. I got downed after 0:00 right as the enemies were all killed yeah i remember about that, though i kinda remember you have a bit of time right after the 0 to get in the EZ to get full extraction. But i thought dying would be a bit longer than that. I already died after the 00 and got the extraction... Ok. Hope i ll avoid that dispapointment ANywxay, if you die after 03 sec, i m pretty sure it s too late to gel
BTW : I used the 2 mag upgrade and AP rounds my self last we when i redid it. ATM i m banging my head against the wall cause i cant sub 23 with annhilation.

a placeholder for a few quotes for now, need to get monday on the way, just wanted to comment on the bolded, think you still can recover as long as you can fit a full heavy melee animation in. i think edit: No extraction? That s a worst eva ! I guess that gives u comfort (Next time around 00, please stay in cover!),Thanks bud, appreciate the advice! you see i scratched my head silly wondering what the helll went wrong there, and here it is. Joking aside, that's exactly what i needed to do really. Steve would have taken care of the other flanking phantom shortly. and it'd all be done. can't see much in the original version, cut it bad for a quicky upload's sake. here's the longeer version for posterity's sake and one's own vanity. skip to 03:55 to witness the how-the-fuck-has-he-managed-not-to-extract extraction wave Of course it was a Phantom too well technically it was one of rthem goons, at least according to the killfeed but she sure played the role pewpewing me into the healthgate hear hear oi, like i said, i'm still working on it mkay? don't write me off just yet He died too early for it to be worst ever. well, it litterally hits 0 in the same frame (ok, 10-20 frames later), doesnt it ? Thats why i thought it could even count MPApr2012 ; btw, you know, it s december 9 out there ...no brain al striked again
all good, haven't noticed any wrong *crosses out not funny and overused timezones/living in the past jokes about to be posted* Brutal. 5WS + 5 Gold medals... So much fucking around for grabs early on, being patient wears me out, and then the late wave collapse begins. Muy difícil. you'll be right. oh and i think i got grabs sussed now too reasonably safe to get them without wasting any ops packs. fucking wave 2 on the other hand, i keep dying there a lot. that and exfils apparently yeah, u guys should solo plat maybe with the setup, then it ll feel like silver

And i looked at it again, and 0 is hit at least .2 .4 sec before you get down, lying mother*** timer Anyway the mistake is mostly that ops u kick in after a shield gate at 3 sec or something like that. U did well to keep it up to there and felt safe i guess. Well after 45 min and half of them in survive mode, cant be very lucid anyway , i cant. I guess you found your way with cryo rounds, but its really less damage isnt it ? i havent tried it in years, but i guess the slowing effect is really cool

U did well to keep it up to there and felt safe i guess. Well after 45 min and half of them in survive mode, cant be very lucid anyway , i cant. yup, you nailed it with the ops pack. admittedly one of my common bad habits/mistakes instead of going down and gelling... wasting an ops pack only to make matters worse. like here with like 4 bloody gels left. ah well. It is less damage, no argument there, i do quite enjoy though its overall utility and that pseudo crowd control it comes with... You get them frozen mooks (not firing at you, are they, well most of the time, a sincere fuck you specifically message goes to geth hunters) nicely primed for your chain cryo/combo explosions, then slowed down and exposed (!) brutes and dragoons. that's quite important to me, since most of the time i'm not that confident to stay the ground like you pros do and need that extra fraction of time to slow the advance. also being a scrub i am, i can never remember which ammo types steal headhsots/weapon kills and the whole penetration stacking/overriding so when tasked with the medal requirements i opt for the safe choices like cryo or drill. i had a few goes here with AP rounds, and for sure things die faster, but struggled with the medals and felt being pushed out quite a bit more too I failed a bunch last night. All wave 4 deaths. ... Had 5 grabs though :/ Bummer. are you working on Ash or 7.1? edit: oh and the last nights attempt, - w10 devices after running out of missiles cleaning out happy camping stabgurls parties bled out on the last one. while Steve is quite happy entertaining/occupying them merry cartwheelres, he is no match for them cogbuckets' lolmissiles

Devices on Glacier is the worst objective.My successful run for plat version of Anihilation was with two time devices if i remember correctly,but vs ripaz is much easier.Versus cerb is very hard.Damn phantrolls could ruin everything.

Got wave 10 targets, failed to change the target, got gang-banged by Phantoms on the last Atlast. 31 minutes, all medals done by wave 8

Since MPApr2012 and Qui-Gon GlenN7 haven't posted any Ash or Clone War extractions or fails lately I'll post another post-objective wave 10 fail. Objectives were devices, escort, targets. Again, gang banged by Phantoms. My time was damn good too. Shame I used two gels on wave 1 as this was my first game after a week off. Looking at that score it seems freakishly low for a solo, though I did have at least 5 enemies left when I died.

Got wave 10 targets, failed to change the target, got gang-banged by Phantoms on the last Atlast. 31 minutes, all medals done by wave 8 That sucks. Considerably closer to finishing than I've been. I extracted once on a 3ws solo very early on, and haven't been past wave 5 since. MPApr2012, still waiting on your triviality explanation. Steve does absolutely annoy the shit out of Phantoms, and just about every Cerberus enemy except Atlas. That's a far throw from trivializing tho... If you know how to actually make them trivial as I understand the word, get to splaining mang!

That sucks. Considerably closer to finishing than I've been. I extracted once on a 3ws solo very early on, and haven't been past wave 5 since. I have about 4 or 5 wave 10 fails Very frustrating. I just get too aggressive/stupid after 5WS that I burn through gels between waves 6 & 8 and I end up needing them dearly by wave 10. Steve does absolutely annoy the shit out of Phantoms, and just about every Cerberus enemy except Atlas. That's a far throw from trivializing tho... If you know how to actually make them trivial as I understand the word, get to splaining mang! It does work well, you just gotta get the timing right with it and you need to get another one out as soon as it dies. It distracts the Phantoms and stuns the Goons making them easy picking. I've straight up murdered wave 4 with Steve out and about stunning Goons and trolling Phantoms, toss an Incinerate into the group and when he splodes you get a nice Fire Explosion. That said, it's only worked out like that a few times. It really helps if you get devices because that mother fucker stuns everything that gets close and has saved me several times that way.

Sorry bud, stuck in Tamriel. can't seem to get out believe it or not, they haven't even activated their relay, smh. On the topic though, DistigousForest covered the pertinent points, i'll elaborate a bit just need spend some time with our map. Heldarion 's one doesn't have cords grid unfortunately. ima burning through the last week of my holiday leave. my me3mp, and the N7, certainly feels kinda neglected. time to address this indeed.
edit: wow BSN is lagging
edit: right. some scrubby ways to cheese through them waves 4 and wave 7. both are notorious for goons/phantoms bumrushes. and we need to survive w4 at least to get our 5ws medal. time for Steve to shine. i'll record a video, but my upload capabilities are somewhat constrained at the mo so may take a while. anyways, let's use Heldarion 's map for reference in the meantime
so you park by the star-12 location as per usual, cast Steve in front of those crates upstairs westward towards 15 the ones upstairs on our side of the wall next that yellow squiggle. the normal spawn/flow will be coming down those stairs, do watch out for your right flank but I found it unlikely pathway at least until you get to centurions/troopers. anyways, them goons/phantims come bumrushing, and you focus on goons, phantums for later. Steve staggers goons. if he doesn't you first overload the goons, yep that's right, to stagger them yourself and keep them either next to crates or on stairs. then you inci/overload/shoot them. in the meantime Steve keeps phantums suppressed or cartwheeling and occasionally ass-staggers the goons to help further or goes banzai. the important point is to keep Steve active all the time next to those crates for the better crowd control and you need to help him with an occasional override. rinse, repeat. once waves goons budget gone, them pahntums next, Steve again at the same place. keep in mind, on recast Phantums tend to ignore Steve until their first potshot/stab at you but they will turn back so plan accordingly. that's it in a nutshell. the biggest waves nuisance becomes rogue centurians, endwave engineers rush watch out for them exploding, and w7's Atli.
edit: and because I ass-edited my post instead of a new one, let's play tag because we can Qui-Gon GlenN7

In my Exile I will study these things. The map diagram was a pleasant surprise and I need to examine it on a larger screen later. The theory and method is not foreign to me, but I think the location is something different perhaps. I had been mostly living in the lower lab next to the basement, abusing the stairs. Works really well on many waves, falls apart in instances though. Part of that is unlucky spawns, part of it is poor TTK because I scrub out sometimes.
Thank you kind soldier!
