Idk if u can find a gamer with a node left for Lightblade but if u could, I'd highly suggest a solo set up using suppressing glaive Omnioculus and stylish executioner. Maybe along with energy vampirism mod and special finisher finders scav. The glaive is honestly reliable compared to tether deadfall etc cuz u can reapply if first shot didn't work. Also the shield is so good for going toe to toe with hive guardians. Enigma Glaive with explosive pl scout and anarchy or prospector or hothead or Europa precision arc rocket Queen breaker etc.

Like i'm not that good at it, but I could probably finish the original Super Mario Bros in the time it takes to gets to the boss once, probably even twice.

[@ZerosLegacy21]

Watching curse thralls teleport into an insta-kill, tethers not doing anything... When core mechanics constantly break, I don't understand why anyone would play something as punishing as a GM. You can perfectly plan around every possible enemy attack and movement option on every encounter. And it's rng whether something as simple as enemy movement breaks entirely.

Should have used the overshield on finish mod so you're invis till you start the finish, then have an overshield so powerful while doing the finish that you can tank multiple direct hits from an anti barrier plus thrall melees then go immediately back invis when finish is over. This mod allowed me to go finish stuff no matter what was surrounding it and I never died doing it. It also allows you to get a finish on any enemy to instantly refresh your health or survive if you're about to die as the OS is instant as well. It saved me many times in boss room when the boss started shooting. I tried to keep an add finishable around me at all times, including cursed thralls as they don't explode when finished(explorer Shanks either). You can tank the entire barrage of boss shots during the time your visible doing the finish.

For the emote cheese, you have to use emotes that brings your head forwards or backwards, and clip it into the boat. Once you're in there, enemies will no longer shoot at you. Just note that because moving platforms are whack in this game, sometimes you get pushed out for no reason, and the shriekers will likely instantly kill you the moment your head pops out of the wall

[@kofeyh]

Ah yes - the GM experience - teleporting AI (because pathing is hard) prescient AI (hitscan is a hell of a drug) impervious AI (they are only suppressed if they feel like it) projectiles that don't believe in physics and turn before hitting anything (conservation of momentum is fake news) and of course, the ever present existential panic that is silent AI spawns on your position (who needs a spawn area when 'at the player' is just so much more exciting). I get that certain actions are programmed sequences and cancelling an animation is pain from a programming perspective. However the number of things that telegraph an action is very tiny versus the things that just 'happen' without a consistent cause/ reason and do not.

[@herny2991]

Wow those were some damned good attempts. One thing I noticed, though, is that finishing those fellas at the start looked like it caused you a lot of strife. I would suggest tossing a smoke right before you finish so you can go invis right after you start the finisher. If you can get your timing right, it works like a charm. You can just finish whatever you want right in front of your enemies. It might take a bit of practice to get really comfortable with this strategy, but it seems like a time commitment wouldn't keep you from doing anything lol.
