Hm, on the first screen there is a fury, a sabouteur and a warlord, levels 17, 18, 16 respectively. On the second screen there is a fury, a human adept and a warlord, same levels. On the end screen there is an adept (fury), engineer (sabouteur?) and a sentinel (warlord) but levels 15, 18, 13. 

???


Lobby screen taken post-match.

I'm confused.

Your pictures don't match what you say.


In what way.


Well, to be fair, the post-match screen has conflicting info compared to the pre-match screen (of which there are two shots of the pre-match screen, with one containing an Engineer and one containing two Adepts, so which is it?).

Mostly this:

Pre-match Fury Adept is Level 17 in both pre-match shots. Pre-match Human Male Adept is Level 18 in second pre-matchshot. Pre-match Engineer is Level 18 in first pre-match shot. Pre-match Sentinel is Level 16 in both pre-match shots..

Post-match one Adept (which one, Human Male or Fury?) is now Level 15 (so, either one regressed in levels?). Post-match Engineer is Level 18 (makes sense). Post-match Sentinel is Level 13 (so, again, regressed in levels?).

That's what's confusing. I'm thinking you've got some wrong screenshots uploaded or confused some screenshot links.

But otherwise, I agree with the sentiment. Yesterday was a carry sort of afternoon with my Cabal, but I liked it because it made me better, gave me good practice for Platinum games, and I gave people credits. I'm okay with that. Also, any PUG scoring 99,000 is fine in my book, you didn't carry that one, in my opinion. Carrying is more like my set map/enemy Jade/Reapers game where I scored 160,000 and the Juggy and Collector scored roughly 40,000 each and the game dragged to roughly 40 minutes because there were about three waves in there where I had to solo the majority of the spawn budget and let them watch from spectator mode because I couldn't always get to them to revive in time.

So this thread got to two pages based entirely on blowhard posts? Interesting...

Hey, Simba. Does anyone quote The Lion King at you when you go down in a PUG? And if not, wanna add me so I can finally put my encyclopedic knowledge of The Lion King to good use?

I love Lion King.

When I watch it now, I finally see the genius parallels to the human world.

For example, the whole sequence with Nala persuading Simba to come back. She basically has to put out to make Simba do anything about his uncle turning the whole kingdom into an island of despair.

I think I might have played with you yesterday. You were a fury on Jade and someone tanked on gold. Then we played on Hazard Ghost. I was the QMI that ended up duoing half the waves we did.

I always go out of my way to revive teammates:  up until it puts the mission at risk.  I literally drop what I'm doing to go revive, even across the map.  Many of my matches in the past have scrubbed because I took reviving teammates too far.  During this game, I even focused on enemies that my teammates were fighting, which in turn kept them alive longer.  On the extraction wave, I had no gels/ops left.  I barely made the run myself.  If I stop to revive, no one extracts.

If I go down, the mission fails:  simple as that.  Once I started to get low on gels/ops, I kited enemies away to still revive.  Even managed to get them about half the time, despite everything still being alive.  If I go rushing in with 5 sec cloak and a combat drone that ignores my invisibility, I'm asking for trouble.  Get hit once and it's a stagger - then cloak runs out, and I get gunned down by the two Primes and multiple Rocket Troopers still alive.  Anyone that has played with me knows that "hiding behind meat shields" is not my M.O.

And hm.  I don't remember saying I carried anything.  I said I pulled it out; in doing so, I attempted to remove any connotation of bravado.  


I suppose I may have come across as harsh, I just found some of your statements surprising. It sounded a lot like you were criticizing the PuGs and saying you had to do all the work, but the pictures and your statements didn't seem to support that story. You said you couldn't revive them becaue you were out of gel and ops packs, but you also said you had all of those until Wave 7. You said two players were adepts, but your score screen says Engineer/Sentinel/Adept.

I didn't mean to misinterpret your statements as an E-peen thread about carrying bad PuGs.

These are the right screenshots.  The screenie showing the "mission successful" is the accurate one.  Because I took the lobby shots post-match, they must have changed their character(s) before I snapped them.

Ha.  Sometimes.  It's funniest when I first enter a lobby, and before I even make it out of the loading screen, I hear people singing songs from the movie lol.  You can add me whenever the next time you're on.

It wasn't terribly bad until wave 7 and forward.  It was then/later when I started to burn through consumables trying to get them.  Then I was low on gels/ops and had to solo pretty much every wave.  Just wouldn't have been a good idea with 2/3 gels left, 625 health/shields, and teammates that went down in ridiculously dangerous surroundings to continue wasting consumables.  I started to think about what I needed to do to get extraction.  Like I said - I always revive up until it puts extraction at risk.  In that territory, it becomes "I'll try to get you - if I can."  If I die, the mission scrubs at wave 7, probably sooner.

Most PUGs actually need a silent hero who takes them through a Gold/Plat game. That, or find another lobby, both tactics work.;)


I honestly wonder why so many keep on trying to get carried. I don't believe there are so many carry-capable gold/plat players, they must fail a lot. Perhaps the wave 6 cash-in is already rewarding enough for these guys?
My impression(which is just that) on pc gold/plat is that there's about 4/10 who are on the wrong difficulty level, 4/10 who are decent enough (not dead weight, but can't carry), 2/10 who are good to elite and may carry.

I personally can't understand how you can have fun knowing that your actions have little to no impact on how the game is going. And if you can't have fun, why play at all?

Just to clarify, so Pic 1 was post game of the crew line up, Pic 2 is just to show their N7 Ranks but Pic 3 was the first you took of the bunch?

Dodgy lobbies like these are far too common these days but tbf I think the Krogan did a'ight, Rio isn't an ideal map for hammer smashing everything, even if it was against the Geth.

But I'm surprised at the Turian Engineer though, I take it he wasn't even remotely interested in nade spam? o_O

As for a weak Fury, well I can probably count the number of good performances I've seen from PUGs in the last few months, on a single hand XD

Edit: Oops, you already answered my questions. :pinched:

anyways, thats pretty much PS3 pugs. Occasionally I run into the amazing PUG, but those are EXTREMELY rare. It's like finding a 500$ bill on the floor.

So it happens................

Wave 6 Gold cash is the same as an entire Silver run with extraction, and brings a chance of someone carrying. There is no reason for people to pug Silver or under if all they want is the cash.

You're one of the lucky ones then. I rarely get in a lobby with people who can carry their own weight.

lol. Sorry if I haven't been active much on your friends list :P, feel free to delete me if I am clogging up your list:P 
Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but I can actually count with two hands the amount of good lobbies I've been in PUGwise.
