I had some of the worst publich games tonight to date, really indescribably bad as in my Turian soldier carrying 3 Infiltrators in one game just as an example. Is it because of the contest?

[KarmaTheAlligator]

Most likely, yes.

I just had the best gold match ever with a random group.. was flawless.. perfect biotic setup! I am sure they are probably all members here haha

[Wesus]

Yes they are, and its not fun to have à team based out of people who dont have à clue

[MysticH]

Gotta be picky when searching up quick matches this weekend

[Theghostof_timmy]

Indeed...tried to play a match today, had the most random squad ever.
Me: Justicar, optimized for BE support.

Asari Adept...with a widow. Yep, that kind. Also carried a Geth SMG, just to keep recharge as slow as possible.

Human soldier with a GPS, and an avenger. Nothing inherently wrong with that because of the GPS, but not exactly a team class.

SI with a mantis and some assault rifle. Also nothing wrong with that, but he got fewer points than me, the support guy.

They weren't bad per se, though they clearly weren't used to Gold, and the complete lack of complementary classes killed us before extraction. Might be a long day tomorrow...

[SinerAthin]

Why on earth did they do this?

Highest required extraction should be Silver.

Why funnel all the less experienced players into the elite bracket? It's the recipie of disaster :<

[xtorma]

Imagine what non gold players will be able to learn from this.

[TheThirdBox]

Is there an incentive for playing Gold this weekend that everyone knows about? See Also : DERP!

Lock this thread please. Its like elevator small talk.

[ol MISAKA lo]

Had a match earlier w/ 2 Asari Adepts, as well as a Salarian Eng., while I was a Quarian Infil.
I suspect that none of them had played on Gold much or at all (speaking under assumption since none of them were above N7 -115, and mine was there combined x3.5 or so.)
I figured, oh WTH, they all have mics and seem intelligent enough. They were all asking me what was the best approach to beating gold, pretty much appointing me leader (noooo pressure there).

Sure enough, we did it on FBW-G vs Geth (Hey I thought it was the best option with our combined resources), and we were sucessful (full extraction, no less). I think the most risky thing though, was me sitting by myself in the hack points which were luckily both right outside the camp-spot to the right.

I think this is a good opportunity for less experienced players to intermingle and learn from more experienced (non-[censored]) players.

I want to try for that pack... only got through one match... and it was beautiful. Now I'm afraid of getting yelled at because I can't spam decoy fast enough.....

[BoomDynamite]

I saw a Level 7 SE using the Incisor I. I was kicked for trying to kick him. He wasn't even Silver Grade.

[Xaijin]

Yes, Yes they are. They're also ragequitting within the first two rounds.

[DragonRacer]

Oh, I imagine so. Normally, it takes no time at all to fill up a bronze lobby. Tonight, seemed like us bronzers had to wait forever to get Number 3 and 4 squadmates in a room. In public. On a Friday night.

Yup. As I sat waiting, I imagined there must be all kinds of pain and misery in Gold Land at the moment...

[SeaJayX]

Just played a match on glacier where they screwed up the enemy spawns every single wave.

Some of the worst teamwork ever....damn quarian drawing agro to me and then running away.

Used 10+ consumables just to fail near the end of wave 9.

LOL! The reverse effect, haha. I'd gladly join you for a bronze match as I need to relevel my soldiers.

[Trae ThaThruth]

Lol I've not even played gold today promoted all my classes yesterday for kicks now I'm busy relvling them so I prb won't get to feel the headache of the lesser players until sat night or Sunday afternoon

[IonSilverbolt]

Seems like about at least 1 person inexperienced per game so far. Finished 2 okay, but lost one on wave 9. All Cerberus. The game we lost, 2 people were not using any consumables, and one guy kept trying to lone wolf it.

[N7Kopper]

I've yet to step into any other Gold games than the first one I played (which I won) and in that match, even the squeaker who scored low was contributing to the team effort.

Even though I signed on for Operation Carry, I loathe to think about who might be waiting if I go on again...

[zeal.assassin]

I'm a non Gold player I plan on doing Gold tonight . Time to get my level 10 character ready. If I get kick I will keep trying till I find a squad.

[ClockworkSpectre]

I have been picky so far. Played 6 gold games and got extraction on 5, just really need to be picky. Although I did have an interesting setup and won, was a justicar, infiltrator, sentinel(turian), engineer(salarian), and not geth/white. The rest were pretty conventional setups.

Playing one pc, if that matters.

Indeed. The two to three games I played tonight, the players were bad. I mean, BAD bad... even for bronze. And not bad in that they died a lot, although I did feel a bit like a Revive Queen. But bad in that my Level 12 Turian Sentinel (promoted recently and re-leveling) was topping the scoreboard... doubling the score of the others guys... AND I AM A PLAYER WHO CONSTANTLY LANDS 3RD OR 4TH ON THE SCOREBOARD. ON BRONZE. REGULARLY.

So, if *I* was looking like a freakin' biotic god in the rooms... that meant something was horribly, horribly wrong. All the supposed "big fish" of bronze must've been trying to swim upstream in gold.

And I recognize you from the DA forums. Very nice. Hit me up on PS3 (DragonRacer13), will be playing off-and-on this weekend, would be happy to bronze it up with you. I only intend to try a gold room once or twice. Considering I don't enjoy silver, I don't intend to put too much time into this weekend's challenge. While winning a pack would be nice, the good players shouldn't have to put up with me for too long.

@DragonRacer

Just go for FBWhite + Geth + Gold. Even with the Decoy "nerf" you can still breeze through with pratically any combination of classes + a SEng.

The only issue I've ever had on that map outside of odd hack spawns that people just couldn't get to are when infiltrators decide that they must camp the "golden" cubicle. It's not a problem that has no solution, but it certainly makes things a bit harder for a SEng due to the fact that if he/she isn't in that cubicle, it becomes a bit more dangerous and time consuming to place decoys in that choke point properly.

That said, its doable regardless. Just run a SEng, and carry either a Carnifex or even a GPS if you can deal with a ~80-100% cd penalty. Either running with a GPS, its practically impossible to die due to the fact that you can recharge your shields every 3 seconds and almost every enemy will instantly lock onto your decoy as you stagger them with a headshot and/or your energy drain. If you aren't carrying a projectile weapon (GPS/Graal/etc) I highly recommend an AP mod as you'll have many opportunities to line up domino type shots and you'll see more than 10 Primes and triple that many Pyros.

They're never going to get better if they don't get the chance. For every two "bad" people that show up in gold this weekend there is probably one person who can pull their weight but never really tried gold before.
