SPYAGE Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Not too bad really. Hammerburst and Sawed Off are no fun though. I was very relieved when I finished Hammerburst. These weapon grinding ones suck out your energy haha. Been doing Heavy Weapons lately with the Mortar and it is quite boring. Try switching to mulcher for a while and see if the kills go faster. I got prob 5000 of the HW kills from mulcher alone and to me it seemed to go much faster that way. To each his own though. It all depends on your playing style I guess. I actually had more fun with mulcher anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patdb23 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I reached my goal of 30 onyx medals yesterday. There's no chance in h*ll I'm gonna bother with Seriously 3.0! That's my goal as well, get the Embry Star. I do have a life and I refuse to be one of those "pump my chest out because I idle boosted a game" players. I have 21 onyx medals, just need a few more heavy ribbons then I'll have all the horde/beast/campaign onyx medals. Just need to figure out which 8 VS onyx medals I'll go for with controller in hand. Plan to try to get at least gold in all VS medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan to try to get at least gold in all VS medals. The point to idle boosting is to actually go out and do something while making progress, you know. I really don't get it why people think idling is some sort of taboo... If you feel like actually playing all 18,000 games, then good for you. To each their own, Anyway, I just got to 44 Onyx medals tonight. Finished Captor and Executioner. Now I've only got Explosives, Pistols, Lancer, Hammer, Gnasher and Sawed-Off for kill medals and a few random medals I can't think of right now. After that, I get to idle my way to Seriously 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chojin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 just got my 56th medal - 6,000 pistol kills. next will be skunker with only 60 remaining. Idling with one xbox for the past few months has really paid off. It's taken forever but i'd rather that than be left with it at the end!!! After that I think i'm going to work on the three remaining Horde medals I have. I'm about 50% into each one so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just leave my Xbox on all day and do other stuff. 52/65 total Onyx.

SPYAGE Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 What map did you do this, gametype, how many Xbox's, etc? just one xbox. TDM. my favorite maps are either mercy or thrashball. cuz u have a good point of view of all the enemies as they spawn. whatever you feel like doing really. Just basically saying that grinding mulcher seemed to go faster than grinding mortar. or oneshot, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan to try to get at least gold in all VS medals. Make whatever excuse up that you want, you don't have the motivation to get it. I work full-time and only have a couple hours of play time a night and I still got it. Did you really come into this thread just to find someone with as little motivation as you and then comment on his post trying to justify why you aren't going to get Seriously 3.0? Why even look at this thread or come on this forum at all if you aren't trying to get the achievement. This forum is specifically for achievement hunting. With that said, to those actually going for Seriously 3.0, Idle boosting is a necessary evil since Epic didn't make the goals realistic. I don't want to dedicate my game time over the next 5 years solely to one game. Sorry. If you are close to Seriously 3.0, you realize how much of a grueling grind it is without playing 3,000 of each map type and know how long it takes to get it.
