Challenge videos to do

While taking in-game about some funny situations, I came up with 2 ideas that I'am challenging the community to put them on video. If anyone thinks they can do it, then report back here with a link to the video so we can see it.

Challenge #1) Have any many healers as possible heal a lvl 1 player attacking a lvl 250 boss to see how long will the lvl 1 player will last

Challenge #2) A lvl 1 player using only left and right movements + auto run cross a continent in one single time without slowing nor stopping nor accelerating

If you have other challenge ideas, it has to involve a lvl 1 player as the main character. It has to be near impossible or else it would not be challenging to do. If you think it is REALLY impossible to do then tell us and if other also agree, then we will change the rules a bit.

Once we do have video proofs, maybe we could use them as marketing videos titled "Impossible missions done by a level 1 player" ?

Nice Ideas! :D

There´s only one small catch, those Videos would need an incredible amount of Diskspace, especially the "strafe across the land" one.
Considering that a minute of uncompressed FRAPS Video file, takes up about 30mb...
And to really proof that there was no "foulplay" involved it had to be completely seamless... no cuts, no fade in/outs...
Would be BIG Videos.

I'd imagine if they were using Voice overs and what not, there'd be a lot of swearing and things to be heard :) That would be fun to listen and laugh to (in some cases).

I'd also imagine there'd be a lot of cuts because what I envisioned if I did it would be:
"!%@########### Kipucka!"
*boom, dead*
-goes to the same location
"Alrighty, let's try this again..."
*careful maneuver happens*
"Yeah! !%@# you Kipucka!"
*runs into Staro*
"Crap!"


I'm sure you can imagine the place I was thinking of as well haha.

Something tells me if someone does do this, it would be more comical to watch if they included voice overs and cuts haha.

Well for disk space, how about asking the game owner ? These type of videos could be classified as furn marketing community movies to potentially attract new players by showing them the fun they can have and we can provide.

I don't think it would matter how many heals a lvl 1 player was getting since they would be dead at the instant the lvl 250 boss landed one hit.

We're talking about 50 HPs and bosses that hit for thousands....
Shielding won't cut it.


While it might not meet the intent of the challenge posed, a lvl 1 can tank *anything*
All you have to do is have them rezzed before the boss has time to move on to another target ;)

Endless whack-a-mole

Bet it couldn't tank a kitin Exterminator, though. xD Those things are A.D.D.-ish.

Makes me wonder if you can do multiple shielding on a homin. Would be fun to go up against a Kipucka and only have it do 1 damage.

Since the level1 char can hardly keep the attention of anything with melee dmg or taunt and the healer will have to top up 50hp every 1-2 sec the healer will become the target, with more healers you could bounce around aggro but the level1 will never get aggro back after the 1k heals start flying.
