I found W/G/G harder than G/R/G.

I thought people were stupid for picking Geth, no matter the method.

It was pretty ridiculous at one point.. especially after Pyro became ungrabbable and 3 Primes were standing tall during wave 10...
It made entire Geth faction nightmare for many people.. especially whom played outside FBW.

Incidently to those who are really familar with FBWGG; is it really different now that you can't grab geth pyros over cover, and also with the addition of geth bombers?

It is quite different. Especially Geth Bombers changed a lot of things. (Seriously this thing is designed as anti-FBWGG)
Map change was very smart move to prevent FBWGG as well.

You couldnt do UUG back in the day because every time you tried you would end up with FBWGG.

[cowwy]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

It was okay for some easy credits if I felt like making some while watching a movie or something. Just pick Salarian Engineer and keep placing the decoy while not really paying attention.

Though I don't really need credits all that much these days.

I seriously didn`t think I will be suffering with Lancer..
but for the first time since I started the game.. I am in pain because of RNG and UR.
Maxing almost everything.. but Lancer at IV.. for entire month.

Ah the good ole days of farming FB White/Geth/Gold. I remember those well. Was cool at first when we still needed to max our silvers. Would be boring as hell now, moreso than FB Rio/Reaper/Platinum is. I leave those lobbies as soon as I get them.

I'm glad we can't do it anymore, now if only we couldnt farm Reapers on rio/plat. =\\

Same, I wasn't bothered with any of the other URs, I was annoyed when my Jav was stuck at IX for a long long time, but this is really getting me down.  The only gun I actually wanted from the DLC I still haven't got since Reckoning

You can still access the old FB White map. I tried and it works. Basically on PC, what you need is to ALT-F4 while in a lobby, then restart ME3. What happens is that the game will tell you it cannot authenticate the dlcs.

Ignore that and go to multiplayer. The entire game goes back to the basic style like during launch. I did a random search and found peeps still playing it too. Mostly bronze and silver though

No, FBWGG was boring and taught you nothing. It was the old equivalent of the Rio's box of shame.

If I want to farm like a madman, I team up with a few friendlist buddies, pick a grenade nuke class and steamroll platinum.

Or I can just play whatever I want however I want on Gold and still make lods of ecredits.

FBWGG was boring as hell, but it wasn't a bad stepping stone. I wish more people had that farming experience on Gold instead of just jumping right in like the average PUG.

Pretty much this.

I met a bunch of cool people farming FBWGG honestly.

Yup. Agree with all of this. Especially now, with the influx of new players playing Gold without the minimum of FBWGG as a training ground. At the very least it taught you the amount of damage that Gold enemies do. Argle bargle complain complain, etc.

[DullahansXMark]

I'll be honest, it was pretty nice sometimes. I'd do it if it meant getting a Lancer.

Prime is too slow, it's much better and faster to lure pyro or hunter, who are equally as deadly.

There are still people who set their lobby as FBWGG. I guess they never got the memo.

I did my share of FBWGG. It did help me get used to the damage output on Gold. But all those buffs to Geth...and I would fall asleep doing it.

Funny, I'm watching as BSN approves of FBWGG where they used to hate everything to do with it, almost more so than Rio.

Anyways, I'd probably go back to farming every once in a while. It was relaxing. Though it is still very doable.

I think it has something to do with the number of ultra-rares increasing by more than 60% in the last DLC. There were 8 avaiable at launch, with the others added a few at time over the course of a year. Anyone who played regually would slowing be leveling up the older ones while unlocking the newer ones as they came out. Hence, farming was looked at as unnecessary.

Now, a year later, they jump the number of UR by more that half again. Then also immedaitely end support, meaning the promo weapons, which had be essentially free, now cost as much as an UR as well. It's like being 4/5 of the way to what you think is the top of a mountain, only to have the clouds part and reveil your barely half way. At that point an easier trail is starting to sound like a pretty wise choice, if you actually want to make it to the top.

Plus, it's been long enough now, we're starting to look back on FBW/G/G with the nostalgia goggles.

Like deliberately playing Geth? Hell no!

Dcal31 summed it up nicely.

But FBWGG is not something you want to rub into new players, the game's meta has changed a lot and you dont want people to be taught to stick to one spot with dragoon, bombers, collectors and banshees.

People used to find reapers hard because they didn't allow static gameplay.
