- Kaxas will be broadcasting Gordian Rage later today on twitch - stay tuned for that! I think you officially have to start with stage 2 now btw.
Request denied. I need some gentle Reaper action before getting *really* mad at Collectors.
I'll start at around 10 PM UTC+2, which should be 4 PM on the East Coast if I'm not mistaken. In 6 hours, that is.
I'll probably do a Gordian Rage stream tonight, if anyone wants to hear me suffer. Stay tuned. By the way, I just realised that the stages for the hardcore challenges coincide with the stages of fighting Trollectors.
I have a proposition:
You do all the cerberus challenges, and I'll do the collector ones. Together, we can survive the gordian hour.
We'll convince Pres with some cookies.

Deal!
Maybe we could enter our submission as... SalarianSlasher? Or TheNightJesus?
The Rage Stream starts in about 5 minutes at https://www.twitch.tv/kaxas92 - and here is a topic to discuss it. Have fun!
Edit: I'll probably try to finish the other challenges too at one point, but that was enough for now.
Stage 5 - Acceptance
19:51 - TheTechnoTurian (279 240 pts) 10 WS
had a surgery on Tuesday that went totally awry and haven't wanted to do anything but hang out in bed with my laptop since. but through the power of painkillers decided I would try sitting at the computer long enough to relieve my developing fat turian withdrawal symptoms. It didn't go very well but at least I am no longer suffering the effects of fat turian withdrawal syndrome, which apparently includes headaches, dizziness, and psychosis
will tackle the rest later, possibly redo this one while not under the influence of pharmaceuticals
We have been busy lately 
N7 Triune Trials
N1.II C.D.E.M.
21:30 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
A new name throws his hat in the ring Welcome SenorTomate Triple escort on this one. We had someone decide to drop into the game with less than 10 seconds to go on extraction, the player didn't even have time to move his character, and didn't fire a shot or a power, as evidenced by the nice round score 
Prestacious graciously allowed the run to count
N1.III Cyone Must Not Fall
20:56 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
A challenge against collectors with no WS requirements? Time to create some friendly fire accidents 
this could have been faster, but hardly more fun 
N1.IV For Thessia!
22:46 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
Three Justicars is just insanely fun, the amount of biotic explosions you can chain makes you wish banshees had even more hps the only downside is that it is easy to get hugged among all the fun 
N1.V The Shepard Clone War, Part 1 - First Blink After Coma
21:39 SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
Smooth as a trio, but likely very tough as a solo! I can't decide if AR or krogan's rage are more blinding in the blizzard... though AR is more evil because it gives you a second of vision before everything turns white
We also completed NI.1, but it was a brutal disconnect-fest, where both off-host players got dropped multiple times from the match, resulting in much frustration and a very strange results screen. We decided not to bother uploading it, and might redo it at a later time.
Stage 4 - Depression
17:25 - N7-Gerbil (290 511pts) [v]
Redid for 10WS but then I died in w10. At least in this run, I got way better objectives.
- Well, I just had to make a weekend update, cause Lodestar. Congrats Tupari on the wicked quick time for Stage 4. That officially clinches the Lodestar position for you! Awesome stuff! HoF has been updated.
- Also, great runs emexia, Hamletic and Senor Tomate! Welcome Senor!
Stage 3 - Bargaining
21:02 - N7-Gerbil (317 985 pts) 10 WS
Redid for 10WS. Can't tolerate this game any longer so will redo the others later.
Get ready for the worst Gordion Hours runs so far
Stage 1 (Platinum)
27:00 - AW_FC_1986 (381 939 pts)
Hack -> Targets -> Hack
First sub 30 plat solo. Lots of ragequits due to Wave 3 or 6 Devices/ Targets. I finished this one, because I was getting tired of redoing it. Wave 6 targets costed 2 missles, which could have been used more effectively. Still far away from the top.
Stage 2 (Gold)
20:05 - AW_FC_1986 (261 418 pts)
Retrieve -> Retrieve -> Hack
Over 2:30 mins slower that the rest. Sub 20 doesn´t like to fall. :/
Stage 3 (Gold) 10WS
25:09 - AW_FC_1986 (337 852 pts)
Just for the 10WS. I accidently deleted the "quicker" run, but wasn´t really much faster than this one, because still at least 1:30 slower than the rest.
Stage 2 (Gold)
20:10 - AW_FC_1986 (292 595 pts)
Targets -> Retrieve -> Retrieve
Sub 20 won´t die.
Stage 5 (Gold)
20:19 - AW_FC_1986 (264 994pts)
Escort -> Hack -> Escort
You know the story.^^
Result: I can´t speedrun. Any attempt of speedrun ends in certain death or will get punished by RNG with bad objectives. 3 runs around 20:xx minutes. Forget it!
Sidenote: Ragepromotion was inevitable.
One of the secret to be happy is to not compare oneself to the others. Just sayin'.
This. Especially in a game where the RNG has more impact on the outcome than the player.
On topic: we only had time for one duo this weekend.
Omega on Fire (Hardcore)
IV. Omega is my home, this is my pilgrimage

or compare uself to console peasant or scrubs like me
Stage 2 - Anger
I did this one first only to get the collector garbage out of the way.
Stage 4 - Depression
I had the idea of making a bet with N7-Gerbil and TheTechnoTurian -- slowest total time in this series once we have all completed it has to buy the other two lunch next time we meet IRL.
ha ha ha... i'm an idiot 
Insanity Stage 3 - Burn the Darkness
HoF updated!
- Very nice runs continue to come in for "Survive the Gordian Hour"!
- I agree completely with XAN and Loufi, and while this series has one achievement that makes it a little more competitive than others in that regard, it's sort of the exception since it's specifically to celebrate 100 sub-20 runs. So there almost had to be a competitive "Lodestar" achievement. There's no way my retired, console peasant self would even crack 200 minutes on these I think more importantly, it's about seeing how far soloists can push their own times, if that's something they so choose. When I re-re-unretire in a few weeks, I'll just be going for a brave Gordian Death. But I commend those who push the limits of challenges! It's exciting and I imagine also quite rewarding after the grind! Anyway, TLDR; Awesome times AW_FC.
N7 Triune Trials - hardcore
N1.VI Merely The Weapon
22:40 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
Or merely the cluster grenades We didn't exploit the reactor at all, but there was no need: enemies died so fast with three drell adepts, that the respawns basically supplanted abomination accidents / reactor cooking.
N2.I Resolve of The Shadowbroker
22:02 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
Surprise! Liara brought some friends this time 
I personally enjoyed this one very much, because this was the N7 challenge that caused me the biggest burnout (yet ). Something tells me we are going to enjoy N2.III as well
Weekly Solos 2.0

N5 - Omega Forces
II. Kill Them! - 44:47 Emexxia (293 010pts)
Now only Ariake remains . Though I'm not sure I have the patience to complete it just yet.

Stage 2 - Anger - 35:30 ernesto_bih (238 911pts)
Did this one to see if I have a chance of getting it done under 30 minutes, it turns out no (although not cheesable hack in central room on W6 and devices on W10 did not help at all). A Noble Gordian Death it is then, I would rather die standing than live on my knees.
