if we ever play another of their games, we shall not pay for it.

I hope this is exactly what everyone who feels hurt/angry/disappointed will do. You might annoy them with an orchestrated shitpost effort, but nothing can hurt them back as effectively as a drop in sales that can be explained by nothing other than shutting down the forum. Normally I don't give into such hateful thinking but the dark side got me this time they deserve it.

I offically declare the new (and last ) challenge series as live.

Awesome stuff, AW. But it won't be the last series live. Just the last one on this particular forum. Now that I know plans are in motion to simply move to Pres' new site, I no longer see that as the end of the world this thread, and neither should anyone else.

Imma cry.

I win! Go team!

Went a lot better than any of us expected.

Seeing all those duos in one post makes one appreciate the investment of time and effort all the more. Well done, guys.

Are you gonna do the other series too?

slower, slowest, slow, even slower

Shouldn't it be slow, slower, even slower then slowest?

Wow!Perhaps Clusum stayed only in cover?

Close! He spent the whole of wave 1 grabbing abominations from cover. Just in case, you know, that he wouldn't get the headshots or something.

We had devices on waves 3 and 10 and pizza on wave 6, which was a bit scary because Shepard was incapacitated and his missiles were he was sorely missed.

Also, yeah, so much for TNS being rusty. 

SeasonedTurtle moved their character build site to a new domain, so that it wouldn't be lost forever.

Phew, that's a relief. Thank you, Turtle! And you, Dragon!

For Peak 15: Week 7 of the Weekly Themed Challenges.

Weekly Themed Challenges -- Week 7 -- Peak 15 (Epic)

43:52 - Smehur (348537 pts) [v]

I skipped Mordus. Venom everywhere, needed a break from it.

A note for Pres on the same subject: ex-Clusum's entry for Depression in Gordian Hour HoF is missing its 10 WS mark.

impossible

17:25 - N7-Gerbil (290 511pts) [v]

Impossible for us mortals, tho - sure.

What time would have reached  one of our best speed runner here, maybe 2 min faster or even 4 ? 

More like 5, judging from the HoF. My own fastest so far is 22 something too, got there from 28 on first try in a dozen attempts but somehow I suspect it would take me like ten times as many to go sub20. Maybe some day. In any case, well done!

It's a lesson I have learned (and so should you) by duoing with clusum.

You don't say. Few people here logged more hours ruining playing duos with him than me. That said - yes, I should absolutely duo with him more. Now if only he'd feel the same! 

Also it's ok. I don't take it to heart (anymore). I just admire others and liberally laugh at myself.

Added the video to the original post. :)Not my best performance

Perhaps. But I learned that maybe I'll hit more things if I actually aim down the sights, which I never do with Venom, and you do all the time. Also most of your shots are uncharged, and I charge most of mine because I fool myself that I have better chances of hitting things like that. So I'll try to change these patterns next time and see if it'll help.

Bombers are the worst for me, though, I can't land a direct hit on them even when they're up my face, while you consistently get them with your first shot. I felt just as envious watching Turian's Gordian Hour with Valkyrie/venom and all the dragoons she simply shot dead, whereas I had to carpet-bomb the whole room just to keep them off me. It's not fair, the way creators distributed hand-eye coordination so unevenly.

I'm not going to be able to play.... AT ALL..... for a while...... T_T

Truly worth of tears. I feel for you. But don't give in. Hold the Line!

II. Hold the Line Platinum redo

I could do with a lesson in Venoming. Yes, please?

Series 2 

 

Set 8 - Live Long And Prosper | Mission 1 - Bosh'tet (♫)

 

29:56 - ToastTheKnowing | LightRobot

 

Escort - Devices - Devices

 

Not even sure if the game meets all the requirements, but I think so. A fun match as always, even though my teammate is a scrub that should be called ToastTheAllKnowing (in a sarcastic way) or ToastTheBragging. Gonna miss these challenges.

So refreshing to see a voiced duo. Nice work. What do you mean, you're gonna miss the challenges?

Haven't read all responses so maybe I'll be repeating what others already said, but yeah, a-bombs randomly behave like armored units in more ways than one. They will often not be pulled when unshielded; I don't think they can be lashed either. Cryo blast might or might not freeze them, and I could almost swear that overload with neural shock doesn't reliably incapacitate them. Don't know what's up with it, but I've come to expect it; what you have in that vid wasn't a surprise.

did you try it before scorpion made it a joke

 

also lol at morning war being hard

 

frankly pull ups too, but that ****'s at least tediuos

I believe he was just trying to be considerate to those of us who still find any and all platinum solos hard. You should try it too.

Jokes aside, I remember thinking the same, that Morning War can't be hard with all those arc grenades. Then I tried it a few times and yeah, it sure can.

What challenges, if any, do you think are hard?

The above-mentioned challenges may result in sweating, headache, palpitations, nausea, seizure, carpal-tunnel syndrome, backache, sleep disorders, loss of appetite, anxiety, emotional lability, excessive and unwarranted rage, uncontrollable rage-quitting including and not limited to rage-quitting in real life scenarios.

[x] uncontrollable rage-quitting

Hmmm... do I get a special title when I fill in all of the above?

What's that Goddess/Geths challenge ? Seems well, challenging.

Doesn't seem so on paper: salarian engineer with both venom and scorpion, almost everything geth can throw at you on platinum likes to play with the decoy, every wave has robots to energy-drain, and incinerate helps with big armor. But somehow it ain't easy at all. Goddess has these sneaky spawns and bad angles and is hard to missile. I tried a dozen times already, got as far as wave 9 a couple times but ran out of consumables. Been on a rage-quit-streak since.

I switched to Scorpion as a primary for my Platinum run of Hold the Line. And took it on the first attempt.

It crossed my mind too. I'll give it a try next time.

Yeah, I know I'm being very heretical. But one day when I get this challenge done and upload the vid, yall will have the chance to see just how bad I suck with it, and that I have every reason to hate it. I can't hit a damn thing with it! I try to shoot at their feet, at their face, short range, long range, nothing works. No matter what I try, only about 1/3 of my shots does anything. At least that's what it feels like, hurr durr. When I watch vids of other people using it, it's every bit as godly as advertised. But when I have to use it...
