Hamletic's Tales from the Trenches

Week 14: Earth

I. Big Bang(s) (HardCore)

27:33 - HamleticTortoise | DocSteely (v)


Retrieval - Devices - Targets

IMO this is one of the most difficult challenges in the series, as argument I could use the numbers of tries it took us to complete it, including a particularly painful one in which we were both killed, both out of gels, with less than 30s to go on extraction. I told you before I love playing with the blue girls, but a vanguard off-host against Trollectors (they earned that name for me throughout these tries )  is not my everyday bread and butter. I went several times to the drawing board, even co-opted poor inert as a guinea pig for my latest experiments (a huge thank you, man! ) and I finished by discarding Stasis completely.
You'll see the result watching the video, it's one of our best games together; as you'll note we had W6 devices and W10 targets...

I know right? I have the highest respect for the Asari vanguard, definitely one of the strongest kits in the game - so strong in fact, I rarely use her on gold; in the context of this specific challenge, she also has the advantage of actually surviving abombs "accidents" most of the time So I wanted to slow her down a little. The crazy thing however is that I found the Lancer to go actually well with her on gold! Sure, there are better guns, but it's light, primes quite well, has decent damage, and has good range; I personally liked the pairing. I suspect the Lancer is a gun that suffers the jump from gold to platinum greatly - on gold it trashes mooks handily, and soldier classes can up its damage enough to take on big units, while being light enough that it can be used by casters, who have other ways of dealing with bullet sponges; on platinum, I guess its damage just doesn't cut it anymore.

As for our challenge, I am glad we got it done. It's fast and furious and fun, but only in small doses

Not every thorw is a biotic kill tho.I don't know why,perhaps the force steals the kills.

The 7 Tiers of Neufchatel (Hardcore)

Tier 1 (Krogan Vanguards with Reegar)
16:10 - frank_is_crank | Sonashii | 10WS [v]

Tier 2 (Turian Ghosts with Harrier)
16:55 - frank_is_crank | Sonashii [v]

Tier 3 (Geth Trooper Soldiers with Acolyte)
18:04 - frank_is_crank | Sonashii [v]

After a short break from challenges, I bumped into Frank. He suggested we could scrub some more so I agreed. Wanted to find out if his host is worth anything (similar to mine). In the end I had no lag whatsoever. Could biotic charge anytime I wanted which I showed in the video it was terrible. Absolutely worthless. Frank! L2host and thanks.

But seriously, we plan to finish the series in the near future. Also times could've been even better but I was a bit rusty and run around the map like a headless chicken, looking for spawns


Project Blackwatch / full team missions (Insanity)
l. Special-Op Reinforcements (redo)
22:12 - DocSteely | LonneganD | The_Doctor46N7 | Sonashii

This one was done like a month ago. And since we haven't finished it (and don't know when it will happen) I decided to post it.

Hahah, sorry about that Frank. I guess I'll never learn how to submit I'll try to remember next time though. I can always send a message with all the results, no need to hit me

Don't be so harsh to yourself Doc. Everyone has their bad moments. It's sad to hear that stupid Banshee tricked you that way. Don't worry though, I'm sure you two will beat Rio in no time. You and Hamletic are very good and skilled players so it won't be a problem. Just need to play it tactically If a noob like me finished it you will do it too.

Also I would blame Aragorn89 for that sync-kill. Did you notice that all Banshees are nervous and unsatisfied since he left us and went to Andromeda?

muahmuah complained that I'm not soloing on Platinum. So there.

Build.

Oh, and you know why I don't have 5WS on this one?! Cause on wave 2 a Praetorian in the atrium (meaning at least 2 solid obstructions to its LoS before firing) downed me with its heat-seeking missile salvo while I was rolling down the ladder at the LZ. I'm sure it wasn't the other one, cause it was right in front of me. Working as intended^TM.

Nice job,but i wanted 132422143 pull ups
