PUG 1: We tried our best, but just couldn't pull it off. They were using missiles early, I was saving mine for waves 9/10/11 but on wave 9 as I pulled out the missile launcher to take out 2 banshees I got insta-killed by one and we wiped. I felt bad about it, if I'd been quicker we *might* have made it.

PUG 2: Joined lobby. NO ONE ELSE had any equipment on. Not a thing. Vorcha Sent lvl 14, QI with a Widow X, and an AA with a Striker AND an SMG, Quietly left lobby.

PUG 3: No one over N7 50, no characters over Lvl 16. No equipement being used. Avengers. Quietly left.

PUG 4: Seemed good crew, 2 people talking strategy. Everyone had equipment on in all 4 slots. Good classes, decent weapons. Match went awesome - felt almost as easy as Silver (which I normally play, I never play Gold). Revives, teamwork, missiles when needed. Beautiful. Full extraction, squad goal done.


ON TUESDAY THE EAGLE V SHALL BE MINE! (weeps quietly)

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


True. Fastest creds I got in gold pugs. Might have to switch to silver the rest of the weekend thou. Can't start buying jumbo packs days before the release of the dlc and doing gold without most of the equipement slots filled... Well, I have crap gear for that lol. Although silver is kind of boring. I can solo silver on the novaguard in  the time that some pugs I had took to finish gold (30-40 minutes because the window to spam charge nova in banshees is so small)

EDIT: formating

Played some xbox tonight, there were actually a lot of people online who got the memo. I saw a lot of smashguards, asari adepts an turian sentinels. I also played with two BSN members SlimJim and BlueKaas, so that went pretty smoothly.

I wouldn't say it's been a nightmare but I've had much worse. I'll probably start playing on lower difficulties to help out the community though, I've only had about 6 full extractions.

I think the standard of gold pugs is generally improving. You can be unlucky but often bad players are easy to spot in the lobby. The upside of these events is that over the long term people that dont normally play gold are being exposed to gold matches and the general skill level of the community can only get better as a result. Once you get used to gold there's no going back as silver becomes boring and bronze is a joke.

3 out of 7 PRReGs wiped, but two of them had lag issues. So things may be a bit more challenging with fresh members, but on the whole, I'd say things haven't been so bad as other have experienced. Also, after one of the wipes there was a noticeable improvement, and we got a partial extraction (Brute-hugs in the LZ last seconds, my fault for not getting the  missile out in time). Additionally, there's a marked improvement in cooperation and skill from start to finish in several games, which shows people learning. To me, a new influx of Gold players is a good thing; less waiting around to find a lobby, more credits to spent for not ever getting the URs or even consumables that I desire.

This afternoon wasn't bad. You don't need excellent players, just average ones that are smart enough know when you use medigel and have awareness to know when to wait.

Last night, I've had some squadmates mates bust out there cobras when it was announced that it was the last remaining enemy.

I will vote to kick every player I come across using a glitchable weapon with no equipment.

Tried to join with my Krogan Sentinel to a bronze match to boost community score. Lobby threw a curve ball and dropped me into Goddess Gold vs Reapers without any equipment, just Grenade Gear V. And still managed to boost community score - kudos to the other three players.

Apparently Krogans are tasty morsels for Banshees as they kept chasing me all the time regardless of what i did - or then they really didn't like the lift grenade rain. Still, no lag, no impalements.

Ok...17 PUGs 10 extractions, 6 failures and 1 "damn nobody was in the circle".

Amazingly, first time I've ever done a sub 18 minute gold game...2 AA, 2 AJ all wielding level 3 or better warp ammo, the AJ wielding harriers....Firebase white...it was glorious as we literally were exploding everything....I think everyone only hit the mat once each ...

Think it's time for silver as I'm out of warp ammo and that really made the difference I thought...

It's still a nightmare on my end.

Am I just not ready? I don't understand it at all. At what point am I ready for Gold?

Do all my weapons have to be X to make a big enough dent in brutes, and banshees?

I'm so frustrated!

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.




In a team game you need a "leader", leaders lead....most players ive come across are not the leader(im not a leader as well) type and do whatever they want to get the game complete. I find it jaw dropping that if you say in a friendly voice "Please use your missile " over the mic....All the players whip out the missile and blast everything that moves.

I play on the PC, and 9/10 no one ever uses the mic, i think the entire PC community is a little passive and sometimes needs a guiding voice.

Banshees are much more annoying than usual. I seem to be grabbed by them more easily. It is even more buggy than normal. I can sit next to one for a while and it wouldn't grab me, but when I try to sprint by them I'll get 5-10m away think I'm safe and then my character stops and slides back to the banshee
