Objective: finish the N7 challenges!

Interestingly, so far 4th tier has been very easy for me, and the Fury solo on Glacier only has two potential hiccups - 4th Gold Medal will be tricky for me too, as it is very unlikely I will 10WS any solo, thus I will need KS and Grabs. The other trick with Glacier - good objectives.

It is not Goddess though

And it is the map I have soloed most. Ought to be fun.

Nice job on 10WS! Living on the edge is better than dying on it

I can actually see surviving 10 waves with a Volus. Those weapons though.... I like the Scimitar in a sentimental sort of way, but I cannot even mention the other gun's name without feeling a chill up my spine.

I have become quite frustrated with 5.2



I play the Hunter alot, and that is part of my problem. Crutch Falcon player.

So, without any stagger, and the least reliable pistol in the game... I am failing mightily, in a not-good sort of way.

I have watched several of your successful videos. @thetechnoturian was quite incredible really, just awesome. That's a high bar, so I watched the videos available in my "time range" and still... Aaargh.

I had to pug Drell Adept to get it out of my system. Even with bad lag (5HS wtflolhuh???) the mighty DA would not be denied his rightful place on top the scoreboard, with all 6 rockets in his trenchcoat unused - Hydra has had enough devastation lately.

Still, I am a little lost.

Here is the build I used. Basically tried to hold the same corner TTT did in her vid, but not nearly as easily lol.  I tried to trap Phantoms whenever possible with Sub-net and use it for headshots as well and with Disruptor rounds there were lots and lots of Tech Bursts.

Why wouldn't it be? It's one bullet with high damage so armor damage penalty doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things, plus you get less shield gate penalty with DA.

*bump* back onto the frontpage with ya pretty plox. We are not done yet

My first serious attempt (and fail) at Teriyaki...



With the ESO double events' slog* finally out of the way i'm back to the still unfished business i have around here. Feeling a tad slow and rusty for any serious N7.1 attempts thought i'd give it was time to try N7.3 instead. in the end it's unavoidable so might as well get on with it and leave some fun for later. plus being a weekend meant i would not be feeling as drained and exhausted as i do after days in the office.

So went for a bit of a warm up, to get used to the volliballs silly fov/perspective again. Hm... In the hindsight, i probably really should have done that back when i was grinding voli waves challenges. but again back then i was nowhere near to pull gold solos consistenly. Ah well

All in all wasn't too bad, and made feel it is not totally undoable in the end. So once again, perseverance and good objectives lottery will be the key. Also kinda confirmed a couple things i expected i'd be struggling with. Like ravagers crossfire for once. Well, that exactly what got me there, took two to the face from one Ravager instead of shieldboosting instictively rolled back to be greeted by the other one who sneaked around in the meantime. Then, there's double banshees of course. Well, i'm not good or patient enough to deal with them so that means the cleanup of 5,8, and 9 all get a rocket. and if i'm to use any emergency ones like i had to during this run on 5 kinda means i'm quite assuredly screwed with/if the targets on wave 10. Then there was Biotic Orbs, pleased with how much utility they offer for this run combined with the Incendies, even overtaking stasis in frequncy used, and also frustrated with how they impaired my vision. think it may be my eyesight getting wonkier, but the blue flashing lights combined with the blue overtones of the map, combined with a skillfully misplaced stasis meant there were moments i was blinder then raging/fortified krogan in the White's whiteout.

So who else is we have in the (semi)active running then? is it just DF, QGG, and me? DistigousForest , i skimmed through your posts, but sort of lost track have you done 7.2 yet? Qui-Gon GlenN7 , curious what set up are going with for Ash?

know exactly how it feels
you be fine, sure of it. you got no banshees to chase you out from behind that column... the biggest nusiance of them all is them bombers and prime drones. just don't fall asleep heheh, but you can keep yourself entertained popping pyro tanks at least
Too slow... Too slow, eh uhmm... isn't it kinda whole point? _{bah, i chose to read it as a pun intended.} well played mate, well played! on a serious note, i'm also going for cryo there mainly for two reasons, - no kill stealing for SMG kills and tech explosions to help with tech kills medal. oh and i tried to hipster it out with no GS but with extra ops whatever gear is called, that was a mistake. made grabs much harder to get for, lsoing extra ops packs while chasing them. *shrug*
still going for style i see. i gave up and went geth scanner's dirty path. my awareness is crap, plus i needed wallhaxing
emergency relocations bud, you can't tank on those shields. if you're down that path means incoming dps is high don't just boost boost and gtfo strategically
yeah bud, every time i watch those it's like yeah well, i have no idea how to even attempt to get on that level

i personally have more trouble on 7.2 than on ash, but maybe it was luck related, i had only one redo for ash and it was really smooth. On 7.2, i have trouble with the soft cover bugs at the corner of win and rocket trooper primed on spawn (on obj waves) for special 2-6 rockets combos

It's the smoke grenades. Unless I was having a bug the other day, I couldn't see shit in the smoke with just GS, and it was getting me killed due to not killing.

Hmmmm...

I will try again shortly.





Shouldn't take long

Yes...

Did I use Sniper Amp? Did I use Stronghold?

I am going to watch my failures... Haven't recorded too many of them, as I need to get more success early or I'm wasting my time, but maybe the evidence is there.

Otherwise, I will give Ash another go or two, then work on 7.1 for a minute again.

7.1 - I just need to be patient. Wave 5 keeps being a pita, and it is just impatience. I cannot stand going slow, which is a problem for these higher level solos.

Some of you have it down pat, and can be patient and win. I cannot be patient and win; that is why I failed Platinum solos for so long and still haven't finished one with a non-cheese kit (3 factions took a Reegar sandwich, the other got Geth Flamered to death).

I have a bunch of 30 minute wave 9 and 10 Platinum fails tho

Basically, I am too good (in my mind lol) to be patient, and not good enough to kill as fast as my impatience demands. Thus, I am a scrub who cannot learn his limits.

This reflects me in real life
