Uploaded this video because Magnus kept telling me I wasn't able to do Vanaduke solo without deaths. He has yet to upload a video where he does it without exploits + full vog, lol... So much for being the best player in the game, enjoy all!

Whenever the haters get you down, prove them wrong and watch them rage :)

I am a strong believer that nobody should ever exploit bugs in this game to make content easier.
I really despise everybody who has done vanaduke via trapping, pushing the zombies in the the corner to avoid slag guard spawns and etc.

I usually solo vanaduke 5-6 times a week without taking damage, just for fun.
Would love to hear some more video ideas from fans/viewers.

Happy gaming and keep it legit!

Don't see the point of this. Vanaduke is just a lag-fest, most people die when their screen freezes for a third of a second and the..*poof* you're dead.

My best tip is to try and avoid things rather than block them.
Practice vanaduke solo a few times, it will make you loads better at doing it with groups.
I find it much harder with groups myself as I cannot control everything in the fight as well.

I load up the video, skip to 2 minutes in, I see you have taken damage phase 1, I see you are in vog, with a strike needle, etc.

This is just awful. Try again. Put up some vids of solo tier 3 danger room, preferably gun puppy or gremlin/jelly spike room (quicksilver = automatic disqualification).

I think it says something though when I look up to Magnus as a god, and I easily defeat you in Lockdown even when you have one or two buddies with you. You're not really worthy of back talking him. If he calls you a scrub, you probably are.

You're a strong believer

You're a strong believer alright. Pretty much with everything.
Its kind of sickening to the head too. You should stop that and take some steps back into reality.
Speaking of reality, any good player can do this, they just don't have enough free time as you do to record it. And what exploits on Vanaduke? They got rid of them all. Another thing, Chris, you need to stop bringing up Magnus all the time. If you don't like him so much, why do you even still care for him as much? Gee.
Grats though, you can solo the 'hardest' boss pretty much everyone has mastered, on a game made for children.

"a top player"? Not sure if such even exists, honestly. Skillful players do, sure. Magnus claims he's the best? Who cares, it's really mostly a general silly thing of his that everybody apparently falls for.

Now, seriously Chris. Let's put aaaaall this bullcrap apart; I'd like to make a single request out of you.
Stop constantly harassing me, my officers and my guild because of a simple silly thing you have with Magnus, and stop going so low and lying so much about all this ridiculous and stupid crap nobody really cares about just to make yourself and/or your guild look "better". If you got something with Magnus, really, just deal with him in private and stop getting everybody else involved in this, most specifically, our guilds.

I'm seriously tired of all this harassment you have been causing to us recently, and how you just love showing off, saying Knightmare is better than Guild, or whatever. There is no best guild, every guild is the best in its own way. A guild can't be skilled in itself; It can have skilled and experienced members. Etc, etc.

Don't even get me started with "the best player" thing.

This is a simple request. Stop involving our guilds and players in this, and going as low as to just do direct insults like that, and just chill out. This is just a game, and we're just having fun.

A bit more on-topic: Good job, but no death isn't that difficult. I look forward to your no damage taken run, I guess?

There needs to be another

There needs to be another difficulty level in this game... Maybe a "Hard" mode where monsters/bosses don't scale to your team size or something. I just feel the boss fights in this game are a little too easy. I don't mean to belittle you OP; I doubt I could do the same currently with the gear I have.

But at the same time, there are vids of people killing bosses in insane amounts of time; JK in less than 30 seconds solo, and Vana in a minute or two with a team etc. I want to feel powerful, but man I like a challenge too. The end game shrinks quite a lot without enough.

Thanks for completely ignoring everything I have said in my post and just being a jerk and continuing this pointless crap.

Did you even notice how I said there's no best player, and what Magnus does is mostly a silly thing for fun?

And honestly, "you mad?"? Seriously? Still with that comeback?
But I'm not mad. (probably a bit? Wait, why does it matter?) Just upset. You seem to be the one mad, though, what with "Magnus sucks" and all.
I'm not hating. I'm sad about how far you can go with this. I'm pretty sure you remember the nice, long conversation we had that other time, right? Actual nice and long. No sarcasm here; I enjoyed it, even if you'd exaggerate several things and keep that "u mad" thing up.

I'm sorry you're unable to think as an actual decent person for once and put all this bullcrap behind you and stop harassing us like that.

Enjoy your "free bump".

Excuse me?

Excuse me?
I'm not concerned about your achievement. I am concerned with how you keep feeling the need to harass us. Good for you, you solo'd Vanaduke with no deaths, golly GEE wilikers.
You are the only person angry here, obviously. We would just like you to stop harassing us because you are irritated with one person. If you have a problem with something, you don't go create ridiculous drama at every possible place and with every possible person, you go to the one problem, and be a humane man about it. You work it out correctly and not like an idiot. What you have been doing is not acceptable. You are acting like an hypocritical child by not even acknowledging us. If you do not care so much to be mature about this problem, then quit it. Quit what you are doing to yourself, to your guild, our guild, and us. Your actions are so redonkulous its just unexplainable.
Knock the assumptions off as well, it is just terrible behavior. Calling us "jealous" and "mad" is ignorant. We are not here to flame, or express any anger, or envy. We are here to approach this on-going problem with your immaturity towards us. You are not any better of a man by ignoring us in public. You sure love to argue and flip out when talking to us individually huh? You don't want to make yourself look bad either too. You do not want anybody to know how false you are. Be a real man; you are an immature coward right now. Completely avoiding us, and avoiding reality.
Hypocrite. Sad, sad, hypocrite. Stop trying to give us a bad reputation. It is not going to work. Stop hiding from your beliefs, go on, Chris, tell the world how you feel about us. Tell your biased opinion.
Oh, you probably wont because you are afraid to ruin your "ego".
Really, sad.

inb4 you ignore me. But whatever, I said what I needed too. I hope you take some mind, Chris. You are just like any other sad, isolated troll. Afraid to tell the truth and only the false.

Agree with Snipe

Although it is a mediocre video, I give you props for soloing Vanaduke! It does seem as if you Hate Magnus for some reason. (Taken from the beginning of your video). Hate doesn't make you a great player, just immature. You have potential Chris! Tap into it!

I recall Chris posting in a

I recall Chris posting in a certain Tetra Heart Pendant Bazaar thread saying he had "never done anything immature on Spiral Knights."

Aaand, three seconds into the video...

"Magnus sucks"

Really Chris? I won't lie; I'm not the biggest fan of Magnus and his ego that is larger than human comprehension, but really all you are doing by flaming Guild and their Youtube videos is trying to cover your insecurity. You have no legitimate response to anything posted by its members (or anyone else, for that matter), and by calling them "kids" you are trying to imply that you are the adult chastising little kids. If anything, the opposite is true. All you sound like is a typical 14-year-old MMO gamer trying to make himself feel good by belittling others that obviously are more mature and actually have responses to your ridiculous arguments.

Thanks to you, Chris, Knightmare will just be remembered as "that preview guild that could never really keep up with the big boys." Your attempts to bring Knightmare into relevance all end up trying to make Guild look bad.

Never done anything immature on Spiral Knights... nobody's falling for that. And the sad thing is, you won't even have a response to this post. You will either a) make fun of me and/or my guild, b) ignore it completely, or c) pretend you don't understand what I mean. You heard it here first.

Magnus constantly harrassed me about not being able to solo vanaduke with no deaths like I said I did daily

He is the only reason I uploaded the video

From what I can see it is the best vanaduke solo on youtube.

Also I wasn't at my house and the unfamiliar keyboard and mouse were messing with me a lot.

I do vanaduke solo without taking damage 5+ times a week.

The reason for the "Magnus sucks" was suggested before recording the video to make him and his guild mad, which it has done :3

I see the same people on this game all the time. Whether you like it or not, this game has a fairly small community, and people get to know each other rather quickly, either personally, or through word of mouth. You might not think it, but what you say and do leaves an impression on others, and when you get known for having a certain disposition, it can have a lasting, negative effect on how others perceive you, especially in a small game like this.

It appears that not many people in this thread are taking you seriously because of what you are saying. The people here are but an extension of everyone you have interacted with in this game. Perhaps, if the vast majority of people are telling you that what you are doing is childish or immature, that they are not all collectively wrong, and you are not necessarily right?

"Perhaps, if the vast majority of people are telling you that what you are doing is childish or immature, that they are not all collectively wrong, and you are not necessarily right?"

The vast majority have never even heard of him. There's a reason he's being obnoxious - he doesn't have the skill to keep a high profile, so he tries to grab attention like this. Here's the thing though - gimmicks like this get you five minutes of fame. If you want to be a Magnus, you have to actually improve your game.

I have NEVER insulted you, NEVER. Don't even start to drag us into this, Chris. DON'T. This is just more PROOF, of your immaturity. WOW. Way to edit your post because we asked you to stop harassing US, and you just CONTINUE to shove your lies into everyone's heads??

@ Trihelix

@ your comment about Knightmare

Knightmare is the most mature and exclusive guild in the game at the moment. We recieve and decline the most applicants per day, we have up to 15 people in vent at a time, and 20+ members online at all times and our guild is always full.

At least 95% of our members are 18+ and all members under that age are outstandingly mature.

We have the oldest and strongest vanaduke team that has been doing vanaduke since october of last year when we were in full 2* gear.
Magnus claims to be the first to get a Fang of Vog when we had the tokens to buy one before he started playing the game. 15% of our guild has been playing Spiral Knights since before most known veteran players had even signed up.

No need to bash my guild because you are upset about a little conflict on the forums, you clearly know nothing about Knightmare, it's members, and it's achievements.
