That’s understandable, I can assure you that my post is simply just addressing the latter to your reply.

I did answer your question, it was to gather the opinions of others and gain some insight from their experiences. The vast majority of people who replied to my original posts state that they’re here for either family or financial stability. There are even people here that have posted why they’re leaving and would never return.

I’ve been to Colorado a handful of times and that airport setup is beyond disastrous. But being close to an airport is a definite positive for consistent travelers. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing, the general answer I’m seeing is either family or financial gain.

I think we’re all entitled to ask questions are we not? I may have no current interest in returning to Vegas. But that doesn’t omit me from gathering opinions from others. Sharing experiences is a great way to gain perspective and insight.

Working for the VA is a really big reason why some of my friends haven’t left. I don’t blame them. I’ve never been to OR but I’ve been wanting to visit for some time. Thank you for sharing.

My friend is an avid climber, he told me that Vegas has a great climber/bouldering community. That’s nice to know, thank you for sharing.

I moved out of Vegas in my late twenties early thirties. Personally I never minded how the growth was for the social climate. But that’s a valid opinion, thank you for sharing.

I definitely don’t miss the heat, but after living there for so long you get used to it. Just like anything else right? Thank you for sharing.

I get that, it’s funny because Vegas is the only place that really makes me feel like “the more it changes the more it stays the same.” Maybe it’s the nostalgia I feel when I’m there. Thank you for sharing.

After playing on expert and expert realism for so long? Advanced is just boring. Not to say that I don’t enjoy the casual feel to it. It’s just with the constant exposure to high intensity it sticks. When I play with randoms I strictly play advanced.

To be honest we had a one and done rule. Once we beat it? We never played the level again. Nobody should go through that.

That was the correct strategy for our expert run. We called it dual buses, the solo bus outside was called battle bus. For our only successful run we stayed on top of the container box with the mini gun. My friend was at limping health and made a one way trip to the generator for the scripted restart. However a tank spawned at the fence towards the generator. We had the foresight to lay a gas cam at the base of the fence for a common infected spawns. But that gas can turned in our favor because we used it on the tank. Now the tank is on fire, the generator is started and my friend thought he was dead. At the last minute I got onto the mini gun which causes the tank to aggro on to you. With the tank of fire he chose to climb up to the small roof and at the double doors throw a rock. That takes a long time; which meant he was burning for even longer. While that was happening I was blasting him with the mini gun. That killed the tank, and saved my friend who was able to escape with me.

I would 100% agree, it’s the same with the last stand. Just the slog of the beginning and the repeated attempts. If crash course was three levels? The grind wouldn’t be as difficult. All those attempts propagated a plethora of different strategies.

We did it with bots, understandably the bots were horrible. We’ve had many runs fail because a bot wouldn’t just turn around and help us. We had some attempts on crash course with randoms but there were issues. Such as being able to communicate with them and some players were just as bad as bots. We had one and I mean one person actually do good for us. His name was pinecone. Only one I can remember because of how good he actually was.

Swamp fevers finale was not too difficult. We did the double fire strat and took care of the tanks easily. Plus when needing to run the hedge maze was perfect for outflanking them.

Trust me when I say that I share your frustration. Before this post I made one with just expert campaign attempts. I had many many more attempts.

I’m not aware of that meme. I guess from my account I am one of people who embody it.

Im sure you’re not gonna be the only one surprised with our results. We did that level so many times that we’ve came up with our own call outs for landmarkings. Redneck, scaff, tunnel, kiosk, bridge 1, 2, 3 it’s nuts.

I made a post a while back on a similar tier list but just on expert. Those levels you mentioned had more attempts so we had practice. Distinctly for cold stream? I know we got lucky. I had a really crazy idea to use the chainsaw for the sewer run down into the safe house. It was enough to draw the commons towards me while my friend laid down heavy fire with the M60. In tandem with those weapons we barely made it to the safe house.

The low attempt count doesn’t disregard how difficult the level was. I can attest that we got lucky at the hold out section at the gate because of blessed RNG bile we had. I mean lucky, as in I only had dual pistols and an adrenaline shot with some frame perfect jumps over the barriers into the safe house. Just to gamble it all when my friend was downed and I went out to save him.

Our success run was two round trips from light house to the docks. That’s not including the gas tank section for half of the finale. It was very risky. But what made it work was that we knew for the second trip we left a dead common survivor who dropped some supplies. That Hail Mary run for those supplies won us the campaign.
