I have quit due to latency issues (If I'm lagging so bad I can't play on wave 1, I will leave).
In the type of situation you are describing, I just refuse to use consumables until my teammates shape up or we wipe.

[holdenagincourt]

Frustrating, but I think you set yourself up for that frustration by going into a pub match with a BE strategy while using a character that cannot self-satisfy. Lots of randoms don't know what BEs are, how they work, or that they're one of the best tools for Gold because of damage normalization. Not to mention the coordination problem with no one else having a mic but you. Maybe they got pinned down by Phantoms or another Atlas and needed help before they would be able to get to the objective.

This is why I never go with builds that can't both prime and detonate. I don't have many friends, so I want to be able to operate independently in pubs if necessary. It's always a nice surprise when people do detonate/prime for me though.

I know that feel bro (to OP)
I usually never ragequit..
but had a runin with the worst game ever ..


this was ridiculous in every aspect.. let me mention you..

a) Entered the an already running game.. IT WAS A GOLD GAME despite searching for SILVER.
was round 2 already.. as soon I spawned.. I had already a bunch of troopers and Centurions on my ass.. I almost died and had to use an ops pack as soon I took control of my char...
I was null prepared, no boosts.. no items.. had just a lousy pistol I was trying for the first time ( Paladin I with only 21 bullets)
c) We were mowed left and right, the ridiculous things started a bit later.. when atlas and phantoms spawned..
not only our powers were only registering 50% of the time, but we also ate missiles flying thru walls (in hydra), Then... An atlas who got who knows how.. above the first computer control room (flight control sector) ..when I mean above.. I mean on the FRIGGING CEILING.
rockets kept going thru walls as well, and it didn't seemed lag was the cause.., as we were not even moving!. we were in cover position.
we keep dying and falling down.. we still managed to last until round 10 ..
until.. 3 GOD DAMN PHANTOMS SPAWNED RIGHT INFRONT OF ME and a teammate.. plus with 3 atlases spawning in the other side ofthe map.. summed with the fact rockets still went thru wall, we got demolished..


My team hardly killed anything that round, they revived me like 20 times. that's for sure..

I ended with like 90,000 points, my closes teammate? 20,000 something...
I was an asari Adept, there was an engineer, a turian sentinel and a quarian infiltrator with blackwidow.

I ended being pissed as well, since after saving them as much they saved me.. they refused to use medigels..
I tried to save a few times more.. but nope.. we ran out of time (kill the targets.. an atlas..)

so yeah, I ended just saying "FXX this" .. let myself bleed to dead.. and get the points and went elsewhere..

God yesterday I got into a random match with my AJA and the other two guys a HS and AA were the stupidest biotics I've ever seen. The HS was using tech armor O.O REALLY? you have two other biotics and thats the class you use! and the AA, oh god, I wanted to strangle her by the end of the match she would ALWAYS put stasis up over my reave, every single time. When we got a 4 devises round these two num nuts wouldn't let the inflitrator do his Job. I don't know how we finished it but we did, good lord I hate morons.

Really..? I am sick of people who are like OMG how can you play Asari adept without any points in throw.
Who exactly said I have to do biotic explosions instead of statis everyone and headshot them?  There are no rules of how should you play classes as long as you are effective.

Not a problem with me, if you're as efficient as a Biotic Exploder.
But usually, Its like using a penknife to cut down a tree. Sure you can do it, but it takes ages.

Btw, I love detonating stasised targets. Muhaha. stasis my warped target? sure, Boom, and then I'll throw on each stasis you do, just for lolz. and anyways stasis still gets the points, so he shouldnt be mad.

This weekend, I was going around using Sabotage on turrets and Geth. Apparently some people don't know what Sabotage is, so they would just kill the things I hacked. I wanted to rage quit, but then realized that its partly my fault since I didn't have a mic connected to let people know what was up.

[Karih]

Today actually I has some nice games. I reave everything and other two teamates has ability to explode. When I see their carryload I first thought this is not going to be nice but heck! Two slow triggers is same as one fast trigger or even better!

Just only few days realized that vanguards actualy can be asaris very best frend. I reave ; vanguard --> zoooom- BANG! Today there are two vanguards banging their heads against banshee in silver and I try to keep in rythm and reave as much as bossible. It went well. Banshee even lost hers grip at least two times when biotic explosion started.

Sure. I like BE but I do not like elitists who say it is the right way to play like that because they said so

[waltervolpatto]

Funny thing the other day I joined a rand/rand/silver and there was already three ppl... (Me with mic, the other not...)

AA/AA/ me (AA)/TS. I look at both AA and I see trow/warp, I switch to AJA. Check again all switched to AJA... it look that they know how to detonate... we switched a couple of times until we found a balance: DA / AA / and me AJ...

was a beautiful boom boom game..

In another note, I need to apologize to someone last night because It took me 5 wave before to recognize the sabotages he/she was doing... (too busy spamming warp/stasi/throws...) ....

Yeah this is what I do as well.  It needs to get really bad before I will rage quit.  A few credits are better than nothing for time spent.

[Conduit0]

I feel for you OP, I've had a number of situations like that as well.
Infact just yesterday I was playing on my AA, joined a lobby with an HS in it, so I switched to my AJ, figuring we'd make sweet booms together. Nah, he'd only shoot at the enemies I'd reaved, and sadly I couldn't detonate his setups because he never used warp once the entire game.

I don't call that effective.  You could headshot with a carnifex X or paladin X and have +200% power recharge speed and detonations.  You'll kill more stuff with the explosions added in and you'll save a team member from getting gutted.

I don't care if you have the best or worst aim in the world.  I don't care if you make mistakes.  But, obstinate nonsense, I will not tolerate.

I don't ask for a lot.  All I ask is a basic understanding of the game and a willingness to work together.  If you want to do otherwise then you'll do it without me and I don't care what you think about that.

It's getting harder and harder to find decent players.

My impression as well.
Interestingly enough, I got the best matches with my AA/AJ when there's a Human Sentinel around. Biotic Artillery at its finest. Might just be luck but it seems this class somehow mostly attracts good players. 

[nicethugbert]

I just got one of those matches again, mutes that can't stop running all over the place while I'M their decoy. I was holding down a spot, reactor geth gold, bombarding a Prime. They were behind me. They left without saying anything. I got stomped from behind and I didn't see it coming. It's not like I was goofing off. I was taking down a Prime and they just felt like moving on without saying anything. So I went AFK for the rest of the match. Thanks for the credits ****s. Buy yourself some more medi-gel.

I usually don't rage quit, I just don't use medigel if I die after I'm the last one standing (especially when I'm playing support classes like an engineer) so I can at least salvage some credits/exp from the match. Of course, sometimes I succeed in completing that wave, though usually not.

That's because a lot of the good players are bored and moving on. I have, I am only here because I like some of the people here and because these forums are far more entertaining than actually playing the game anymore.

Just too burned out...

Hes back he's back I thought we lost u forever 

[tzabaothg]

I constantly see stuff like this.

If I join a lobby and there is an AA or HS/TS I will go DA and rarely AJA.

If there is DA/AJA I will run AA or HS usually.

More often than not once we are in game the other biotic does nothing useful. They either refuse to detonate Reave's or spend the whole match dropping bubbles and AR'ing stuff.

I have even had lobbies where I enter as GI/SI and see a biotic. So I switch to the other biotic and they jump to engineer. So I switch to a tech class and they jump to infiltrator. Then I go back to infiltrator and they again go back to biotic. Stupid.

For a minute, I thought I was the Turian Sentinel in this game, but then I realized that the Gold match I scrubbed it up in was against Reapers, but otherwise alarmingly similar.  I was level 14 and I was searching for a Bronze match and it dumped me in wave 3 of Gold Reapers, and I couldn't kill a darn thing.  It was really frustrating, I tried to be as helpful as I could and standing there and drawing fire was probably more helpful than quitting.  At least the bullets I took were ones that other people didn't, I would have told people not to revive me, but I didn't have a mic.

Is the polite thing to do, when the game dumps you in Gold when you're not looking for it, be just to quit?  I'm not very good at MP and I never do Gold ordinarily.

the silly part is, I didnt noticed it was gold until we didnt make much of a dent to the enemies, despite biotic explotions everywhere... more because half our powers were not registering properly after that round (round 6-7 I think)

and perhaps it was you.. because a guy ragequited at round 3-4 (another engineer, I think a female one)

How dare you expect an asari adept to have points in either warp or throw! If a person wants to play with 21 unspent skill points that is their right! They payed for this game just like you. Next thing you know, you'll be expecting drell to have AoE reave, SE to have decoy, and infiltrators to have cloak. Stop being an elitist!

YES, they have a right to SOLO with whatever setup they choose.  But when they join a lobby then the other players have to carry the game so that the one out can share on the same credits???

NO, THANK YOU !!

I always host silver and gold matches and I ask kindly if they see anything wrong with their setups. If the players already on the lobby agree then the player has 3 choices: CHANGE, LEAVE NOW or GET KICKED.
That is not being elitist.  If anything, that is being respectful towards the concept of "teamwork" since it only increases the chances for collective success and the satisfaction of completing wave 11. 

If they refuse to improve their setup and act like selfish boneheads then I just add their IP to my filter list and their name to my notepad beside my monitor (so I can remeber who they are at a future time).  Its just that simple.  Shape up or ship out of OUR lobby.

[megawug]

I like to switch to AJA as well when I see an AA in the lobby. Unfortunately, not every player seems to understand, and I end up following the AA around as he/she essentially goes solo. Sigh.

[Drummernate]

Technically my level 8 Infiltrator can out damage your Justicar... quite easily.

Put the right points into cloak, and hunter mode with a tad of networked AI and you can have a DPS monster at a very low level.

Especially when I am using my Saber VII or Javelin IV since I get fire rate, and Geth weapon bonuses.

That is no reason to leave a match unless he is being totally obnoxious.

[Shakuua]

Adepts are the hardest to play if you don't get some cooperation from teammates. Infiltrators are the opposite. Also, I agree that although having a team with microphones is ideal, it is not essential, so long as they don't turn off the voice chat, meaning they can at least hear you.

Add me if you want to have a good time on Gold: Ankila.

[ZoeBoston]

If I find a team is really bad I have no issue quitting by round 2 and I don't consider it rage quitting. Sometimes you get unlucky or just a bad combination of players and it is better to cut your losses and find a better fit.
