Hi All,
I've been lurking here a while. I've played GC1 and GC0 for some time. Munch, I used to see your scores when they still had the little in-game high score table. I was Allan on that board. Do you remember me?
I saw some brief discussion about getting high scores in Beyond Corruption mode. I've been playing this way for months now. I'm up to 232 waves in level 1 with a score of 1.2 Billion XP. I like it because the monsters don't get tough nearly as fast as they do in Endurance.
I've been using Speedhack because, like many of you, I just can't build the gems fast enough. I like a speed of 0.1 once things get rolling. I also found Auto Hotkey and used that for macros to create and combine gems. I LOL'ed at the carpel tunnel comment earlier. My left hand was KILLING me from parking my pinky on the CTRL button. I realize that using Speed Hack and keyboard macros are kind of cheating, but I think it's more fun to push the limits of the game.
I managed to kill all the monsters in the last level - all 228 waves. I wasn't the first, but I feel good having done it. It was my 5th or so attempt. I didn't anger anywhere near as much as you folks, and only got 170 billion score (170,000 XP). I only angered enough to keep the mana flowing fast enough to build gems and increase the pool. I made 4 gems @500K, about 20 @100K and 20 @50K. The traps were filled with R/O at full speed, with some V/O thrown in for armor stripping.
It's been a blast so far, and I'm trying to come up with a new fun thing to do.
Allan
