I have around 300 N7 ranking because I've been trying different builds. I'm on Turian Soldier #5 or something. Usually it's fun to experiment with different builds and see if 4 points in one skill vs 5 points matters or not or to figure out things like comparing a character on Gold setting with or without Fitness or another ability.

That said you throw me in an Engineer and I'm not going to perform very well comapred to the classes I do play consistently.

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...

*shrugs* I have a fairly high N7 rating, but RARELY top a scoreboard, but then again, I usually just skip past that part. I'm more a team-oriented, support/objectives-first/revive/set-up-combo's type of person. If someone goes down I do my best to revive them... but if my team-mate goes down in a small room, with a Banshee, and 2 Brutes.... I'm not going to charge in and die. I'll try to snipe away with whatever I can, and do what I can to get to the person in time, but 2 dead does the team no good at all.

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.

Meet are just taller, faster and stronger than most. You deny N7's importance because you are jealous. Why should I risk my blue blooded neck to revive a peasant like you?  Honestly, you should know your place.

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.

Your argument is invalid because I figured out all the spawn conditions by the time my N7 was ≈60. I just promoted two characters and my N7 is now 155. I was doing Bronze challenges today leveling those two classes again, and in one game with three others ranked an N7 400+ using level 16+ characters, I was able to outscore all of them by about 10000 while I was using a level 5 character.  Not that individual scores matter at all in this game since everyone gets the same rewards in the end anyway.

Agent_Dark_ is absolutely correct. N7 is nothing but an ego boost and says nothing about someone's skill. It just tells you who has been promoting the most characters.

By the way, I saw a N7-880 today o_0

I've promoted my characters only twice. My rank is about 140. I don't see the point in promoting at all.

this thread is dumb.

also if the guy didnt revive you it was prob because you were doing something very annoying.
like standing in their face so they cant see anything. maybe it was stealing his cover spot. it could have been you keep killing his combo targets.

all those will make me not revive you either. i am N7 570 atm, and it doesnt mean any thing. you trying to making it into something is stupid.

play the game with common courtesy and you will see people actually help you.

[Cyonan]

N7 ranking means pretty much nothing besides how much you like to promote your characters. An N7 120 could play more than an N7 600 but he never promotes characters.

[Kamuchi]

N332 or something, only promote my characters as i have no reset cards lol
Wish i could reset the N rating tho :/

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?

I think this happens when you start the revive but bleed out before the revive finishes.

Doesn't starting a revive stop the bleed out timer?

Visually the circle bar stops moving, but I'm not sure if the timer is still considered as running during that time.

Should have stayed in the match and showed them up.
Unlike those jackasses I'm always the highest N7 rank in my matches and I always get top score on the board along with going out of my way to revive teammates dispite their silly little actions and thought process.

You should have sent them a match and told them to quit spending mircosoft points for skill cause it doesn't work like that.

**EDIT**

ALSO! 
I propose we start writing down jerks like this and start SPAMMMING! them with hate mail. (:

Some of what you said is also from instinct and just having good awareness and doesn't really require to play much of the game to understand how to be a good player. I only have an N7 rating of 40 (only 2 lvl 20 characters, never promoted). I use the same one over and over (becasue I like it) and don't care to promote. I already have plenty of youtube videos of my low level 30-40 something N7 rating beating players who are N7 200+ with better weapons by more kills, assists, and headshots. N7 rating really isn't that relative. It's like Halo Reach ranking system, it's progressive and being an inheritor in that (playing a ton) means absoluetely nothing skill wise at all.

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.

I was in a group earlier today where I got knocked out and literally two other players just basically stood around while I bled out. They weren't even shooting at anything. Then they proceeded to get owned by the rest of the wave and we failed the mission.

I don't recall what their N7 rank was, not that it matters. An **** is an ****.

If you hate them for not ressing you.. get revenge by relaxing and chilling while they do all the work for you.

[veramis]

Most of the high rank players I've seen beeline to revive people if they think they can do it safely. You must've done something wrong if they wouldn't revive you, like spam shockwave which shakes their screens like crazy. 90% of the time in silver/gold, high n7 rank players (say 60+) will play better than low rank players, and high level players better than low level. There's certainly exceptions sometimes but they are quite rare on public silver/gold matches.

[EG NeoMorph]

I'm not sure some of the "Get over yourself" comments even read what I put... These high-ish N7 players were being a dick TO EACH OTHER. Basically they were not rezzing each other just so they could get extra points.

What I meant was that some low level N7 can actually play the game better than high level "Screw You Buddy" N7 players who do nothing but block your shots on purpose and refuse to rez their teammates. I am only at 140 something because the dumb game locked me out until I managed to get the damned thing fixed.

Also there are some people that just don't promote because they don't want or need to. For example a level 120 might have been playing lots longer than someone who is a level 1200. Like I said, N7 doesn't mean diddly squat.

It's the same with kill stealing... it's supposed to be a damned team game not a "Who can cause the most annoyance to a teammate. One game I refused to kill anything unless I had to and just went for the best assist level I could... AND STILL I GOT TOLD I WAS KILL STEALING. I didn't even get a level 25 kill count on purpose heh. I was just freezing the crap out of the enemy to make it easier for my teammates.

Oh yeah... and finally.... this one level 650+ got killed because he kept standing in the middle of a broad open area on Giant and didn't even have the brain cells to take cover. Just goes to show how good these high level N7's are. So "The Higher N7, the better the player" is total bull in my experience (been playing computer games since the 70's so I kind of have a bit of experience out there). Been playing online since X-wing vs TIE Fighter came out...

So "get over myself"?... I'm not the problem here.

P.s. there is one game out there that amazes me for excellent teamplayer cooperation. That's Syndicate. Players seem to really push to help each other. Just wish they would patch the damned game from crashing all the time. What is with EA games lately.

[veramis]

I think you're hallucinating, EG NeoMorph. Most of the high ranking n7 players I've met on public understood the game mechanics. Most of the sub 40 rank players or sub level 10 players ran around like headless chicken.

Just like you can come up with examples of bad high ranking players, I can come up with examples of good low ranking players, but the thing is, statistically high ranking players ARE better than low ranking players. You're struggling against the wind if you're trying to convince us that high rank means nothing.

This post made me laugh.

1. I don't do annoying. I hate playing Vanguard or even attacking someone another player is attacking. If they are having problems I will back them up though.

2. I don't steal cover spots. I hate crowding and try to give my teammates space to engage the enemy and take cover. Ironically I had these other players crowding in FRONT of my cover after I was about 30ft away from them. So I moved to another spot and then they did the same again later. Then they started going dying and I kept rezzing them... yet they refused to rez each other. Nice players.

3. I don't even spam shockwave. Don't think I've ever used shockwave in a game of mp yet.

4. You say "Play the game with common courtesy" and you start your post off with "This post is dumb". <_<

It was only two games (one after the other) where this happened... then the rest of the night it was fine. I have had numerous friend requests after playing and when I was trying out my Vanguard class I was actually complimented on playing one and not being an ass while doing it. I basically used it as a rescue class who charged enemies who dropped teammates and rezzed them. EG stands for Ethical Gamer because I would rather help my team than be a dick to other players.

[JGDD]

I make judgement calls on revives. If you are a bit loopy and run into a swarm of whatever then enjoy your rest while I finish shooting things. Same goes for the roamers that die two miles away from everyone else. However, if you are blindsided and reasonably nearby and I can get to you I will. Might have to take care of whatever nailed you first so don't panic and wait if you can. I will rez you. Sometimes Cerberus curb stomps dictate using your own medi-gel in a pinch.

One class I go out of my way to revive during gold Geth runs are Salarian engineers down in the mosh pit at the bottom of the ladder on White. Their decoys are vital to keeping things at bay and when they are down and not spamming the clone things can get ugly in a hurry. I will even stay down there until the wave ends helping them out if it is really tense.

[HKR148]

When I see a guy laying on the ground with 6~7 enemies; I tell the guy "sorry I have to clear those things out first before I can even get to you for sake of the entire team."

I meant that anything over 120 is pretty much useless when comparing ability. A 120 and a 1200 may both be good players but it's also possible that the 120 might be a lot better player than the 1200 or vice versa. You just cannot tell. I saw the 400+ N7 ratings and expected the players to know what they were doing... these idiots ran around like headless chickens half the time.

Oh and these headless chickens were just ignoring the bodies right next to each other while I was over 40ft away and came over and rezzed them while the other teammates just chased after the kills. It doesn't take long to rez and adds extra firepower to the fight. If I can rez I will... these gits ignored players in front of them while they were safely in cover right next to them.

Does he happen to be the other guy in that game? If not, that screenshot is entirely irrelevant to your argument.

The fact that you are a high N7 level does not make you good, nor does being good make you a high N7 level.

It just means you like to promote things more than I do.
