Aaan here we go again.
I think I never read a post on BSN concerning these type of things were no one carried the whole team all the time all night in spite of all high rankers, low rankers, mid rankers and non rankers coming and going.

"I AM ON BSN, THEREFORE I CARRY EVERY PUG I PLAY IN."

This forum went from bad to worse in like 3 days.

N7 Mastery, justt sayin'.

The amount of time spent to get that banner is... a lot. It's a lot of time to get lots of credits to spend on recruit packs if you don't have a maxxed out manifest. I don't think many people will go that route... so.... would you rather play a lot of games with low level characters and struggle, or have fun?

I honestly don't care? You can go ahead and promote all you want, as long as it makes you happy.

[dumdum2]

To be honest all I can think is that they are not going to be that much of an asset to the team, even if they currently have a level 20 character for Gold or Platinum.

Here are my reasons:

1. If you promote all the time and show up with a low level character on high difficulties you won't be able to benefit the team as much as if you were a level 20 character

2. People who promote all the time might not get to play with players on higher difficulties which means they will not get enough money to buy packs and thus they try to save their equipment as much as they can. This would not be beneficial for the team

3. Constantly promoting means that you probably switch between your classes a lot and never play them much when they are fully leveled up. This would suggest that such a player would never be very good at the game since they don't put the time into developing their skills with a certain character that is fully leveled up. They can still be good players but it is unlikely that they will be "elite", and yes, I have played with a lot of players that are in the top regarding NT-rank on Xbox and most of them are "decent" with a few that are actually "good".

You always become good at what you do on a regular basis, so if you constantly mix your characters up by choosing different classes and promoting them as soon as they reach level 20 you will probably never become really good with any of the classes that you are playing.

This is just my opinion however.

[Bhatair]

Nothing really. Just that they must promote a lot.

Personally I just prefer to have all my characters at max level and ready to go.

[ucdcsteve]

Honestly, I don't care. If someone wants to promote, cool. If they don't want to promote, cool.

Personally, I only promote to respec but even then, that hasn't happened very often. I like my characters at 20 and ready to play like the poster before me said.

[GordianKnot42]

I don't think anything one way or the other. I love the idea/challenge of leveling up from the beginning, but I've put in a lot of time finding my perfect builds, and I have no keep a log to redo them exactly how I had them before. To each his/her own. If anything, I would hope people who promote don't look at my N7 rank and think less of ME. :-P

I hope you are not referring to me as I made no such claim. Not always top score but 1st or second most times even with friends. I have recently finished fourth trying out the new volus level 1 in silver and claymore with great players. I couldn't recall the last time that's happened before that.

I don't care if someone topped the board if they hoard consumables and relied on others to bail them out (revive or rocket to save them or team) they wouldn't have topped by being down for the rounds. We all get the same credits so everyone should bear some cost not just one or two players. There are selfish players all through the ranks of n7. Score is irrelevant as I will carry someone that tries and uses their consumables to help through a few matches. When I was a lowbie I used my rockets because my guns did not help me score as much and it helped the team and made scores closer. No one ever kicked me even if I was last place.

[Learn To Love Yourself]

I am riddled with jealousy and shame. Jealousy of someone else's higher N7 ranking, and filled with shame for being unable to overcome my fear of the letter X. Why the hell couldn't the promote button be the Y button???

[Bob Garbage]

Can't be bothered to care one way or the other. I promote if I want to respec.

[PsychoticBiotic]

I don't care it someone wants to promote. Once I have N7 Mastery (58/60) I'll be happy to never open up another recruit pack again.

Do you promote?

If you search the forums you will find a crapton of threads with people complaining of being kicked because their n7 was low (the reason being 2 out of 3 times poor loadout when asked what they had) meanwhile the people that promote almost never complained when idiots kicked them bcause their n7 was high or they wanted to play gold with a level 5 character.

Is a fact that 9 out 10 whine threads in the forums were made by people with low n7 and the other 10% was whining about whining

Promoting is fun, level 20 toons are for platinum and nothing else, if you need a level 20 character to play gold- that is just sad.

[Pride Demon]

I actually give them props for having a ton of patience, a lot more patience than I have anyway...

Frankly, I used to promote regularly some time ago, finally dropped it when I noticed I just couldn't stomach the idea of having to level my characters back from level 1 and rename/redesign each and every one anymore, the entire thing had just lost its novelty and had become a chore rather than something fun...

Now that characters are no longer scrubbed completely on promote and that some time has passed I may pick it up again... Maybe... Or I'll keep doing it just during the weekly challenges challenges that require it... Don't know really...

[Foul420]

I don't care. It's another game mechanic to me, just one I happen to be not to fond of. I'm sure you can all take a guess as to what my n7 rank is .

[TODD 5184]

I played with a 4,000+ n7 rank guy who was sucking it up on silver. I don't really promote, but at some point I'll need a few for my challenges. Personally when I get to level 20 I try to enjoy it at max level.

I am good with all sets not just one. if people want to roick tech or biotic I can change at will. Someone that always used soldier classes are not as versatile and indeed less skilled at the game even if they are primo with just the destroyer.

This game is really simple you have three power trees and spam powers from them. Grenade spam is the easy I win button. A low level can max grenades and top the board. with QMI level 8 (only need level 4 TC and arc) I can top gold easily especially with bad players. Some builds require 12 levels to be good on gold, but that is the baseline over that and yes you can do better but skill, loadout, and gear overweighs the benefit. I have outscored people being dropped into gold pugs with a level 1 (wasn't searching for it)and no gear for the rounds I was in (The best guns ie X and arguable best in class really reall really help everyone despite what "elites" try to write here).

Most promoters don't promote constantly, but I'm mainly curious about that bit. Are you implying that players who choose to play a variety of characters as opposed to just one or three are bad players? Also, aren't you a promoter? N7 over 2k generally implies it, neh?

[xcrunr1647]

I only promote my Soldiers and Infiltrators regularly, occasionally my Sentinels.

Adepts, Engineers, and Vanguards haven't been promoted in several months.

I used to wonder why they did it. After doing N7 Mastery, I now wonder how they do it.

It's just a difference in preference, though. Some do it for the N7 ranking, which in my view is still completely pointless. Some do it because they enjoy levelling their characters again, which I have no issue with. I personally hate doing that and much prefer to keep them all at 20 whenever possible, and use a Reset Card if I need to make a change.

I only promote nowadays if a weekend challenge asks for it, or if I have multiple characters in the same class that I want to respec.

A milder degree of this. I've meat many people with +3000 plus and some with +5000 that are worse player then me, they aren't really bad, but I'm better.

Made it through plat to extraction with a level 13 phoenix adept. Make of that what you will. I did not score last and we did 2 more after also successful.
