Am I allowed to, in this subreddit, like request a song to be mapped? Because I myself can’t map them. Especially if it’s an underrated/underknown song, I know for a fact it’s never going to get mapped without this. And if I do request a song to be mapped, is it likely that anybody would even do it?
I know a lot of people think this badge is a bit stupid, because Honcho is still a bit unreliable to spawn. But I personally think Star Employee is THE PERFECT challenge badge. The best way to make one. In my opinion, a challenge badge should be a good mix of time, skill, and knowledge. Things like A Hard Place are almost entirely skill with a medium amount of time used, while A-1000 was a TON of time used and a moderate amount of skill used.
So lemme get to how Star Employee does this all perfectly. First off, you gotta beat the backdoor. Not terrible, 10 minutes of a bit of luck and skill. Nothing bad there. But the problem with this is that you have to prepare ahead of time and rift lockpicks, because you’re not guaranteed to get 2 naturally. I actually made this mistake and had to do a second hotel run after rifting my bottle. Then make it past figure, so prolly like 15-20 minutes, again nothing terrible. Then beat however much of the archives necessary, usually about 2/5 of the way through it. Another probably 20 minutes added. Then, you have beat Honcho’s encounter with essentially zero major mistakes, which I think is a pretty balanced thing. If you know what you’re doing, it’s no problem, but obviously newer or less skilled players won’t be able to do this.
And that’s it. I genuinely think this badge is the perfect way to create a challenge badge, with a great mix of time, skill, and knowledge. It’s not super tedious and annoying to do, it’s not ridiculously difficult and unfair like AHP can be, but it still requires a lot of game knowledge and determination to do it
I recently made the mistake of searching the word tech in modded, and I was only met with ridiculous unfair spam songs with no real possible way to win. I want you guys to recommend me good tech mapping songs, probably in the 10-12 star range. They can’t be vivify though because standalone doesn’t have it.
With no malware! Hooray
Song: Sail Away by Teminite
I strongly believe that Groundskeeper Sonny is the physical embodiment of Curious Light. The more you look into it, the more the pieces just line up.
For one, he is the only entity in the ENTIRETY of Doors that can both kill you and save you. He is the only neutral entity in the entire game. He won’t hesitate to off you if you step on the grass and risk carrying the influence of the World Lotus with you, but he also saves you on multiple occasions.
He will slice mandrakes that attack you, and not just to save you, but because he doesn’t want to risk having a World Lotus-controlled plant around. He will point out monument mimics, which implies that he can tell the difference, even when there is no visible difference. And finally, he kills both bosses in the Great Outdoors. It’s safe to say he wins the fight with Bramble, because if you escape into the mines from the G.O, the vines that are usually hanging into Jeff’s shop room are no longer there, meaning the World Lotus’ influence on the plants around you is no longer active.
Now that we know his character, let’s look at some of the hints from the world around the player. This is where the biggest support for my theory is present. In the cabins in the G.O, there are paintings. There is one that depicts the symbol for Curious Light titled “Me”. If C.L. has paintings of himself, why would they only be in one subfloor? Because that subfloor is where Grounskeeper Sonny resides. “Ok, that’s a one off thing. Surely there aren’t other lore-filled paintings, right?” Wrong. There is also a painting called “Lookman” that shows, well, Lookman. Originally people thought the paintings in the cabins were made by Sally because of their crude nature and scribbles, but how would Sally know what Lookman looks like? How would she know him by name? Curious light being Sonny here makes the most sense because C.L. has control over every subfloor, and Sally only roams the hotel.
Not only this, but if Sonny made the paintings and he wasn’t Curious Light, why would some of the paintings depict entities from other subfloors? Not all of the paintings are like this, some are just random things such as a forest, but all of them have the same crude art style and basic titling, implying the were all made by the same person/thing.
And if all that wasn’t enough evidence already, Sonny’s eye lights just so happen to be the exact shade of yellow that Curious Light is identified with. This point alone wouldn’t mean much, but on top of everything else it just ties the whole story together.
I’m sure I missed some extra details, and maybe somebody has already thought of this. Does anybody else have any ideas or extra information that could support/reject this theory?
Edit: I forgot to mention that Sonny can teleport to any shed with a scythe that he wants to, further showing that he has a type of magic or power over the subfloor.
Force choke in this game is actually such a cheat code. The reason Dooku isn’t higher, even though he has it, is because his main saber combo and his falling attack suck. For a duelist, he’s good, but against more than one hero he falls quickly. I know some of my lower ranks are pretty controversial, but I do believe yoda is by far the worst hero in the game. And for anyone who thinks Luke or Obi Wan should be higher… Obi wan is literally the same moveset as Anakin but without force choke. Good base, but no strong abilities to back it up. But Luke is just… awkward. Bad saber attacks and average force abilities just make him OK
Anakin and Vader are pretty interchangeable, I personally like Anakin more because of his saber combo, but I would understand liking Vader more for his speed and run attack. Both of them are completely capable of downing entire groups of heroes by themselves, putting both versions of Anakin on one team was actually a busted thing to do lol
Grievous I do believe has the fastest dps, and his combo absolutely knocks heroes to the ground, allowing you to just pummel them continuously. He is great at attacking multiple heroes at once, and while his damage boost ability isn’t great, his sheer damage potentential, dueling capability, and self preservation in an otherwise unfair amount of enemies is impressive. He is not higher because he has no double jump, and his run attack isn’t super amazing. Lack of force abilities (just like in the movies lol) make his potential cap out lower than the Anakins
Kit fisto’s icon (if it was here) would be highest in A tier because force orb is genuinely insane, but again, no force choke. His saber combo is strange, but is quite good if you can get used to it. His falling attack is like Mace’s but better as well.
Mundi is probably the most underrated one here, his run attack is actually so busted. He will do essentially a lightsaber somersault, doing an unreasonably high amount of damage per hit, and the ability will repeat indefinitely (until you run out of stamina) if you just keep hitting the attack button. Can easily clear entire groups of heroes, but again the lack of dueling and preservation potential that force choke gives keeps him out of S tier.
Ventress is an odd one, but she can hold her own against groups of heroes with the shurikens if used correctly. I personally think she should’ve had a force choke, because she’s seen using it a lot in The Clone Wars show, but that might just be me. She’s only in a middle tier because her dueling potential isn’t super amazing and her saber damage isn’t very high
I don’t really have to explain why Maul and Aayla are so high, just know that they would be in top tier if they had force choke.
I have only been playing this game for 2 days, and have not seen a score from anybody else even close to this, so I came here to see if it’s truly that high. Backstory:
So I, for so long, only played the original (2005) BF2, since I tried the EA version on launch and was disappointed, but came back to it after years and tried to learn the game. On my second day, I discovered that good ol’ Palpy is a bit broken for crowd control. Especially in Tattoine defense last point, where the enemy only has one entrance, and Palpatine is easily capable of soloing the entire AI enemy team by himself. Thought I’d share this score considering I got it on only my second day of playing
