Got something like 26600 heal points. Just by doing what I always do: Heal everyone. Medic's not hard once you get down the basics, folks!

In a single round!

It took about 30 minutes...

Team Fortress 2.

Medic and Spy seem to be the two classes which everyone is stupid at for some reason. I am proud, son.

[Egan_BW]

I never managed to stop being stupid with spy. >.>

[itisnotlogical]

Sometimes I get extremely overconfident as a spy when I manage to sap a single undefended sentry way out-of-the-way.

I'm much better as an Engi (last time I played, several months ago). Plonk a turret, poke out occasionally to upgrade it, stay out of the line of fire. Lets me contribute while minimizing my exposure to the enemy team.

I figured out how to use one of the most useless weapons in the game.  The plasma grenade.

See, you might be thinking to yourself, "I've played halo, plasma grenades are easy."  Nah, in this game, plasma grenades are like impact detonated normal grenades that can blow up a house.  Except, they travel the path that a normal grenade would take, but very, very slowly.  Like, 10 year old who didn't do his homework walking to school slowly.  If thrown like a sane person, any target (including a large mass of aliens) will be gone by the time the grenade arrives.  They're used by a flying class, and their schtick is that unlike other weapons, they aren't powered by the jetpack energy bar.  And of course, the game's already wonky grenade code becomes almost unusable when flying.

But I've made it work.  What I do is, fly above and a little in front of the target, and hover in place.  Then I begin descending, drop the grenade straight down (which requires holding the throw button for a bit because I don't know), and then rapidly pull up from the descent before i get caught in the blast radius.  Its suicidal, and it uses energy so it kinda ruins the point of the weapon, but man is it fun.

Soloed the last boss of a dungeon. Whole group died because they didn't notice that standing outside very specific spots was very, very lethal. Also they weren't that good at attacking while running around like crazy. Thanks to my insistence to grab as much self-healing as I could, I managed to hold my own and kill the damn thing by my lonesome.

EDIT: Apparently I gained an achievement for dungeon healing while at it, it seems.

I think the whole idea is that you are supposed to use your own velocity attained through flying to aim and throw your grenade a reasonable distance, but yeah, it's funky.

So the game pretty much lets you be a kawaii mecha-girl plasma bomber?

Linux port(or DX11 support for vmware) when?

I was tasked with destroying a flying transport, basically a giant UFO that drops giant ants into cities.  I'm in a suit of power armor, with dual wielded ranged weapons and then a futuristic shield + spear combo.  I dash under the transport when its hatch opens, exposing its weak spot, and try to switch to my ranged weapons.  But you can't switch during the dash animation, so instead I swing my spear at this thing high in the sky.  I try to switch again, but fail, so I attack with the spear again.

...the UFO then falls out of the sky in a huge explosion.  Apparently this game and me have *very* different ideas of what constitutes a melee weapon.

EDF 4.1  The spear has a two attack combo with a much longer second attack, but I didn't realize just how much longer it was.

My low FPS (I'm a cheap bastard) means that the classes I perform best at are Engi and Medic.

Medic I wind up playing the most at b/c no-one else takes the job on pub servers, and I do a good enough job that no-one asks me to switch classes.

[Silverthrone]

I encountered a Draugr boss. Their claymores can utterly pulverise you sometimes, and I didn't want to find out. So I ran circles around her, hopped on furniture, kited her around the stairs and slashed at her shins for about ten minutes. Didn't take a single hit.

I Errol Flynned her to death, basically. I can just imagine how the poor boss felt. I'm quite sure that the Draugr Wight Deathlord Scourgemaster Queen Trädgårdsslang the Malevolent died of exasperation. I know I'd be unhappy if a cat forced me out of bed and ran about stabbing me. Mind you, I really miss the Acrobatics skill, now...

Killed a drake. Bastard didn't want to die, took half an hour and multiple almost-party-wipes, but he was not being offered a choice.

Take that, you acid-spitting, minion shitting, cyst-covered whore of a boss!

Now I have to redo the whole damn level again so I can attempt the no-damage achievement for this boss.  :<

After an very long battle, I've killed that damn drake in the Devilwoods or whatever in the southwest. Dragonforged my stilettos apparently and managed to do it at only level 30 (I think anyway, I'm level 34 now). Probably the most annoying fight so far, but I can't let some loser dragon win even if I come back later to kick his ass.
