To those into power leveling..., not sure if anyone else knows of this Options

[DarkEpyon]

There's a way to fight any given boss online as many times as you want in the same game.

1. Gather 3 other friends or willing participants.
2. Get to the boss you wish to do this on. (usually DF as he doles out the most EXP)
3. Have one person pipe back up and stay behind while the other 3 fight. (this 4th person is part of the key to the trick working)
4. Once said boss does its dying animation, the 3 involved in the fight must immediately unplug the modem cord from your system. (don't press start till the dying sequence is done or you won't get the EXP. Also, this is why the 4th stayed behind and didn't fight.)
5. Rotate between your team who stays behind and camps out (sometimes called the "room sitter") between fights.
6. Repeat as many times as you want.

If you do this with ultimate DF, I'm told you can garner upwards of 300-500k an hour if you have a stable team.

OK ok so hold on, I got some questions...

First off, Does this work with BBA as well?

Second, So as soon as the boss does the dying animation, you pull out the cord and wait till the purple exp number pops up and then press start to save and quit? (Cause of the Disc. Screen right?)

And Lastly, The fourth person stays in the team to keep the team open right? When the other three comeback does he/she (the 4th person) then have to disconnect and reconnect to totally reset the boss or can they stay?

This sounds like a great trick, im sure thats why people are leveling so fast, so anyone care to take a shot at this? Im in I just need somes peeps

Yes. I have BBA myself and worked flawlessly when I did it last night.

That is correct. Press start too soon, and you don't get the exp.

Yes, the 4th personn is there to keep the room open with a pipe to the boss warp. And no, #4 does not have to dc. The other three that did the fighting have to though since according to the game, the boss still exists even after the other 3 killed it and dc'd.

Keep in mind I didn't come up with this. I just learned this from a friend who supposedly learned it from a friend who was in like the 180s or so.

Damn, this sounds like a good trick. I totally understand how it works, can't believe I never heard of it before. Although DF gives the most exp, I think OF runs would be more efficient (at least for me and most of my teams) because he takes about 1-2 minutes for the first form and less than a minute for the 2nd.

[DarkEpyon]

I've already told Rinn and Clay about this last night. The former wants no part in it, the latter seemed somewhat intrigued.

[Crushinator]

We can just cycle the "waiter" player every battle, so nobody gets left out of the experience in the long run. I'm definetly gonna be online tonight to try this trick out, hope to see you guys there.

[AC9breaker]

Hmm this is truely intruiging. Being that I recently just corrupted I dont have much to lose and this techniquie seems soundproof I like to join in this, just tell me where and when.

Yeah, sorry... Levels just aren't that important to me. While the plan does sound pretty fool-proof, I'd still rather not risk the chance of something going wrong.

Besides... exploiting this loop-hole feels an awful lot like duping to me. (like you're duping the boss?) And we all know how I feel about dupes. I don't do the Canabin trick, and I won't do this one.

My feelings would probably be different if I had been through one or more corruptions like some of you have. But for now... I'll stick to the old-fashioned method, thanks.

[DarkEpyon]

Apparently the top dogs at PSOW thought the same as Rinn. This is about the same as the goddamn canabin trick, only giving out more exp. They let THAT one slide, though it's under the same principle. It's possible to get almost as much exp with the canabin trick, yet with the bosses, there's the matter of those getting the full exp from the final shot. To hell with them and their buggy site and double standards. Needless to say I got a good laugh out of it.

[Crushinator]

I saw your same post at PSOW DarkEpyon, and yeah they are a buncha hypocrites for "allowing" discussion of the canabin method, but not this one, when it is exactly the same thing.

Well I actually get more exp from OF, did you mean "although OF give the most exp, I think DF runs would be more efficent..."?

Cause last night i got 40k for DF for ult and 55k for OF on ult.

[DarkEpyon]

I think Olga gives less exp then Falz. Final shot on Olga only gave me about 45k I believe. Final shot on DF doles out a whopping 50k.

[DarkEpyon]

HAHA their anonymous posting doesn't even work, they're so messed up. Well, here's the a-bomb I'm meaning to drop on them...

Haha... I know that a vast majority of this is going to be chopped up and skewed from its original content... First off, the statement of ths being "different from the rafoie trick or piping for pal rappies" is omplete horse shit... Hardware or not, same damn thing. You might as well ban the rock trick in ruins as well as the goddamn Konami code for chrissakes! This is by far the most shoddily coded and incompetently managed PSO site I've ever seen. A good chunk of your information on various items/monsters/what-not is inaccurate. Of course I know no one's perfect, but don't completely mislead the poor HUcast doing research on which rare weapon he should use to fit his needs. A majority of your moderators and senior staff (not ALL of them. there are a few good ones here and there) are so full of themselves, it's amazing how they can even see anything with their heads jammed so far up their own asses. Then you have a leg-humper who thinks s/he's a cross between a human and a cat (I wonder if this goes beyond the standard role-playing) and probably wants to take over the site and send it even further into hell. Said individual also likes to fake his/her own death (with cancer, of all things) and play on the emotions of those friends who actaually CARED! True this may be a couple years old, but still, it's just wrong on so many levels. Aura, I know this is pretty much undoing what you're trying to do, and I appreciate your efforts. I only posted the method in question to help others, corrupted or not, level quickly. I know everyone will have differing opinions, but if I am to be met with this level of ingratitude, then I shall take my business elsewhere! Have a nice life. >Everybody

I don't think you should try and post this there. It is a waste of time in my eyes, everyone knows how that site is run and they have banned alot of people who didn't deserve it. It is common knowledge how hypocritical they are when it comes to posting cheats. I don't think this will do anything but stir up more trouble, just let this go DarkEpyon, I support you. just walk away from there cleanly.

[DarkEpyon]

Perhaps the "MySQL error" I got when I tried it earlier is a blessing in disguise. Well, you're right... no sense adding fuel to the fire.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

DF takes much longer (about 5 minutes total) to defeat than OF, and is riskier to kill IMO because of his Rafoie and Rabarta moves on the 3rd form. DF does give more exp, you probably just weren't paying attention when the numbers popped up. Also keep in mind that the person landing the final blow gets 25% more exp than all the other players, so if you didn't "finish off" DF, but did get the last hit on OF, then yes, you would get more exp for OF.

Wtf? Now you're banned? That's bull shit. Hardware exploit, my ass.

You can always come to The Arcade and post that. Hell, you can post anything you please as long as it's not PK/CK/NOL/etc. (yes, you can post actual CODES, omg).

Besides, three mods from The Arcade post on this board, and I believe an admin lurks from time to time, so you won't feel too out of place.

Well that's what it is...

I have no idea what went on at PSOW, and I am not about to stand here and defend either side... that's not what this post is about.

But let's at least be honest about what we're dealing with. I can't speak for them, but I seriously doubt the programmers at SonicTeam intended for you to yank your network connection and be able to fight the bosses over and over again as a result. This trick is an exploit, and in my opinion it's just the same as duping.

What do you do when you dupe an item? That's right... you yank your network connection.

The only real difference here is that you actually have to do the work and fight the boss. But that still doesn't make it right in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anyone with a bank full of duped 12-star rares, and I will be equally unimpressed by someone who has attained level 200 through the use of this exploit.

I've been there before and have had an account there since 2002. Haven't gone there in AGES though.

Whoo!

Yeah we feel that codes exsist and as long as they aren't "harmful" or directly interfere with another person's enjoyment of the game (and we don't particularly feel duping does this, btw...not every duper hands out rares on Vega, but I digress) such as PKing, NOLing etc...bad things aren't welcomed, but we don't ban people even if they do post "bad" code or other bad things. That's what the "Move Topic" buttons are for. ;)

Flow is faster then falz, i've been in grps where we said "screw seeing Flowen, lets just jack this A-hole up as quickly as possible".

Equiped all our strongest gear and dropped olga flow in a seriously quick time. Only problem is that you would need a Hunewearl and FO to swap in and out since you'll need that shifta/zalure to kill em fast. When fighting falz it is possible to drop his 3rd form(ball bottom) really quickly, but it depends on luck. If Falz plays nice and stays still for a change u can drop the form in a split sec. The last form is almost always a pain in the ass, and a time waster.

Hmm...the way I see it you could gain some seriously fast exp this way, but your just gimping yourself on the rares. Once you hit a certain level, gaining additional levels don't make a huge difference on your performance. Fighting bosses over and over would be some good fun, but it would become very boring after awhile.

I just couldnt be assed to d/c and reconnect all the time.
