A hilarious game to report in. So I thought that playing the Human Male Adept against Collectors on Giant would be a good choice for my first full non Huntress Plat solo and midway through the game I think, "well this looks like a great choice". Everything goes according to plan, I kite around a little, have time to drink during waves and basically control the battlefield. Then wave 6, targets come along and because everything goes so well till then I say to myself "c'mon let's quicken this up a bit and use missiles". Great idea: five missiles later the targets are killed (yeah, I missed one
) and I still have one missile left.
Problem: Of course I wanted that missile to clear out wave 10, but in wave 8 I use it as emergency missile. So with no missiles left I get devices in wave 10. Usually on Giant no prob, but this time I get two devices in the middle. After some kiting all devices are a go, but now the fun started: with no clear-out missile and the Primes always flanking me so that I don't have enough time to get rid of the Banshees who also use their "Belgian spinner"-tactic to stay alive I'm kiting and kiting and kiting...
20 or maybe even 30 minutes later I finally separate the two Banshees and get rid of the first, then the second, rest is a breeze. Man, that wave 10 finale felt like an eternity. Never in danger to fail, but not able to close the deal for an ETERNITY.
Still, hereby I report the first Human Adept plat solo against Collectors. Will have to try again to get to a more respectable time later,,, (with that I mean for me, so maybe to 80 or 90 minutes
)

BTW: Maybe I should retire the PPR for Plat solos.
