1. I just used Haxl to make a completely offense based build 2. All my slots have expensive offense increasing items 3. My computer did not slow down at all 4. I picked the easiest forums that gave you the most time
I tried it three times and was 0/3. Even for the sake of argument it’s not completely impossible – it’s still way, way too hard. |

Its my understanding that some strange random formula decides the times. Its something i believe Trout knows about but hasn’t fixed yet. |

you mean level 35 forums or at a level 35 character?
i think you just have to ignore those ludicrously short goal ones and do jobs that are possible.
also this is another one of those things where it would be stupid to have everything easily accomplished.
a game isn’t fun when you can blast through challenges without failing. the point of having impossible challenges is to stimulate players to improve their stuff and try to somehow get better. granted this isn’t a very complicated game and there’s pretty much a set of optimum stats, but still.
it makes me think of Zelda: Ocarina of time. there’s the running man who you can challenge to a race. He ALWAYS beats you by one second. It’s part of the game that he wins no matter what. But you still race him, improving your time, searching the world for information on the guy or tricks for speed or some item that might help. impossible challenges are an integral part of gaming. |

Difficult yes, impossible? Not integral, at least not one’s that aren’t imposed yourself. Having an impossible timed challenge will ruin your streak, hurt your Leaderboard standing and people will try because they think that it should be possible. Of course after a while you realize you can’t do it and go for the non-timed ones. With the time based ones, so many factors are out of your hands (Server speed, thread count, thread health) that it may be impossible regardless of what time you set some of the time.
Having difficult ones is required to maintain interest, but saying that impossible ones are integral I’d think is going a little far. Of course nobody MUST do the timed ones for any reason so as long as that’s always an option there’s not too much to complain about. |
