@nessisonett @Quintumply The Hollowseaker can definitely be more quantity than quality but I've found it quite useful to stagger a large number of flying things when they start trying to power up on you. The carbine is awesome though, especially with that trait where it fires faster the longer you hold the trigger down. It's like it's gonna take off!

@render Haha, yeah. Rising Pitch I think it's called Don't get me wrong, the Hollowseeker can be seriously good with the right traits, like the serrated blades and the portal one. I suppose I could say that about any of the guns though. It really pays to experiment and unlock all the traits, there are some awesome combos you can find.

@velio84 And they definitely deserve it as well, they can totally ruin a good run finding bunch of those things.

@Abarth_71 Great work, are you going to try and beat the next one using a tea cup? 😀

@velio84 @render I've seen them pop up in Biome 3 as well but I'll take them over that drones any day haha.

Speed runners are now beating the game (from a fresh save) in under 1 hour lol

So, was sleeping in helios not intended to heal or did housemarquee decide they didnt like how people were approaching the first biome and they nerfed it by a substantial amount and to 1x per run? or both, or neither lol.

@Voltan I got a strange sense of confidence when I was playing Bloodborne by watching the speed runs on YouTube. If someone can beat the game that quickly and easily, I feel assured that even a commoner like me could beat it with a good deal of effort.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

@Th3solution That makes sense. Looks like IGN's going to do a "Devs react to speed runs" on this in a while and I'll definitely watch that.

They nerfed the hell out of it.

In the midst of a decent run on biome 4 at the moment, finally.
I can't believe people completed this only dieing a handful of times. Think I'm on double digit deaths just from falling off ledges...

I managed to get a score of 0 in today's challenge. They're pretty ridiculous in Tier 6.

@Voltan 😂 Haven't you finished the game, too?! So far, I've generally found the challenges easier than a run, but I'm only in biome 4.

Phew, after considering giving up after my first attempt at Nemesis a couple of days ago I just managed to nail a run and finish act 2.

The lobber is your friend people!

33 hours and 46 deaths, could be worse I guess.

@PossibLeigh A new tier of challenges is unlocked after each biome and you're only allowed to play the highest tier available, so... you know
Also it's not like I killed nothing in it, but I died early and it subtracted points for "missed rooms" and stuff
I finished Act 2 but trying to finish Act 3 now

@PossibLeigh The huge squiddy things that spit out 5 million bullets every few seconds, early in Biome 2, are testing that theory at the moment ... but I'll get them eventually

Ok, the Citadel is definitely harder than when I was there the 1st time

@PossibLeigh Yeah definitely loving the carbine still. Just took out Hyperion with it with the Rising pitch that we mentioned earlier. Love that battle, and even more the lead up to it where you are climbing up and the music is building. Brilliant stuff.

Didn’t get far into 5 though before going into the star room and finding it a bit overwhelming.

@Voltan I didn’t realise that’s how the challenges worked, I just thought everyone was in the same one. No wonder I managed 195th in one the other day. I thought I’d somehow become awesome at this game 🤣

Ok, so no progress on Act 3 today. Some progres on collectibles though so at least it wasn't a total waste
