I can live with trying and failing, but not even trying? And its the end of wave 9 on gold? Seriously? Weak! I guess the lesson here is that you pretty much cannot die if you're pug'ing, because there's about a 95% chance the missed gets scrubbed if you do.

Yes.

That has largely been my experience as well. If you permanently die, the PUGs almost always seem to wipe shortly thereafter.

It's really, really awesome when you find some that don't. But then, of course, you'll usually get stuck "waiting for other players" after the match, so you end not being able to stay and play more with them.

In the last few weeks I've seemed to usually end up with at least 1 other player in PuGs than can carry a wave if needs be - I think I've only had 2 or 3 gold wipes since Christmas where it's been down to me getting synch-killed.

I was under the impression that randoms (on PC at least) have been getting better... ?

I was referencing my PS3 experience. Our "average" folks appear to have dropped off. Gold PUGs are either filled with grizzled old veterans like me, completely brand new people whose mic chatter makes it apparent that this is only their second or third match, or folks who look like they may be decent and then turn out to be leechers who bleed out at the start of every wave so they don't get auto-kicked for 2 minutes of inactivity.

You are finding different randoms than me!  I though they were getting worse.  Except those occasional games when some real pro just dominates, making me look like a complete scrub.

Landed in wave 2 with a good player (NinjaRevolution). I was using the Vsol on my N7 59 account. We two manned the match.

26 minute Gold duo on Vancouver vs Reapers. Actually went quite smooth ...

Disaster

[jrm_ayun]

Great

Seemed like they were new (one n7<120) except one. They didn't score too well specially the newest guy but they did objectives, revived, and followed me when I told them not to camp lz on the extraction wave and ran when I told them to. That's rare XD

RAGE

Phantom melee'd a destroyer next to me, then proceeded to shank my abdomen with her sword. I rage rocketed all the things in the next wave.

Kudos to the crusader GI for clutching it as the last man standing in the beginning of the wave! Used up like 5 medigels to get away from a phantom death squad.

Yeah, I think this is Murphy's law; when I manage to find a PUG with some good players, I will absolutely, positively, most definitely get WFOP after the 1st match and have to quit. Grrr! 

And it seems to me that the pool of players/games has gotten a bit worse since the holidays- but remember that EA had all the mass effect titles on sale, so I'd imagine we got a decent chunk of new players playing the game around xmas. That's my theory at least.

But this reminds me of another PUG I had a few days earlier- two of the players were basically worthless, spending 95% of each round spectating, but the other player is a QMI with BotB banner. Once again, I get synced up near the end of wave 9 (and the two terrible players are dead as well, needless to say), but I figure our best of the best QMI can clutch half a wave... Wrong! Guy runs around for like 10-15 minutes without managing to kill a single thing (probably had something to do with the fact that he was using the Krysae- I can only pray he was working on SR mastery and not using it by choice), then dies and bleeds out. Lol. Best of the best?

Although at least I couldn't really fault the guy- what's the point in gelling when you can't kill anything anyways?

So yeah, don't ever die, because then you lose the game. Or just play with friends.

No cover.

Atlases were shooting me through multiple walls.

[x_DonMarfil_x]

silent

entered a UUG-lobby with my KroSent (doing Blood Pack mastery) and saw three low-N7-Warlords.

Me: Hi guys. I may switch to a warlord aswell, if you want.
PUGs: silent, not readying up.
Me: Hallo?
PUGs: silent, not readying up.
Me. Anybody home?
PUGs: silent, not readying up.

I left the lobby after noticing nobody but me using any equipment.

Upset.

Was pugging a silver game where the host had a N7 rating of 13. They died here and there, but they weren’t awful considering they must be new to the game. On wave 11 everybody extracts apart from the host.

Whilst waiting for the loading screen and scoreboard, one of the other puts their mic on and shouts abuse at the host more or less saying they are so bad at the game that they should never play this game ever again. They promptly leave the lobby after the abuse.

Don’t understand why they were upset. The host is new, the match took a reasonable amount of time and everyone got the full credits (apart from the host who gets 10% less due to failing to extract).

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I think they were all BSNers, but I didn't recognize any of them.

Some people are just tools, it can't be helped unfortunately.

I don't rage at other people, I save that for bs deaths and my own incompetence.

[Taffel80]

Played silver, started with a random dude. Some ppl joined on wave 3 of 4, but left when they kept dying all the time. Host eventually left also, had to solo wave 9, happily I had 6 missiles again Then some ppl joined, killed something, died and left. At wave 11 I had a full team again and the full extraction. Played Fury, so was a bit difficult by myself, she's a bit squishy.

Really annoying when ppl just leave the game and leave everyone else one, two of even 3 men short.

Thanks for the reassurance Cato. Just to clarify the “Upset” referred to person that got upset. I was more disappointed with them for their unreasonable outburst.

Predator

I played silver for the predator pistol challenge with GI to speed it up. White / Collectors and the three others are dying like flies. I did my best to revive them but its pretty hard when they all spread around to die. First time I outscored others with predator only 


Duo

Last night I brought my Batadept to platinum, I used the Lashless Claymore build. Anyway as soon as I enter the lobby there is only host present and he readies up immediately with Fury. He seemed like he knows what he's doing so I readid up. Got London/ Reapers and we are just tearing tem apart as a duo. I played better than in ages and the fury was just incredible. At wave 2 a Puggernaut jand Krolord joins us. The Krogan dude seemed ok but he dropped at wave 3. The Puggernaut however was something else. True to his name he kept wandering around in the open sometimes shooting his spitfire. And dying. Constantly and all the time. After wave 6 we didn't even bother to res him. Even HM all things would have been better for decoy purposes. Anyway we managed to finished wave 10 targets but unfortunately on extraction wave we both got downed simultaneously and both out of medigel so mission failed  but great game nonetheless. The Fury scored about 180k and I had 160k and puggernaut with massive 20k .

Last pug in one word...

Nice7

Jumped into a UUG-lobby with already three N7s in it. They asked very friendly, if i could switch to a N7 too. I dusted off my shadow and we had a very smooth cerberus glacier run. Sadly one of them disconnected and a GE jumped in, so they left the lobby to catch up their friend again i think, not without thanking me very friendly before.

BTW: They didn't use the ingame text chat, but something else. Messages appeared green on black in the down left corner. Does anybody know what that might be?
