I'm up for the Eagle challenge. Probably a little too late for me to join the ones that end tomorrow, but hopefully I can stop playing Dark Souls long enough to get some action in for the Eagle challenge.

The team (as in Tatty, Boom, Heroic and Navi) are usually on between 5pm and 10pm GMT (our American Brethren and I believe Navi stay on a little later)

It's about 8-10pm for me when you and Navi get on. I dunno if we would be good to go tomorrow, since the first two challenges are up, but I should be good for Monday -> Thursday.

The end of match summary screen only notes class, not race. There is no way to prove that people who don't record aren't cheating and using Arc Nade Spam. It's the same issue as Warp/Incendiary and no rocketting (mind you there is an actually noticeable difference in times when using rockets (about 2-5 minutes depending on map, enemy, team set up and whether you are comparing it to an Armour Compartments Run.

how about no nade classes I trust ppl not to use em most kill should be coming from a sniper kill. Me boom and two other ppl I don't get to play with much did this on plat 22 min could have been a lot faster but just playing casual. Not tedious a lot of fun.

Well, seeing as how I have been blessed with some sort of crazy flu/cold/whatever, I'm guessing I'll be free all weekend to get some runs in since I feel waaaaay too ****ty to go out for any of the NFL games this weekend. If I'm playing something else, just drop me an invite and I'll hop on over.

Also any chance you could PM our team's best time Navi?

Word through the grapevine is your team has broken the 20 min mark on both runs

For **** sake, Microsoft has signed me out of my profile and is asking me to sign in using my password and email address (from about two years ago), even though I don't think anyone has EVER remembered their X-Box LIVE password so I am locked out of my account, when I try to recover the password it comes up with a lovely security question "What's your favourite fictional character?" HOW THE **** AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER WHAT BULL**** ANSWER I TYPED IN TWO YEARS AGO TO SUCH A RETARDED QUESTION!?

Hopefully this is just a minor dabble in stupidity on Microsoft's behalf because if not I look at losing about a hundred quid's (around 133 US Dollars) worth of DLC and games (Minecraft, Walking Dead, Mass Effect 1 to name the most important ones) aswell as any and all online progress on any game including Mass Effect 3.

The best part? I had a nice tip from Microsoft advising me to sign in to X-Box LIVE and check manually what my Email was just in case I was entering the one wrong in order to sign in to X-Box LIVE... (Bloody amazing idea there right?) and you need to sign in to Microsoft's website (something I had no knowledge of signing up on because I was lacking LIVE and had just switched email addresses before I had been given the email about the whole LIVE, Windows and other random crap I didn't actually use being rolled into one nice convenient, google account [which according to Google Mail is lacking in existence because I never verified and can't even remember my previous email address (from two years ago) to go back and verify] in order to contact Microsoft Tech Support about the issue of you not being able to sign into X-Box Live or Microsoft's Website. ****ing brilliant.

Sounds like fun.  Is the deadline midnight Pacific on each of those dates?

[SilentBacon]

A sniper challenge! Nice, should be fun.

[NAVIHEYLISTEN]

any chance we can get no grenade kits used for the weapon challenges. anyone else agree it will be the same as any other run nade spam without rockets.

I am not good with that honestly. No grenades is fine, but I would personally want to reset the powers on my QMI and snipe with him.

that could work the main objective of the weapon challenges is to keep them just that not nade spam rocket everything.obviously it should suite everyone's views though I just think its a good point. I think no nade infs would work for the sniper run because like geek said ppl might just use heavy power classes like fury pally etc.

I am good with the rest, just didn't want to be super limited on characters just because most have grenades as a power.

[SilentBacon]

How about no grenade capacity allowed for weapon ones?

[SlimJim0725]

Anyone from my team lurking around? Gollum, Silentblade, and I need a 4th asap.

[SilentBacon]

Haha, damn our different playing times. Least we got a solid trio time.

Oh yeah, I am loving that trio time! We got a fairly solid team time too, but that will be beat tonight!

[Crusader4Reason]

If we're going to actually do four team sniper runs and eagle runs, I think we should make them as pure to being base weapon challenges as possible.

As far as I know, the sniper run is something the group has never competed on in such a wlde scale, and it would be interesting to see how we fare on such a game. 

I think we should add the stipulation Silent Blade suggested about no grenade gear being allowed but do that for the Sniper runs and maybe the Eagle runs, too.  These are meant to be weapon challenges, aren't they?  (And aren't Eagles supposed to be held by Batarians of some kind in this group, not that I've ever cared for that idea?)

I don't feel too strongly about the following, but I'd support not allowing any grenade use period in either event, or possibly something even more restrictive for characters allowed on a sniper run, though that may be too restrictive, and I'm sure that certain restriction would make the runs insufferable to people who already didn't like them in the first place, so I think we need to find a compromise on the stipulations for the run(s).  I'm sure we all have particular challenges that we hate, but I think it's something really different to try and will surprise some people with how much fun these different types of runs are.  And these types of runs are fun to some of the major participants in this tournament, just like some hated the duos, and others loved them.  I'm glad we're having so many events so we can ensure that just about, (I'd hope all!!) of us are having some fun with at least one of the challenges per week. 

(I would even have liked to have all-melee only game with heavy restrictions on power use, no missiles, and no grenades, but I doubt enough people would want to do one, and would find one incredibly tedious given how hard it is to kill bosses with, so I won't push for something like that.  If ideas like that an anathema to a great majority of the players, then those of us who are interested in such a thing should just arrange privately to have a competition and drop it.  I assume this is not the case with the Sniper run since it has been approved as an event.  I'd be interested in Slim's medal challenge idea, too, but if that's shot down, I'd suggest the same for melee.  I'm most interested in having a tournament that challenges us in as many different fun ways as possible, rather than making everything a generic speedrun.  I salute the captains for the events thus far even though there a couple I haven't been that found of--it at least challenged me in a unique way.)


tl;dr:  I think Navi is right about grenade use, and I'd extend to possibly the Eagle run, too--it makes sense that if we're having specific weapon challenges, that it be about the weapons and not something else like a Biotic Death Squad (isn't that the Goddess run already?) or Grenadiers happening to hold these weapons.  Sure, it'd be slower games to add restrictions, but I doubt an all Sniper run wouldn't be that much slower than a typical Unknown Gold game without much strategy.  I don't know where I'd suggest drawing the line though, but I'm sure there's a reasonable point we can agree on to add some stipulations while not strangling character use.

If we want to nuke spawns with grenades, then we should have a Grenadier challenge, not pollute the sniper challenge (and possibly the Eagle challenge as well) into something they aren't supposed to be.  At least outlaw grenade gear for the Sniper and possibly Eagle challenge (I don't know what the group's standard Eagle run is, I'm more willing to be flexible on that one since it's evidently a Team AreleX tradition, and I don't know how you guys ran that.  It should probably be run in a nostalgic way, in my opinion).

That's my two cents on the weapon challenges.

[SlimJim0725]

@Crusader: I would personally prefer no grenades in either of those events as well. It cheapens my Eagle kills that I will be stealing from Gollum and the sniper challenge features plenty of the strongest weapons in the game, so I really don't think we need grenades.

[NAVIHEYLISTEN]

Didn't know that was you crusader well said I don't think we should use the thermal clip pack capacity either if we have to use grenades.
