You need to play at least in hard to get the mission achievement, brutal is only for completing the missions. If you think you can't get the achievement on brutal it can be a reasonnable decision to plan on two playthrough one for all the achivement and another were you try to it as quick as possible on brutal. Actually all if them did it on particular mission I think | ||

Also the competition was unethical as sleep deprivation can cause permanent damage. Really? Like what? u re talking out of your ass and by that standard pretty much every time-constrained competition would be unethical. | ||

I'd love to see him crush this achievement hunt. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/238549043 Here's the link to destiny's vod, assuming it's allowed to post links. That's the link to day one. | ||

There was nothing unethical about the challenge, as in countless cases in life, there was a goal to achieve, and an incentive to be the first to achieve it. Some people chose to pull an all-nighter, which is commendable and kudos to them for the dedication. And getting back to the other part of ur original post, there s no embarrassment for "the scene", there was a small number of streamers (no progamers), who were invited to do the challenge. Winter (2nd) said he never finished the achievements before this, im sure Neuro (3rd) dindt either, so by what standard is it embarrassing, and for whom, that Destiny took it, I have no idea. | ||

It's not the same article that I read before but talks about the same study I think. I didn't say anything about brain damage so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.

I guess it's pretty subjective what's embarrassing, I just find it funny that a guy who haven't touched the game in ages could win this challenge. Obviously it's not the same as winning actual tourney against pro players. | ||

Other streamers started playing on hard to get the mission achievements in one go and then replayed them on brutal. After he completed brutal he played on normal for the "8h achievement". I think to start on normal (for that 8h achievement) then brutal would be the fastest way. | ||

The health impacts and risks of extended sleep deprivation and marathon gaming sessions (inadequate break times etc) are significant and well established | ||

I think to start on normal (for that 8h achievement) then brutal would be the fastest way. The best approach would definitely be playing through on brutal with the speedrun route, getting all the achievements and making a save before the Char missions. If you know what you're doing, that should clock in at less than 8 hours so you don't have to play everything twice. In fact, you can probably fit some more missions into that time frame to get better upgrades and make certain missions easier, especially The Dig where orbitals are extremely useful if you're gonna clear all enemies which is the fastest way to beat the mission, achievements or not. After that, you'd load from the save before Char and go through the remaining 10 missions on brutal with achievements. It's possible on every missions to get all achievements on brutal (even if a couple are a bit tricky) and I'm pretty sure it's always worth it to do that except maybe the kill all enemies achievement on Zeratul 2. e: just to be clear this is for WoL only | ||

Hurry Up: It's Raid Night (10) Complete the Wings of Liberty campaign under 8 hours of total played mission time on Normal difficulty. I really thought you have to play it on Normal difficulty only. | ||

Sure, it s possible on paper, if u re very well prepared in advance, but as we saw most participants werent very well prepared for the campaign, so it hasnt worked out for them. The speed-run Achievement really messes with your mind, but it can be rushed really really fast, i ve done it yesterday, nowhere near 8 hours are necessary, i think i clocked in about 5 and it was a far throw from ideal run, so i guess it can be done in around 4 hours, if u do everything perfectly and use all the cheese strats, then it s probably less then 4. Im pretty sure there was at least 1 mission where neuro for example spent 3 hours at the least, so by that standard, it s not so crazy | ||
