Really ugly one this morning - used all 5 medigels and missiles, but got out with a partial on Gold reaper Goddess. I am still liking the Gold PUG experience though - definitely a challenge. Off to buy a jumbo pack now...

i joined a lobby and someone was readied up with the geth pulse rifle equipped. these noobs are on a whole new level this weekend.

Can you explain  yourself?
What's noobish in that Rifle?
Sure it doesn't melt bigger boys like a Claymore does, but I can assure you the kid does his own.

Came home from work yesterday, jumped into a RUG lobby with 3 Russians (who all had mics and knew each-other).

I felt like I was intruding a little, but then I was the only one that could actually deal with the banshees in the end. Vorcha Sentinal with a Claymore and Warp Ammo = win!

We managed a partial extraction, despite some hiccups

[DarklighterFreak]

It looks like every farmer w a gun has jumped to the U/R/G matches... it's just awsome, i have run out of medigels bcos of those teams not understanding that u cannot camp w reapers...

[Kuato Livezz]

I mostly play pugs, but its normally not this bad. I'm not saying that I'm a great player, but I think a lot of non gold players are making the jump for this operation. We've all made that jump before so I think this weekend I"m just exercising a more patient and methodical game style.

I guess I got lucky too, got in a team with 2 excellent players (with N7 levels below 500), 1 was a Novaguard, the other a Phoenix Adept. after a few matches I decided to increase their potential and my own and switched to my offensive Asari Justicar, and after that things went quite smoothly, reaving the crap out of anything. I had approximately 10 matches in a row with the same 2 players (and a random 3rd one), and 9 of them were Full Extractions, on Gold...

Reapers/Random it was!

I was in that match. It was a good surprise. I was expecting to do a lot of gold matchs to wave 7 (as has been usual this week) until getting a pug that could finish the extraction. Ended up getting 1million credits by doing gold random reaper without stoping which is a lot better than I was expecting (already counting expenses for jumpo packs). Now if only my luck holds so I can get the slayer...

Even a fellow forumite, great to finally having play alongside one in-game. I think we did pretty well last night? Easy money 

[Baerdface]

2 claymore human soldiers (me and some other guy), Drell Adept and Asari Adept. We cleaned house on Firebase Giant. Cheers to those guys.

And in general, had great success playing with randoms, won 6 gold reaper matches today in a row. But I take my time when setting up lobby, I make sure everyone has decent gear and that classes synergize well.

Don't just start a lobby, wait for it to fill up with whomever and start the game. Never works out very well.


EDIT: btw actual N7 level doesnt mean s***, a guy could just read up character builds/tips on forums and build it well from the start, then there would be no reason for promotions. I know a guy who stayed N7 150 since March and is really good at the game and has decent gear.

my first match was a PUG on firebase jade had to use all my missles but we did it except for 1 guy who got grabbed by a banshee

[Archonsg]

PUGs are fine, even non Biotic classes can do well on Gold-Reaper as long as everyone work as a team and know for example to take out Ravagers, not run off solo in hopes to get kills only to die alone and deep in Reapers, and actually use rocket launchers when needed.

As mentioned above, a player with a high N7 score but runs off to be "Rambo" is less useful to someone who works with and contribute to the team.

My own N7 rank is in the 3000++ range, so yeah, it is a pretty hollow rank and doesn't really indicate a person's skill. Just how much a person has been promoting characters.

It's actually pretty fun playing with lots of newbies to Reaper Gold.

Usually when you play Gold it's just people who know how to do it.

[ChurchOfZod]

My first attempt was with a surprisingly awesome PUG team on gold. We were wrecking **** and I had all my equipment left on wave 7. Then the goddamn game froze. A few awful failed attempts later and I found another killer team. This time it froze on wave 9. Finally got a partial extraction a few hours later. Hope it counts.

I also hope one day to enjoy a Mass Effect multiplayer experience that isn't so goddamn glitch and bug ridden.

[Zehtuka]

Yea, the PUGs I had today were a total disaster.

[kww75]

Was in a very good pug right at the start today, everyone was awesome with a capital A. Then did a few non-reaper ones don't think the leader knew the weekend stuff had started.

Went to sleep, then got on when most of the Russians were playing (judging from their voices), and that usually means bad lag for me cause if the host is in Europe (including Russia) for me my connection to them is like a frigging black hole in terms of suction! .

It doesn't help when it looks like I'm the one carrying the team when there are two asari adepts in the team (me on a krogan sentinel). Had to solo wave eight, not entirely sure why no one revived or rezzed. Had to waste three Cobras killing four banshees (got two with one) (Yes I don't normally touch my cobras till wave 7 normally on gold when the banshees are spawning like crazy). Everyone is back on top for wave 9 and 10, I'm thinking maybe we might make it. Then on the extraction wave get cornered by two banshees with me trying backing off and wondering why I couldn't move, I get instant killed, dead I noticed it was one of the Asari stood behind me not allowing me to move, I was like ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! Asari gets incapped by the one behind, revives and gets instant killed because they revive immediately with two banshees on top of him/her. If you think that was a head butting moment wait till you hear what happens next. With twenty seconds to go, Asari 2 gets taken out by another banshee. And the somewhat impressive (not) Vorcha who used all his cobras on wave 3 tries to run past a brute to the extraction point with a ravager shooting at it! He gets killed and considering he's used all his consumables by wave 4, there was no chance for him! If I wasn't bald already I was gonna be. No point me screaming down the mic!

Just let out a huge sigh and try again!

The **** is up with the manetichands today? playing as a SI i got grabbed 3 times in a row trying to revive people while cloaked. Never had that problem before...

Oh well. I completed 3 reaper matches on gold so far so i'm ok.

[Midou-Kun]

PUG's are a crapshoot. Been more lucky this weekend on Gold though. Mostly partial extractions, but came out 6/6 on Gold runs. Oddly enough though, my only game where we all wiped out was on Silver. Weird.

Gonna promote and spam bronze and silver to help out with the allied goal. I needs me that medigel count improvement.

Yeah, it feels like they have buffed the magnets. I ran past a Banshee, only to be pulled back, all a cross the map 10 sec later... What!!???

[Waydeen]

so what we really need is 6 missiles, not 6 med-gels

We need our characters not to be magnetic:lol:

 My gold group got it the first time, but it was rough.  And we used rockets.  Lone survivor, but we did it and it was a PUG on PC.  

Edit:  Just did a gold on Firebase White, PUG, 2 asari adepts (me +pug), 1 Drell adept, and 1 MQI.  We got a full extraction. Biotic explosions rock.

I noticed that infiltrators tend not to use missiles when necessary. If you have mic tell them.
By the way, I made 3 successful PUGs in a row, so it depends.

Yup, they love to take 10 minutes to kill one enemy with their Widow.... too bad they always miss 90% of their shots.

I've also noticed that the banshee's seem to be grabbing you from further away than usual....  admittedly I don't play Reaper gold that often but I've had situations where I've been 5 or 6 strides running away from them and they've pulled me back

[Yubz]

Nightmare would be an understatement. Today made me hate this games multiplayer. Took me over 2 hours to find a group that wasn't completely retarded.

I think I've seen it all today:
Krogans headbutting Banshees
Adepts playing with sniper rifles and not using any of their abilities
Nobody using medigel or rockets
People running off on their own to die on the other side of the map
People playing soldiers (lol)

The bugs and cheap mechanics in this game didn't make it any better: banshees grabbing you over half the map, getting stunlocked to death and abilities simply not working.

Now excuse me while I go cry in a corner to somehow process this terrible experience.

[Osmethne]

If you know what you are doing - like a Claymore infiltrator you can range across the map - if you're careful.

I was doing it yesterday on a duration FQI - made it so much easier for my team-mates to survive, when they only had 2/3 of the mobs coming for them, instead of all of them.

[Photonkun]

Yesterday PUG's wasn't so bad. Did 2 out of 4 gold run. First 2 run sucessfull albeit partial because 3 out of 4 people used all their slot mods.

On the last two. One died at wave 3 because game jumped me right inside the game without letting me fill my mod slots and some players using subpar weapons. And the other one only 2 people used the mods, me and another player, and died at wave 8, too much to handle.

[Bleachrude]

Up to 15 now, (helping out friends), weirdly, I've only been 3 for 7 in these last 7 gold games.



15 random PUGs
1 dead wave 3 - Firebase Reactor...Yes, wave 3, what the hell happened you ask? Beginning of round, it's a pizza delivery and I got sync-killed by a Banshee that I literally was around the corner hiding from...I think it literally pulled me around the corner (you know that little sidewats room before you turn the corner from the left side of the LZ). Team collapsed soon after for various reasons.

1 dead wave 8 - Firebase Condor Toughest map in the game and I actually was down to 2 ammo clips on Wave 8...Gold reaper + harrier I + condor = no ammo in the worst places (good thing I carry a GPSMG with ultralight mod)

2 dead on wave 9 - Firebase Dagger (nothing special...just got overwhelmed), Firebase White (I'm stunned we actually reached this far during the game...Had a krogan sentinel who constantly tried to melee 2 Banshees?!?!?!?!...)

1 dead on wave 10 - So close but so far...Would you believe all 4 of us got sync kill? You're not? But have you ever seen an entire team sync killed by a Brute??? I swear, the same damn brute picked up each one of us and slammed us around....We actually laughed about this one....Probably went back in and got partial on Ghost...

1 Lone survivor (me) - Ghost

1 (nobody in circle but 2 people still on their feet - Does this count as an extraction?) - Hydra
4 Full extractions - 2 Giant, 1 White, 1 Jade
3 Partial extraction - 2 Giant, Ghost

No game took longer than 25 minutes either....Best gold runs I've had in a long while...
Dagger and Giant are your best bets and make sure everybody has warp ammo.... [/quote]
