Episode 5 killed the game

[Kondibon]

Ha... I really do suck, don't I?

Only as much as you think you do.

Even with Hero, still can't win that bitch Phaleg, due to my rush b mindset.

use cheap tactics, like getting so high, so she won't reach you.

Surprisingly, the bolded part is usually what ends up killing mine. Especially since I'm always aiming to clear out the more obvious threats (like the laser towers, bombs, leech flowers, salamanders and golems) - which I seem to be the only one to place urgency on the aforementioned items.

Also, if the Castle turns into the Rare Castles (Misile and/or Dohr), my experience is usually that we're going to lose a tower - the difficulty seems to upgrade itself if they're the Castle we fight.

As someone who was in one of those MPAs with you the other day....yeaaaah, people really tunnel vision on enemies in front of them too much and fail to check the minimap. Or at least it seems that way.

I would agree that the Misile tower is harder. This is the first time I've seen Golems actually running...

She will reach you. I remember trying with talis and she zipped up and took me down. You can probably stay up with Massive Hunter ring but you'd be too high up to land attacks at that point.

I thought I recognized you in that run. I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure if that was ACTUALLY you (or rather, I didn't know if it was you or Vin that run), but I figured you were probably pulling your hair out in frustration over the level of bad in that MPA (because I sure as hell saw that - even if I WAS too busy trying to save the bases/kill the Golem).

That said, Defense-style missions are my bane - always have been, always fuckin' will be.

I was gonna say the first part, but then you sniped me. Dahm you!

[Tunga]

I don't even have access to that phaleg, cause screw eps 4. I'm worse than you both.

I never finished ep1, 2 or 3 lmao.
[I]inb4 someone gets triggered[/I]

[Vatallus]

I'm triggered.

I think the bigger issue in Rank 3 BQs is that people sometimes don't make the towers a priority in defend phases. Those things? They'll fuck up your towers faster than a 16-year-old sneaking someone's viagra.

For the large hordes that come running in, I see so many people use an attack loadout, but never fire the damn laser cannons at all. There will be 8 cannons on the field, not a single one gets used because "mah deeps!" or some other stupid thing. So long as we have a blast or two for the final assault feel free to go hog wild with those things.

I usually run a defensive set when I'm in charge of a tower if only because having two walls I can throw up that will stop everything short of those reaper-looking guys a minimum of four times is extremely handy, as well as the telepipe cannon for the final assault to cross the field quick. See a horde coming, toss up a wall, let them run into it, dive through them and go nuts on their backs (which is the weak point if they're the cavalry or the minotaurs.)

See, I'm the opposite; I love defensive missions, so I don't particularly dislike mini TDs. But a lot of people are really bad at them. Can't necessarily blame them because of how this game sets itself and its players up, but its really annoying to finally get to rank 3, then immediately get punted back out because of that run. It also doesn't help that I was on Hal and she's a Ranger/Hunter. Its just hard to keep up on most classes that aren't Hero. [That and I just don't have the time or energy to keep up on the gear of six characters anymore.]
