The issue is that Banshee sync kills are sufficiently glitchy and random that you don't really need to make any significant error to get magnet grabbed once in a blue moon, especially as a close range brawler class (all of whom suffer in the metagame due to grabs being immeasurably more consequential than being downed by gunfire, and harder to circumvent by any means other than keeping your distance, which cripples close range characters).  If I get downed by some other source like gunfire or a brute charge, I always deserve it.  I always made some clear mistake and if I had made another choice, it wouldn't have occurred.  By contrast, Banshee sync kills often feel like a roll of the dice.  Maybe it's just a lack of clear information on how the mechanic works, but it often seems like it doesn't matter what I did.  I've been pulled through walls from huge distances, and that's on-host.

I have to say that I (playing on PC) don't really experience the long-range hugs that much. In fact, I can't remember ever experiencing it in a way that wasn't simply down to old-fashioned latency. Maybe I'm just lucky, but to me it seems like it's a bigger issue on Xbox *shrugs*

Anyway, while I don't disagree with you, I think the ability to instagrab you right after a teleport is also an issue. I mean, you said that it's hard to circumvent by any means besides keeping your distance. However, as Holmes explains it, keeping your distance doesn't really help either, because the chance of being grabbed goes up when she's in her teleporting state, and that's when she's practically impossible to dodge as well. I don't know how many full extractions became partial extractions this weekend because one of the team members was instantly grabbed by a banshee that had teleported in a milisecond before.

At the very least, if they had a forced cooldown between teleporting and attacking, it would give you time to dodge away. Keeping distance would be a reasonable defence. As it is, the only defence is luck.

Thx for info, congrats on job well done !

And forget about gossip-spammers, they are just trolls.

This a hundred times. You really can't avoid those amazingly stupid instakills right after a Banshee ported in front of you through a wall. That seriously is as cheap as it can possibly get.

Happened to me more than once this weekend, it's especially funny on wave 11. 

I'm totally fine with Banshee instakills being somewhat random, but as mentioned before, where is the point in it if you've not made a mistake and have zero time to avoid it?

Reading all 10 pages of this topic, what i find most astounding and interesting is the amount of people who are apparently too stupid to read the opening post. Cause 90% of the questions asked are answered right there...

Not saying people aren't stupid, but you do realise that the OP has been updated atleast twice by now, lastly no more then 14h ago.

 Good Job GP!   Just be aware of your voice when using the Chimeras.  They sound awesome, but sometimes I end up yelling into the mic on accident, because I can't hear myself.

Credit payout per round?
wave 3?
wave 6?
wave 10?

Was this answered or anyone got estimates. Potentially completing round 3 could be done in less time and effort than an entire silver game.

I don't know what it's like per round (I wasn't really paying attention to the credit payout), but it's over 130k credits for a mission success.

To OP:
You mentioned getting the 4 devices objective on wave 10, but what about 3 and 6? Had any chance to try out the new escort one on platinum?

I got to try it out once.  It seemed fairly straightforward.  You run to a spot, activate a drone, and escort it across the map.  Staying near it makes it move faster.

Would you say it's easier/better than pizza delivery then?

I don't think I'm ready to jump to a conclusion from that single brief experience.  Besides, how easy pizza delivery is kinda depends on the map/position/which character you are.  For example, on glacier with a character with a movement speed increase, pizza delivery is practically a freebie.

What happens if the drone dies? Can you rez it? Instafail mission?

I didn't give the enemy a chance to shoot at the drone at all, so I didn't find out.

While I've only seen videos, from what I can tell the drone cant die, its literally just a "mobile hack objective"... you stand within a short proximity and it moves, more players stand close it moves faster. So it'll have some advantages over a traditional hack objective in that you wont be able to be swarmed as easily, but when it reaches particularly open areas with little cover and rocket troopers or ravagers are blasting away, you'll likely be screwed. It'll also be awful if most of your team dies and you're forced to solo it, because it'll move so dreadfully slow (like hacking does currently)... unlike the pizza delivery in which you walk the same speed regardless, and can take better pathways.

True solo runs might not be too bad with this objective because it'll move plenty fast, and you'll be able to afford  to run away from time to time if things get too overwhelming in a specific location, but with a full team? It'll be a lot tougher.

I thought it might be something like that.  You should probably clarify that with an edit on the post in question that people are responding to.

i wasnt there, just saying, also you wre yelling and cursing at your team. thats what people were telling me

Okay, now I know you're just making BS up and trolling.  I never cursed at anyone.  I was yelling occasionally though, because yelling was the only way for communication to take place in such a loud room with players placed 15 feet apart from each other.  I'm sure Cal can testify that this is the case.

i just said thats what people told me. like i said its just heresay.

It's still somewhat rude to bring up.

Say you had a nice accomplishment; someone comes up to you and goes, "Well I heard you punched a child and then laughed at him to get where you are." Then when you get upset, "Well that's just what I heard."

You're just using a blanket to deflect any kind of snark you may get for going around and accusing someone of doing something. I heard you're a trash player and you talk trash to eveyrone around you, but that's just what I heard. Regardless of whether it's something you heard or something you actually feel about the player it shouldn't have been said and I think you at least owe the TC a straight opinion or an apology.

It's sad how petty things can get on this board sometimes.

in a team game he owes his teammates an apology. I heard it form a credible source. we'll leave it at that. people who play like that should be called out for being a poor teammate. I take nothing away from his accomplishment, just his poor sportmanship while doing so. Also why did the other 2 groups get full extraciton and him make it as a lone survivor? I'm 100% sure the source is credible

So I attended Comicon, played Platinum, and survived the extraction wave.  Apparently since our group was the first to achieve mission success, I won a Mass Effect 3 Razer headset.  Cool!

Did it include Collector Rifle code?

And I'm 100% sure that your source is not credible, and people who played with me and watched me play will back me up on this.  Your source, should they actually exist, is either lying or misheard something.

Yay, man of the (half an) hour!
So I heard from my closest and dearest friends that would never lie to me that you were cursing and shouting to your teammates while playing platinum. We'll just leave the fact that he is one of the best (team or no team) players on the game alone now, so you don't derail the thread and embarass yourself any more.

i think 6 nets you a little more or the same as a gold. the final payout (on my 2 runs) was 133-137K

It's cool that you need some attention, I get it.  Just make your own thread begging for it FFS.  I would suggest possibly a title like "GP SWEARS, OFFICIAL BW RESPONSE NEEDED" .

some of us are actually trying to get some information, and congratulate a good team/player on a job well done.
