I agree with most but the weapon. Im not going to kick someone or leave because of RNG.

All your points are fair.

Also, I don't feel that its a particularly dickish move to exclude players from gold for legitimate gear reasons, mostly because silver is both more fun, and more forgivable to people who are either misinformed about their class, or just have a unique playstyle that doesn't synergize with others.

Because you're super pretentious.

The irony of this statement amuses me.
-
AA snipers:
Packing a light SR, e.g. Mantis X/Viper X/Raptor X etc. reduces cooldowns by all of .1 seconds at most times, so those should be allowed.

Vanguards with lead bricks:
200% CD isn't quite necessary on the non-human vanguards, they don't have nova so they can't do the immortality combo anyway.

Weapon levels:
I presume you mean this for the weapon-based classes? I'd hardly kick an AA20 if they packed just a pred I.

you do have some valid points but they are delivered in a manner and with an attitude that completely destroys any usefulness it might have been able to serve in educating the public.

no wonder you are forced to search for random gold games by yourself all the time.

perhaps you should go work on your people skills while the rest of us work on upgrading our weapons?
meet us back in 2 weeks? or do you need more time

I could probably sit here and bring you examples (including but not limited to Krogan classes) that completely destroy your argument that biotic combos are absolutely necessary for Random/Random/Gold. So I will say this (protip btw) : "reapers on a small map means you better have a competent team."


Yep. But again, do you feel it's safe to assume people in public lobbies are competent?


Sometimes, you just have to roll the dice. Of course its probably for the best to leave or kick the AA who totes a Javelin + Claymore.

  • Low-level weapons. Sorry. If you're rocking anything below level IV that's not an ultra-rare, you're probably in over your head. Go farm some more silvers.


So my Carnifex III on my Asari Adept doesn't cut it? I guess top scoring in a full extraction on Ghost/Gold/Reapers yesterday was some sort of fluke or glitch on my part?

Good luck finding anyone to play with.


So you're right; on an adept your weapon shouldn't matter much because you shouldn't be using it that much. More aimed towards the infiltrators I see with a Mantis II in gold lobbies. Seriously?

*edit*

OP, you do not even have unwavering, why the heck do you cry about pubs?


Cause I have awful, awful RNG luck on reactor and glacier. Small maps + upload objectives = you're gonna have a bad time.


Rockets and big effin guns

Also this

he isn't elite. He's so bad he can't beat Gold without everyone playing
ideal classes with ideal builds, and his OP indicates he refuses to
play otherwise. Sad

The answer is, you won't really know unless you play with them. It is true that you can make some assumptions from weapons loadout and consumables but those are as I mentioned assumptions and nothing else. I've lost games that seemed pretty ok in the lobby, because people would (for some very strange reason, to me at least) not utilize their best and greatest ability, aka the almighty microphone (at least when it was required). Last but not least, when I personally opt for Random/Gold I do so fully aware that I might get into a situation where I may have to carry a team (at least for 1 or more rounds). I do it for the challenge (and for me believe it or not, that is part of the challenge) and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. If I wanted just to 'win' or farm some credits, there is always FBW/G.

Right, having to carry the game for a round on gold is expected... just not every round.

Back in the days I would say yes... Now... I'm not so sure.

Thinking outside the box is hard. :(

I've seen so many rants of this kind, and almost all of them were BS.

This post, is completely spot on.
He is not being elitist or even jerk-ish.
He is telling it exactly like it is - people that play lots of PUG golds will know this.

Nope, if you've gotten both of those to X you should know what you're doing. I don't claim to know every build for every class; you could be really good with it.

Also I rarely kick people unless it's really, really obvious (soldier with a lv 50 N7 rating, an Avenger II and a Predator I.) But I will drop group and requeue if the entire group is just doing it wrong.

OP has a point with tech/biotic combos. Don't underestimate 'em. Also agree with the low level weapons thing. Though the RNG gods may hate some people...I know it hates me regarding the Carnifex...


I can sympathise with you there. I play AA 99% of the time for the last 2 weeks and all I have is Carnifex IV. It's frustrating enough to make me pick up something else to play instead of ME3.

Kumquats you've got me wanting to try a carnifex infiltrator... I'm assuming it can kill unshielded enemies from cloak with a headshot, is super light, and I could still use a melee damage mod. Definitely giving this a shot tomorrow.

the basic idea with gold randoms is that YOU CANNOT PLAY THE class YOU WANT IF IT DOESN'T MATCH WITH THE GROUP
