General

Full Empress Solo

So by now we all know Empress Cygnus has been changed such that her healing was removed, her dark genesis is a 1hko (there is a variation that barely leaves you alive), and one of her moves is now a 50% hp attack. While she is indeed more dangerous and less forgiving of mistakes, the fact that her healing was removed greatly reduces the barrier for people without amazingly high dps and/or bind.

I made a thread before asking if a Hero with ~720k buffed range, 262% boss, and 91% effective PDR could do a full solo, given that the range would be further buffed with potions, that MPE potions would be used to break the speed cap, and that survival was a non-issue. Most people were quite negative about the possibility.

Now, if I claimed to have done a successful solo with the above stats, would you believe me?

@meso911: Sure, I'll accept that, though I don't think I withheld as much information here as I did before. I'll let the thread die down quietly since it's clear that it hasn't accomplished much good. You can have the last remark if you want, but I won't be trying to defend myself or the likes, since it's probably futile.

@powerlad88: Sorry, what I meant was that this group of two threads was the first in quite a while. But yea, looks like I wished for a moment of fame and got what I wished for, though not in a good way. It wasn't the "look how godly I am" sort of thing I was going for, but something like "they said I couldn't do it but I did."

@cb000: it says the last time you posted a thread this similar was 2 days ago not a year. and the fact that you asked this in a question and then alluded to the fact that you finished it in your last sentence. It seems like your just looking for fame about this fact while trying to act humble about it?

@cb000: It's not about your achievement anymore because you never made it about your achievement. You made the thread under false pretenses so therefore no one cares about what you actually did they just care that you lied about it for your own stupid attention craving reasons.

@meso911: Yea, I was debating whether or not I should put the video link right away or wait, and it seems that I made the wrong decision. I can't deny that I did have some craving for attention; after all, most people want to be recognized after achieving something. I guess I let that urge affect my decision the wrong way. But don't worry; I won't be posting any other bossing accomplishments of mine, since they pale in comparison with others'.

[quote=cb000]@freezenlight: @LuizEvilx: Yes, I agree that instead of asking on Basil, I should try it out on my own, and that's what I always do. I always enjoy testing the waters whether or not I'm able to finish the boss. I only made the thread on Basil to see how much people in general underestimate Heroes in the light of Drk and Pally revamps, since many people seem to feel that way.

@xtripled: I'm sorry if the second thread I've made in perhaps several years bothers you. I mostly just want to raise some awareness that Heroes aren't as weak as many people put them out to be, after seeing all the comparison threads. And yes, I'm quite proud of the fact that I completed a solo despite the negative responses from people, but I would not feel inclined to brag about my power as a player, since there are plenty of players out there who are much, much better than me and deserving of more fame. As I said, this is simply the second thread I've made in several years, and on one topic, and I don't plan to make any more.[/quote]

If all this is true why not just say it in the first place with a link to the video to show your proof instead of making yourself look like an attention seeking noob?

[quote=CherryTigers]Hm.. I guess the comments left were assuming empress was the "old" empress.

If you were a 720k buffed range hero fighting the old empress, your chance of beating her is 0. Not enough DPS to charge through her heals before timing out.
If you say that empress no longer heals and you can survive everything, you indeed have a chance if you can do enough damage before timing out.

I haven't fought the new empress, but I might give it a try later. I really dislike having my inventory flooded with empress equips. They're a waste of space to put in the store as they actually LOSE you money, but at the same time, they have too much value to drop. It's a painful ordeal to stare at your inventory being flooded..

Im poor, give me your "waste of space" empress.

jesus christ, stop being an attention hoe.
instead of making the last thread, you could have easily gone to tested it out yourself.
instead of making this, what i'm presuming is a bragging thread, you could have just made a video showing "wow check me out, solo'd empress" then posted it youtube then submitted it to the basil video section.

surprise, surprise, did a little searching around and came across this

posted, march 29th, your 1st thread was made on march 30th. You already had your answers, yet you posted attention seeking threads.
Good job.

....yes? Based on the wording you used in this thread, it seems pretty obvious that you've already done this.

EDIT: Just checked your channel. Congrats, I guess.

why not simply try and see for yourself? Im sure that most people around basil are clueless about what it really takes to clear empress, especially as a class that isnt commonly seen anymore, so I dont see why you rely on their opinion

dont really care if your able to solo or not.
Unlike most people, i think the fun part of a game is to try it out yourself and see.
