So is this one of those achievement threads then?

Cool! I got silver, gold, daunt, and cradle and all in one day like that too but did it back in 2012 and didn't dc.

If your wondering I dc'ed during a shadow lair because I alt tabbed then when I came back I could not open up the game so I had to force quit java.exe :( since then I have been wary of alt tabbing.

I got mine when SK hit 3 or 5m users, together with Zeddy. That's one of my fondest SK memories ever, fo' sure.

I remember getting my Dauntless Delver and Cradle and All achievement completed with Blitzter only after I realized that I had gone through a T2 run which turned into a FSC run in clockworks after the fact without a single death (before the mist was removed), gaining Gold Survivor. With that confidence booster, I braved the same type of clockworks gate to face off against the duke of Vans and therein gained it.

However, moments when I die due to a d/c are when I am at my best without even a scratch on my health, frozen frame around the corner, or failure in my concentration; In those times I logged back on upset as you can bet with all of my efforts undone.

And I thought Soarar would have had Cradle and All for some reason, unless his connection issues flare up again.

When i was going for dauntless, back in 2011, eye had to try multiple times as well, for the same reason. On my first attempt, was going through the depths without any problem, and then, I remember, on d21, was clearing a part of the map, one enemy left, then suddenly, BAMM, black screen >>> when I came back, I was disappointed to see that that one cinderbot I didn't kill finished me off. And after I revived, it only had a few hunder hp left, one DA hit, such a great time to freeze out...

But anywho, despite my crappy ex-pc, I needed to try like 3x only, got the achiev 2 months after arriving on Cradle. :)

PS.
Arkode, maybe I can tag along with you during a weekend 2 b ur guardian. ^^
But u can always just run across a gate, that takes just about an hour or so, especially on normal, *khm, easy-mode*.

When I almost had Dauntless Delver.

At first I had just been helping out a new player. I like helping noobies on missions and it's really fun to try and bring them as close to the Core as possible. In the Arcade of course. It just wouldn't work any other way.

We both got to tier 3 and then just after the 5th stratum, I remembered that I still hadn't died yet. The person I was helping wasn't doing too bad either so I figured if we can keep up at the same rate, we could both come out with good achievements. Cradle and All for him, Dauntless Delver for me!

We made it so close, but then it turned out I had to abruptly leave my computer for a while. That's the best description I can give. So I had to log off, leaving Dauntless and my goal of getting the noob to the Core behind. I still don't know if he made it by himself or not.

Later that week I tried again though. And what do you know, I got it! Yay!

The timing of SK servers is always against you.

Well, for me it's my RL timing. I get invited to free SL's from my friends, and my luck so has it my parents rip me away to, literally, massage their feet.

Atleast that's semi-understandable and I haven't been duped by the server, lolusuckerz

What do mean by "duped"? Like disconnected form server? How haven't you?
