@ Kouzrah: Congrats! It's not an easy challenge. What build did you go for?

@Ziegrif: I knew you were going for sub-40. Congrats. We both know that at the end of the day, it's worth the consumables ;)

Looking forward to the vids. I'm getting tempted to see if I can go sub-40 with more power amps..

HoF Updated!

Yeah you can get below 40 easily if you can manage to not get shot or ninjad by brutes and ravagers.

Just noticed that uploading a WMV file takes twice as long as uploading an MKV file, I'm trying a different upload format that might save me some time in the future but I'd need to find editing software that can edit MKVs. Going to see if I'll completely switch format if Yootoob likes it and makes teh quality better than WMV files.

Also had to mute some parts and replace with other songs... frigging Disney and their draconian copyrights...

Thanks ! I know my time is crappy but it's only my 4th gold solo so I'm proud anyways :)

I failed 4 or 5 times with my usual 6/6/6/5/3 power damage build (with a bit of help from ninja joins and too much beer with my dinner). Then I realized that the Disciple wasn't as bad as I thought with warp ammo and that I needed more fitness so I tried this build.
To be honest, I wasn't quite happy with the build but I managed to finish it thanks to the addition of a geth scanner (and maybe because the alcohol was out of my system xD).

Actually trying it makes me realize how much skill is involved in solos like this. When I watch Hendrix's vids it looks so easy but when I'm the one playing, I see that there is NO WAY I could play like this xD
So good job guys, you have my respect and admiration.

@ ziegrif: yeah I'm gonna give it a shot tomorrow, mainly cause I'm curious as to how much biotic damage she can deal out! I need to look into improving my vid quality. Unfortunately, I have an Xbox so it means filming with an HD cam, converting to mp4 then uploading to the youtube elves. Let me know which format u choose, I might try it out.

@kouzrah: It's not about time at all. It's that satisfaction of completing a tough challenge :) also, that's pretty solid for just your fourth solo! Definitely something to be proud of. In fact, many people are not able to solo even with very OP set-ups. Not to mention, you currently have the high score! I'm sure with more beer, you woulda gotten under 30 mins.

 Video is up and MKV is so much better quality wise it's not even funny.

I used Handbrake a free program to change the video into a MKV you can easily find it off google and it's a really easy prgram to use.
MKV files are also half as large as WMV files making the upload process take half as long as it takes with WMV files. My files dropped from 6 gigs to 3 gigs and the quality drop isn't that much even if I recorded in 85% quality wise of what MSI is capable of.
Just woke up and I can't even see what I'm writing. @-@

Edit: Just noticed that Frank Sinatra got the video banned in Germany. Frank Sinatra. Ny teh britches of Hesus Alejandro Ricardo Diaz Christ... what is wrong with you Germanys copyright system?

Nice Job! The justicar doesn't seem out of your element in the vid. The cryo really eliminates the pesky marauders well too.

Ha! Frank Sinatra. It's not banned in the US, yet! 

HoF updated :)

If that ever happens, if the world is robbed of Frank Sinatras music in ANYWAY WHATSOEVER It's a frigging crime against humanity. Which is why am also disappointed with german policies... to ban Sinatra is just... sad.

Thank you and congrats to your solo. There was a time when I felt the same as you (I still kinda do when I watch videos from people like Sirian), but if you keep doing solos they'll start to feel easier and easier. Actually I think this thread is a really good place to practice your soloing skills. I would've never even tried a solo with the Disciple if it wasn't for challenges like this.

Speaking of practicing solos. I tried using a power IV amp instead of cyclonic. I got this on the first attempt and it basically shaved 5 minutes off my time :) I'm pretty happy with this run other than the fact that my acolyte lost its sound. Thanks for the advice Ziegrif. Still not close to Hendrix, but I'm good with this one until next week!

I'll upload the vid today and update HoF.

Thanks! I lucked out and got drone, drone and targets (although I had 1 missile left for wave 10, so had to grind that out a bit). Marauders gave me some trouble and I just led the ravagers into my bubble for a quick death by BE. Thankfully, I didn't get pinned by any Brute family this time.

I know, I know, dat time, but it was only my 3rd successful gold solo, so I'm pretty proud of it. And I kinda hate the Disciple, and HATE HATE the Goddess map. And not a particular fan of the Justicar either.

Unforunately, I have no means to record, so screenshots only. Sry.

I parroted Caineghis' build (no bubble, I suck with the bubble, no scratch that, I suck with the Justicar, period), but went with the Disciple instead, no way I can do that crazy sh** with the Acolyte. The objectives were: targets, hack (that one in the center, ugh) and devices. Used one rocket for target switching on wave 3 and another one to clean up on wave 10 after the objective.

Do I get a pat on the back?

Baaaah.
If I had the patience I'd try to shave more time off my run.
But I'm low on stuff... like sanity.

Wow, Acolyte with Power Mag and Power Amp IV REALLY does make a difference. I would've never thought that stacking Reave is so effective. I've ony used it as a Primer for BE's and Warp Ammo thus far. I was also very lucky with objectives (three escorts) and spawns.

@Crimson: It's pretty sweet isn't it? Go for it!

@Ziegrif: Yeah, I'm gonna take a few days off of soloing for now. I was just curious. I didn't even want to go back to the disciple, I got so used to the acolyte.

Congrats on that one, very impressive. Looking forward to see the video. Should be a nice combination of good tactics, spectre skills and a little bit of RNG luck. And definitely a good lesson on how to play the Justicar.

Seems that you were right all along, Balbock. Oh the irony, not even 24 hours ago I wrote this:

Haha, I got exactly the same objectives. Decent time, considering you were using Reave to kill stuff.
