Met Norina on White. Despite the lag I stuck around with my little meatball. Hey, someone needs to bait those nasties!
If that is Norinaniron, I've met her(?) GI a couple of times this week. Each time I had massive lag though, the last game was on Condor and I was doing the step dance almost all the time. Not to mention that I had switched from my usual Adrenaline HI to a Power amp HI. Not fun on Condor... I think Phaebus was in that game, too.
I'm really sorry about the extreme lag! Saw you guys phasing in and out of existence constantly 
I have excellent Internet connection, it's just that EA's matchmaking is ridiculo---ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL---working as intended
Let's hope ME:A will give us the option to blacklist certain hosts.

I remember you did well despite the lag, sadly even the best players can't deal with things like rubber banding. I also rage missile a lot when playing with EU hosts. But a bang is a bang right? let's hope they don't add region-lock matchmaking in ME:A MP due to this. 
Thanks for playing with us. 
I have excellent Internet connection.
Gee, seems like I did help boost your confidence a lot recently?

Hey, I'm paying for the most expensive Internet (1000Mps fibre-optic)...Or they could be overcharging me 
^ No I just mean it doesn't help much when the geographic distance is huge, unless you're using data center-level networks, EU to Asia latency is bound to be >200 ms (usually 300-400), coupled with the almost guaranteed packet loss of inter-continent connections, the real latency could be much worse. In most cases the only thing that matters is the packet loss rate, but sadly that doesn't improve with the bandwidth .
To put it simply: back in U.S., almost everything is smooth even when I'm playing on Asian hosts, but here in China, I can't even stay connected to effin' EA servers, it's not the bandwidth that makes a difference, but rather your location/ISP.
Dropped into DonMarfil's lobby, who then preset the lobby to Collectors. Thank you, and a good game.
Would've stayed for a few more but I has something IRL to tend to.
-Snip-
Things do seem to go surprisingly smoother when you're in the U.S. At least you wouldn't constantly get dropped by the EA servers in the middle of Wave 9 on Plat and leave me with gearless Level 1 PUGs

You're welcome . Also ran into marksmad and we both ran QME with a stylish Adas. GGs guys.

You don't simply stay connected to EA servers...
And when they drop you, it has to be wave 9+ and when you're at 99% progress to complete some challenge...
My Batarian Brawler landed in wave 10 of a game with wrex-in-effect. We had time to exchange a quick greeting, then the game was over and the host left. Nice seeing you, however briefly 
Ran into Janus again... *snip*
The first match (Hydra/Reapers) was fun... then we tried keeping that BF3 pug alive and it became more fun. He tried doing the devices, bless him, but apparently shooting them doesn't work.
The second (Vancouver/Collectors) was not, at least for me. Constantly getting cross-fired on a glass cannon kit I'm not that familiar with left me spamming lash and blind-firing the Hurricane like an idiot. Everything I did felt ineffective. Couple that with all enemies frequently teleporting through cover, including praetorians... I was done. The shuttle stuck around that game, so I should've seen it coming.
BioticPulse boomsquad!
Very good games indeed altho i got lolgrabbed twice by banshees in that 1st game.
Biotic squad ftw (and that lolclaymore on that lolbatarian!! - hard to keep up pace) :-D
Isn't CNevarezN on BSN as well??
I think I've seen the name on here before although it's rare for me to bump into BSNers.
I had a little rubber-banding, which got me stuck between a ladder, a scion and a praetorian - thanks for the missile! I don't take the BatDept out too often, I was following CNevarezN's lead. The Claymore might be a bit much on him. : D
Sinful Force wound up in a lobby I hosted, but quit before the game began. Missed out on a 16-minute Glacier/Gold/Geth with ludicrously awesome chains of Dark Channel/Biotic Orbs.
^ I thought I recognized that name. Sadly, today's quit to playing ratio feels like 10-1. I don't remember the exact reason for leaving yours, but if I left from the lobby, chances are is because it wasn't weak enough. I want weak pug Gold lobbies with total chaos all around me. Or at least more classy kits lobby roundup.
If I would of remembered that you were a BSNer, I would of stayed. Just that for some reason I only know you from your avatar and not name. So sorry about that. Will know for next time.
.The Claymore might be a bit much on him : D
Just before dinner I got in DaemionMoadrin's lobby. We did a couple flashlight runs, one vs bugs, and one last one vs Rippaz.
Thought that last one on Jade was going to be our most impressive/efficient run (with blue ladies, how could it not?). It was going so well -- except for our low ranking vanguard friend. Then the last couple wave 10 devices and extraction, I just could not keep away from Brute claws and Ravager blasts.
Nice work. Especially with that FQI.
HOT DAMN. Did it again. Cerberus got whipped. I didn't particularly recognize these player names, but I'm assuming they at least visit BSN.
I've still only gotten 10 Waves Survived on Gold five times at most. I joined on wave 2. Used the same class as last night's 10 Waves Survived game, TSol Hurricane. Unlike last night, however, no one died for the entire mission. InsertAGoodName was sniping with the Black Widow, handling the left side (from the main camping room) of Goddess and where I wasn't. EmbraceAzurity was sticking to the right side most of the time, charging up Arc Pistol V a lot and using powers. I was backing up EmbraceAzurity most of the time, started detonating Azurity's Incinerates on Atlases and stuff once I figured that would work better. I was trying to back everyone up, checking the ladder and the jetpack ledge near the ladder more often than normal, contained a bunch of Dragoons, some Phantoms, and one Phantom that got in InsertAGoodName's face. Call-ME-Kapo was using the Juggernaut, mostly in the thick of it around the enemy spawn areas as far as I could tell. Extraction wave was dicey and fun. Endless Dragoons.

Hehe, thanks. I was hosting for a change because I really wanted to get those challenges done, otherwise I wouldn't have tormented people with a lobby preset to Geth.
I missed ~10% of my shots with FQI completely, not sure what exactly was up. Maybe I'm not used to playing as host? I think my best moment was when I chucked all my sticky grenades past a Prime and over the railing instead of killing it with them. Not my best performance. So awful.
Thank you for picking up the slack of the newbie team. The Juggernaut wasn't terrible but his hex shield placement got into my way a lot... and the vanguard (Aliengrrl?) was only good for a revive medal.
It was fun though and I think we had a good synergy going on, especially with the biotic beauties in the last game. We should do that again soon. ^^
Btw... was my host okay for you? So far I barely got any feedback from other players.
Oh yeah. A-OK -- with our connection, at least.
I was actually wondering if your GPS GI was getting shots rejected by that Juggy shield. I had to curve my warps/throws around it...too damn much.
And you got to witness my rage nuking my way to deliever the pizza vs bugs! LOL Christ, they have a special way of p!ssing me off on objectives.
#controllerpeasantrace
The only reason I didn't nuke everything in our path was that I wanted to get more points for the GPS challenge.

Yes excellent game! When the 10 Waves Survived medal showed up I think I was as surprised as anyone else. I almost blew it when joining the game, I spawned into a trooper party at the LZ and had to use a quick gel. Aside from that, though, it was one of the most relaxed Gold games I've played in a while.
Sinful Force dropped into a lobby that I was in with a friend and we had a couple of silver games on Hydra and Dagger. At least one was Geth. Relaxing games after the fun with the zombie mod.
^ Yeah, the host BotBot was on my FL list and invited me over. Was surprised to see you there so soon after that Mgamerz lobby. Those were nice clean classy games.
Funny thing about that last match. I seen myself get paid back in the lobby. But once I left the host and ready for spending, the money was gone.
