Origin id is N7-Gerbil if anyone wants to add.

Legacy of Mordus (insanity) 

20:57 - N7-Gerbil (342 285 pts) 

I might be. 

 

Also interested in doing the other trios, so if anybody wants to carry me...

I'm in if I don't fall asleep.

Got your friend requests, though turns out I will be away from my PC for the rest of my night. But if you see me online at any point later this week I'm up for any trios/duos/etc in addition to the turians. 

Operation Supernova:

I. Legacy of Mordus (gold) 

18:53 - N7-Gerbil (250 971 pts) 

Super awkward gameplay. I've forgotten what's on all the gold waves, somehow. Will do the plat version in a bit because Salarians. 

Also: 

Bonus: AW_FC_1986´s first ME 3 MP game

3:28 - N7-Gerbil (3290 pts) 

Couldn't quite make it past w2 so I missed the bonus on this. 

perhaps instead of acting like children when their goldfish died threatening to post bomb other game sites throwing a fit.

perhaps acting like adults and enjoying the time left in the forums would be a more respectable way to finish out the remaining days of BSN.

Meh. Personally I don't see the point of post bombing other game sites, but what's left to enjoy? Seeing Bioware/EA treat their community like a vestigial limb -- and this isn't something that began with shutting down this forum, by the way -- leaves me with no desire to continue playing their games or purchasing future games, so there's not much more discussion to be had. 

*raises hand*

 

She's a classy lady and I'd love to see some more of her before these boards sink into oblivion.

I guess since the forums are about to descend into oblivion in another month now is the time where I confess that I do actually really like turians.

If poison strike wasn't completely inferior to biotic charge, that ability all the other vanguards have, I might like the cabal better.

I used to like it, but now I find it boring to use. 

Looks like I'm gonna need to fite some folks in here IRL

Oh noes muh lodestar!11!!!!!11!1111one

True, on the Assault trooper  hit and shields filling instanteously with Atlas in radius AF... that is a good explanation of that part.

 

On the phantoms always charging barriers first before continuing I'll check again tonight - but I remember them happily flipping even without barriers :

 

0:58 - Phantom gets dakka dakka but still have barriers on flip.

0:59 - Atlas get detontated

1:00 - Phantom in squad stance but without bubble raised.
1:02-1:04  - Phantom still in squad stance (the attempted warp on the Atlas hit the wall @ 1:03 and didn't detonate). The phantom goes into HardCover only at 1:05 - question is why she doesn't  storm and shoot concurrently from 1:02-1:05 even with zero barriers (in ps3 they don't wait for recharge, and usually bubbles up when aggrevated with power - and have full barrier after that).

1:19 - Two phantoms. Same story. One are stormed directly in the open, one on one, with both sides shooting, and the other one flips away and stands in the doorway together with a fully shield Atlas without shooting.

1:20 Valkyrie also stunned for 2 seconds,  but Atlas and Phantom in doorway justs waits

 

One possible explanation is that AF radius inhibits Phantoms to move on PC... will experiment tonight. Thx for the explanations thus far.

Phantoms don't always retreat behind cover when their barriers are dropped on either platform  -- in fact if they're in melee range they will keep advancing -- but they can be forced into it, which upon rewatch is more or less what happens in the video. 

At 1:00 that phantom wasn't in her bubble stance, she was recovering from a stagger animation caused by being in the BE  radius prior to that. Techno shoots at the phantom, causing her to flip behind the console. The phantom actually continues shooting twice despite that, but has no line of sight and is eventually crowded out by the atlas (and dies in a BE).  

At around 1:19 Techno only advances when one phantom has flipped behind the doorway after taking avenger fire. She gets melee'd just as she detonates a BE, which kills one phantom and staggers both the atlas and 2nd phantom.  During that enemy stagger window, Techno rotates her back to the wall (at an angle which makes it impossible for enemy crossfire to hit from their position) and retreats.

Supposed AI differences don't really factor into either sequence of events, it's more a matter of standard firebase white choke point control and attacking enemies in ways that limit the amount of aggro and control their movements, such as making one phantom flip behind a door before engaging the other and timing attacks to enemy stagger animations.  These are the same regardless of platform.

OT, My favorite weapon is still the Raider.
