it's beuatiful

..Nuked, or my mind playing tricks on me *again*?

Had Vormav and rspanther drop by yesterday, thanks for the games!

Also, andy_3_913 we meet again hehe... Sorry, i had to bail was on the phone i have waited until w6 was over though. You lot probably let out a collectie sigh of relief anyway 'cause y'know my host and all

Well, ****... 

Thought by now should've calmed down and come up with some sensible thoughts and reasoning as to why..  

Fat chance though, all i got is

Well, ****...

And ditto with the Cerberus game

Thanks for both matches Andy, appreciate you sticking around despite bad lag! Sorry about the last match, been silly using Jugs to wrap up some of the loose challenges result was an identity crisis and marginal playbailty hehe... Have to say that was one mean Vorcha you brought to the party btw, well played sir! *and the extra style points for the High Lord Claymoar as the weapon of choce obviously*

Ran into MPApr2012 briefly.

 

Afraid the game was a bit laggy on my end, hence the Brute sync-killing me...but you'll be glad to hear after you left, the team actually pulled it together and successfully extracted.  More or less.

glad to hear  it's that after running into that bunsheehug myself i saw no intention from the other two to get the remaining devices.. so i hoped that wave reset will get them to their senses or at least give you an opportunity to do so with two active decoys 

Bumped into MPApr2012 again.

Goddess/Collectors.

 

GG.

 

(Sometimes I think I'm a bit masochistic )

good game indeed   was a bit painful seeing you soldiering it through at times - "is that Fury teleporting on purpose or just lagging bady i wonder"... well, iotic booms went off allright when needed and all so at least some consolation there hehe

I bumped into you earlier.

Ghost/Reaper.

 

Had to bail, was very laggy.

 

Sorry about that

no worries, completely understand... when i saw you started bouncing badly second time you joined decided to drop the host. at the very least you get consumables to keep this time, and all going well you'll have good folk join in

had two games with Pheabus2005(9) last two days, both times London and both times i botched extraction. third time is a charm though hehe. was good fun, thanks

OGryphon stayed for a game earlier today too and hey there was no spawn nuking, no counting the PUG going missile bonanza on wave 11, good game!

Here's one hell of a confession lol.

Found out I had testicular cancer last Monday.

And if anything goes wrong....

I love each and everyone of you mutherf*ckers.

Hold dat f*ckin line brothers and sisters

that's rough man thoughts go out to you and your close ones, stay strong

Hey there! Nice work with the paladin. I didn't mind the snapcheesing at all, the debuff is very useful. I didn't stay because of

 

[/spoiler]

 

rubberbanding, it kinda ruins the game when you have to wait in cover for 5 seconds after every roll. Might be related to those origin issues you mentioned, so I guess I should've stuck around the second time to see if it was still there.

That's shame about the lag!.. Could've been the Origin or just the sort of expereince you may get playing a NZ host if you're not from around our corner of the woods. 

Well, Dovakiin_N7 may be have been the latest subject to the pain playing my host is, had a Rippaz game with them earlier

Juh0M dropped in earlier, rocked classic human Infi with Black Widow. Not only they had to deal with Hazard White but also with snap freeze spammers... ahem, sorry.

Unfortunately I had to restart Origin after the match, having weird issues lately. And when the next time they dropped in again, did not stay hehe

Yesterday had Sentinel2010 and glycohalx stopping by for a match too

Shout out to loupert, between his Phalanx-wielding Valkyrie and my BatSol managed to wrap up a gold game against Collectors on white Hazard. Bloody impressive V gameplay and that tanking that hack on wave 10 was plain awesome! Good game!

also keep seing Junker1990 joining in in my games only to leave immediately. They clearly ain't that keen on playing on my host... Could be dreaded lag or could be my missile-happy messy gameplay hehe

Wishing you and your close ones all the best. Good luck with the treatment and recovery. Be strong and come back soon.

...So what about timezones and all? The N7 day will kick off around this corner of the woods in about 5 hours... So is this event taking into account full 48 hours of N7 day round the globe fun or tied up to some timezone and then +24 hours from it?

Out of the two, HA would be my preference... The power use discipline, great CC capabilities, general versatility and ease of use for HA outweigh the benefits of HS's added tankiness at least for me. I take it that's your PSN manifest under the same tag as your forum name? I'd go for Piranha (or Eviscreator or Scimitar) and aim for a mid-range/cqc style of engagement for venturing into gold... Something like this. Or if you're worried about squishiness then adjust to 66644

70 platinum solos. No wonder you don't think it's a problem, you're hogging the host slot just like I said. You spend a lot of time on the multiplayer forum right? I seem to recall that on a topic about people's most hated enemies somebody posted a video of a solo that ended prematurely due to a phantom gutting them. Problem was, a blind man could see that this particular phantom had already started taking other actions after her melee and was in no way primed for a sync. But that didn't matter because the game wanted him dead. I'll admit that a non-primed sync IS rare, but not the other garbage I mentioned. You see, I also have just a liiiiiiittle bit of experience with this game and I too know a thing or two about the sync-kill mechanic. Three years of dealing with it has taught me that it's broken. Unless, y'know, you're spending all your time as host doing solo runs. You're never going to win this argument. The game itself is far too eager to prove you wrong.

well that was a rather feeble trolling attempt... "hogging the host" eh... funny. almost sounded like you're trying to go all condescending on the person you were replying to and those people who put effort soloing the game. truth is it's often is that a capable solo player does know more than "a thing or two" not only about sync-kill mechanics but also the game in general (host or no host). I'm always keen to see a soloer on the field, means the game has much better chances to succeed. so chill and go easy on animosity, there's really no need for that... helps the blood pressure too.

And as for the little of the argument you were trying to stand up, you're still at the disadvantage - sync-kill mechanics still can be learned for the efficient gameplay, including common occurences where we have to adjust to the conditions of the match. Will this guarantee immunity from being caught in the sync-kill when the game decides to play dirty 'cause of lag or other, of course not but that doesn't make mechanics inherently wrong either

meh, i sorta like Sync-Kill and will miss them if they aint making a return in the next game... indeed the concept is punishing some playstyes more than the others (say a melee/cqc vs ranged) but that's not neccessarily bad from the risk/reward point of view. yep, it's heavily subjected to lag and glitches (here's a newsflash, - so is the rest of the gameplay!) to the point of being rage-inducing at times and even on host it has its quirks. all the same units with sync-kill capabilities bring added value to the gameplay and expects player(s) to take the mechanics into account plan and react accordingly

All three in one build? 66644 QFE /w Claymoar, Geth Scanner... Good damage, synergizes well with her powers and a bit more forgiving taking damage wise

Cryo-Ammo + Targeting VI combo works for biotics shotgun combos too e.g Claymoar wielding Huntress, Vakyrie...

EDIT: Just checked it's 66653 QFE...

EDIT2: Sometimes it pays to read earlier replies. Sigh

Someone told me to play with an asari and film it so I did 

 

Asari Vanguard 

 

16:58 | AT-12 Raider | Glacier | Cerberus | PC | TheTechnoTurian 

 

also... I will actually update this archive soon! I hope 

I would like this a thousand times if I could. Thank you for posting, and thank you for using the Raider. That didn't look like the easiest solo by any stretch, even a bit nerve racking at times. Funny how you got more killstreaks with grenades than you did your missile launcher.

Yay for Asguard with the Raider, ain't she awesome!..
Will be long time before i'd be able to get close to that timing, bloody impressive!

EDIT: Formatting/Quoting skills fail

What's with all the bad rap the Saboteur's getting anyway?.. I guess time to finally spec him and get those 200 waves complete...

On topic in general, plenty of powerful and fun kits among engineers. They're masters of tech explosions, debuffs, and decent weapon damage output. Pick a Hengie, FQE, GE, get a decent effect applicator, specc into all powers and you're all set. Volus played competently is a sight to see, well all of them are tbh. And then you have grenadiers (!) the demolisher girl not only she packs 2 kinds of grenades, but her pylon as well, also you can not care less for weapon cooldown too, Set MQE for detonation with his Arcs and he begins to feel almost as... dirty, as MQI. Then there's Talon abo... err, engineer with the Cain mines. I can't say much on Saboteur just yet but don't see how that kit can be terribad either

TLDR. How do i join, who needs to be sacrificed and in whose honour?

Underrated post. When we MP people complain about the game, we focus on things in the gameplay that obviously shouldn't be happening. When SP players complain, it usually has to do with their preferred character not getting enough screentime/romance option. And in quite a few cases, we take the initiative to fix those problems (or at the very least find reliable workarounds) ourselves if we can't get them officially addressed.

 

I play and enjoy both, but at the end of the day, it seems to me like MP players bring up more valid complaints than our SP counterparts. That's not to say there haven't been very good criticisms from the SP crowd, but they seem fewer and far between.

indeed, thanks for the psot bump. those very last posts on the page catch me every time 

I say bring on "openworld PvP" or, as close as one can get to it at least, pvp to the SP campaing too (make it optional if you want to). Imagine being able to enlist into a squad opposing the campaign protagonist(s)!

I hate when they put their bubble up. Bubble up uh, uh!

Eh?

Eh?

yeah, i know, slow day indeed... have a like anyways
