gooieooie 277 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Oh, yeah, I'd be down for a writing contest or DQifying an existing board game! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hexoc the LMS 0 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Maybe Contests to see who can complete certain challenge runs or fights? Like say "Reach the Ultimate Dragovian Trial of VIII with a Sub-Level 50 party" This does not mean reach the Ultimate Dragon, just have access to that trial. Or a speedrun-esque contest to see who can get the shortest completion times in certain games. Or classic Party restriction contests. Like "Defeat Estark in DQMJ/DQMJ2 with Rank C or below monsters."

We did something similar when the mobile re-releases happened, and I was hoping we could continue them in some way. I'm all for speed runs or challenge runs. A good one for DQ5 would be the game and not recruit ANY monsters outside Saber. Edited March 15, 2016 by YangustheLegendaryBandit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plattym3 2,441 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah, I've been slammed with work lately. My wife has been working at my school for 7 weeks now and we carpool. I used to get to work like 30-60 minutes early daily and get stuff done. She's a PE teacher and has no need for that (and she's 8.5 months pregnant) so now I show up right on time. So, I'm having to shift that work time somewhere else. Spring Break soon. I'll need to get something else started ASAP! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, there's a whole guide on Gamefaqs for a Human Only run. Its much easier than you think. the only challenging parts are the parts in Gen II where you're alone.

We did something similar when the mobile re-releases happened, and I was hoping we could continue them in some way. I'll be honest, I completely dropped the ball on that with DQHTWTWATBB. Meant to do a Lightspeed Challenge for that game & it just slipped my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait!Was going to get it up today, but my own popularity did me in. Had an extra hour of free time midday toady as my 4th graders were gone, but my room filled up with 6th and 7th graders coming to visit as they noticed my room was empty. About a dozen hung out for so long I didn't get to it. Edited March 18, 2016 by Plattym3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meant to do a Lightspeed Challenge for that game & it just slipped my mind. It's still doable. Since it's almost 6 months out, could do something like choose a challenge and have the quickest time. Well, let me explain exactly what our lightspeed runs were. It's not doable now. See, we started these lightspeed run contests the day the mobile games got released and anyone of the top 10 people who could finish the game in X number of weeks (depending on the game, we lengthened and shortened it accordingly) got the lightspeed badge. I'm on it for the DQVII and DQVIII releases, but plenty of people have beaten DQHTWTWATBB by now, so it's not really feasible. Wracking my brain, I can't really come up with a challenge for DQHTWTWATBB that we'd be assured that someone hasn't already done at this point. The point of those contests was more to reward those players that bought and played the game. We hoped in our own little way we were supporting purchasing DQ and thereby getting us more DQ. Who knows? Maybe it worked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 569 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 ahh, I see! Well, I guess these can be done once DQ 7 & 8 are out, right? I know plenty of people here are probably pretty good at knowing what to do for those two games Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,570 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I was afraid there would be a light speed contest for the 3DS games. Gotta get them badges (but not really)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,570 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That sounds like my kind of badge. I don't have Heroes, but if there was a Completionist contest I would be all for it. After all Platty, you've seen my efforts with another franchise and trying to complete it entirely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That could work for VII and VIII too, with the Monster Book or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
