Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 6:17 am Post subject: Medicate challenge impossible to Diamond? |
|
|
For the challenge, I can't diamond this at all. Even if I waste no SP, activate in places that are seemingly decent for points, and keep all at an 8x combo, I can't get 50,000 under SP. Any paths that could help?
EDIT: After more attempts to path, I'm thoroughly convinced this challenge is impossible. My best is still about 15,000 points away from 50k - that's on Expert difficulty, with hitting all SP phrases with about 99.9% of the bar full, activating in sensible places, sustaining an 8x combo throughout every single SP usage, and ending the song with no SP left. I honestly don't see how this can be possible. _________________

I haven't even gotten to this song on career yet. If I do get it unlocked tomorrow I'll take a peek at it for you. _________________

Alright, I think it's in the Cairo Bazaar venue, but I might be wrong. I'd greatly appreciate if some others could look at it and figure it out. I certainly hope there's no non-diamondable challenge. _________________

I'll definetly check this one out as well. |

Well I'm not sure if this would work...but I know you can still do the challenge if you're in a normal band(not sure about mixed instruments) if that's the case maybe it'd work if you used unison SP to give you more points? _________________

I actually have 809 stars, and I'm only missing the vocals and band challenges, and 3 stars from 2 different drum challenges. I don't believe there's as many as 909 stars. _________________

Actually, that's a good idea. Isn't it true that SP overflows into your band mates meters once yours is full when you play multiplayer? If so, I'd be glad to play with someone and try this out. I know that if one person gets the Diamond in a group, all the other people playing with that person get the Diamond as well, so anyone interested would have something in it for them. We would just go through the song and only one person (probably me because I know the song front and back now) would activate, the rest would just have the SP go to that one guy. _________________

Also, for every "pick one song" challenge on vox/drums/band I played Song 2 on Guitar to get the basic 6 stars, so the max is not above 900. I remember Memesis talking about a guy who had 808 stars, but it's clearly not the max possible.

Why wouldn't you? The fact that you're playing on Wii doesn't really make a difference. You can still play the song, and it's the same chart...
@ OP: I heard the scoring system is different on PS2. What console are you playing on? _________________

It doesn't matter, PS2 doesn't have challenges. _________________

Well it's completely possible to get 9 stars in every gig. There are 85 songs in GH5 and I think there are 16 or so pick a song challenges. So if you get 9 stars on each song and challenge thing than shouldn't it be completely possible to get 909 stars? |

I'm just saying because most people here are on 360/PS3 I didn't think I could help anyone. And to stop the arguing 909stars is the max. _________________

you're kind of right. it all makes sens.
85 + 16 = 101
101 X 9 = 909 stars.
so yes 909 stars is possible after all... _________________
