Hello knights!

In some attempt to try make running the Arcade exciting and fun, we are experimenting with 'new' weapon combinations! We aim to make some practical use out of under-appreciated weapons or weapon functions; and to use weapons that are extremely effective in synergy that may not be as efficient alone.

Here are some videos of what we have been up to:

Troika Charges Vs. Elite Danger Room - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ6KDg6O3nQ

BAB + Irontech Bomb in Candlestick Keep - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o666y--y2_g

The c42 Treatment - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3XkxgLZhlg&feature=youtu.be

If you have any suggestions, tips or ideas please leave a comment here or on the video. Similarly questions and constructive criticism are welcome!

Thankyou! And happy travels, friend.

Ooh, goodie!

I'm glad players like you exist. Willing to take up a job to show the larger community what these more underrated weapons can do!

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure about some amazing suggestions right now but do you think you could do a little show of some of the harder hitting but slow weapons? Like a mix with Sudaruska, Irontech Destroyer/Bomb, and Iron Slug? I see plenty of strikers and Chaos Clones running around with DVS and Combuster spamming but I've never seen a single player use these 3 items in unison except for me.

It's sad too considering that playing as a Trojan is fun.

Yes, thank you for the kind words!

Regarding your suggestion it sounds perfect (especially with the stuff we're hoping to do) and we would love to give it a shot. A troika + magnus + irontech combination would certainly be fun, and I can imagine it feeling like a tank loadout. If you would like, you could run with us; and perhaps I will be able to record a triple trojan threat arcade run?

Perhaps so.

It's a school week for me which means I have about 2 hours of play time each day. But coming soon I have Winter Break (+my first Winterfest!). I also don't have a YouTube account yet if that would happen to be a problem, though I'd doubt it so long as you or Zigurate are recording. Other than that I could probably find some time to join in.

I have all 3 of the weapons currently, though unleveled. Once again, if this so happens to be a problem, eh... Can't quite find a solution around that.

Sounds great

Hooray for the holidays!

Anyways, having no youtube account is not a problem at all. I think it's enough for only one to record.

As for the under-leveled weapons, that is no big deal. My Triglav is only level 4 and I doubt it will hinder your gameplay. As always, thanks for the response and hope to see you in-game. Others are welcome to join in as well! Just send me a friend request or such and we can do some runs for the fun!

Sounds like fun.

I would like to join in on the fun as well. My Biohazard is itching for stuff to blow up. What time will the runs be?

Hello

Sure thing, just add me as a friend so we can organise something.

Now that I see other people

Now that I see other people doing it, I might as well dust off meh Callahan and blast some heads off. :3

What about Alchemer charges only?

Not that hard, but it could be a lot of fun.

My bad for the delayed post...

Thanks, for the notes everyone! I will have some new videos coming up soon!

@Krakob

Right. I don't really feel the need to point it out, but I was definitely inspired by Shard Squad (and Fehzor). However, I have consciously tried to create videos without re-using their ideas or loadouts for the sake of some originality (because we all like original content, right?). Also Shard Squad have focused on bombing, whereas we are taking a more general approach to all weapons.

We are merely trying to contribute to the same cause, with some (hopefully) new ideas. Having fun is also a bonus.

After I re-read my post: Sorry if I sound a bit steamed there, honestly didn't mean to seem like that!

Well that's pretty great! The world needs more people who play to have fun, not to beat content as fast as possible.
