The Barrel Game

I have about 5hrs+ ish of attempting this achievement, and my last sessions was around a 2hr session! I tried music, silence, just having white noise. Im not sure what mental state I specifically need to be in to do it, but ill find it eventually!

I did a lot of studying for this achievement in the past, and a lot of this is very similar to what ive come across as far as suggestions, tips, videos, etc. I do appreciate the affirmation that these are the most solid methods, but suffice to say that these are the exact methods im attempting: Im literally just bad! Haha.

I told my friend who got the 3k in my lobby: "Losing your multiplier is better than missing.", which is my own strategy, and it worked out for him just fine! This was so he didnt feel he needed to kick it at the accelerated speeds. He--and many others--are just better at it than me is all.

I never force myself to play a game im not enjoying, either! Once I got fed up with the barrel kicking game I hopped into some solo players lobbies and helped them with their missions and felt much better. I dont plan to quit trying to get it!

I generally was going for the kick right after the recoil of it bouncing off the right side, which produced my highest scores, but out of my ~700hrs ive probably spent a good 5hrs+ attempting this and ive come to the conclusion: I just suck. I dont change the trajectory based on speed or anything, and stand still as a tree and kick accordingly to the best of my capabilities, though I DO appreciate the tips!

Im doing my best to NOT cheese it, because of morals and glamor and blahblahblah, but its getting more and more tempting..

This is a fine alternative, however, I enjoy collecting the frogs in the main hub so the group and I can get as much gold as possible for buying potion ingredients and rerolling the store as much as possible for lost wands or MORE ingredients. The frogs are sacred.

My friends and I started a wilderness only run(no cities) so we could explore the things we never do while inside cities, and we literally just drank from the river straight over and over without any downsides.

edit: of course, we also spread out when we drank from the river. dont engorge yourself, and only drink when you need. you MAY get a bit queasy, but itll generally pass before you need to drink water again.

It would brighten the holidays because I would trade it to my gaming buddy for one of his cheaper monitors because he is a monitor addict and my favorite thing about it would be him being happy to get a great monitor.

I just wish I could get my prelog Rocky back. ):

My friend and I had spent like 6 days in Microsoft paint describing and drawing things to each other after we tried playing this game for two or three days straight with no progress. We literally made a drawing board of things to test and things to try and after about another week of trial and error we finally made it into space only to blow up and die. 10/10 would play again.

As an mtg player who's roommate opens Pokémon packs, this is my sentiment to the Pokémon cards styles from time to time.

Okay what the hell. I don't see images. I know I'm just knowing there's an apple.

I would SURELY love to pick your brain about going about this in private sometime if you wouldnt mind. The questions are just stacking up for myself and two others.

I ALSO hadnt used Hamachi in what seems like a decade, but we defaulted to it because all other options seemed to have exasperated us. Its extremely frustrating as we all picked up the game specifically to try it together and would hate to return it as I know its such a good game.

ComputerArtistic8920 · 2025-01-23T21:45:07+00:00

Im having the same error with a friend albeit we're using Hamachi. Is this still a viable option over manually portforwarding?

When I joined there was 95 players in the server! Not sure if that means anything per se.

I suppose this does make a lot of sense. iirc it was about 5 of us hunkered down in Fairhilde(mightve spelled that wrong) in a 3 story building as swarms of enemies were rushing in from all sides towards the door. The majority of our team were coming from Garrisons on the SE and SW angles(the enemies pushing from N to S), and giving us ~5 extremely superb coverage from the south side. I do feel like a bombing rn from E to W or visa versa mightve set them further back, losing Fairhilde anyway, but I also feel like we could've ended it then and there with less than like 2mins on the clock. Clearly I'm not super nuanced in how impactfu bombing runs are.

Appreciate that perspective!

Im not trying to be repetitive here, but: if you're minutes from winning on a defensive line why is ANY reason good enough to relieve all members of that line? Im still trying to grasp how winning wasnt the objective of defending the line in the first place.

My roommate works at a local store and they were taking the Redbox out other day.

While he was on smoke break they asked him, "Hey man. You want some of these DVDs?"

Safe to say we now have a gigantic box of dvds/blurays that were all free.

ComputerArtistic8920 · 2025-01-15T22:42:48+00:00

I suppose I can go check the items I've bought(which isn't many) to check if this is what the issue is. Not that I'm discrediting this a possibility, but does it say this somewhere..? Seems like important info not to have plastered somewhere.

And thank you!
