Act 1 Speedrun on Recruit - Supply Points worthy ?

After doing a very bad run that was ~46:30, solo on online mode (I had to leave a few times with crossplay off to finally get an entire run solo, but online), I got around ~480 supply points (since I had about 10 before the run). I think that anyone can do an average of 45 mins at least while chilling and not tryharding that much.
If we get supply points in the offline campaign when it comes out, this might be a very effective way to get supply points for "new players" that want to max out their supply lines !
Or for 2-3 people crews that wants to farm in private match right now, which would be much faster than 45 minutes !

I thought I'd post this here, maybe someone will be interested, idk. (or maybe people will come in here to yell at me for endorsing speedrun lmao)

Important question: Did you do any Accomplishments in this run? Completing Accomplishment can give you extra Supply Points when you do it the first time, so the value could be manipulated.

Random players are using two maps as Supply Points farming right now:
1. Act 2, Campaign 3, Map 1: Heralds of the Worm Part 1
We can easily fast kill the Ogre with an explosive build and throwing a lot of grenades at him, it's possible to kill it in less than 5 seconds, and then it's just running to the end of the level.

2. Act 3, Campaign 2, Map 3: The Road to Hell
People are exploiting the map by jumping over the initial gate, prompting the game to not spawn Mutants, hordes, and Ridden during the map. You'll find Ridden but those are the ones already spawned on the ground.

Looking at Speedrun.com I see the fastest time for Act 1 on Recruit Solo is 29 minutes and 56 seconds, the last one is 49 minutes and 14 seconds, which means is manageable for anyone with a few cards to do sub 40 minutes: https://www.speedrun.com/b4b#Act_1

If you got this amount of Supply Points by simply beating the whole Act 1, maybe it's a good way to farm as soon as Turtle Rock Studios fix the gate glitch.

We need 22k Supply Points to purchase everything currently in the game, 500 Supply Points per 40 minutes would take us around 29 hours and 20 minutes to get it, it's good, meaning if you take three or four days farming heavily you can unlock everything.

Hate to break it to you, (not really, but I'm polite) but I got everything unlocked playing semi-casually for about 50hrs on recruit before they upped the rewards... It's likely that just playing the game will net you the same amount as speedrunning it. (up until you've unlocked everything, then it ALWAYS pays more to not speedrun)

Hate to break it to you, but no. The number of Supply Points that you get is from completing missions, killing things and time doesn't apply to it (besides the challenge to complete the thing before the timer runs out) which means completing maps faster means you get Supply Points faster.

So... If you take 2 hours to complete Act 1 and I take 40 minutes to complete Act 1, I'll be able to complete twice and a half faster than you, which means I'll get twice and a half more Supply Points in the time you get yours the first time.

After unlocking everything, IT KEEPS THE SAME AMOUNT, you won't have where to spend the Supply Points, but you can always farm a little bit more to unlock everything new an update can bring. For example, there's a guy who says he has more than 15k Supply Points there because he already bought everything.

Great, when a new update comes out and new cards come out, he'll be able to fast purchase everything without having to farm any more Supply Points.

In the end, you are wrong, speedrunning will get you more Supply Points over time, and if the player is having fun doing speedrun, he'll enjoy playing the game as well.

What's wrong with that?

I bet you won't answer this question either. I think this is the fourth question that I ask to you and you don't answer, for some reason.

Because you would get a WHOLE LOT MORE if you speed ran Veteran at least. I was doing that the other night with a buddy of mine so he'd get a couple of solid decks for when we attempt to get his Nightmare achievements.

Oh yeah, for sure, harder the difficulty more Supply Points, but maybe MasterXdX can't handle Veteran or Nightmare? Maybe he wants to farm more cards to deal better with Veteran? Everyone has their reasons.

This was mostly a test for players that really need supply points to start going on higher difficulties.
I probably could've ran that on veteran, that's true. But some players won't be able to handle it, and that might be a good way for them to not only learn a few things about the maps, but also get some supply points to form a deck.

did you buy this game to do this? ask yourself... just quickplay into nightmare or veteran lobbies and try to keep up you will get supply points and some idea of how to clear some levels...

I'm reporting you, by the way, once again for all your replies without sense and hate insemination. If you have nothing important to add to the thread, better not waste your time on it.

I do veteran, and sometimes nightmare if I have a friend with me
That's not the question, I enjoy speedrunning so I'm sharing my POV on it.
Then again, I rarely have any teammate to play nightmare. And I've posted on steam forums and joined a discord or two and cant really find someone...
So yeah, at this point I'm just trying to do something constructive while waiting to find a teammate or two

I'm not MasterXdX but I bet my ass he bought the game to play. The way MasterXdX is going to play it's his problem, not ours. If he wants to go slow, he can go slow, if he wants to go fast, he can go fast.

Are you suggesting that "to do this" in your comment is, somehow, diminishing just because he wants to speedrun? Why do people in this community want to badly to determine how people should play the game?

By the way, joining Veteran and Nightmare without a good deck knowing nothing about the game WON'T give you Supply Points, you'll only lose a lot because the game mode is hard, it'll just make you frustrated and become a common "Prince Ian", a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ player who needs someone to carry him over the hardest difficulties.

It's, literally, better to stay on Recruit to build a better deck than being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ player that can't handle Veteran nor Nightmare solo, and want to force people to carry him during the whole Nightmare difficulty.
