Survival: Happiness Home Server Firsts

Here's another Round 10 video. I know Rokyn posted this run already, but here it is from a Gadgets DPS PoV (not a very good one though, I kept messing up my rotation ). Anyway, enjoy!

R12 beat by Select Few



We suck at taking pictures lol

Great job to you guys and PWNY PS over at EUPC. Shows that its not impossible to continue on in the current SM. I'm sure it took a lot of fustration and attempts but thats what makes you stronger individually as players and as a team. Totally achievable. Not sure why people have been complaining about the "cheap mechanic". Everything has a learning curve. And like our friend Dru saids, though quite annoying, SM is content at its most challenging. Its not for everyone to beat. Hell, I know its not for me personally.

Great job to Singularity, not Pwny

Completely forgot to post like quite a while ago, we got new Round 11 server firsts for USPC. I myself forgot to take a screenshot but I am sure someone from solo elite probably has one. Apologies I have misspelled any names I really should of taken a screenshot lol.

Congrats you guys a job well done.

Oh my bad. I get those leagues mixed up. I'll just call yall the EU guys lol. All the same to me.

Allright, it's time for Daddy to share his ever so valuable feedback concerning Survival Mode > Happiness Home:

Firstly, I absolutely love the Laser Mechanic in this SM. Frankly and Realistically speaking, I'm certain all the Elite & Competen(t) participants of this SM are aiming to get the almighty Round 15 Checkpoint. I really don't see anyone beating this Survival Mode with both these Lasers AND immensely powerful Bosses out there. Batwoman & Stompa at R18 will make sure of that (I won't even BEGIN to fathom that Round).

The first 2 points from Loche in the above quote couldn't be anymore True. As you will see in the below R11 USPC Server First Video, there is certainly a method which CAN be used to avoid the lasers the MAJORITY of the time.

Additionally, Super-Speed and Acrobatics users have a HUGE advantage in these Higher Rounds with the lasers in that these players can crawl up the wall and avoid danger AND they move FASTER than Flyers when it comes to Picking People up. If you are Flight, I strongly recommend you start farming those Super Speed Exobits in Central City so you can get Super Speed for this SM. That Drone which constantly grounds you in this SM has made your Flying capabilities absolutely worthless.

Trust me, I am a die hard Flyer myself, so I can understand any resistance to changing from Flight/Skimming. Luckily for me, I have the Joker's Jet-pack, so I always have the OPTION to Fly whenever necessary. But if you aren't so lucky, then you need to find a way to go Super Speed or Acrobatics for this SM. I can assure you, your performance and survivability will both increase GREATLY!



In Conclusion > The race is on to get the ALMIGHTY R15 Progress Point. Any group who captures that Progress Point is sitting in a VERY comfortable Throne. My people and I are definitely after it and I'm certain my fellow Elite & Competen(t) SM players in the other Servers are already working hard while I'm wasting time typing this post.

I'll leave the below Video as a refresher for everyone to see all the Bosses from R1-R10. This way, you know who you will be facing throughout R11-R20 (I'm still dreading Batwoman & Stompa )

P.S > Credit goes to my good sir: Skeptikraze

As always > Stay Competent my fellow Survival Mode Friends!

Eh, there's a difference between saying it's impossible and saying it's obnoxious and stupid spending a few hours with the camera zoomed up my toon's butt because I'm playing up against the wall the whole time.

I'll give you that...there is a difference. But the way I interpreted the feedback on the other thread was the it was super difficult and cheap. I mean, I find most tactics and mechanics annoying as well but you gotta do what you need to do in order to succeed. I don't think that should drive you away from the challenge though, I know I will fail a lot but hey at least I gave it my all, you know?

I feel like you're not doing it correctly if you got a camara zoomed up your butt.

.

It is cheap. SM went from being the game's best test of how well eight people can play their roles together against increasingly difficult opponents, to the point where the math on how hard tanks can get hit, healers can heal and trolls and DPS can pump power and damage quickly enough, reached a mathematical limit. It was about pickups and positioning and cooperation.

Now it's "stand by the wall, jump on the wall when the lasers come, hope one doesn't spawn on you or a pickup."

Lame.

Yeah, it is kinda lame. In one of our runs the other day.. I was waiting on adds. Admittedly didn't have a shield up.. but I was in block. Laser spawned under feet. Oneshot. Watched the video a few times. Be darned if I can see a tell for it.

It is looking like the tell was too short. I have upped its time. This is on PCTest right now and should be in the next hotfix to live.

Thanks for this, our experience was that in some cases there was virtually no tell. Like, you knew the laser was on you, but in that fraction of a second between seeing it and reacting to it, you were already dead, and then it's off to the races.

That's what we're here for Mepps! Any additional creative tricks we see that can be used, you know more Videos will be coming for everyone to see.

See you at Round 15!

You are so full of yourself Dru. You're not actively looking for exploits to help the Devs. You're exploiting just to be "Server First". Hyperlok stated that it's a "tactic" to advance through SM. I'm pretty sure exploit != tactic.

"Creative tricks"

LOL

In the "good old times", the exploiters were more shy they didnt brag about it !
