  There is a trend now of people trying to kick anyone playing the AIU, when it gets to a point where folks are trying to dictate what someone else plays, it's time for me to stop pugging, as I won't kick another player for their class choice.

Been kicked twice for AIU.  

Also, joined lobby, last night, with lvl 20 AHI, alreay geared up and with consumables and instantly had two red X.

The 3rd did not come, butI I left anyway.  I don't have time to waste on folks who do not want to play with me or don't like my kit.   No hard feelings just not an issue. 

There really is no way to guard against being kicked b/c there is no reason given, most of the time, as to why you are being kicked.  Speculation is pointless as it could be anything.  There are other lobbies.

Ive been kicked for using the Phaeston with the TGI. I even talked to the guys after they whined about it and explained that I was going for Assault Rifle challenges and would make up for the less than stellar gun by using a more survivable character. But nope, kick away. Proceeded to join another PUG and came second in points on a quick full extraction with my crappy Phaeston.

I have been working on weapon challenges for awhile now and have been ****ed at alot as I work my way through each class of weapon... gets annoying. I know the weapon isn't the greatest, but there are only so many good Sniper Rifles I can choose before I need some ****ty ones!

Don't ****ing join Platinum games under rank 120 without X level weapons, gear, and consumables.

You can tell someone is going to be terrible when they don't bother using mods/consumables and use underleveled deficient weapons. Especially a drell on a platinum -- drell are high skill kits and a bad weapon choice is a flag for constant death.

If you want to joing a platinum match have a mic and talk it over with your teammates. I you are willing to agree on a strategy with the other players you will do well with whatever kit.   Yes, high lvl is preferable but not indispensable.

A couple of days ago a first time MP player joined our lobby, he had a mic so we asked what he was doing on platinum. He said he wanted to check it out.  I have to say, it was surprising.  He was willing to follow our lead, we played and we all got extracted.


Oh, and when I say first time I'm talking about he got lost on Glacier and didn't know where to get more ammo (standing next to an ammo box), we all had fun and that's what matters.

Yeah, it's fun you people talk but on PC we rarely do. I find very few people like me that will call out banshees/praetorians, let alone say "hello".

So it's just a PuG, and my experience tells me that I'm safer sticking to those guidelines in order to not see my consumables wasted on a hopeless team that isn't killing anything rapidly because they chose inefficient kits and weapons.

Not everyone needs to be a GI, but when you see just a vorcha and a volus with no heavy duty weapons and a turian saboteur, you know it will be painful when encroaching mob types like banshees and dragoons and Praetorians come calling, because they sure as hell will fail at killing said mobs in time so as not to be overwhelmed.

I have to say that the lack of communication on pc makes it sound
more as work than fun, but any character can be OP if it has any ability
that works well with the other players powers.  Volus probably will
never get better score than more damage powerful kits but I have to say
that many times I've been glad to have one on the team.

Volus are great, I really don't care about scores (they're really easy to skew with certain kits and weapons and consumables).

But someone needs to do the killing, and the volus are not the best at it. Platinum is best when you have a nice concentration of boss killers with spread fire covering each other and concentrating fire on the bigger threats like Praetorians and Banshees and Aboms.

you don't need a mic to play this game. i've played plenty of gold matches where no one used a mic and got full extraction. mic is optional.

I hate people like this.
Your right though mics are optional and so is me keeping you in the game.

Every person who comes into my games no mic is kicked.

Copy that!

[DinkumGem]

I wouldn't agree with your #3. It's fine to go off by yourself (except when it's objective time) as long as you get yourself up if you go down. If you're using all your gels before extraction, then you're not ready to be off by yourself.

For gold I agree mic is not indispensable.   But using a mic opens up the match to different posibilities and kits that can not only support each other but are fun to play, say for example 4 volus team, surprisingly fun and OP.

true. the only time i use a mic is when i'm playing with friends but we never talk strategy or anything like that. we goof off too much and joke around. we did play as all volus in fact during a match and it was quite fun .

Given that all my platinum extractions have been done without mics, I'd extend that to Platinum. If there was a Diamond difficulty I'm sure I'd extend it to that difficulty too.

Mics and communication are SO overrated.

i agree with this. they are definately overrated.

:lol: Unfortunately I know what you mean.  Many pc players have always said there is little communication, do you guys have any idea as to why?

Console players who wants to communicate through voice chat needs the game to have an inbuilt voice chat.

On computers, most players that play online, already use an external voice program, like Teamspeak, Ventrilo, more recently Mumble, when they have a mic.

Truthfully the quality of in game voice chat cannot even compare to the rest, it's a real Joke and here is why :

- You only have the choice of Continuous transmition, Push to talk, or None, whereas in any dedicated voice chat you can select Voice Activation, and a voice activation level in db.
- There is no control over codec quality
- No possibility to mute only one player, it's mute them all or suffer the only jerk that trash talk or breathe in in mic forever.
- There is not Keybind for muting people or disactivating in game voice chat on the fly, you have to go in the option panel for that, needless to say that you'll have to suffer all 11 platinum waves like that because going in the option means you are going to be killed.
- You don't know who is talking, while Mumble permits you to have an overlay on top of your games that shows who just talked, Some pluggins for Teamspeak 3 does the same, alternatively, if you have a dual screen you can put the window of your voice program on the second screen, to see who is there and who is talking all the time.

There is not way people who have a teamspeak server are going to invite each and every pug he encounter, so pugs usually are very silent, but i am pretty sure that all PC players that has formed teams to do plat speedruns on a daily basis uses these for coordinate action.

If you can handle it do it, but new players to higher levels than their used to will most likely get killed very easily and get a dissapointing experience.   Remember this are opinions directly considering new players that would like to try higher levels.

I've been kicked once, evar.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this.   It's a shame really, even with all the bad experiences I've had with annoying players , it's still worth the good ones.
