Themed Challenges and Hall of Fame

Did some more duos with Balbock last weekend

Themed Duo Challenges 1 (Hardcore)

Set 3 - Annual Armax Arena Arsenal Assessment

I. Gangs of the Terminus

29:29 - fraggle | Balbock [v]

Targets / Targets / Devices

When one of the requirements is Waves Survived, it's always great to go for it right away since the first few waves are the easiest. This time, we thought we'd make it a little more interesting We survived W3, 4 and 5 instead
Other than that it was a fairly relaxing game for Condor, and things were charged and heads blown off. Nice.


II. GI Armature

22:06 - fraggle | Balbock [v]

Hack / Targets / Devices

Remember the thing with Waves Survived? Yeah, it was so much fun to make it more challenging, so I decided to drop right at the end of W1 So we had to endure until W6, and we managed. But then this whole game was quite easy, even for me playing the Javelin GI (I know people can do amazing things with it, but I'm not one of those ). Despite whining at the beginning that I won't hit anything, I even managed to get the headshots, bwahaha (and killed some Phantoms in the most satisfactory way!).
By now I do like the Javelin a bit, but it's definitely not my preferred SR.


III. Spinzone Bonus!

45:01 - fraggle | Balbock [v]

Devices / Devices / Delivery

Dear oh dear, where do I start? Maybe first fuck Trollis and HGlacier. And then Avenger. And Devices.
We failed the first try. To be honest I had expected a lot more fails (with raging and then equipping the Geth Scanner out of frustration), but somehow we managed on the second try. There were so many close calls though... In the end it was pure luck, but who cares
We used the almighty Cryo Ammo vs Trollis, somehow we always like that, haha. The whole match was almost as tense as our Plat duo back in February. And almost the same time...
It was a pretty terrible weird game overall, our gels and ops packs already cut down to half after W3. I was prepared for the worst, then we somehow managed 3WS
Sadly the consumable status never gets any better, so I was stomped in W9 and Bai had to clutch. Well done, you!

In hindsight, maybe I should have respecced my little ball. No fitness and just relying on Dren Mod on this tight map might not have been a good idea for me, but anyway, it's done

N3.3 Awaking the Eye of Wrath

42:21 - xQS7 (268414 pts)

Escort / targets / devices

W10 Jade devices... W10 clean up missile was 4 x phantom so I guess that kind of sums it up.

N4.2 Morning War

39:40 - xQS7 (291 060 pts)

Targets / targets / devices

Hey Bioware, plz buff the geth! They need more ranged units!

at this rate xQS6 you ll finish that n7 stuff before 1 week is gone and old timer scrubs here ... well ... shame on them ;p

N5.1 Bray-Fist

33:59 - xQS7 (232 363 pts)

Escort / hack / devices

The toasters have absolutely no chance against the mighty Batarian, WITH PLEASURE!

Aye mano

always a good reason for gif spam and shitposting, especially from movies I haven't seen in years

Cheers mates:




To keep it on topic, I failed my only attempt at 7.1 over the weekend. It wasn't a good run and shouldn't even be considered an attempt.

I think her breakthrough was this...

Executioner being buggy AF doesn't help either

Almost half a year after completing N7 I and II, I finally had time to tackle Ariake again and this time with some success!

With that, the series is over. Gotta say, while it was frustrating at times (looking at you, Ash and Ariake), definitely a fun experience! A big thank you to everyone involved in making the themed challenges and keeping it going!

Regarding the last three challenges: While N7.I wasn't the easiest challenge, I enjoyed it a lot! Glacier is a fun map for me and with the drone, Cerberus didn't even know what hit them It took me few tries to get it done but since Glacier is my favourite map, it was definitely a fun experience, especially with learning how to get the grabs the easiest way. I just checked in the video, and found out I even was killed by the last Centurion on wave 1 . But with very good objectives it worked out in the end, even though I messed up extraction very bad...

For N7.II, I was challenged by Sonashii to beat his time. That meant going into tryhard mode and not much room for mistakes. The Black Widow is a more than decent gun I guess and while I sometimes missed all three shots on a sitting Trooper, at other times I was on roll Objects are annoying on London so I was lucky there. I managed to glitch the hack and could have messed it up on wave 10 with the escort which of course left me in the open so Primes could snipe me. Nukes dealt with that Nonetheless, this challenge was more fun than I expected!

Ariake is dedicated to HamleticTortoise , who was the first to introduce me to the themed challenges. You have unfinished business in the milky way.
Apart from that, I am happy that I managed it in under an hour, there was a lot of shield boosting and cloaking involved. The Volus was in musical mode first, but at some point he realised that all those songs were distracting him and if he wouldn't be careful his Banshee friend would hug him way too strong. Gotta say though, the music in the beginning was very relaxing, though Banshee-love won't heal your heart There were some tight moments, but this one time I managed not to get hugged by Banshees!

Thanks also to everyone who accompanied me along the way and gave me useful suggestions, too many to tag you all
DistigousForest and MPApr2012 , go get that N7 rank! If I can manage it, anyone can And you more than deserve it!
xQS6 Your latest submissions motivated me to give it a try again, thanks for that I guess And good luck on your road to N7! Seems like you'll be there in no time!
