Was in several matches tonight with high ranking N7 players (400+) and OMG were they crap/selfish players.

Basically if you went down they just didn't revive you. I spent most of the mission just rezzing them and when I went down they let me bleed out. Hell the one time I went down within fingers distance of this guy and what did he do... carried on firing and then MOVED AWAY FROM ME. In the end I just left the game in disgust.

Now was there a "Be a Selfish Git" event I was unaware of? <_<

Eh, don't take it too hard. Occasionally, you come across people who aren't worth th flesh they're printed on.

incorrect. N7 rating = epeen. Epeen is the most important stat in any online event.

This kind of post again. You can't blame all high n7 rated characters because you have a bad experience. Just get over yourself.

I am N7 625. I know you don't want to hear this however, sometimes it is HARDER to revive a fallen teammate then to kill the rest of the enemies. When you die, you drop aggro from the enemies that are after you and they go to another teammate. It is possible that the N7 players already had too much aggro and would have died if they stopped shooting and revived you. It happens and you should be aware, just because you can think doesn't make you smart. Try again, and do not take things to personal. It is a game. BTW: there is a lot of strategy in this game that I am still finding out about and I play a LOT more then you.

Strategy is one thing, and dickery is another. Since none of us were there to see what happened, all we really have is TC's story. While it sucks to be in that position, we don't know if the room was a crap storm or not. If it was, it's part of the game and i'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. If it wasn't, then the other players are to blame. Not for a high N7, but for being jerks.

thats just like life man, some people are jerks regardless of skill/intellect/wealth, and I think its the same in game.

I've played with high rated N7's that were great about reviving (when it made sense) and others that were terrible...

As another poster said, dont stereotype them all, same goes for low level N7's SOME of them are actually good/helpful.

Assume everyone sucks regardless of N7 rating even yourself. I'm up around 450 something I think and I still occasionally get killed by doing something stupid or getting surrounded all alone.

If your in a game an people are not reviving you don't blame them for failing to revive you, blame yourself for dieing in the first place.

-High N7 means you play the game a lot and you like to promote.

-Low N7 (less than 100) means you haven't played the game as much.

-An N7 equal to your character level means this is your first ever character.

-N7 120 is someone who has maxed their characters and never promoted.

-N7 150 is someone who maxed their characters and promoted once.

We can make some educated guesses about a person's skill level based on this information. It is not a reliable indicator of skill, but there is correlation (since experience tends to be positively related to skill).

N7 really only means two things for me:

1) As a means to fix characters because retrain cards are constantly avoiding me.
2) As a means to boost War Assets to make my second playthrough more bearable, since I'm sick of combing planets for every bloody race's lost artifact and Shepard's myopic vision requiring me to come up within two bloody feet of an item to retrieve grid schematics/heating stabilizers/unwashed panties.

I don't know why anyone else would use it as a metric of skill. Edit: granted, as the above post states, N7 = character level obviously screams newbie, so that much of a metric I can understand. But after 120 it gets muddled.

N7 never meant much of anything past 100 or so. The problem is that it's very, very easy to grind XP in Silver. From what you describe, it sounds like they were just bad, and there's plenty of baddies out there.

I will absolutely leave you dead for the three following reasons:

- I will get killed reviving you. This does not improve our situation, and I trust me to clean the room more than you.
- You died in a bad spot. If you're halfway across the map from me or in a horde, you can gel or you can stay dead. Your call.
- You die often, deal little damage, and there is some risk in reviving you given where you died this time. I'm not jeopardizing the team to rez an anchor.

To put it bluntly: you have medigel.  I expect you to stay down if it isn't necessary, and to use it if it is.

Im usually always field medic (quarian infiltrator) sometimes ive encountered a revive glitch, where on my screen it does the full revive, but the player remains bleeding out and the revive option is gone, i guess the game is registering a successful revive when in fact it wasnt. Maybe this is what took place?

The reverse is also true, high n7 does not equal bad. Met some great players with high N7 ranks. So basically N7 rank means nothing.

Context plays a very important role in such criticism. I often leave randoms alone to enjoy their death when they go down in a far off corner or charge into a battle instead of tactically retreating from it. Likewise if I were to go down behind cover while supporting the team, I would expect to be revived due to my position. To claim that N7 rank means anything when you have not provided the context of the argument proves nothing.

Please note that N7 is just a value that typically represents how much time a player has invested into the game. It does not translate into skill or legitimate tactics.

I revive as much as I can, too often dying in the process. But about an hour ago I was playing a round with some pretty non-team-oriented players (didn't do objectives, didn't res anyone, etc) and at Wave 11 extraction the Krogan decides to melee a full-everything undamaged Banshee and dies (not insta-kill tho). My Asari Adept is up the stairs from his dying body, wailing on the Banshee with biotic combos but she's literally standing on top of him and was at full everything. By the time I take her down, by myself, he's bled out.
I decide to stay with the group since I can tolerate some poor teamplay on bronze and we start the next mission. First thing Banshee-fodder Krogan does when we land is run up to me and start rage-blasting his shotgun in my face.

What the hell? I'm not running directly into a Banshee on extraction to res your butt because you thought you could melee an undamaged Banshee!

Am I nuts here?

Yeah i agree, usually means alot of time played not skill, i met a new friend at midnight launch at gamestop, so he had the game since it hit shelfs and he is still N7 120, because he doesnt want to promote, im thinking he might this weekend though, Anyway is always funny when we go with two randoms that ar higher than him, because he has unlocked some rare weapons, he has a javilin II plus almost a fully maxed geth shotgun and they always get pissed because they think they have played longer so they deserve it more than him  LOL

I only judge people if their N7 rating if it's <20. Otherwise, I don't care.

I'm N7 300 and in most of the silver matches I am on the bottom of the scoreboard, kinda feel bad about it, but I think it's just because everyone is focusing on kills, where I try to focus and what is happening around us, and make certain enemies priority (like ravagers), and of course I think I'm just not as good, like with a sniper rifle and such. Oh well just a game right? Always been near the bottom in most games I play :)

Although earlier tonight the whole team went down on wave 9 and I finished soloing it against 3 phantoms and a bunch of guardians and some turrets. Good thing I was playing as a shotgun infiltrator, it allowed me to get up in their face easily...

 Don't judge a spectre by his N7 rating :)

I usually look beyond the rating. What class is the person using? Is he switching class to fit the team/faction/map? Is he using the appropriate loadout. The rank of the weapons?

I'm pretty sure a high N7 score means I'm better than.

I'm pretty sure N7 actually rates your IRL status, including wealth, looks and power.
You don't want to mess with those guys, they are really legit.

The Higher N7, the better the player.

I am N7 400+ and I can guarantee that I will outperform anyone using an equal level class and race. Solely on the fact that I know more about the game than they do, from doing things for so much longer. I know exactly where enemies spawn based on your current location, I know exactly where each enemy type likes to take cover, and I know exactly how to do objectives.

96.5% of the time this is the case.

The other 3.5% is the rarity of someone who does not promote people.

If an even level (80) with good guns joins a game I will let them play since usually that means they just don't promote.

But if a level 46 joins, or 142 or something barely above an even number, that typically means he only promotes one-two classes. Especially if he has crap guns.
