Hello!
To help pass the time, meet new people, and enjoy a game I've come to view as a past time - I present to you random runs through the clockworks. We'll be going through various missions with random other knights that join us in our cause, as well as discuss various elements of the game from a non-pvp standpoint.
(Enjoy PvP/Lockdown? click here for Lockdown commentary)
Armed with a headset and several pots of coffee, it's just you me and my two fat cats listening me talk to my screen as we do nascar runs to the core and back. My party is nearly always open and I use steam, so feel free to slap on a headset and join in.

question

What's the resolution of your sk? Yours just looks almost wider than 1600x900 (and sharper). I would like to get in but don't have a mic (my headphones with mic busted a while ago)

Oh I see smaller rez maybe it's just me

I run 1280x720 60hz with all settings on low. I prefer frame rate over pretty for the most part. All of the recording is done by FRAPS and converted by Handbreak before being uploaded

How much cr did you make in episode 1?

Wed, 01/29/2014 - 17:24

Blue-Flood

Yikes i duno man :) maybe like 3k or so for a d28 arena. Didn't get anything special... i think two 5* items and a few radiants was the highlight.

I like your commentary over

I like your commentary over any I've seen so far, though that's not saying much.

Looking forward to more of your videos and random SK thoughts.

more! more! more!

I plan on watching every video. This is making me want to play again! Please don't stop!

Let us see the rewards at the end please. I like that part the most :)

Edit: adding this to my favourites tab.

Oh sure. Odds are I'll just do the last floor or vana himself... I'm trying to keep the length around 20 minutes max.

Well, they'll tie me over until something big comes, keep up the good work.

Also, you can sort your gear by stars so that all your five star gear is at the top of everything in your arsenal. just click the "sort by" button. if you already didn't know that, that is.

Last selfless bump I'll be doing for a while. Please leave a comment on this thread if you guys are interested in seeing more when I update!

If it gets pushed back a page or two I'll take that as a lack of interest and probably stop updating.

Fun stuff! Keep it up!

I for one would like to see Arkus have a few holes blown in him by a sexy Iron Slug at one point or another.

/Salute

As long as you keep posting interesting vids/commentary here, I'm sure people will find reasons to bump this past all the drivel that seems to appear in this forum section, even if it does get buried once in a while ;). It's always fun to hear commentary from a player using a different play style than yourself and you do also do a good job of including info for both old pros as well as less experienced players. Maybe when you get done with others requests, do a video of one of the compounds levels as a pure gunner? Keep up the good work!

Keep with the videos. I'm always checking your channel to see if you uploaded more.

respect is earned not given.

Prestige mission compound 42. Look how many RFC you get! Why are people moaning then?

Edit: oh wait. Are they shining fire crystals? watching on my phone so the text is blurry. That run was on elite?

Thu, 02/20/2014 - 18:21

Quartiq

Well done, well done. good to

Well done, well done. good to see that compounds are still manageable for a skilled gunner!
As to the boxes, yeah they do need more, although I'd say they should go behind the barriers at the end to reward players for making it through with more than 40cr. But also this.

@Arcknightdelta

Ya all runs are on elite, and those were all shinings.

@Quartiq

Ya that'd be nice for sure!

nice SL run.

Curious to know how Clwnbaby was able to have this Sepharynx Valk Aura last for so long?

Whimsicality

Probably a visual error. Always seems to happen with them Seraphynx users.

Arcknightdelta

hmm..

So it has no effect? He still takes damage?

Mon, 02/24/2014 - 01:04

#32

Fangel

Yup

It's a visual bug that occurs client-side. The person with the Seraphynx and activated the aura will not see it, and does not benefit from its effects.

Hey Blueflood

I'm not sure if you know this, but it seemed like you didn't when I watched a couple of your videos. When using the Leviathan charge attack on non-stationary targets, the sweetspot to hit is roughly the 7 to 11 o' clock position (the closer you are to the target the better). This will generally net you 2 hits on the Leviathan charge as opposed to 1 hit if you used auto-target or weren't close enough to your target or were outside the sweetspot range.
tl;dr: aim Levi charges slightly to the right of enemies.

My theory (if it matters at all), is that the Leviathan charge probably starts from the left-forward and sweeps around to finish at the left-back, allowing for two hits. The 3 hits on stationary targets probably is similar to the DA charge bug, wherein the affected area for the attack is still shifted even though you didn't move (because of a wall or stationary enemy). That may be the cause for the 3 hits on Gun Puppies and the like.

Bump for awesome videos!

Are you thinking of going to record a run of the D28 arena in the newest gate?
