I just hit my longest one yet. I think if RNG had been as expected I would have hit 11 hours but 8 out of 10 of my last 10 hazards were not the primary or secondary skill.
First off, congrats on the great voyage.
Now, I just can’t resist pointing out if rng had been as expected it would have gone 45-50 minutes less (and that’s assuming 2950 am).
I hadn’t thought about that. I must’ve had good RNG at the beginning
So at about 10 hours and 20 seconds, my voyage timer actually started going backwards. Also, I didn’t get my dilemna at 10 hours either,
but gosh diddly darnit, I finally did it! Sole remaining game goal now. WIN AN EVENT

I’m seeing that it does pay off to ignore one of the non-featured skills to go heavier on the other three
Ignoring individual stats in that fashion will lead to more variance in your voyages. Yes, you will see longer ones sometimes, but you will also have your share at the other end of the bell curve as well when RNG hits you on the low skill.

Yes, I suppose I just see the good ones. The bad ones don’t even get posted so I don’t see the other side of the coin
The increase has been estimated at 1250 skill points per hour, putting the 10hr difficulty at 12500.
Note that there is some amount of variability in whether a specific hazard passes or fails. But the general rule of skill progression seems to hold true enough for personal estimates.
Ta. I know it does vary a bit as I've seen voyages where I've failed a gold skill dilemma, passed the next one and failed all the others after that. Don't think I've ever passed more than one after my first fail though! :-)
12k in both main skills and the rest into the other 3. I try to keep them even so I can free fall about the same time and rely on the 2 main skills exclusively.
There is no milestone that shouldn't be celebrated. Just because someone can hit 11hrs, that doens't mean that your accomplishment or a newer player that just hit 4hrs shouldn't be proud and show off what they did.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of CS foul-ups and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that four words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: nine hours without refresh, nine hours without refresh, nine hours without refresh.

Had one get past 11 hours the other day but didn’t hit the 11:06 mark.
It’s 11 hour mission.....
Gratz! You're the first to reach 11 hours (at least that has posted about it)
Not quite...Frank an AHSOG both came in around 11:06 and posted it back on page 4 of this thread.
Totally missed that

Wow! I’m a full hour behind you but I’m steady climbing

Right? I felt like a whole new level of person when I hit 10 hours. Got it about 4 times now.

For sure! I consider that a major milestone

30th October and not since; but I regularly reach 9
Not bad for not having made it past 9h5m in the past. Thanks, DBrng!
