Good games Slimjim, defleshing and our resident elcor Bob.

Good games to all of you as well. I know I made a couple of mistakes I normally wouldn't have if I were not half asleep. Oh well, at least it was only on Gold and we weren't going for anything serious. Also, glad I finally got my first UR to X. However, I still don't understand how it was the Particle Rifle, the RNG is a funny thing.

Slap that thing on a soldier and kill EVERYTHING

Already did and I am definitelty not complaining about it. Just find it off that the Particle Rifle is the second to last UR released at the moment and it is the first one I have maxed. Considering the original UR's I have are stuck at VIII or lower, it just doesn't make much sense that I could get X levels of this one as quickly as I did.

Also, didn't really kill everything with my Destroyer/PR X. I think that was more due to my horrible aim as I struggle to keep my eyes open.

Thank you for carrying me through my first platinum games
I use way too many medigels.

good games to live85 and stonebo1t for getting some more platinum practice in, it just gets easier and easier the more you do it. these were live's third-fifth plat runs, and he really picked up on the strategy quickly and did great.

bad, bad games to relix28 for jocking my paladin/acolyte steeze

I was using the acolyte + shield melee combo of awesome before you even knew it existed.

Pretty sure Gollum was the Vanguard for that  vile weapon.

Not entirely true. I still thought it sucked, until I tried it out for myself and saw just how powerful of a utility gun it can be on certain characters.

First platinum run ever on glacier... the other two were half-baked attempts on FBW

Oh, on the last pack I got the acolyte V and the piranha III. Not bad!

I'm still in the camp that the acolyte sucks charge mechanic sucks and you have to guess when it's fully charged

When will you be ready to pay the piper on our NCAA wager?

[Live85]

By the way, I caught on fairly quickly because I saw your speedruns on youtube. Those were extremely useful
Now, a question: on assassination waves everyone flies around the map killing everything in sight?

Only the targets. Once we have killed all 4 then it's clean up duty for the team. Other enemies are low priority until the objective is clear just like any other objective round.

Ops, of course... after the targets I mean. I was asking if the positions are random

@Live85
Being spread out is best. Where the target spawns isn't a big worry. Let the person who is closest and has the best angle take the shot. Try to keep a eye on the other enemies so once the objective is complete the team can clear out the enemies most effiecently. We often communicate where we will be going to clear so we aren't all in the same place. We will also give constant updates on enemy locations during the entire process objective and clearing.

Ok. By the way: I found myself shooting less than usual because I didn't feel safe enough with the GI squishyness.
Also, the proxy mine reload is way slower than the SI I usually use... there are other characters / builds I should try?

It doesn't take that long to charge up, and you can listen to the audio cue that indicates a full charge-up.

Imo, the Acolyte is best used as an anti-phantom sidearm on certain characters that have powers, that can either  knockdown or ragdol the Phantom once her barriers are one-shoted with the pink ******. It really shines on adepts with pull or singularity, since it makes short work of phantoms with a very simple 1, 2, 3, dead phantom combo. It also works well with other knockdown powers such as concussive shot, shockwave, throw or biotic charge.
As an alternative anti-phantom utility gun, I think the Scorpion is still a better choice for grenadiers, infiltrators and the rest of the characters that don't have the ability to immobilize phantoms.

A couple of more games with me and gollum, and you'll be using the Acolyte as your primary weapon on all your characters.
Also, we have cookiez.

Not sure what you mean by "proxy mine reload". If your talking about "cloak, proxy, and shoot cycles" they should be the same provided you were carrying the same weapons. Other characters that work well are the male quarians inf. you can go 4/6/6/6/4 which will give you more health than the geth inf. Demolisher, Destroyer, and Slarian Inf would all be fine choices. I believe the best combination for a speed run on glacier is 2 GI's and 2 QMI demonstrated in our current record run of 10:09.

I'll be on later today and can give you some real advice instead of that scrub AreleX who has passed his prime.

anyone wants to try a concussive shot only run on gold?

I'm not exactly sure either. It's just that with the SI The whole cloak-proxy mine-shoot-> cloak again feels way faster. Maybe I'll check if i'm not delirious on bronze.

What is your build on each character? If you took bonus power on each of them that may be the reason it "feels" different.

Nope, you're right. I just checked, and they're pretty much the same. Maybe it's the platinum effect
By the way: the SI should be useful too to trigger tech bursts with energy drain, no?

You guys and your Acolyte heh. I'll have to try it out more I suppose, but I'm not sure I can give up my Scorpion for phantoms.

[Live85]

I'm still online.
Come on, I need 3 brave soldiers to try a concussive shot only run on gold
