Objective: finish the N7 challenges!

and u didnt even submit it.
So ariake ? hum, fun and chilling one, with a cool sounding gun

Yeah, yeah... No need to bolden it out   Already saw your sneaky ftfy last night. i was so appalled, taken aback even that i... immediately fell asleep. also i couldn't find a gif conveying mah feelings in a right fahsion

It is indeed teriyaki time. doubt any serious effort will go into that one before a weekend rolls on. simply too tired weekday night to maintain focus for potentially up to two hours for the very small chance of success

oh and i leave submissions until i complete a full tier, so it's gonna be awhile still before those two will go up. here's hoping it aint gonna take me 6 years 

i know the feeling!

But i'm more interested in the SMG kills here, or more specifically the lack of. remember i mentioned i had the same happen to me in the earlier attempts. and my suspsicion of ap ammo responsible for them killsteals, one of the reasons i opted out of them for the N7.1 altogether, in favour of elementals... Here is what i settled on... Yeah i know  can't you just lemme point out the obvious to bitch and moan about it? 

D'oh... how about this? Agree, disruptor does work quite well for the hengies. Except we're stuck with hurrdur for this challenge. And personally i find that combo... frustrating. Especiially dealing with armour untis. Which leaves it down to ia or cryos really... Oh and i'm going IA for Ariake btw, ima scrub and need my combos, and i have like 140 IAIII or some such to spend on failed attempts...

hmm.... is it really? need to spend time in the librrary i do. won't be too surprised if it is. in the end not a deal breaker since the main utility comes from the ammo's cc and debuffs. i only took it in the last few days after refocusing the incinerate as a damage dealer/detonator pwoer. empirically, inci kills seem to have happened more however whether the pure damage from the 4A is the culprit or whether the freeze combo is, is another question

nope, it works well.
For SMG kills, i would still go APIV and mag upgrade (but i have already made this case with you guys). I even took double mag upgrade personally.
And you guys failed that challenge copiously and still go for 3 in fitness !!

For ariake, inci rounds and FE are a really cool boost to your long range damage... 30 fps also helps a lot for 10 WS.

i beg your pardon, 


IF YOU AIN'T DYING YOU AIN'T TRYING!! 

Yeah! 

...
Not a "git gud", not a "lol, scrub" but this... 3 points in fitness ain't enough
 


Seriously though that extra 200 HP and shields gonna mean a fuck all really getting caught in a w9 bumrush clusterfuck. or for saving you from a goons/phantums crossfire. won't do much to help hunting those grabs either.

And as for the legit cases where it might help well for those it's only me to blame for being such a scrub. and an incentive to git gud


The N7 Series rules allow for capping of FPS?!

Not that i care or interested in either way, just seems kinda ...bizarre, considering the cozy relationship this game has with the FPS. Or is that more about what consoles experience is like? Isn't it they can't do much about it? And considering the awful controls they have i doubt they have it that much easier anyways...
It may sound off but i don't think the builds necessarily matter that much at this stage. Whilst getting things tweaked, optimised, and polished off is indeed important, there's no silver bullet build that would make N7.1 a complete breeze. Mostly it still gonna be the objectives lottery and consumables drain that'd determine or at least heavily influence the outcome

It takes quite a bit to of effort and time to get to this challenge in the first place, most contenders would have completed 17-18 challenges by this time and can be expected to act with some competency.

So comes a point where one has to decide what would be the better use of one's time here, to consider major build and playstyle adjustmets, quite dramatically potentially, and having to invest more time in getting the hang of it? Think something old horse something, something new tricks or some such here...

Or is it a matter of just pushing through and persevering with what you know... 'cause, 



...remembering, it's just a couple of challenges away from the coveted title. and if so inclined there'd be plenty more opportunities for a rerun
It's more about gaining some range here. Main focus on priming for an orb detonation and whilst ia dot ofc is nice but is kinda secondary. And don't think there's much to gain (if anything?) from the botched damage stacking/fps dependancy.
Excellent, that's exactly what we needed. Thanks bud!

Btw Alfonsedode, MPApr2012 this is where I got the idea that Incinerate 6A was broken/bugged.


There is the issue with console, consumables drain.

That's what's preventing me from more attempts. I'm only doing one or two a week at best. It's annoying that I can't just open up the console and type grantmpcredits 1000000000 (or the post match one I'm forgetting atm) and get a ton of money to use in the store so I need to play more pub games in the hopes AP packs give me at least two CMIV's and/or APIV for my two hours of play. It's not really an issue, more of a PITA than anything, especially if I get some people off my FL to play some plat and we can consistently sub 20 UUP.


I don't change my builds from what I use for pub play; the only one I have is HE for N7.1 as I normally don't spec Steve. I do play less aggressively in solos than I would in pugs. I try to hold corners of win and usually forget to check my flank


Are DoT ticks based off fps or using fps as a time measurement? If so you're getting twice the damage at 60fps than 30fps just on bugged stacking alone, more if you include Biotic Orb debuffs, if not ignore my speculation. Now this is theoretical of course because we're obviously using the Scimitar and not all pellets are going to hit, and we're only talking a few hundred points of damage per target difference. Warp cheese is another story though, it's insane on PC (I haven't tried Incinerate/IA or IG/IA on mustard yet). In the end though player skill will have more of an effect on outcome than any benefits gained.

I m pretty sure the incinerate test is much older and that freeze combo was fixxed between those two tests. It s even maybe in the balance change thread ?

well sure this game has a lot of bugs, but i dont recall them adding some new ones !!
I just searched and found back the blanace change thread, and there s nothing about that fix.

MPApr2012  I see you want a look at my die-ary and unfortunately the news are rather grim: My attempts at completing the pull-up challenge now surpasses the attempts I needed to succeed with my 1st plat solo. However, always running out of gels on wave 9 or 10 keeps me in the grind - one of these days I have to get it right. Ms. Lawson keeps getting humped by a-bombs because of a continuing flood of   devices   on Goddess.

On the bright side, your advice on how to spec the Asari Adept helped so thx much, but just getting through N2 seems far off atm.

True, there is not a lot of activity in this thread but still a lot of new blood in puggerlands. Maybe some of them will stop by our little neck of the woods some day and be up for a challenge...

well if u could cpoy pasta that stuff over here, that would be cool. cause it ll help someone at some point ! even ourselves once or twice
