Good morning,
We “met” last night in the Vanduul Swarm Co-Op arena. And…you know?…it’s been a while since I’ve been able to start the Vanduul Swarm at the beginning, and work my way up the ladder. So, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say how much I enjoyed your company last night doing just that.
I took the liberty of looking each of you up on the leaderboards, and I must say, I am impressed! Now, I have no idea how accurate the leaderboards are. But for the majority, it seemed it was your first time in the Vanduul Swarm Co-Op arena? Now I know those boards reset all the time, not to mention that you all may have multiple accounts. But if this was your first time through, congratulations! I thought we all did great!
But regardless whether you’re an eager rookie or grizzled veteran, I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. I hope we get to meet again, and next time maybe we can take it all the way to the bitter end!
(Frankly, I found myself very much alone on wave fourteen. I used every trick I know, only to get shot to pieces. It was brutal. Apparently, I need all the help I can get!)
See ‘ya around the ‘verse!
Peace,
GreyMan
Wave 1
“Starting at the beginning. And we have a gentleman, Anlon. And SteveSpaz. SteveSpaz seems to be in a Gladuis. Anlon seems to be in a Mustang. Wave 1.”
GreyMan: Good evening. Good hunting!
“Although I have to admit I don’t know if that thing is working.”
Wave 6
“SteveSpaz was killed in wave six, but he came back and got The Priest. So, good for him!
“dghost died? I didn’t know there was a dghost to die.”
Wave 7
It’s wave seven, and apparently somebody else is here. Aaaaa...here is our dghost323. He’s in a Hornet.
Wave 8
“Anlon died.
“Looks like Anlon’s back...with a vengeance!”
Wave 10
“We have a new guy. He’s in a Hornet. vincent_caldair. And he’s serious about it. Because we are in wave ten, and he just killed a guy with...like a...three missiles.
“And I’m watching the world’s luckiest Vanduul Hunter. It is wave ten, we’ve got three guys on him, and they’re even firing missiles at him. But they couldn’t hit him.
“They got him now, though.”
Wave 12
“Wave twelve. And quite a few of us bit it, including me. SpeveSpaz...and... someone else.”
“It may be just me and Vincent left.”
Wave 13
“Several of us have died and come back. I’m not sure who’s left.”
Wave 14
“Wave fourteen. I think it’s just me and Vincent.
“Vincent got killed. It was just me. I was heading for some cover, and I think I got hit by a missile. They fired three of them.
“Wave fourteen. I think I’m it. I’m hiding behind a rock. See if I can break them up a little. Here’s hoping!
“Well, I was it. I played around the asteroids for as long as I could. I came out, I tried to attack one of them. But they had still stayed together. So...ended up with a lot of missiles at me. And didn’t last long at all.
“although the game did. It was fifty-four minutes.”
Conclusion
I shouldn’t have been in such a hurry to engage so many of them at the same time when I had cover. That’s what I get for being hurried by Jannie and Isabella. Still, the lure of Braum’s is overpowering!
