How can someone be 'afk' all game?  The system kicks you if you're idle for too long  :/

Not if lobby is set to private.

Or they're leeches with rubber bands on their thumbsticks.

He never left the Hydra LZ, so he got downed pretty much instantly at the beginning of every wave. That won't get you kicked.

I don't even.....

[DragonRacer]

I don't even.....

 

Yup.

 

Had a Drell Adept that just kept turning circles in the LZ the entire time on Reactor one match many moons ago.

 

I was angry. But it was also sorta funny/hysterical to watch the circling...

You would be amazed at how common this used to be.

 

Back in the first 6 months of the game, I would say that easily over 50% of all Bronze and Silver lobbies had at least one rubber-bander in them (actually, at first, they weren't rubber-banders, because originally, there was no auto-kick function, so they'd just go AFK as soon as they readied up in the lobby.)

 

Their frequency dropped off to the point where I almost never see them, anymore. I've only seen a few in the last year. I assume that over time, rubber-banding got to be too much work for people who weren't interested in actually playing the game, so they just stopped playing altogether.

It's known as Idle Boosting and it's actually very rare on ME3. It's more common on FPS's where unlocks and achievements are linked to leveling up. A couple of my friends play Halo and apparently it's so prevalent that it is an automatic ban even on private games.

I don't even know what to think about this. Never heard of it or seen it but my god...the lengths people will go to to try to find a shortcut...

Zorinho was soloing with AIU in Glacier when my VolEngie joined at wave 7 or 8. I had lag here and there so my fat guy was lying on the floor little too much, once Banshee synckilled me so you had to keep on soloing. Wave 10 devices were quite bad but we completed the run. I got disconnected after the game so my poor volus didn't get his credits. Maybe you left too early or it was usual connection trolling.

Social loafing. Quite common in individualistic societies.

 

Honestly, missile glitching is a more proactive and arguably more rage inducing shortcut.

Meh, I'll take missile glitching as less offensive; @ least the whole team benefits from you being a glitch-using douchebag and gets some easy Plat credits. No one benefits from you walking in circles until you bleed out every wave.

[PaunchyCyclops]

Had some good games with PATPATPATlol... until Condor happened. I chose an acolyte as my second weapon just in case there were phantoms. There were phantoms, but I couldn't change my weapons, including to pull out a missile launcher! And Condor did it's screw the 4th player thing. Sigh.

Fair enough.

[DarkFaerie316]

not a pug but just had a fun few games with David Diablo!!! Though geth/white/gold did induce some rage rockets lol

[CEBK]

millahnna dropped into a friend and I's game today. We went on to kill reapers and stomp geth. Good games!

[Vanelsa]

Dropped in a UUP lobby with N7 Neptune. Overall smooth runs on Giant, Reactor and Hydra.

those were good games and thanks for sticking around to play  yeah, condor got pretty hairy there with just three peeps and i didn't realize you were having difficulty switching weapons. at least we got the wave 10 objective done. i tried to gel and see if i could run away to regroup but nope. phantom stabbed me. 

[Silvershroud]

I swear I recognize the name RustyMonkey from on here.  Of course, I also swear that BSNers know better than to run a Geth Engineer with a Typhoon and Commando Package...

I kinda felt bad for the geth in that one game (two geth engineers, a demolisher, and a melee specced Krogan Sent (original recipe not krolord).  And we had the nearly all female death squad for a round or two, that was fun.

 

My lag was epic though.

[RealKobeBean]

Not exactly a Pug - since I invited them directly - but I played with ex-Clusum, MM-Ryoku and d_nought. We did two Platinum games together: Goddess/Reapers and Rio/Cerberus. Both games were a lot of fun, and we had a Full Extraction both times. I took two very different characters to the fight, namely the GI and the Drell Vanguard, so I mixed it up a little bit. All of you guys played awesomely with various classes.

 

I want to give a big shoutout to d_nought for being one brave son of a ******. I mean, he joined the fight on Goddess with no equipment. That's having some balls, son.  This was our first game together, so I really appreciate the fact that you accepted my friend request and played a couple of games with me. You rock, buddy. Can't wait for our GI/Javelin Platinum duo and learn from one of the best - if not THE best - GI/Javelin players out there.

 

Ex-Clusum, we're going to do some of the challenges whenever we both find time to play. I promissed you that, so I need to deliver

 

MM-Ryoku, you told me you unlocked the Slayer after our games together. Go nuts with the character. Blast those Phantoms to hell with that palm blaster.

[N7-Praesentiae]

Joined IMissleSwarmers gold lobby for a pretty quick gold game against cerb. It was fun playing my vanilla human engineer again.

[BIGGLESBY]

Ran into N7 Absentiae while trying out ME3 on my laptop while the internet was out on my rig. Lagged so goddamn hard and I messed up my keybindings. Never again am I attempting that.

 

Next time it'll be much smoother.

FRANTICWRATH joined my GIP, screamed at me about using a missile on Wave 10 Collectors cleanup (I believe his exact words were "IF YOU CAN'T PLAY GOLD WITHOUT USING A FUCKIN NOOB LAUNCHER THEN YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!"), then proceeded to stop Reegar-ing and Flamer-ing enough to use all six of his missiles on extraction. And he died quite a few times while still giving me shit for using one missile (well... two after I killed the possessed abomb standing right next to him >:D) and soapboxing about "how fuckin hard do you think Gold is if you have to run around missiling every fuckin thing" while using his Reegar Vorcha Soldier.

 

10/10 would play with again.
