Daily Run as Ellie for June 16, 2024. Thank you for watching! 00:00 Board Check 00:49 Encounter 1 06:57 Encounter 2 11:11 Encounter 3 18:25 Encounter 4 22:24 Encounter 5 27:06 Boss
The theme of my dailies recently has been not getting the shotgun, which is costing me 1st place, the trading post not being consistent for everyone on these dailies was a bizarre decision. This run was pretty much perfect, I took no damage and did every encounter well, but the issue is I did not have the shotgun for Motel, which, coupled with Ellie's slow head-stab melee animation, screwed me out of a high 800+ score on that map, which guarantees I won't stay 1st and cost me the 12k. Thank you for watching!
It sucks you didn’t get the shotgun! There were so many opportunities for multi on the Motel 😭 definitely a bizarre direction from ND to make the trading post different for players, same goes for spawn points on certain encounters. Can totally make a difference on a run. My personal theory was that maybe they want players to do the dead drops to increase the chance of getting the shotty or military pistols. That being said I think there is a chance your placement will stand, the run was very, very good & tough to beat
@@StanStanley3 Thank you! Yeah the dead drops are also a gamble because sometimes doing them can screw you out of a shotgun because they change what options the trading post can give you for the rest of the run.
Yeah, this is one of the more unfortunate decisions for No Return. With the system they have now, there isn't a way to fix it. If I had three Molotovs, let's say, after encounter 3, or whatever, but you didn't, then they're obviously not going to offer me something I already am full on, so that means certain items get bumped depending on what you currently have equipped as well as the recipes you currently have. The only workaround that consistently works for me is not using any items during certain encounters. If you're full on smoke bombs, trap mines, and molotovs as an Ellie character, then you're much more likely to get a shotgun because the trading post isn't going to offer things you already have. I think they should have just done away with the re-roll system altogether. They should have just laid all of the items out for you to purchase like a merchant shop. If you can afford something, great, but if you can't, then you simply don't buy it. It's also annoying to have to purchase the shotgun earlier than you may want to because you know if you're offered it earlier, you're probably not going to have the opportunity again. So you're potentially having to waste all of your coins on a shotgun you don't need until encounter five when you really need to spend the money or bombs and molotovs for a capture or something to get the 50+ for no guns. If someone wants to spend all their money on a shotgun right after the first encounter, I think that should consistently be within the player's control. This randomized shit just fucks us out of a high score or getting what we want to maximize the points in every encounter. Now that I've watched your run and you didn't do the dead drop in the first encounter, I'm going to prioritize it, and I bet I'll get the shotgun later.
You’re an amazing player man!!! Love seeing your gameplay videos!!! And I just love this game so much, it’s kind of addictive haha 😅. Keep it up, Val!! 💪
What an impressive run. No damage too! 👏Watched some encounters twice it was that good. The boss was textbook, hunted GOATed as always, great capture (not sure why it didn’t count the multi kill with Molly tho?). At this point they need to put on Super Duper Grounded+ difficulty for players like you haha 🤣 ETA: also this raincoat is my favorite Ellie skin 😅
GG. I got too overzealous with mêlée on the hunted on bottom/bottom and got clapped. 😭 It sucks Ellie never does the neck slash. GGs! Idk how you got damage free, I always get hit at least once per encounter lol.
I see why you prefer Abby’s animations to Ellie’s now… Stabbing someone in the head is so stupid too, you’re not getting a switch blade through someone’s skull. You don’t go for the head with a knife! Anyways it’s a damn shame that the game continuously refuses to give you a shotgun, but luckily you played flawlessly and for that I commend you. An extremely entertaining run today Val ❤️🔥
I knew you placed 2 trap mines to keep them from crawling, but they eventually die anyway, so I didn't understand why you would spend 2 trap mines in one place. And here 22:50, they are still crawling even though you placed 2 trap mines.. So instead of wasting 2 trap mines why not just use 1?
If you look at my 1,056 record on Supermarket, I used 6 trap mines, two in three different spawn spots for many reasons. When they both blow up and get two kills, that counts as a multi-kill because one trap mine damaged both infected, and if a shambler or clicker spawn on them they insta die, which speeds everything up. They significantly speed up the spawns regardless of what spawns on them, and no, if the crawlers die out by themselves it does not count as a kill and you lose out on 10 pts plus the 10 multi kill points. And having a crawler going around without killing them slows down spawns. Two instead of one guarantees double kills/shambler kills/clicker kills. If not for those traps that could have been a 1,000 point max performance. As for Motel, the only reason the clicker didn’t die is because of the increased health mod, which I forgot existed before I placed the traps. If runners spawned on them I would have gotten a multi-kill, just got unlucky there.
@@yeserra_h You don’t. And like I said, if you only use one and it kills one infected and makes the second one a crawler you miss out on the multi-kill, it slows you down because now you have to go kill the crawler and it slows down the spawns.
