Oh, don't worry, RNG seems willing to grant everyone else a SHOK ring before me.
Mortiel just got his first last night. And he's been playing about as long as I have.
Awww, you'll get your ring soon. You know why?

Trying to get this challenge the "normal" way didn't work, so i listened to the devs and stole all the kills. Ignoring normal enemies and beelining it to the pride demons was a lot of fun. There was a lot of challenge to be found in not getting kicked from the game for being a dick.

I thought I was being sneaky, using the Reaver for the challenge so no one could be mad at me for killing everything big asap, but nope turns out many of my companeros stole my kills I was trying to steal. So this took longer than expected.
And of course as soon as I'm finished with the stupid challenge, I switch to my Ele and no one seems to even look at all those Bruisers, Behemoths etc. Ugh, PUGS pls. ![]()

Is there something wrong on the PS3 as I've been playing quite a bit and only have 17 kills. There doesn't seem to be very many of the ones we need spawning. I've played matches where we haven't had any? Anyone else having troubles?
They're spawning, watch out for higher level characters running ahead of the group and killing them before you even see them. I was promoting earlier and running threatening, and I saw several times level 18 - 19 people make a mad dash for the end of a stage. Hidden blades ruined a few of their attempts.

PC passed 51k. Dunno if we make it.
After getting stuck on 13/30 I decided to solo it. Two FC matches against Venatori and Darkspawn (lucky)... and I finished.

I think PC will be able to finish fine. We still have all of tonight and tomorrow to do the rest, I think we're right on track.

Played about a dozen games with friends over the course of the day. It happened naturally somewhere in the middle of that. I don't see what the big deal is with people pushing the solo games so much. It's only as 'anti-coop' as you make it.
That's just not true. Sure you can manage it without much hassle when playing with a team... if you have a lot of time to play. Not everyone does, so they'll solo it just for the chest. Additionally, even if people all had a lot of time, it doesn't mean it's a team-oriented challenge. Bioware could have easily just inflated the target kills and had all of the party's kills count, but they chose not to. That does not encourage team-play, regardless of if it can be done with team-play.
It would be like having a challenge to get 100 kills with a weapon type in one game. Sure, you can do it with a team, but it encourages you to solo. So long as they could easily have team-oriented challenges and choose not to, I'll blame Bioware. So long as they encourage kill-stealing in their streams, I'll blame Bioware.

Sometimes, you need to read between the lines. Sure, they may joke about the kill-stealing on the streams, but did you ever stop to think that perhaps, the meta-message was the opposite?
In any event, play to have fun, and not to 'grind' out some challenge.

No way, on the internet you have to take everything at face value. ALWAYS.

In that case, I know a cute unattached Korean girl, who cooks, models lingerie, and plays video games who, incidentally, is just dying to meet you...

You cherry picked that statement but missed the intent of his post.
It is not a challenge that encourages cooperative play, but in fact discourages it.
Yes, given an infinite amount of time, you could complete the challenge regardless of circumstances.
But if you primarily play keeper, or bard, or don't have great DPS yet as a tank, or are undergeared still, it's not practical to attempt to do this challenge with other players.
They will take all of the kills, and you'll be stuck on this quest.
Especially, when considering that you can just go solo and knock it out in routine with minimal effort.
As to playing the way you want to play, most players want to achieve the goals set out for them.
This is a goal by Bioware that implicitly discourages cooperative behavior (teaming up in co-op) and encourages non-cooperative behavior (sniping kills, running ahead of the team to ensure you get the kill, ignoring more high priority targets for quest targets to the detriment of your team, and of course ignoring co-op altogether and just soloing).

I'm a she, but yes, thanks for writing this so I didn't have to
Yes, we should play for fun in general, but Bioware could have easily made the same exact challenge encourage cooperation, but elected not to. Simple as that. I don't understand them. They should want to encourage people to play, and together.

Apologies for the mistake.
But yeah, as I said in another thread, they should just change the challenge to:
Not so co-op: Solo routine 6-10 times.

No problem. Hmm, I wonder how many times we would have had that challenge if we replaced every challenge that encouraged soloing with that one... and what the ratio to team challenges to solo challenges is.
