GillyTook Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Aw, the gloves are cool. Glad I joined the knights, though. Well, at least I am at the moment, who knows how I'll feel with tomorrow's challenge Edit: Okay, refresh my memory, please? How do the qualifying games work again? Is it ANY score sent, a minimum score, or do you have to play X number on a certain day for it to count towards the progress bar? jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Those gloves look cool on my Draik, is that an acceptable reason for picking a side? I need to refresh my memory too, Gilly, lol. I need to get myself some more caffeine, and do some studying on this before I make any decisions, because I KNOW I'm confusing this with Daily Dare, though I am leaning towards Raiders for those gloves.

Angeló Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 TEAM KNIGHTS FTW ! i struggled to get a 3000 sore in Snowmuncher even though i have the avatar i must be getting rusty .. my reflexes are slow while avoiding those blocks falling down on me .. in the past i used to clear away from them quickly or maybe my keyboard isn't responsive anymore .. idk either way i played like 10 times to get the score ... remember you can use the cheatcode buuuurrrrrrrrp (4 u's , 8 r's) to bring down your bloated level by 50% (once per game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I took one look at Jungles Raiders and turned tail and fled You need to score 450, my top score is 60. I'm always aware that a low score is likely to be from getting the Top Gamer avatar, but having tried today I've decided that that 60 is likely all I am capable of scoring so it's a big NOPE from me for this round. Arrow keys are not my brain's friend at all, and when you NEED to keep moving to not only avoid baddies but not fall off something and die? PFFT, I don't think so, lol.

Nielo Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 My high score for Snowmuncher was around 2600, so I didn't have high hopes for this game (but, much like @jellysundae, my high score for Jungle Raiders was obviously gotten in an attempt to play as many games as possible, as it's only 52, so picking Raiders wouldn't have been much better), but I eventually managed to get the score and beat my high score by a 1000 points. I do not like this game though. (For anyone else still struggling; I used the tip from the game guide and re-did the 2nd level by letting the timer run out while I was at the bottom.) jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to play a certain amount of games from the qualifying list by the end of the event. Any score that gives out NP counts. So the minimum score is the score that stands for 1 NP.

aleu1986 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I prefer the Daily Dare over the GMC as I tend to go with Abigails scores since they are easier to beat, haha. But I still participate in the GMC every year and do my best. Today was a good day to start on, I chose Team Knights! I remember playing Snowmuncher for months to get the avatar ages ago, lol. Took me a couple of tries to get the score needed today. I`ll be playing a few extra games each day so I won`t have to play a ton of games on the last day to get the challenge of sending 50 game scores or whatever it is. jellysundae and charelan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Day 2 Knights Games Send a minimum score of 1100 or higher playing Biscuit Brigade i played this game once when it first came out and didn't like it .. but this was easier than what i expected. i played on hard and just kept adding random towers .. i ended up with a score of 3500 .. it's just like Sorcerer's Skirmish .. Send a minimum score of 200 or higher playing Skies Over Meridell This was a bit harder .. you need to get lucky with the enemy fighter not crashing into the zeppelin or you'll get no points from that .. you just need to keep tailing him and not letting him face you cz he'll shoot you down. On average you need to make 10 kills for the challenge (each kill = 20 points) .. i ended up with 205 points after he crashed into me on my last life and we both died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilley88 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 What happens if you fail to complete one of the daily challenges? The Piper Panic is too frustrating! lol On 11/24/2018 at 1:25 PM, charelan said: What do you mean by this? If you have a top gamer avatar the games get harder?? Thank goodness I don't have one then lol It means that he/she put very minimum effort in playing the games. Because to obtain the top gamer avatar, you need to play and submit scores for 250+ games. lol This post has been edited by a member of staff (Duma) because of a violation of the forum rules.Please don't double post.

I KNOW I'll not be able to hit the required scores on some games, and on others I'll not be able to manage the game at all, so I'll just be happy with what I am able to do. 3 hours ago, charelan said: What do you mean by this?

Thank goodness I don't have one then lol Oh no‼ For the Top Gamer avatar you need to submit scores for 250 games, but no-one ever said they have to be GOOD scores. Some examples from my illustrious "high" scores table... 200m Peanut Dash 20 Points Aaa's Revenge 14 Points Attack of the Marblemen 35 Points Attack of the Revenge 26 Points Barf Boat 6 Points And so it continues... You can see I REALLY liked Barf Boat‼ This is my bestest though. Feed Florg 1 Points Today I think all I'll win is that delicious cookie, I'm so blessed, right? midnight_spell360 and aleu1986 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Only Day 2 and I already won't be getting gold I'll admit previous years were sometimes a bit too easy, but I remember struggling so much to get even 5k for Piper Panic and now they want 5500.. it was fun while it lasted. Edit: Once again all it took was a little complaining and a different strategy (go for speed and don't worry about getting every single gem) to get the score needed.. I'll show myself out.

Nielo Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 My arm hurts from playing Skies Over Meridell and trying not to move my mouse with the trackpad while shooting stuff. (Using the m,.? keys for shooting is not how I'd have designed this game. XD) I got exactly 200 (after trying for a looooong time). I think I crashed into things, killing myself, (way) more often than my opponent managed to shoot me. jellysundae, aleu1986, midnight_spell360 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleu1986 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ugh Skies Over Meridell was awful. I was finally able to get 220 points. Try to stay behind your opponent, collect power-ups (avoid the falling baskets). For Biscuit Brigade, I used this guide: http://www.neopets.com/~fnarghlor_the_weird I used the tips to and including wave 6, then I just let the game run and the score kept going up.

hrtbrk Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 For all the Piper Panickers... Make sure to get the last 4 star baskets in order on Level 9. This will be a huge point boost. Lastly, make sure you burn your remaining lives on the final level before completing it. Collect all but one basket, then crash in to a wall and start over. Collect as many gems as you can. The last life you have is "0 Cobralls Left" so make sure you complete the game then by getting the last 3 star baskets. It should put you over 5500!

sajixx Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 What are people talking about with the "playing a bunch of games by the end of the gmc" thing? I don't see anything on the challenges page about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything on the challenges page about it. Generally, in GMCs past, on the last day, one of the challenges is to play/submit scores for 50 (or so) of the qualifying games. The "qualifying games" list is located here: http://www.neopets.com/games/gmc2018/index.phtml?page=qfg As you play and submit scores for one of the qualifying games, the list will show it as "Complete" (in green). For the games, all you have to do is earn enough points to submit a score, meaning you do not have to play the game all the way through. If 1 point = 1 NP, then you can just end the game and submit your score, and have it show as "Complete". It helps to play games and submit scores before the last day of GMC, so you are not trying to play 50 games on one day. Also, each of the GMC Challenge Games counts as a qualifying game, so that helps, too. Hope this made sense. sajixx, midnight_spell360 and Aquamentis12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajixx Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks! So they're guessing based on the past. Ah well, guess the extra nps won't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillyTook Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well, no stamp for me if that's the case. I can't get past 150 on Skies over Merridel, and I've been playing all afternoon. I give up. Scoobert_Doo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
