Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

I was going to mention EDF 4.1 in my initial post. I managed to get the plat at almost exactly 500 hours. Obviously, I put a lot of effort into it, but had help from some of the elite players, which is absolutely necessary for the vast majority. I DO know a small handful of people who are so skilled and have such great strategy, that they can pass most of the craziest levels solo, and were able to complete co-op missions with a good team with even less armor than I had. Because circumstances suck I haven't been on my PS4 lately. In addition, I simply need to move on and play other things. BUT, I will return to EDF 4.1 from time to time. I'd be willing to help, and even more importantly, you'd probably meet some of my friends who would pitch in. Also, don't know if you're aware, but hackers/modders/cheaters invaded the game just at the end of last December. They've really pissed off a lot of the community. I wonder if we've crossed paths before? Also, do you have the DLC mission packs?

Holy shit you managed to get all 4 inferno trophies in 500 hours only, that is amazing.

Though to be clear I have been playing alone. I don't have PS Plus so I cannot co-op for this game. Enemies are insane on inferno as you must certainly know. Though I managed to get to chapter 79 with my Wing Diver. But chapter 80 on inferno is absolutely mad. The dragons attack you from above and you are simultaneously blinded, paralyzed and your life meter goes down in a matter of seconds, it's very unfair and too hard so I have been grinding like mad and my Wing Diver is at 14000 points and I still need to grind more to beat this damn level. The problem here is that there is nowhere to hide, no strategy that can help. You just need to increase your health and that takes time.

I can't believe you have completed inferno with all 4 categories, congratulations man. And I don't think we must have met on the field since I don't play online. I did not know about that hack you mention. Also for a long time I had the base game but I got so bored grinding that I purchased the first extension pack just to see new levels during my grinding so yes I got the first pack but not the second one.

Yeah. Monster Camp on inferno is going to be almost impossible without going online...there might be a way though. Do you by chance have a decent Air Raider, with good weapons and armor? And a second controller? I have a friend who did it solo in split screen. I tried it too and couldn't do it, but he had roughly 4x my armor. To be honest though, I don't think I've ever even heard of anybody completing mission 96: Demon Army in solo play. It's fucking unreal. A PSN friend, MSOKusinagi3D, who legitimately ground his Wing Diver up to 600 000+ armor, AND is a really good player, couldn't do it. I've seen him put up a good fight for close to an hour, but eventually he gets overwhelmed. Again, this is with 600 000 armor. He farms AFK in split screen, which allows for some huge armor totals with much less time investment. Hate to say it, but I don't think it's going to be worth the effort to try and finish it solo.

Ah! I can't post on your wall because you're set to private.
