have about 600 online wins.)

:O

I've logged around 70hrs and I've got ten rares (plus one duplicate). You've gotta win more. :D

Vacuum Palm sounds good. I sent you a friend request (Confidence Man), when I catch you online we'll swap.

I've just gotten on Live recently to get the 1.10 skill update. Guess I'll try my luck after I finish single player (I'm on battle#95 right now, I think). If you see Unsoulled on XBL, that would be me.

So hey, I'm trying to run account recovery on this new xbox, but I think I'm either:

a) Entering information wrong

or

b) gamertag is banned



Could my gamertag be possibly banned along with my xbox? Is there a way I can confirm this so I can just somehow close my free trial?

edit: To cancel your Xbox Live account, please call (800) 4MY-XBOX.


I might just cancel this name and make a new one on my debit if this won't work.

What exactly did that update do, anyhow?

Pre-patch 1.10 was rough. Pin Down was virtually unstoppable and it was even harder to connect with those skills that Demi listed. I'm still hoping for skill update 1.20 though. The text description on Levitate is still incorrect!

Great matches tonight w/Brandon F, Alex and later on with Mike Works. I'll be back tomorrow night with a whole new arsenal to try out. I bought my fourth case right after we got done.

Fuck it, gonna cancel tomorrow. Be back with a new name! Any suggestions!?

You are probably just entering something wrong. I had to call Xbox support when I moved my Live account from my old Xbox. I guess I had thrown a capital in somewhere where I didn't remember.

Yeah I'm gonna talk with them first before I cancel, that's a very last step. If I go through, hey cool, then I can change my account to my stuff.

I freakin miss you guys every night man. I was on last night but the only one left was Icedpez.
I wish the game let you message people within the game. Cause unless you guys check your friends list you wont see a new person pop up. Right?

So I need to add "demifish"? No capital at the start?
 

Alex

Member
Yeah, I got thrown off last night. Lousy unruly internet. Sorry about that.

Did you guys manage to coerce Joel or MAF into a slot via voice message threats, afterwards? :p

I'll probably be on about 6ish PST.

I will be on all night tonight (in IRC, on the boards), i will even leave XBL open. I am only on chapter 2 so we would have to do random skill sets...

MAF, BuddyC and I played last night for about an hour or so. We invited the other gaffers online at the time, but no one joined us.

I get home late all this week (around 10-1030 pst) so it's hard :p

Next week will be a different story, however. If you guys are still playing this...I know how fickle GAF is ;b

I sent MAF a voice message telling him to come to No Depth, Garliage and my game because it was better.

:lol

That's the thing when there's six of us online... the game could really use some six player maps.
