recent pugs remind me of single player - where your NPC minions are doing stupidest things, unless you direct them personally

I've been trying to make the move into gold lately but the last few times I've tried it's failed around wave 8 or 9. I can't tell if it's me being bad or if it's other people. I usually run my FQI with black widow in gold matches, as that's the kit I'm most familiar and best with. Black widow is only @ 1 (because RNG hates me, I guess), but I never go into a gold game without at least level 3 consumables and such. Score-wise I'm rarely ever last (generally 2nd or 3rd, sometimes 1st) and I get on objectives, etc. I'm also generally good at staying alive (granted that's pretty easy with an infiltrator). Just can't really tell if it's me or others.

Heck, even some of the silver games I've been doing the past couple days have been bad.

If you PS3 players haven't joined the ME3 MP chat rooms, you should (PS3 Alliance Hazard Force). Bunch of really good & serious players. Going into gold with a group of these folks is often like my early bronze matches! I go here for gold players and PUG silver. The silver matches are much worse & cost me more gels and rockets!

i think people who solely say that low level people are not gold worthy, deserve to be sodomized by ingame glitches. an LV12 has enough points for 4 skills to be at lv 4. if they bring decent weapons and gear, thats more than enough for gold. hell after each promotion round i do. i play gold matches with lv4 characters and people dont mind, because i dont bring ****ty gear with me, Its all about the gear chumps, instead of staring at the levels, look at the persons loadout. I would very much rather take a lv4 bat sent, with lv 10 executioner and some lv1-3 UR gun or w/e who brings in some gear with him too, Than some lv20 guy with nothing but predator 4 and no gear.

How do these types of groups work? When I want to play I want to play, not go on the pc to try and coordinate times, deal with invites on the ps3, etc. That seems like it would be as much or more of a hassle as dealing with bad pugs. Then again I don't really want to play with folks who spend every waking moment playing and all have maxed manifests either.

I've not bothered with Gold lately except with my friend list. The past few days I've been grinding out challenges on low players and promoting, so it isn't worth it for me to play Gold - and sometimes Silver. Why should I bother bringing others down on some squishy kit because I'm trying to hit a challenge? Now, when these challenges are over... I'll be back in the swing of things. Of course, it is funny when I'm playing Bronze and there are three with an N7 combined score of almost 50 and I just let them sit there while I do my thing. I should play solo, but it is fun with new people.

I've learned that N7 and challenge scores don't mean anything next to skill as I've seen some high scores that can't do anything and some low scores that are really decent.

That's what I've been thinking too, Praxus. I'm in England but have picked up some US friends through PUGs. Due to time difference, I seem to be leaving as they come on-line on many days. I'm stuck with the PUGs the rest of the time. I want a challenge, but not this ridiculous mess that happens on a daily basis atm.

The responses show that we have absolute agreement on the original subject matter for us PS3 users. Everybody who mentioned PS3 acknowledges how bad it has become. PC and Xbox seem to have differing opinions, so it may just be our platform.

Not clear what your question is.  You play on PS3?  You ask in the forum in the link to join then you get a PS3 friend request from a moderator.  Then, on the PS3 you open the chat room.  Inside of ME3 MP you will get invites every so often to join.  You can press the PS button to go back and forth between game and chat room to see chats.

Generally I pug silver, checking into chat every so often to see if new gold games are starting up, then I accept the invite.  You can also create games and invite the chat room.  Lately I've seen around 9 to 16 players in the chat room at a time.

Hey Minkfish, the PS3 chat room I mentioned has players from all over the world involved.

I've noticed over the past few weeks that just about every game I join, most of the players don't do anything. They join a game with either an underleved character for that difficulty ( mostly Gold characters who are below 15 ), or don't have equiptment on. In-game, if it's neither of those, the person is completely uncooperative or just doesn't revive themself or bleeds out.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has noticed this. 

ME losing popularity, plus every single time a new game is out, people rush to play them.

good example was.. the STARCRAFT II expansion.

and BIOSHOCK INFINITE.

Cheers for the info, Maurader. May well check into that.

Survivability > skill, usually.

[Sinapus]

I tend to level in Bronze, or just waste time there when I don't want anything overly stressful. So far have had at least two matches where I was the only one left alive during a hack objective. Once w/a lvl 1 turian sentinel.
*overload* *locust headshots* *overload* *locust headshots*
Actually expended a thermal clip pack. 


I have seen some people w/low n7 scores and challenge points. (Like a lvl 2 human female soldier w/n7 score ot 2 and no challenge points completed.) Those I will give some slack and try to give tips over the mike.
OTOH, I've had some frustration everytime I run into Collectors regardless of level. People just don't know how to deal with Scions and bunch up while trying to kill the Scions.


Or shoot Abominations at point-blank range.

[Mahrac]

I'll admit to being part of the problem on PC.

Haven't been on for nearly two months, so -1 to players that know wtf to do.

[PsychoticBiotic]

I don't know, I've had some good experiences lately in PUGs. Got 5 waves survived in multiple matches, and even a 10 waves survived medal in an U/U/G PUG .

I've also run into some idiots lately, but what can you expect from the Xbox community.

If pc and xbox had the influx of scrubs like PS3 users have gotten with ME3 being free for PS+ members those guys would be on here whining every day. The fact of the matter is, those PS+ european users are selfish leechers with a free game, who dont give a darn who they drag down..... I can literally gold lobby surf through 50 + games in a evening and 95% of them are N7's less than 200, challenge points less than 200 and no equipment, no gear, no weapon mods, and at best uncommon or maybe you'll get someone with a rare ...disciple IV.... lol.

It's sad and pathetic and rather sickening to have these losers peppering our already small playerbase

thankfully i don't have to play with them i can always go into AHF and find a good match, but  i like to laugh at the scrubs, it's amuzing for a lil bit, before it becomes annoying

edit: oh and lets not forget the few  lobbies that are decent have  enemy set to unknown and you end up in a ps3 gold collectors match, which is a auto  denial for me i refuse to play against them @ the cost of my console

When i play, it is either noon (weekdays) or early morning/noon (weekends) at your place We'll see who that will work out, though

[HarmonicOcean]

Its getting worse as new players come in, not really knowing what do do, example we were not plat, and we picked up a newbe, he can in with a level 1 car, did not do a thing all game, we kicked him after game.

[cdzander]

I'm good enough to handle myself in this game, never thought I was elite, but lately Gold PuGs I'm having to carry a lot more. Had over 200k for the first time on my KroSent. Granted there were only 3 of us since 1 ragequit after sucking so much...

Hope they enjoyed the show, they spent a lot of time dead. I'll rez someone most of the time, but if you keep dying surrounded by enemies in open areas...I'm not adding my corpse to the pile.
