blue try doing something new/different. The vids are still good but are becoming a bit boring. No offense though.
I'm guessing that's why not many people are posting anything anymore.....
Not playing Lockdown! (Video thread)
Well I'm open to suggestions. It's lockdown... we haven't been given new content in like.. a year? We still play it though :). Most of the feedback I get is in game, and if people like watching them I don't mind keeping them up. It's only around 7 mins of commentary as opposed to 40 mins of a slow paced LOL game. I started this in order to give a better perspective on how one should go about winning the game as opposed to just running in and hacking and slashing... so I'll keep this thread updated in hopes that new people will watch as they branch out on to the forums.
Maybe take a new challenge every 2 vids, e.g: Wear Proto armor, play with 1 weapon only.
I'm open to challenges, bring them on!
Also to spice it up, 100ce to you if I use your challenge in a vid. I'd add more but the SL keys drain me enough as it is :p.
I display all my gear on the Intro Vid for the clockworks runs I do if you guys need ingredients.
You're only allowed to attack while stood on a point, and you can only leave a point if there are no opponents occupying it (ie. you kill them or they leave it first).
Here's a challenge:
Wear your best armor/helm, but only use tier 1 weapons. Goal is to see how many kills you can get, as well as how long you can kite/distract/annoy hordes of people without dealing any real damage
Unplug your mouse and test your might with just your keyboard, 8 angles of pure gunning frustration!
p.s - great vids, keep it up sir.
Wow you guys are awesome. Challenge runs will start with EP 123!
Edit: Oops, i mean episode 124. Apparently I forgot how to count (thanks Bkgvucu... someone tell me how to pronounce that)
One sword, one bomb. However, you can only use your sword when your bomb is deployed. Which is time when the bomb is set down and when the mists disperses. With this setup I want to see how much damage you can possibly get. Good luck.
Play as striker, no AT, no striker dash allowed (not even for canceling your swings).
Good luck!
My best game so far played this way.
Chilling duelist. Freeze em.
Charge up a brandish line, preferably Voltedge. Enjoy the hate comments.
Any gear and trinkets.
Here's another challenge... Get your shivermist buster, your glacius, and your hail driver to see if you can get the entire enemy team to be frozen at the same time :D
lol. Do I get 100E for challenging challengers to challenge you challenges to challenge in your vids?
post up there.
Thanks for the challenge ideas!
The wife and I decided to take a week long break where we shut down the tv/computer to focus on faith family and friends, so no vids for a bit. See you in a week and thanks for the support!
nice Blue be nice to meet you, my IGN is same, remember, without the R""
Challenge:
You are only allowed to hit people when they have been snowballed either by you or any other player.
Goal:
Hit at least 5K damage while abiding by the rule.
I challenge you to use at least three weapons, preferrably of the same type because that'd be cooler (for example, three toothpicks or four brandishes).
When engaging an enemy, you must choose one weapon. Until you score a hit with that weapon, you may not switch weapon. If you score a hit with said weapon, you must change weapon. You may not use any weapon to hit anyone twice unless you've hit them with all your weapons once already. You may not hit someone with any weapon twice in a row if it's the last weapon in your cycle.
For example, let's say you have these weapons:
Final Flourish
Barbarous Thorn Blade
Furious Flamberge
You engage the enemy and you choose to use the Flamberge first. You may not switch weapon if you've started attacking with it, until you score a hit. Then you must switch weapon to FF or BTB. Let's say you pick FF. You score a hit with it and must now switch to BTB. When you score a hit with the BTB, you've hit the enemy once with every weapon but you may not use the BTB until you've used another weapon.
Hope I made myself clear enough.
Actually, if you want to do this and you only have three slots, contact me before recording it and I'll send you another slot.
Go to your enemie's base and troll them from capping with...
Brandish line (No AT)
Any gun (Still No AT)
I have an extra camera i bought a while back. Face cam anyone? I always thought it takes the focus away from what's going on.... your thoughts?
Challenge:
Rules:
-Keyboard only
-No mouse
-Score 5k+ Damage
Conditions:
-Auto-Target off
-Auto Target toggle off
-Swords and Guns only
I tried to keep it simple, hope you like it.
Challenge proposal:
Try to inflict 3 separate statuses on your victims at once. Shock and Fire would be your two mandatory statuses, and the third can either be stun, or whatever else you feel like using.
The NES challenge!
Play the game as if you had an NES controller.
- You may use a gamepad or a keyboard.
- No mouse, no sticks if you use a gamepad (so you'd use the d-pad instead)
- You're limited to using four inputs for movement and/or direction, such as a d-pad or arrow keys/WASD
- You may only use four buttons for other input.
- Two of these must be rather inconveniently placed (for example, if you play with arrow keys+Z and X, use something like 1 and 2 or O and P)
- If you're using a gamepad, use two face buttons and equivalents of start and select, just like on the NES gamepad.
- You may use modifier so that you can preform a proper amount of actions as the game requires.
Hey Blueflood, I have seen you always use one alchemer gun. Why not try alchemer switching with 2 or more alchemers whilst being a recon as a challenge?
- No swords.
- Any trinkets will do.
- Try your best to survive.
- Use recon.
All great challenges!
In response to the alchemer switching, I do do that on occasion. My style has more emphasis on being accurate and dodging as opposed to the Seiran style of magic fingers and spraying bullets. If anything I prefer grabbing a no damage/all asi gear set and having fun with the storm/magma drivers :). We'll see though.
At the moment my mouse is broken, and I'm waiting for the other to arrive. Luckily I have like 5 scheduled vids which will be posted daily, so the channel wont be affected all that much.
Since your mouse is out of commission, I have the perfectly horrendous challenge for this occasion that doesn't require the mouse pointer at all. Quite the contrary.
Now as much as everyone is up in arms about Auto Target, let's have some insight on what it can do if the user has minimal aiming input at all? That is, the user stays looking in one direction, and doesn't make any input to change direction, letting Auto Target do that for you.
Recommended Control scheme:
Arrow Keys bound to Move North, Move South, Move East, Move West. Face North, Face South, Face East, Face West all unbound entirely.
Any buttons can be used for Attack, Defend, and Dash. I personally use Z, X, and V respectively.
Alternately:
WASD for Move North, Move South, Move East, Move West. Any keys for Attack, Defend, and Dash. No use of mouse/touchpad/pointer at all! That ruins the point!
The direction you are facing in the beginning of the match is the direction you must face for the duration! You can use any loadout you desire, however the Auto Target Antigua, Flourish, and Brandish are way too good, right? Show them the sheer power of Auto Target!
Added my version of a performance tweak tutorial. Hopefully it helps some of you!
Burning Snowman Challenge: Try to burn someone while having them simultaneously snowballed
- Use any fire-status weapons: Ash of Agni, Magma Driver, Fang of Vog, Furious Flamberge, etc.
- Snowball enemies on ice maps (Avenue, Downtown)
Here's another one:
Play recon. Use Cold Snap. Freeze bad guys. Death mark bad guys. Hit bad guys with 2nd GF hit (or similar).
EDIT: See if you can get a kill from the damage that shock or fire does. I don't care what you use. Probably something that inflicts fire and/or shock.
I decided my other challenge seemed boring.
Now you know how I use No AT acheron :D Good Job Btw
P.S. You could have just stay at the enemy's cap point Lol...But meh
Double P.S. Latency with No AT Brandish is not garbage xD
Fires a torpedo challenge
Well... I have some special for you, you have to get a kill streak of 6 or more (Steal kills are allowed) with using biohazard, Carbine, and... Callahan (or Slug)
You can wear any of your armor and have trinkets.
Any class as well.
Fire them torpedo for me will ya? :)
/me fires a torpedo.
@Hellscream
Ya I know. If gunning has taught me anything it's that you can get good with just about any style if you practice. I'm gona dig deep and see if I can push out all this bias I seem to bellow out and give a better feel with the commentary. Discussing tactics is one thing, but it can surely be done without the negative vibe. Thanks for the call-out Krakob.
New challenge!
Challenge name: Blue is my name
Rules:
-
Challenge can only be done when your team color is Blue.
You can only use Blue(ish) weapons for this challenge! (Example: Glacius, Voltedge, Hail Driver, Polaris, Neutralizer, Voltaic Temprest, etc.)
You can choose any class you want (Striker, Recon, Guardian).
You cannot use AT cause that stuff is for ______ .
Suggested soundtrack: Blue - Eiffel 65
Good luck!
You cannot use AT cause that stuff is for people on the Yellow team.
Fixed that for ya.
The Alfredo Challenge
(Just saw Reto's post, we suggest songs too? In that case, Pyromania by Cascada or Light em up by fallout boy would do)
Here's one I want to test, but cant cause i suck at ld
Loadout:
Any armor, but weapons are Shivermist, Voltaic Tempest, and FoV.
The challenge: Get someone frozen (I guess hail driver can be used aswell)
2) Shock them with VT
3) FoV charge shot them. If done correctly, I'm imagining about 30 or so bars of damage flying out of your target.
When they are frozen, i'd suggest laying the shock bomb so the explosion doesnt break the freeze, and then charging the FoV as soon as you lay the charge bomb so they cant escape (Probably recon class)
If you don't have the bombs, the 4* versions could do as well if you want to make them. I would really be interested in seeing this happen. Cheers!
I dont think anyone can survive 4 FoV charge hits (thats like 1.5k dmg)
No commentary for ep 155. Busy with life and no time to do commentary, so here are some random matches with some gun action. Enjoy!
@Bloefloof
I tried the FoV plus a 2* Static capacitor on a willing yet derpy victim, and with one test it did not use all 4 hits. However, I was not positioned correctly and the guy wasnt in a corner, so that probably threw it off. Thoeritically with no invinciframes FoV should rek, but ill get back to u after some more testing :)
Bomb was only 2* as well, so once I get everything maxed i hoe it works!
You should invite others to play with you and communicate w/ voice chat, I think that could be entertaining, not to mention different from all your solo commentary.
dual commentary using something like skype, mumble, vent, etc. could be interesting depending on who you invite
and skype allows for screensharing so whoever you do that with can show off their loadouts and stuff before the match
try to push enemies with help of knockback (nitro, GF, BAB, etc) into traps like freeze traps in frostbite or fire traps in that fire map (forgot the name >.<). Punish those who use chaos!
1. the opponent has to die of the trap, not by your attack (youll see if you get a heart)
2. your teammates can't kill the opponent who is trapped/on fire
oh also i guess i have a challenge
the man with the golden gun:
-any kill you pick up during a match must be secured using argent peacemaker for the killshot
-you may use other weapons with your loadout, but your armorset must be full justifier
-your goal should be to accumulate at least 4 kills with argent peacemaker for the finish
-any kill you secure that isn't earned via argent peacemaker results in -1 from your count; any kill you secure with argent peacemaker is +1
--enemies that are killed by hazard, status (fire, shock) or teammates is +/-0, or in other words, don't count against you
i came up with this on the fly but the idea is to selectively engage your targets and control the pacing of the fight in such a way that allows for you to calculate how many hits you'll need to meet the criteria above. in the event your net's being stupid, here's a simpler one that's a lot more accomodating.
from russia with love:
-win a match with at least 3 caps OR defends, using nothing but triglav and/or sudaruska charge to fight
--you can use the first swing of your sword to hit someone as well, but only as long as you attempt to complete a charge off of it
---if you full combo more than 5 times during the match with the sword of your choice, you forfeit the challenge
i'll try to find more ways to tie in james bond references to the challenges but yeah those are the ones i suggest for now
Record a match where your team is made up mostly of Callahan. Side weapons (ex: status alchemers, vortex) allowed, but the significant playing point should be Callahan, and preferably with charge.
Optional: Have a guardian nearby too, to shield the callahan group.
---
I was in a glorious match where this happened, and would love to see something like this one more time, immortalized in video.
Bonus points for pulling it off before the Magnus update.
Try to shock people and then kill them with a DVS combo
i will have you know
i'm watching on my phone right now because my work browser doesn't support HTML5
keep it up
Been fiddling around with Youtube settings and found out they have a scheduler! I'll be poopin out one vid a day if i can help it. Thanks again to everyone for the encouragement, it's inspiring!
