How about a Time Trials for TPS
#2

But… that’s the most efficient way against the shock resistant phase of the sentinel!

#3

You can still use RL outside FFYL. Just don’t spam them. Take your time.

#4

Aight, I’d like to submit my Athena vs EOS/Eclipse then. Something 3:35 min I think

PS: Also add a rule that Aurelia might not pre-stack Avalanche maybe?

#5

The actual time is 3:39 so nicely done. Avalanche will be added to the no pre-stacking. Thank you.

#6

Got a sentinel kill in 2:50 min with Athena I think. (0:52 to 3:45, too lazy to calc…) still encoding and uploading.

You may want to add, that it’s okay to trigger a certain glitch on your glitch gun beforehand.
Also, what about Jack pre-stacking collaborate? Claptrap prestacking Load’n’Splode? Nisha prestacking Order?

#7

I am not getting rid of all pre-stacking, if they become an issue then I will look into it but I really don’t think they will become an issue. Figure out the times before posting, it makes it easier.

#8

##Athena vs Raidboss, 2:53 min

##Athena and Wilhelm vs Bosun, 15s and 20s?


Just using my regular builds.

#9

RK-5 times are not allowed. You have to show the whole fight until the health bar completely disappears. Sorry.

#10

Ah, my bad. I thought it just needed to be empty.

#11

Ahha. Hence why my time is 26 seconds.

#12

Well, here’s some more entries for now.

##Nisha vs Clapboss
4:17min

##Nisha vs Raidboss
4 min cause I suck at the first phase. I always do, at any boss.

##Wilhelm and Aurelia vs RK5
30s and 32s

#13

All times are accepted except Nisha vs Eclipse and EOS. That was RL spam :stuck_out_tongue:

#14

Alright, but wouldn’t that RL part of my Athena vs Raid Boss kill be considered RL spam, too, by that standard?

#15

I must of missed that, but yes that is RL spamming. Thank you for being honest.

#16

no probs. I don’t see the problem with rocket spamming though, it’s within each classes’ toolset.

#17

I don’t get it either.With the spammiest RLs gone (Norfleet,Topneaa) I don’t see how it’s worse than 11/5 AA Jakobs Quad or 999 Maelstorm Storm Weaving Development spam :confused:

Other than that,great runs by you,Ha_Na.

#18

Thanks. Maybe we could define redefine RL spamming as in “self-replenishing rockets via the sham is banned” instead?

#19

They are because people abuse them; Badaboom/Maelstrom, Mongol/Tombstone. The rules on RL spamming are staying.

#20

Same goes for anything with high ammo consumtion/Maelstorm/Flakker/Tombstone.

I don’t see why ban entire weapon type.
