Hey everyone! Welcome to the Mission Room, where you can challenge yourself or others! No Adhoc Party or X-Link Kai required!
So what is the Mission Room?
Simple!
If you've got a great challenge, share it with the rest of DF! Post your Mission in its own thread with the specifics.
For example...
Defeat a 9/Extreme, Lv105 Sephiroth in Edge of Chaos
Use any character.
No summonstones.
No equipment or accessories.
Make sure that all of your specifics are down and clear for others to understand.
If you would like to set up a mission, simply read these guidelines (http://dissidiaforums.com/showthread.php?t=6405), post your Contract in the Mission Room as a new thread. It will then be screened for its parameters and difficulty by the Mercenary Committee before being put up. Please comply with any requests the committee may give you.
[If there is any problem, contact myself (http://dissidiaforums.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=112), Advent-EVA (http://dissidiaforums.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=115), or Spyder (http://dissidiaforums.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=107) with your questions.]
Keep in mind that if you do contract a Mission, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to grade the mercenaries' attempts. Don't just post a mission and then leave everyone high and dry, otherwise we'll remind you that you have grading to do, and if we don't hear from from, we lock the Mission until you get on it.
"What's in it for me?"
Any mercenary worth their salt won't bother taking on a job if the deal isn't sweetened right? Contractors can give out Reputation for completion of a Mission, but there's also the satisfaction of knowing your score beats out all the rest.
Each Mission completion will earn you points. You'll gain more points dependent on several parameters, such as time elapsed, HP remaining, specials used, and more. Whoever is at the top of the Rankings Board for three consecutive months gains the title of "Legendary Mercenary!" You want that title, beat out the competition and stay on top!
But first, you'll need to sign in at the Rankings Board (http://dissidiaforums.com/showthread.php?8875-012-Rankings-Board-amp-Sign-Ups) for your score to count for anything. Follow the rules there carefully.
Making the Grade
The scoring system will be done by ranking you, the mercenary on certain aspects of each challenge, just like any other mission. A mission, can give out a maximum of 500/1000/1500/2000 points (depending on difficulty), to be divvied up between the different parameters listed by the Contractor.
Bonus points can also be earned that can boost a mercenary's score past the rank's point limit. However, a Contractor can only give out a maximum of 250/500/750/1000 bonus points (depending on difficulty). Bonus objectives can sometimes completely change how you tackle a Mission, so find the best way for you to get the highest grade possible
Difficulty Level
Missions also have a difficulty ranking. This helps you get a quick feel for just what kind of trouble you're in for, and how much you'll be getting as a payout. The easier the Mission, the less points you can get, so take on the toughest Missions you can for a great pile of scratch!
Difficulty Name - Maximum Points Allowed - Maximum Bonus Points Allowed - Description
Squire - 500 - 250 - An easy quick mission for some easy quick points.
Knight - 1000 - 500 - A medium difficulty mission which will take time to complete.
SOLDIER - 1500 - 750 - A hard mission which will test the mercenary's patience and will take a lot of time to complete.
Riskbreaker - 2000 - 1000 - Missions don't get any harder than this. It will take nerves of steel, sweat, blood and lots of sleepless nights to complete this mission.
Keep in mind that most missions will be under Knight difficulty and the Squire and SOLDIER mission difficulties will be sparse. The Riskbreaker will be the rarest.
If you're taking on the Mission, and you're successful, save a replay, upload it, and post it in the respective thread showing that you've completed the challenge! However, DO NOT post in a Mission thread that you've completed a challenge unless you also have a replay to show as proof. No place-holding, please. Also, if you see that the contractor has not been grading your mission, then contact the contractor via PM or visitor's message to remind them.
Remember! You only get one shot! So make it count. Once you upload your attempt to a Mission, that's it. Hope you did well. There are no retries, outside of you failing. However, you can work at the Mission to your heart's content before uploading a replay. Strive for perfection!
So there you have it folks. Think you've got what it takes? Think you can test your mettle against the challenges that await you? Can you make it to the top, or will you wimp out like a chicken-wuss.
Are you a chicken-wuss?
Then show me.
Show us all!
Now go, you mercenaries! Earn your keep!
