On the first try I texted Alfonse to kill streak and he went to town with his missile launcher - only to realize it's Wave 9 where you aren't allowed to nuke. It really felt like W10, so with your text, i didnt even notice there was no objectives !! I was really focused on KS, and i think i even managed to miss it !!! Really fun one indeed, i m even a bit disapointed u dont have to work a bit for them medals, them come naturally, i think i ll go for all silver next time (for those who dont see what we are talking about, we both need all bronze medal kills and 1 KS for this run : weapon, melee, grab, tek, biotic, KS)

N7 InsanityN1.III.Cyone Must Not Fall!48:46 - x3lander (324 347 pts) 10 WSGot sub 50 on the third successful try. I had several other attempts while experimenting with Phaeston setups and/or quitting on w6 and w10 Targets. Devices were surprisingly much less painful on this map than I remember, but I lucked out with 3 escorts on that last one. Also, 10 Waves Survived cause of ridiculous brain-dead turian. Disgusting.

No, I was testing which setup (weapon mods + ammo type) had what overall killing speed, crowd control and boss-stopping power. Regarding those, scope is way behind after damage, penetration and mag size mods.
I don't like the scope on ARs, except for one funky Destroyer build where you use the Argus basically as a sniper rifle. It limits you situational awareness way too much, which is detrimental when soloing and besides, with the turian stability bonuses landing the occasional headshot is not a problem. The spread is OK for a mid-range map like Reactor and the Collectors are a big targets anyway.

Ok, in my story, i could nt land anything (read more than 1/2 2/3 of the shots) at 10m and no headshots at more than 5-7m (out of cover that is), and i dont mind recoil, it s just really wide inaccuracy laterally. I guess i over evaluated that stuff.

I guess i over evaluated that stuff. Don't think of it like that, the Phaeston is a classic dakka dakka AR. Your job is to maintain a constant stream of bullets, line up enemies so you can shoot several at once and only then to look for headshots. If it helps, play the TGI like a HSol ARushing the Typhoon - the dakka never stops and headshots are just something to amuse yourself with while the wave budget gets depleted.

As always we did the next one as well and failed horribly several times. 5WS is hard. i must, say, i m not complaining and so (well i am ), but shadow melee and even SS is not working well of host (or even maybe on host), at least it was nt this time. And so yeah, mostly 5WS was hard cause of me

Giant Rippaz N7 InsanityN1.II.CDEM43:40 - x3lander(403 694 pts) N3.I.Chooser Of The Slain38:08 - x3lander(439 135 pts)Got some frustrating bleedouts and instagibs on the first one, cause I played quite recklessly, and after I found my groove, I got Targets on 3 and unglitchable hack on 6 (or at least a very hard to glitch one). I did Chooser of the slain on the second attempt, it was quite relaxing since you can hold ground much better thanks to lol Annihilation field and lol Incendiary glitch. I can shave off 3 more minutes from each challenge (more on the second one), but I'm not in the mood to grind too much, and besides I don't wanna blow a fuse too early. I might be attempting to redo one very harrowing and long Rippaz challenge next...

... I introduced some of the folks from N7S community to BSN challenges. I think they liked it. And I even made things easy for them, by playing in casual mode, letting them curry me and all. Just to give them fun times and show them that our challenges can be doable I totally didn't noob it up and played like a PUG. No no no. That didn't happenNice, after which show them Outlier or FFTL...

Varus, give me back my legions! Fagnan, give me back my ME 2 Revy! I don't mind that it has such a wide spread that it can barely hit the broad side of a barn from 20 meters. I don't mind that the recoil is ridiculous enough that you almost have to use the gun at shotgun range. But, for the love of God, give it at least some more damage!!! N7 InsanityN2.III.183 Pull-ups56:56 - x3lander (326 260 pts)Aaaaaand finally a run without Targets. Things went OK for the most part, with the exception of the end of wave 3, where the last Pyro got me with just one bar of armor left, cause I'm that kind of special. I could have done this even 3 or so minutes faster, but my concentration slipped on wave 10 and it got hairy. I mistakenly thought that the 2 Primes were together, but one of the f*cking desklamps was camping the middle of the map. Naturally, after I nuked it, the game respawned it in the very same place, my second nuke went wide, cause loldronelolstagger and afterwards I ended up having to clean the wave with 1 missile, 1 ops pack and no gels, being surrounded in the shit end of the map. Almost didn't finish 11, cause Ravagers, Primes and Phantoms snipe through the whole f*cking buggy map, but the health-gate ... held. Since I had grenade gear, nukes were 1 on wave 5, 2 on 8, and 3 left for wave 10. I went with a 65654 build after a few experiments, since it seemed the best compromise between stopping power, survivability and damage output. Carnage sucks hairy balls. I tried a fully evolved Carnage for the price of the headshot damage, which makes Brutes and Ravagers die faster, but headshots serve me better against mooks and Banshees. It got me the better time progression: I kept up with clusum's time until wave 4 and then started to pick up speed, until I finished wave 9 with about 6 minutes advantage and a workable leftover of consumables. The one saving grace of this godawful map is the ability to spam nades, though. p.s. In other news, apparently somebody reskinned the ME2 Revy and called it Typhoon. So if you see me in the next few days cleansing my palate with a proper HSol dakka, don't be surprised.

Proxy Mine Rippaz Sniping... N7 InsanityN4.I. Servant of the People38:00 - x3lander (331 370 pts)I could go below 35, but the game started being bitchy and London is a f*cking pustule of a city, anyway. I'm leaving this for now, since I might wanna redo End Scene someday and I gotta have some sanity left for that. It is getting dangerously low.

The Halls of Fame are up to date! Almost a hundred submissions accumulated since January and they were made across many HoFs, so forgive me if I miss mentioning anyone's achievements. The update includes runs posted up to April 28th. Congrats to: * Pfefferi for completing the insanity stages of The Gordian Hour and joining the ranks of Gordian Anomalies and Exceptions with a very nice cumulative time! * fraggle and Balbock for completing the Tales from the Trenches series on gold and all the gold duo challenges in Servant of the People! * Alfonsedode for completing all Operation Alliance Troopers solos on gold! Thank you all for continued interest and patience. As you probably noticed, the updates are happening at a steadily decreasing frequency. It's tedious work, and it's been getting harder for me to find the time and motivation to do it. Basically, I plan to retire this year. Not right away -- I intend to finish the things I started, like the TCHOF statistics thingie and the data repository on GitHub. I'll do another tour of updates in a couple months, but that will probably be it. What then? Well, it depends on you! If there's anyone interested in taking this job, send me a PM and I'll talk you through what it involves. I'll also be happy to help you learn the ropes, talk with Pres about site editing permissions and whatever else is needed. That said... this game, and some of the Halls of Fame, are over 7 years old now and the submissions have been mostly coming from only a few steadfast enthusiasts since the fall of BSN Prime. Perhaps we can just... close shop. We could still play the challenges and share videos and war stories here, even if the HoFs get locked at some point. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

Nicely done Smehur ! I m still intending to do some new runs with those challenges, now that i m close having done all solo challenges (am I not ?), so i d like it to be alive. I am also ok to take the job, especially with the work you did with the TCHOF stats and the data repository. I would also have a proposal to have a closed version of the HoF and another one with writing permission for people to self register their run. I think that would make the updating thing quite light ? Just quick checking the submission validity. (maybe we could even share turns for that type of check) but maybe i dont really see where the work is ! Thx again for the commitment !

now that i m close having done all solo challenges (am I not ?) Well not really Meanwhile, i started one of the worst Outlier Solo SeriesChallenge Rules Full extraction is required. Missiles allowed only on objective waves and extraction Not Permitted: Armored Compartments Cyclonics Geth Scanner (gasp!) Objective-modded games Certain “Clever uses of game mechanics” (Pizza running, hack glitching, incendiary/warp ammo glitches) s1 – Deception of Menae - Full Extraction on Firebase Condor vs Collectors - Earn 20 headshot medal before wave 5 Character: Turian Soldier Weapon: N7-Eagle Heavy Pistol 37:18 - Alfonsedode (205630 pts)Lol condor s2 – Blue Rose of Illium - Full Extraction on Firebase Goddess vs Reapers - Earn 5 waves survived Character: Krogan Shaman Adept Weapon: Lancer Assault Rifle 40:13 - Alfonsedode (272725 pts)No range on godess s3 – Geth Hopper - Full Extraction on Firebase Jade vs Cerberus - Earn 50 melee kills - Time Trial: Must complete in less < 37 minutes Character: Geth Infiltrator Weapon: Geth Plasma Shotgun
LOOOOOOOOOL well i thought i had done it last time, but the day after i remembered i hacked the hacks ... Anyway, i did it in 38 min too s4 – Bleed Out - Full Extraction on Firebase Ghost Hazard vs Geth - Earn 20 Headshots before wave 5 - Earn 10 melee kills Character: Vorcha Hunter Weapon: Kishock Harpoon gun 34:02 - Alfonsedode (285329 pts)Cool stuff, but geth gold with no GS is obnoxious s5 – Plague - Full Extraction on Firebase Reacter/Reacter Hazard vs Collector - Earn 50 Biotic Kills - Earn 20 Headshots Character: Asari Valkyrie Weapon: Locust 35:33 - Alfonsedode (250799 pts)That should be easy, but smg is not that cool for close range boom boom
