Thats an epic fail from my part. I'll redo the level. Its holidays here anyway and then I re-upload my entry. I'll then check to see if I can see the stats before I link it in a PM. Not making the same mistake twice.

However I will probably be disqualified for double entering the contest. The glass is half empty to today I think. Why? I took me 8 hours to get a flawless run of the level. I restarted after every few hours so my film would not be more than 10 mb.

Today all the same over again. And its not even my own fault that the stats didnt show up.
Imagine that happening on The Ark!?!? Is this even worth the trouble?

Sigh..... Reboot and Retry,
or maybe some Baldur's Gate 2, back to when gaming was about fun instead of stats and bragging rights.

The Scarab is the toughest part of the mission. Always go for the crane on the left and make sure you're armed with a BR, Plasma Pistol, and stickies. The Scarab will always venture over to your crane and get close enough for you to jump on. But if you wait too long, it will position itself so it can back up if you try to jump on. I still say you should watch 2.0 for a quick lesson on how to defeat the Scarab.


Stuff that! Go for the tower in the middle with a Grav Lift. It never fails! ... Except for when it does... -cough- Splattered by Scarab whilst boarding -cough-

I'll have my Storm run done ASAP. Atm I can't steal the internet and main tv (what I have to go through, everytime). Should be able to do it on Wednesday, or Tuesday depending where you are.
Speaking of which, where in the 2.0 guide do you position the Warthog in the first room? Or, preferebly, any hints on how to pull off Gazas rush for that area? Looks fun ^^

Sweet Battle-Royale before though guys. Was hilarious.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

What the hell right. I got back up to facing the scarab again i was hiding inside waiting fot it to kill my so no-one would skank my missile pod and it shot me through the window/wall and killed me
You mean the little room? Yeah, it can shoot through the windows, and the shots (I believe) also set off all the grenades in that room. Boom. I like to toss all the frags out of the room just to be safe, and when avoiding the Scarab, stay behind the pillars on either side. However, be warned that the AA gun on the Scarab does splash damage through the pillar if you stand right next to it, so keep away from it.
: (

It's best if you have shields when you enter that area, but quite frankly, the missile pod method is... Long, and because it's long, it means you're more likely to make a mistake, or something random happen. I'd use the 2.0 method if I were you, it's probably much safer.

Having to do The Storm a second time on Mythic was nasty. Im glad I got it done again. Now it does have the view game option in the file share. My advice: DO NOT do anything that costs additional bandwith during your playthrough. I was in a party and took some breaks and changed my profile to Busy.

Somehow it glitched the film. The post game stats werent viewable anymore, but the film does show in fact that all the gold skulls are on at the very end. The silver skulls are never mentioned in the post game scoring (last second of film) but are noticable viewing the film. That some glitch like that means you have to redo the level drove me mad. My opinion is that at the end of the film it shows your score and thus the gold skulls and the silver skulls are well noticeable. I changed the concerning film in my fileshare to "The Storm Invld".

Anyway I redid the level anyway. And hereby I present to you my fellow brethren a tip:
The scarab, hard? Use the rocket pod as usual to blow of the back end of the Scarab, then go up onto the crane, get the sniper rifle, reload. return to the lower room. Shoot the core's shield. 3 or 4 shots should do it.

One question. Do you give the link to your film file (just the file), or your post game carnage report (the one with the skull screen and kill tabs). If just been sending em both since week one. Argh...there are so many ways you can get disqualified even if you read the rules.

And why arent the winners announced so everyone can see they earned it. How do we know now that the person who won really is random?

Oh and Tyrant... Please dont disqualify me from the contest for sending you two messages containing links. That would be heartbreaking after playing it twice.

Thank you and I hope any you dont have to redo the levels.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

1) Your entry is fine. Nicely done.

2) You only need to give a link to the film in your file share. It will be the only one I click. Then I will click on the stats attached to the film.

3) Why do I not announce the winners? The same reason Bungie doesn't. To protect their identity to help prevent their account from being hacked, and also to help avoid having them get spammed by messages and friend requests. There's no reason you need to know. Therefore, there is no point in giving the info to the pubic.

*sigh* I was at the part where you start shooting the AA gun with the turret...then Arbiter decides to shoot me with a rocket.

Hoping that should be public.

Anyway, Now I've done my The Storm for the competition this week. I'll try and set a new time.

Feet first into heck!!!

Hay everyone, I am looking for a partner for a partner to do Multi-Mythic with me. I have alerady sent messages to everyone who has already completed Mythic on their own, (aside from Tyrant and Vincent because they have already done it and not to you either DarkDevistation, because our connection is bad) but anyway, if i find a suitable partner to do this with, we just might be the second dynamic duo to complet Multi-Mythic.

And also, anyone else who fits my requirements is welcome to join me.

*Requirements*
1.) You must have already have completed AT LEAST Crowsnest, The Covenant, and yes... The Ark on Mythic on your own.
2.) You obviously must have enough time to dedicate to playing Mythic and be able to be online at whatever time we agree upon.
3.) You must have a good (lag free) connection to me. I live in Wisconsin ,USA so if you live in Europe, there will probably be lag on whoever isnt hosting's end.
4.) You have to have a headset so we can exchange tactical and valuable information though voice chat. And you have to speak enough English for us to be able to understand each other.
5.) You cannot be a prick. But I dont think that will be a problem. Mythic people are just too cool.

Dont be affraid to message me if you want in and you meet the requirements. Preferably on Bungi,net.

ODST Panda, I just looked through your file share and saw this. Your Mythic The Ark run has been rendered. I though the limit was 10minutes.

OK. This is getting weird. First Tyrant's Mythic videos start getting rendered one at a time, now it's ODST Panda's turn. Could someone at Bungie be treating these videos as helpful to the community and therefore putting them through an advanced render system similar to the advanced Forge system Bungie has allowing them to remove Shield Doors on Epitaph and Snowbound etc?
Regardless of how it happened it's cool. Has any other conqueror been affected yet? *Checks list of conquerors in Q4M and their file shares*

EDIT: Vincent's hour long run of The Storm on CLASO with Tyrant is rendered.
Starocean Zero's Crow's Nest run is currently rendering.
After checking every conqueror's file share those are the only renders I could find apart from Tyrant's three. Pahat also had Floodgate rendered, but I'm pretty sure I remember someone else (muzza?) rendering it for use on youtube or something similar.

I'm a great guy really.

Maybe campaign films don't have a render limit, or this is a glitch. Exploit now :D

I'll try it, but I can't see it working since such a small selection of people are the only ones affected.

Welcome back from your brief holiday. On topic: just tried to render my own films and it still says there's a 10 minute limit. I'm sure a superuser or a member of the webteam is involved here somewhere. Or it's an awesome glitch.

Thanks.
The members of the webteam dig Mythic, that's all!

Check this out, playing The Ark-The Covenant on Heroic. Managed to my ODST alive from the beginning of The Ark, all the way to the end of The Ark, to the beginning of The Covenant all the the way to the end. (citadel). I gave them all names and personalities too, like the ODSTs in H3:ODST. =)

  • 06.28.2009 5:29 PM PDT

Well, I would like to put a signature here, but I can't think of anything interesting and creative...?

I'm done being nice and answering stupid questions. If they can't read the rules, then they don't deserve to be in the challenge. And some complaints are ridiculous . Come on people... We're trying to have FUN playing Mythic, well, set aside the frustration.

We're trying to accomplish something. That's better.

EDIT:
Finished capturing Tyrant's 30 minute 2.0 "The Storm" run, and wow that was a lot of HD Gigabytes. The video parts will be posted somewhere for a forum, to help guide the noobies in defeating Mythic, such as myself. (Video can be played on a laptop or computer side by side with the player performing the mission, for easy help and a quick guidance)

Everyone knows Pahat, so its likley someone rendered Floodgate. Its only what, 4:11. Im sure someone somewhere else probably rendered it themselves.

  • 06.29.2009 12:09 AM PDT

WOOO!!!

I finally finished the Storm last night. I would lke to thank MATCLAN for all the help, Gazas for going through the level with me and Tyrant for giving me tips when in party chat the other night. (And the walkthrough of course!)

P.s- I think I set a world record for the worst time for the Storm ever.
The Storm. Time: 1:54:05 Aww well. Its done now anyway.

Time to PM my emtry to Tyrant.
