Score screens

I agree they can be anoyying (sisters/brothers/nard, :}, kidding nard ). But my kids actaully take me from the game when attention is needed. If my wife is home then I get nagged on when Im on. Blah blah, I usually pull my best scores on friday and saturday when my wife and kids are asleep and I don't have to feel bad about waking up. that is what I do most on the time when I play late during the week. Its in the back of my head atleast.

I didn't do that to be an ass honest....I know that god mode was engaged on wave 19 I believe I still think I would have got the same score and all I used was a loaded flak and you guessed it lightning rod and I agree with beast that the map needs to be crapcanned lagged, poor fps, just plain crappy but I got my high score on it so woo! If you guys believe I shouldn't hold that score as the server high score I will be alright with it besides with the new patch I haven't seen anyone go over 7k


and Ortega you spoil me with your words

actually, mainstrain, the third trial map after the very first new update (assault rifles still in effect and major ghost/weapon loss issues), on 1-on-1 shrine, i scored just barely over 15,000. the first map won with the update too! i tried to grab screenshot, and when i copied it into paint, nothing at all showed up but the map graphics..no names, no table of names/scores, nothing. i went back into game and the map was already changing :{

i got lightning rod and used it wave 8, but the damn thing ran out near the end of 9 since it drains so much faster now. i started with flak +20 (from rejuv) and used razor on it and starting wave 16 i summoned ak47. i put +8 damage, 3 rages, and 8 energy on it. wave 17 i got lightning rod again and started it up right away. it lasted the entire time thereafter. on wave 19 i got enhanced triple damage, and started it up a minute after wave 20 started and had both going at once. i gained nearly 6k on wave 20 from that, but i wand-died. paintball finished the map with very good particle gun shooting in the best spot he could have hidden. he, knave, and a couple others knew my efforts! but i guess i did so well too since only 6-8 were playing the whole map and majority of the latter waves all hid away while i went at it mostly in the open.

since then i have had a 9,300 score, and a 10,100 score, the latter being on stalwart with combat shotgun, axe and kurt both present there. lightning was used for each. i honestly don't know if i should post a score or not that is not "special." by that, i mean under very special conditions. i group two into lightning and non-lightning. and then one for very small and/or difficult maps. my highest non-lightning score was the 13k on skyscrapin, and my highest with lighting was 15.5k. the tunnel map score was very few people, but man was that one of the hardest i ever played on this server. and i did make a high score of mp5 under border's "no-lightning" thread here. i want to be in the 17k club with you and t-money :/ maybe someday i will!

Yeah main thats what I said in one of those posts, on that enclosed map, lrod is like guaranteed to give a ton of kills. You guys might not know this yet but the artifacts are now more balanced. The lrod uses twice the adrenaline now, and both runes use less, especially the fire rune. The enchanced lightning rod is still bloody useless as it lasts for only 20 seconds at the best. I was just playing a game at arcane temple, and It is the 1st 10k score I have seen since the patch. Wave 20 was absolutely insane, as joeyz brought back the whole "1000 monsters" thing although it was more like 500. I was using the ssr minigun +10 from rejuv and god a ice rune on wave 20, about 2/3 through everyone else was dead and there were literally 200 monsters in the map, all bunched up in 3 or 4 rooms. So I turned on the ice rune, which usually seems to run out fast but I was killing so much,,, and I dont know if the ice rune gives you vamp but it sure seemed like it as every time I got hit I went back to 650 hp instantly except when I got a direct hit from a rock and ghosted heheh. It was so sweet, just running around through all of them hearing the "holy shhht" go nuts and the "adrenaline" too. I woulda killeda bit more but the admins had summoned some monsters (the dragon) which was making it so the next wave started with monsters still alive, so there were still like 30 left when It ended.

oh goodness, yes t, the fire and ice runes are becoming better to use overall in packed situations and yielding better results than the lightning rod due to their lesser adrenaline drain, unlesss someone has a wand, lady or ak47 to go with the rod. fire rune is still rather weak overall, but in maps like that one today of the one big square room with a smaller square room on its four sides where you passed atlass ssr mini score using the fire rune..was one of the best places to use the fire rune. ice rune kills almost everything instantly, but it has one downfall i have noticed when using it. it is affected by rage. yes, i use rages as much as i can, but after ice rune is activated, health has dropped and stayed down to 70 when its used >,,< its greatness can't be denied though!

and just to add as little extra...the regular mini today allowed me to almost keep up with someone with a wand up through to wave 15, when they got a wand around wave 5. but it was one of those full powered shooters, +10 damage, 5 rage, vorpal, and propulsion. it still was rather weak compared to a similarly outfitted mp5, but hey, if one has little else with as many slots, its still something! cj gave me an ssr mini pu mid-wave 16, and i got to try the gun for the first time since its return ^,,^ i still think its a cheap weapon overall for how devastating it is to use without needing skill behind it. i do rather like the enhanced supershock too. wopped and powered up, it becomes a red wand essentially :}

i shall consider this one my highest score without the use of any artifacts after the update. i summoned a wand wave 4 and totally rocked with it! this was also the very first map in which joey had applied the new vortex lucifer. it spawns any time waves 15-20 i believe. this map it spawned thrice. once in 17, twice in 20. it also has the probability to shoot a second vortex 20-30 seconds after it shoots the first, but not always. grrr..this is what screwed the level of achievement i could have had in the next post.

no artifacts, not even a damage related one which i was so hoping to use to get a greater score with. also, most people had good weps too, for the weps chest was opened around wave 6. i also scored 8600 like 20 mins before i posted this with a lady on the dust map, also no artifacts. it can be done! lady allows for rages to be put on now by the way, to increase its power without harming the user. it also vamps too.

this particular score will help to prove a few things that are still possible, but under the right conditions. i started with mp5 and collected pus i would be using to make a flak, since this open level would require something better if i was not able to summon a great weapon. it seems everyone got to try a summon pu this map but me >,,< i didn't even get one.

i created a flak of razor bomb, +8 damage, 3 rages, heal, infs, protection 5, and +6 energy. thats all i could do with it and i really was wary of suiciding multiple times to increase slots by purpling since on the map previous, someone suicided and lost everything. so i did it once to get a gold back in case i actually may have summoned something better in the time. i started using this wave 7 since mp5 and nalis/smiths are not a good combination usually. i was doing fantastic. one wave 14 i picked up a lighthing inches behind kurt, and quickly snagged it before he could get it ;} i also somehow got a super adrenaline pill ibefore wave 18.

wave 18, i fought for a bit until the enemy density increased, and started lightning. i was burning through it all very well, with minimal times needing to worry about adrenaline level since the spiders offer a ton of it, and effigies offer a fair bit too. wave 19 i started with about 80 energy after the 10 seconds countdown was wasting so much of it so fast. i was ready to use the super adrenaline but after a few minutes my adrenaline started to climb up and up until it was above 150 most of the time (my adrenaline is 200). then the last two monsters took a moment to find and when wave 20 started, i was down to 50 adrenaline. i was not taking and chances used the super adrenaline to replenish it. the wave went great for some time for me, even though half died in the first few minutes. then as i thought i was going to win this, one vortex appears..then a minute after as i hover at the opposite end, another freaking appears right by me. i was caught, ghosted 5 freaking feet, and then died.

i captured a score screen right away in case i had problems like i do at times, including that 15k score i mentioned a few posts ago that noone believes except paintball, knave, or the others who were there at that map -,,- the map ended poorly, because bigmeat got caught in an eternal ghost and could not be found. i then tried to get a stats screen before things were voted out or changed. you can see i got it at just the last second.

in summary..look at this score with no super weapon of total instant killing chaos helping out! and lightning CAN be kept up in the right maps with the proper damage and adrenaline for 3 waves time.

rawr! ^o^

I wish I could run on high res without my comp laggin' =/

[draegohn]

bleh, i remember that map, mainstrain. you and beo with ssr minis was a sight to see on such a map, albeit annoying that so much blue in the face and being pushed around before sturdy was acquired was making things hard to shoot at!

ssr mini is fun, effective, and wonderful. but its a total slack weapon that requires nothing but shoot and hope to obliterate everything before another with using something less powerful who is using actual skill can get it its way too easy to acquire i think, i see one or two every single map. and yet, how..i never once had the pu in posession. is it magic pu-obtainable only..or do monsters release one?
