Yeah, it's weird considering the N7 goes up for every gear/weapon unlocked, meaning he had to get reegar drops back to back and with few things else in between

No, it doesnt.

Well i've played a bunch of silver and gold matches in recent days / weeks, if you finish the round, it adds some points in your N7 from that alone.

This is where you're making the mistake. It appears that you're using characters that are less than 20 in level, and at the end of the match you're also gaining experience and leveling up. Leveling up (a class) adds to your N7 rating (as does promoting a class). Finishing a match by itself does not, although you do gain experience. When you promote a class you add 10 to your rating and put that class back at level 1, and when you (re)level up back to 20 from 1, you add a further 20. So every time you promote a class and level back up to 20, you add 30 to your N7 rating.

Which means basically that having a lower N7 rating does not mean that a person has not been successful in missions.

There is no connection between having a higher N7 rating and having higher-level N7 weapons. Having higher-level N7 weapons means that person has simply unlocked those weapons via packs.

I've not played multiplayer for long, maybe started a month and a half back (you can see that I've also not participated in enough weekend events). For a long time my N7 rating was < 200. Only recently I started promoting characters when I started experimenting with them. And as you can probably see, I only have 3 respec cards - I almost never get these from packs, so I assume they could be rare. So now my N7 rating is in the 380's.

Promoting is too mainstream for him.

I'm still new so I'm always on bronze and it hadn't occurred to me that people would drop to an easier level to level up. For me, promoting is a challenge. Good point though!

Going off on a bit of a tangent here, but equipment-wise there's no reason why you shouldn't move on to silver at least. And the only thing that might keep you out of playing gold with the right classes is your low-level armour-piercing mods (most of the uncommons really need a piercing mod to get through the high damage reduction from armour on gold).

One example: Asari Justicar with Mattock X is one of my favourite setups for gold. Reave all the things!

Back when it came out I got the Reegar VII and VIII in the same pack then the IX and X in same a day later. It happens.

[ZoM_Head]

I think i took a screenshot of a level 250-ish player with a harrier X......

Let me look for it.

edite: N7 250 with Cruisaider V is what i found. Im 6000 with Cruisaider 1 -.-

[Vakarian14]

If i wasn't pressured into promoting by my friends, my N7 would be well below 200. Mines currently at 240 and has been for a while.

Look at my manifest. It shouldn't be too difficult to believe that it is entirely very possible.

Agreed again, SLGX you can totally play silver with that manifest, I played gold (by accident) with a worse manifest and thanks to some great players I made it through to wave 10 first time.  That was a hell of a learning experience....  I'd totally play silver with you if you were on PC   Best thing to do is have a go!

[RedJohn]

Reading this thread ( mainly the first page ) made me realize that people really don't know this game.......

[iPryde]

I'm N7 150 and have an ok amount of X's.

Like someone said before, promoting is too mainstream.

[PeskySquirrel]

I'm N7 210 and my manifest is nearly maxed out. Respec cards are the way to go since they're easy to get back and don't mess with your character colors and names.

The problem is that it looks stupid. It also makes you look like a person who just buys packs and has no experience playing the game.

I would say the person who assumes that would be the one who is "stupid".  You can not tell how experienced/good someone is if their N7 ranking is 120 or above.  You can get a better idea based on the weapons and gear they have, but that still isn't an great indicator.  You CAN get a good idea of how good someone is based on what weapons/gear they equip and if they work with the team.

I have played with 120 level folks who were some of the best I have ever played with.  I have played with N7 3000+ people who were just terrible.

ya know this BS excuse is getting really old, idk what N7s you people are claiming to be terrible but I've not played with a person higher than 5K who has ever been terrible. Some less reliable than others, but not as stupid as say a random N7 120 would be. Terrible isn't being at the bottom of the scoreboard or not carring the entire team like a lot of the lower (n7120...) people seem to be expecting, but more along the lines of what a N7 120.... would do like go into the open and get his/her azzes handed to them and blame someone else for failing a mission.  Or like a game a had a while back, a person N7 500ish "thinking" they know what the hell they're doing and not really having a clue on how the AI works.

Anyway, there is no N7 5K+ (least none I've ever played with, and there are only 160 of them on XBL including me) who hasn't at least carried they're own weight and used more common sense than a random N7 120 EVER has. There may be a handfull of 120s that know what they're doing, but honestly THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING because they don't promote, and like every other N7 120 my 1st thought is letting them know they should try a easier difficulty while I hit the boot button.

I'll actually give some weight to the "N7 doesnt mean anything BS" when it actually shows fruit.
Btw N7 3K is not a high N7.... there is a legit N7 20K on XBL, and at least 15 10K legit N7s. You could be a 3K N7 only playing bronze if you played since release.

Funny, was playing yesterday with someone who had an N7 of 7k+ (on PC). It's pretty rare to see these guys. Anyway, it was a classic U/U/G, we got Glacier/Geth, he was playing a GI with a high level Harrier. So I thought, ok, he should be able to carry his own weight. He ragequitted by wave 3. Apparently, being outdone by a FQE *gasp* makes someone take stupid risks and he repeatedly got himself killed.

And there's a way of knowing if a low N7 ain't too shabby. Their loadouts.

He was using a Batarian, actually.

[Inedible Food]

They can stay at N7 120, 20 levels for each class. Obviously no promoting.

I've seen ^^ with higher UR guns than me...

That explains the repeated deaths then. Stunlocks galore 

[Sandman667]

Just didn't promote his dudes.
I'm saving mine for when there's another "Promote X classes" event.

[Ryan80537]

What I find curious are the high ranks without all rares and such at X.

I get it, they promote A LOT. But seeing an N7 1000+ carrying around a Carnifex VI makes me scratch my head.

[GeneralFrisk]

I'm almost at N7200 and I've honestly spent ~$100 on BioWare points for Premium Spectre packs (If not more) and none of my rares are even at 5. So unless he doesn't promote, and has spent $500+, this does seem unlikely.

(My girlfriend doesn't like promoting either, so it's a perfectly reasonable explanation.)

Lol no.

Also look at my manifest, I'm N7 120. I just don't promote, like those guys you saw.

Hah, I'm in the same boat, though you have about 10 more ultra-rare levels than me. Did you also skip out on promotionals out of refusal to promote?

[Stinja]

Lol the same old Low-N7 must equal noob with low weapons 

I'm N7 180, never spent real money: how's my manifest?

N7 rank has nothing to do with weapon acquisition or ability and is certainly not a status symbol to anyone other than those feeling rather insecure. It's simply a guide to how many times you've promoted.

 So, i played a few matches on PC this morning before i went to work and i saw couple guys wielding level X (Maximum) rare weapons with only less than 200 N7 rank. Should it be possible? One of the guys had 123 rank if i remember correctly, Reegar Karbine and Arc pistol at X. Didn't take a screenie from the lobby, doh!

What do you think?

I'm N7 360 and have all my rares maxed and some of my URs maxed, I just don't like promoting.

[aj2070]

I haven't promoted that often and have all guns except URs and promotional (N7) at max level. I am in the mid 300s.

[DextroDNA]

Why do people think just because my N7 level is 298, I'm bad at the game and should be autokicked out of Gold/Platinum? I almost always top the leaderboard in games I play, and I'm pretty damn good at the game. I have every gun except the Particle Rifle and the Promotionals unlocked and maxed out (samed with characters), but my N7 level is low because i never promote.

My N7 level would be a lot higher if I actually still found the multiplayer fun. But it's gotten a bit stale for me, so I barely every play it and when I do - I only play a couple of Silver games then hop off. But I'd like to challenge myself with Platinum but I've been kicked out of EVERY Platinum lobby I've joined.

I would've expected more sense from PC gamers, to be honest.

[scheherazade]

I played with a lvl 20 soldier with all X's.
He just didn't want to play any other character, and never promoted.
He played his soldier well, didn't disappoint one bit.

If you play all classes, and never promote, you will be N7 120 forever.

I only promoted for the weekend operations that ask you to promote.
That puts me at 270 IIRC (I never look at it, so I don't remember.).


N7 reflects N7. Nothing else.
It's just a number you get for promoting characters - which is entirely optional.

[masoidthedroid]

If you buy recruit packs, you get a +1 to your N7 ranking immediately. That's why I always buy them. It makes more sense.
