21:43-The_Doctor46N7(375485pts)
Stage 3 - Burn the Darkness redo
22:53-The_Doctor46N7(407440pts)
Redid these challenges because they are soo fun and since i don't like fury i won't redo the second challenge.While i played these challenge i found that i have lost my motivation.Perhaps i will retire for a while,hope not for ever.So maybe those are my last solos but we will see.

Liked for the runs, not for the retiring! 
Here's hoping you will find your motivation again! Your runs are nothing short of amazing, and have helped me become a better soloist 
so, I hope your break will only be temporary, and I look forward to seeing you in action again 
I think this if my first post in this thread, and with a bit of luck won't be the last
N7 challenges series (gold)
N1 - Recruiting all forces
N1.I - EDI
N1.II - CDEM
N1.III - Cyone must not fall
N2 - Nature versus nurture
N2.I - Resolve of the Shadowbroker
N2.II - Lay down the Lawson
N2.III - 183 Pull-ups
Cyone, Shadowbroker and Pullups were done more or less a month ago, and will probably be redone one of these days.
CDEM I did recently, when I noticed I maxed the Crusader, but will be redone too cause in this run I used AP ammo, and in the next one with Warp ammo, despite terrible objectives (two devices) got a sub30 run which I forgot to screenshot 
. Probably the one I enjoyed the most so far. Wouldn't have thought a Crusader Paladin would be so fun.
EDI is an actual redo, and I'm more or less satisfied with it for now.
Lay down the Lawson was the one that made me stop doing challenges. I effin' hate Goddess. I retried it today, and the first run ended on wave 10 devices 
. That one is the second, which I finally completed despite wave 6 devices. I don't see myself redoing it. 
Btw, I hope I got the formatting right, Prestacious.
Liked for the runs, not for the retiring!
Thanks for the kind words.I hope i will find motivation again.I have passed so many challenges and i did all things that i wanted but recently i don't feel pleasure from soloing.I don't know why but i really hope that i will return soon because this thread is the best in the biz and here i found many friends.
The Gordian Hour, Gold
Stage I - Denial
41:34 - HamleticTortoise (346 970pts) 10WS
This can't be happening!
Overly long, but once I made it to wave 8 without dying I decided to go for 10WS. Wave 10 targets took a long time to finish, and clean up was a tense affair.
Stage 4 - Depression
33:46 - HamleticTortoise (287 774pts)
Siiiigh, robbed of 10WS by a lone death to a Hunter on wave 7
Horrible spawns for me here. Still, I had never put the BW on the GI, and it was interesting to try it.
Now all I have to do is cram 3 solos in 15 minutes 
Seems soloing is becomming painfull for a few of u guys, u might need a break indeed 
(i ll put that in my signature, for the next time i m trying too much)
HoF updated!
- Double rank up Lvca_gr to N2 and welcome to the thread! Nice runs! (and proper formatting much appreciated!)
- Congrats Emexxia on also getting a double rank up to N6! (yay for rng and BPP ) Good luck on the final challenge! Also great work completing the "Survive the Gordian Hour" Series in a total time much quicker than I can do!
- Great job ark_ryv and Juh0M setting several new Tiers records in the hardcore duo category! The bar has been reset!
- Anybody feeling any burnout on the Gordian series should definitely take a duo or team break, as per doctor's orders
- Lastly, I do still have to batch and update the sub-20 HoF. I'll also likely be updating the HoF a little less often over the next couple weeks as RL will be quite busy but I will get to them when I can
Have a good Cerberus-free weekend!
Gordian Hour Insanity
Stage 3 Burn the Darkness
21:40 - TheTechnoTurian (410 700pts)
a faster run with less derp objectives and 10WS (and less nuking walls instead of spawns) ended because my GPU had apparently partially unseated from the slot earlier this week when an M-35 mako disguised as a early 2000s model honda civic hit the side of my house and caused that whole room to vibrate. the GPU went on working for a while and finally just powered down in w11 with 20 seconds to go and caused my whole system to crash.
such is life
BAH
Yes, would've been so much better it was 20:02. I'd take the symmetry of it over the cleanness of 20:00 any day.
That's how I'll comfort myself when I get 83:38 on this same challenge.
^ i m struggling to finish it around 40' , but i m beggining to find my aggressive pattern
Nobody uploaded any video for the plat runs ?!?
Stage 2 Rebirth ( Insanity)
27:54 - AW_FC_1986 (362 550 pts)
Escort -> Retrieve -> Escort
Could have been faster due to not so perfect spawns or enemy locations. Staying alive is quite a challenge with only 3 points on fitness and CM IV. I had some tries, where I felt quite quickly, but lost too many medigels, so I restarted. In the end, I played conservative.
^Look at this guy who "conservatively" sub-30 his plat solos !
Stage 3 - Burn the Darkness (Insanity)
31:17 - AW_FC_1986 (407 252pts)
Hack -> Retrive -> Targets
2 missles left on wave 10? Sure, let´s do targets to get the player really mad. 
Gordian Hour on "hard" mode: Check! Let´s do "easy" mode with sub 100 
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.
To add three more:
Stage I - Denial 39:42 ernesto_bih (279 188pts)
Stage 3 - Bargaining 40:40ernesto_bih (275 170pts)
Stage 4 - Depression 43:38 ernesto_bih (292 060pts)
To quote myself one more time:
I gave up on quick solos. I don't know what it takes for a quick solo and I know I don't have it...
N7 Triune Trials
N1.I Enhanced Defense Intelligence
21:22 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
A redo of a previous, disconnect-plagued match. Many cryo explosions were generated. Cerberus was put down like the three-headed, mad dog it is.
N2.II Laying Down The Lawson
22:22 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
Allow me to quote Emexxia on this one: "Funny, this one seemed harder than the original solo. Must have been all the friendly fire"
N2.III 183 Pull-ups
24:23 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
This one, on the other hand, was a lot easier than the original solo Ravagers still need to be accounted for, especially when you luck into a wave 6 hack in the centre of the map
N2.IV Now I Have Become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds
21:01 - SenorTomate | Emexxia | HamleticTortoise
If terrain were destructible in this game, by the time extraction rolled around there'd be no way to hide from ravagers' blasts with this setup nothing like two destroyers laying down enough firepower to stop double banshees in their tracks.

The Gordian Hour Hardcore
Stage 2 - Anger
33:15 - HamleticTortoise (252 494pts)
Why, oh why did you have to give me targets three times, you game! 
I usually take adr mod with this setup, switched it to cyclonics for this try, and it almost cost me extraction Not an easy one, but so satisfying to lock pretorians and scions down, then use a tcp and keep firing! I have never been grabbed by abominations as much as in this solo, perhaps I should have watched my back a tad more often...
Stage 2 - Anger - 35:30 ernesto_bih (238 911pts)

Stage 3 - Bargaining 40:40ernesto_bih (275 170pts)
Stage 4 - Depression 43:38 ernesto_bih (292 060pts)
And here is the last one:
Stage 5 - Acceptance - 37:11 ernesto_bih (243 558pts)
There is just something about completing W6 devices against Cerberus that gives you confidence in finishing the game.
i can relate
I feel you bro But, not only I was not able to rush them (and I don't know how to do it without getting myself pretty killed), I was not able to get 10WS. I will play cautiously, but some random sh1t is guaranteed to happen on W8 or so. Case in point:
Retour en haut
