BTW capn, since you're not permitting scanner and AC V, I would suggest a ban on the usage of incendiary cheese too. 

 

I don't know.  I mean how much are you going to ban?  Not allow IA at all?  Not allow it with Incinerate and Warp or just Warp?

 

I could be a dictator and add ammo to the mission parameters, but I wanted some flexibility in the way you can approach each mission, even if it isn't entirely obvious at a first glance that there are several ways to accomplish each one.

 

edit:

 

Just talking purely interaction here, the Engineer, Adept and Sentinel are potentially affected.

 

Engineer - I think the weapon choice on both missions sort of limits IA already.  Falcon's ROF is too low, leaving Hornet.  It will kill Atlases faster with cheese, but I don't know that the cheese is a huge deal against the rest of their units or the dangerous ones.

 

Adept - Maybe it would be a factor on 3?  The weapons aren't great.  For 10 I am not particularly concerned, the cheese won't get you the gold melee medal.

 

Sentinel - Probably 4 is the most susceptible to cheese.  It is sort of early and supposed to be in between light and moderate difficulty.  Since I spec'd Tech kills, I don't know that I want to remove half the decent ammos that can accomplish that.  Would maybe push slightly more towards TA kills.  But I think the average player will have their hands full with Collectors on Glacier Hazard anyway.  For 9, I suppose it would be tempting to go IA with Locust since it doesn't have great DPS.  I don't know.  The damage isn't going to be amazing even with it (I was thinking likely HCB and AP4 if I were to play it today).

^ I was referring to the incinerate/warp - incendiary ammo interaction. 3 characters would be affected, three won't. 

 

Just a thought. I am totally fine with use of IA staying on. As you said, only reapers and collectors are significantly affected by cheese - geth and cerberus aren't affected much.

[capn233]

Been screwing around with the post.  I think I should stop changing things for now.

Stay tuned group! T-24 hrs

 

Edit: Or less...

[capn233]

Oh one other dirty trick I want to add... let me know what you think:

 

Extraction required in the first block to do the mission for the class in the second block.

[TheNightSlasher]

I'd like to see some combination of the most powerful builds and weapons in the game in action combined together in some trio or duo challenges. Just for fun and to break the habit once for a while.

Harrier TGI

Reegar AIU

Acolyte GT

Talon GI

I think Reegar Batarian Soldier is better than Reegar AIU.

[capn233]

As an aside, I shouldn't have used time reqs for the later medals.

Sure, we can remove those for part 2.

Well I don't know.

 

Really I just want input on if those numbers are fair or not.  Or if people think it is going to be too objective RNG dependent.  PC probably has a slight advantage just for objectives, even ignoring editing chance since pizza delivery is easier / faster, isn't it?

 

Really I hadn't paid attention too closely before to the number of people that were still active in this, so I was going to see partly how week 1 was playing out.

[AW_FC_1986]

I guess only one hour is a little too short for two challenges, when you can´t use Geth Scanner. Or you could extent it to 1:10. 

[capn233]

So keep the time limit, but use 70 minutes instead?

[AW_FC_1986]

Exactly. We can see how this is going to work.

[capn233]

Yeah.  I was toying with just dropping it entirely from the Close Combat Expert just because I think melee adept is so screwy that just finishing it should get you reward.  Dunno.  It is powerful when done right.

 

Will just set them to 70min for the time being.

[capn233]

Also, what do you think about Tech Expert and Biotic Expert?

 

I imagine Tech is probably actually easier to get since it just requires 4 Golds on Engineer v Reactor / Geth.  Biotic has the 5WS v Geth on Hydra.  Should I revamp those reqs?

[AW_FC_1986]

I think Tech Expert and Biotic Expert can stay as they are, because they are an optinal objective.

 

I agree with you on droping mission 10 out of the close combat expert badge, because 50 melees ( ) will surely take some time. Maybe mission 9 should replace Mission 10. 

 

Edit: How do I get 25 tech kills as a Vanguard on mission 11? Do I have to use DR or IR? Just wondering .

[capn233]

I wouldn't drop it out of the badge, that is the only melee mission, and has to be in it somehow. Even if it is just "Complete Mission 10 and 11."

 

FWIW, melee HA can 2 punch every Cerbie unit except the Atlas.

 

Yes you have to use an ammo power for the tech kills on 11, which really isn't a huge deal for a Novaguard I don't think.

I really liked the idea of the Tiptree challenge, though it is a really sad story. But there is one character in the ME universe, who must get a weekly solo: Conrad Verner!

Wannabe N7 spectre and biggest loser in the galaxy.
Well, give him at least one heroic appearance.

I like it! Never actually though about good old Conrad Not even an N2 scrub... He'll definitely show up soon (prob next week lol)

[AW_FC_1986]

Do you think the Alliance has the N-7 (minus) rank?

Conrad Verner chronicles. Ooooh boy

[AW_FC_1986]

The only character Conrad could be, is a vanilla human male soldier or engineer. I can´t imagine, that he has any biotic abilities or the skill to use a sniper rifle.

 

The weapon choice is more difficult IMO. I think of the Vindicator. The Acolyte is additionally allowed on Platinum for Phantoms only.
