There are acceptable reasons not to rez someone.

Examples:
-player died in an impossible spot to rez...such as in the middle of a banshee, brute, cannible clustrerf**k complete with ravager overwatch.
-player's conduct is jeopardizing the team's success. I.E.-the stereotypical "I can solo god" vanguard that seems to follow me into every public gold match I go into.

I generally always try to rez people so long as they don't fall in one of the two categories listed above. I have run into clowns like the one's the op described. I would like to take this opportunity to state that people like that deserve to be kicked right in the daddy bags. You all mak multiplayer less enjoyable to anyone asides from your elitist or inept (or both...it is possible) private groups.

higher n7 means more experience, nothing else nothing more. if you wanna know player you have to play a few matches with them.

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've seen this happen, but only if someone tries to revive when the dead person is too close to bled out, if so you get the full revive bar, but I bled out before you finished so I stay dead

Those guys were selfish, they didn't revive ME and weren't helping ME and let ME die, they were selfish for not paying attention to ME ME ME.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of players like that. Nitwits who stand in front of the sniper, or body block cover, or kill combo-primed enemies, or focus fire Stasis enemies, and whine when nobody is in a rush to help them.

When the demo came out, the news of multiplayer just didn't register in my mind, I was 100% focussed on the story. After finishing the demo levels 3 times - I decided to give it a go. Now because single player AI is a joke, I searched for a game on silver (thought that meant normal difficulty) - didn't know you had a squad, so I went in by myself, level 1 silver Cerberus - died in approximately 1.8 seconds.

I'm like wtf? Then once my n00bishness subsided, played properly for a few hours. Seen rankings and I was ranked 35,000ish globally - with one week to go for the full game - I for some twisted reason, despite knowing the ranks will be reset, decided to get to the top. I don't know why, the sheer pointlessness of temporary rank didn't put me off.

Anyway, I got to number 7 globally, number 1 in UK - and now some dude is like 2000 on PS3 and I'm 267 I think - and now don't give a honeybadger's s*** about N7 Rating. I can only play about 5 games a day spread out - and that's enough for me.

Time dependent ranks are lame.

How about:

Accuracy
Revives
Assists
etc. etc.

Although assists half the time means a killsteal - used to be bothered by that, but after I got my Carnifex, I have to shut up.

Well, isn't it convenient that there's a promotion weekend coming up then?

Which I think is super lame. I'll just take my equipment pack from the community doing the work and leave my characters at 20, thanks.

This whole topic of N7 elitism has been beaten to death. There are some cocky players out there who get off to having an extraordinarily high N7 ranking. But all in all, its what they do in game that shows how good they are, and not some silly number. I've seen a couple of 400+ N7's go down almost every wave, who choose the worst load outs and don't equip any decent ammo, armor or weapon upgrades.

Yeah, they really should revamp this ranking system. When it comes to rank skills, kills, assists, revives and that sort should be taken into consideration, not how much time they just spend playing retarded bronze games :|

I think that there should be auto matching of teams. As a new player, I get into Bronze matches where I barely get near the enemy because of high level guys wiping them out before I can raise the scope to my eye....

I have been told not to worry about it, but I think that it is a major issue.

What else could you match people on? Certainly not level... the N7 DOES indicate the amount of upgrades and powers that are available, no?

Cool story bro.



2 men on Gold. Nearly 200k points. Only used 1 rocket.

Get on my level.

Wow Geth, on Firebase White, with engineers. Way to really go with the risky route. That 2-killstreak medal says you're probably lying about the "1 rocket".

I just finished 2-man gold geth today, two people disconnected on wave 7. I didn't know I was supposed to make a big announcement about it. Obviously I didn't think it was such a big deal to whip out a camera, though it makes me smile to think I accidentally topped your "big achievement".

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.

I've become more physically attractive, more charming, and I got a promotion at my job because my N7 rating went above 350.

it works bros

People may have considerably lower N7 rating if they choose to not promote their characters.

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.

N7 is a measure of time played, not skill. And even then, any N7 over 120 is meaningless. A 120 could have more time played than a 1000 and simply have never promoted. There is no way to determine the frequency with which someone promotes.

What is your assumption that people who do not promote are a rarity based on? The N7 rating is next to meaningless beyond 120, and the benefits of promoting are small at best. Not everyone is deluded enough to think N7 rating is a measure of skill or accomplishment.

Your theory for even numbers doesn't even make sense. Anything below 120 indicates the player has not maxed every class yet, and if they have not maxed every class then their N7 rating could easily be thrown off an even number by getting a character card from a pack. Even someone who focuses exclusively on one class will never keep an even number because of character card unlocks. And uneven numbers above 120 could simply mean someone is in the process of re-levelling a class, perhaps for another promotion. An even N7 rating means absolutely nothing.

Your complete inability to grasp the logic of such a simple rating system makes you unworthy of a Geth avatar.

I only notace N7 rateings in silver or gold matches and even then only if i see someone below N7 lvl 10

beyond that even character lvl can be a non issue in anything less the a Gold game
if anything a lower lvl character may actualy fight more cautiously and die less offten then I do .. As my main stratagy is to Krogan Slap anything squishy

Look at that dead horse over there you guys. It's kind of hard to see with so many people beating it, but it's there.

Seriously, can't there just be a sticky about this or something? The N7 rank debate is obviously never going to end.

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.

Forgive me but that's a load of nonsense, the priority to see the evacuation ship flying away is to try to revive your team mates almost always, under almost all circunstancies, a good player will revive under hellish conditions.

Do less "strategic evaluations" and use your guts, I will be N7 400 when I promote my six classes this weekend and when a comrade is fallen I fight to save him, nobody is left behind.

Only thing N7 means is how LONG they've played, not how good they are.

[NukaN7]

As far as my experience goes, N7 doesn't mean jack-****. I haven't promoted not one character, I just play my Salarian Infiltrator and honestly - the fact is that I am always the first in the end with my score usually 10k (or more) over the second person and I'm 95% of times the one with the lowest N7 rating (sorry if I sound like showing off here, it's just a fact). I've seen people with 300+ and running with crappy weapons and not handling Cerberus troops. To be even more honest I dont get the whole N7 rating thingy, people with some 300+ appear to me as kids who freak out whenever they promote a character so they can go scream to anybody about it. No offence.

[LoboFH]

N7 means experience and time devoted to the game, usually nobody spends too much time in an online game if he/she doesn't perform well, you can't get fun if you are stomped on the ground time after time. So we can make the assumption a high level player has devoted time, is experienced and is not a bad player in this game.

And no, to get the max score means squat, this is a team based game and perhaps the 3rd player was the key for the victory in a twisted situation of the match, or revived more or was more important to accomplish the objectives.

A high level N7 player can be bad and selfish...or a killing machine.

And same goes for low-level N7 players. Hence - N7 level means squat.

Pretty much. My N7 is 200 something and I suck pretty bad. Living proof right here.

Yes, it could be, but a low N7 level shows lack of experience, that's an important factor, let's not live in lollipop street.

They should start in bronze, is a nice practice ground, learn the trenches tricks and later join the real action...like everybody did.
