^Will do, good sir. I put an 'avoid' on each of them, so if/when we're playing together hopefully they shan't be seen.
Look forward to playing with you again soon. Off topic: You're really quite good for a new / less experienced player. Just wanted to give you a public shout out
.
Great.
Thanks. Ha ha but don't forget that awful gold game we had where I got my pretty bug's ass handed to me in the worst way possible. 
I actuallly didn't feel like playing ever again after that one, lol.
Which platform are you on Ran(hope you don't mind me calling you that)? I'm PS3 and I wouldn't mind playing a few rounds with you
I can't promise you the best game. But I will give it my best shot for you not to get those 15 revives
I'm online until Sunday, after that... who knows how long I'll be absent.
PS3, myself, actually. My PSN is the same as my BSN ID. I'm actually on a semi-haitus, since I'm focusing a lot more on various single player RPGs (trying to get some Platinum Trophies) but I do still at least play a few rounds a day.
I will warn you in advance, though: I only complain about this stuff since I'm not good enough to be unaffected. Yeah, I have some decent level UR guns and the BOTB banner, but that comes naturally with enough playtime. (536 hours according to N7 HQ.) Honestly, I spend so much time scrambling to babysit allies that I haven't been able to actually commit to improving too much, myself. As such, I'm not exactly among the elite class or anything. I'm not downright terrible, but I firmly believe the only reason I regularly score well is because of my gear.
So yeah. I'd love to play with you, just don't expect me to be the best, either, is what I'm saying. I also apologize in advance for my voice, if I say anything; it's nasal. Something pinched during surgery about 20 years ago and I've sounded like this ever since, basically. A lot of people mistake me for a girl. It's kind of funny.
(I also was not kidding about needing to leave and run some errands. Leaving in a few minutes. I'll be back in a few hours.)
Great.

Don't let a bad game or three or twenty get to you. It happens to the best of us. I've had games where I downright felt I was a shame to my "Best of the Best" banner, and I've seen people with over 200,000 challenge points get Banshee Grabbed 5 times over the course of one match. We all have those bad sessions. Sometimes it's real world events getting to us, going to blow stuff up to kill steam, but just being too distracted to commit to the match. Sometimes it's simply fatigue and being a little worn out. Sometimes it's needing to put the controller down because of a crisis. It can be literally anything. Sure, some people may get frustrated at a "bad teammate" (I'm proving myself to be a prime example, in this thread) but it's a momentary thing. It's not like we immediately note their usernames and blacklist them, you know? There's always next time!
Hang in there!
Weird
Dropped into Gold/Hydra/Collectors. And I immediately notices somethings weird. Ok, I got downed almost right away, since the lag and abomination grabbing me. What's weird is the fact I get stomped on, but not killed. And get revived... by a thin air, apparently.
I know there were other players in there with. I could hear the flamer going on all the time and I heard when one of them would get downed. But there was no indicators on the screen... no time left to hack, no killfeed, not even names in the pause menu... other than my own. And the notification popped up when one of would get an achievement, for 50 kills, lets say. But that was it.
So what happened people? Game crapping on me? Seeing this is PS3, I doubt it was a hack, but this never happened before.

And I'll warn you in advance. I don't have a mic. Still, would love to play anyway
I'll add you the next time I sign in. I'm on GMT +1, so hopefully we can coordinate something up.
That bug does occur sometimes on all platforms, I think. I know I get it on PC from time to time, and it doesn't seem to be lag related.
lolVolusReeguard
Tried this build for the first time on Dagger Hazard/Cerberus (in fact, one of the setups I hate the most, thx randoms). Pretty good match where I ended up first with 125k. Not gonna pretend it was my best, but that build was surprisingly obliverating 
Felt good showing to the world the power of the Voluses
That bug with the invisible teammates is rare, but it does happen. When it does, I like to make it known that "Okay, for the record, I can only see (Player's name) though I know other people are here. I'm sorry for not getting you up, but I can't see you."
The very first time it happened, the kill medals showing up were for "N7_Operative" and I thought it was some kind of event. I was excited! Then I get back to the lobby and I'm like "Who the hell are you three!?"
Lawl
Some pug modded his claymoar to have rapid fire.
And then we kicked him afterwards 
Mattock
...is Gold-worthy, and now 3 more people knows that (Goddess/Reapers, outscored everyone).
Lessons
Another match with a fellow TGI-Saber (lately I'm finding more Saber users....my influence no doubt ), this time in Vancouver/Collectors. I just love to compete with any Saber user out there Marksman competitions with that rifle just seem....authentic.
Thing is, he still needed a bit of practise. I ended up 1st and he ended up last, by an enourmous margin. I also had that epic wave clutch where I killed half of Wave 7 all by myself. Gained a "well done!" by mic at the end of it ^^
Mattock

According to Kalence, the Mattock and Harrier damage is IDENTICAL
But the Mattock weighs a lot less, so I'd actually like to try it on casters, except I never get Assault Rifle Amps

It's identical, yes. But their DPS are like day and night.
The Harrier has a fixed one, while the Mattock directly depends on tapping your fingers into your mouse/button of the gamepad like there's no tomorrow. It's no problem if you manage to keep it all together the entire match, but it undoubtely requires more practise and ability than the Harrier.
Now that we're talking about it....let's just face it: the Harrier is bugged, period. It's description says it delivers slightly less punch than the Mattock, yet it's damage (and probably force, too) is seemingly identical. And of course there's also the famous stability bug (stability in the Harrier is inverted....it's more stable when outside cover than when in cover). Granted, they're small bugs (even with slightly less damage, it'd still be a monster, and you can ignore stability altogether with class stability bonuses and/or a Stabilization Module), but still...
Lessons
Another match with a fellow TGI-Saber
If we're talking about the Assault Rifle that casually stun-locks Atlases and bosses like no tomorrow thanks to being a semi-auto sniper rifle - That was my first N7 unlock and one I fell in love with for my TurInfil (seeing as they benefit from AR's). That thing packs a serious wallop, even at level 1 with mediocre equip mods - Love it.
Unfortunately, any time I crack out my Saber, I tend to end up in matches where the lag is completely unplayable, nevermind aimable.

Haha, I just love stunt-locking Praetorians. They look so intimidating and superior...until I shoot them in their balls (seriously, has anyone else thought that those things behind a carapace that resembles a bra are otherwise?), and make them spin in pain. Extra points if you do that when it's close and ready to attack you or a teammate. Priceless.
If you want, add me as a friend and we'll compete sometime*. I've a FTTH line and am in Europe, so if you're too, you should have decent lag if I host.
*Just not against Cerberus. I HATE Cerberus with the Saber.
Hilarious.
Dropped into a silver lobby to level my Sentinels back up. Was using a Level 6 Volus (1 Drone, 1 Decoy, 5 Shield Boost) with a Wraith IV. One guy was immediately talking smack and saying stuff about me. So I started quoting a movie, "If you're looking for ransom, I can assure you I don't have any credits. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills that make me a nightmare to earth-clans like you." The other two were in stitches, as I ended with "I will find you. And I will kill-steal."
I came in first, for the record, beating out a TSE, a juggernaut, and human adept.
Mattock
...is Gold-worthy, and now 3 more people knows that
I've used the Mattock tons on Gold. It's still great for a more power-oriented class if you can click fast enough. Macros are for ******s. 
Using it on a weapons platform on Gold is a one-way ticket to carpal tunnel syndrome, though. Even used it in a Plat game on a QME once, did fine. Scored 3rd with a respectable 130k or something like that. Arc Nades and tech/fire splosions helped a lot, but it still seems viable, if not necessarily that good.
You know what goes great with the Mattock? A trigger macro.
For that, I'd just switch to the Harrier D:
IHaveNoIdeaIfYou'reTalkingToSomeoneICan'tHear.....
But, damn, what sounds like somebody talking to himself the entire game and teehee'ing and giggling every now and then is just plain creepy.
Especially when it's in french and I can't understand a word of it 
For that, I'd just switch to the Harrier D:
Humiliating
Got paired with jugg, TGI and novaguard, me as AA, Dagger, Gold, Reapers. Both TGI and jugg were sporting Harrier and while I outscored TGI, the jugg outscored me.
I'm such a disappointment to adepts everywhere.
Also, I figured out I haven't the foggiest how to use Acolyte properly. The charging time seems ridiculous and you can't even fire this thing uncharged. What am I doing wrong?
I use my Acolyte only as a situational weapon, if I'm under cover and against a boss-level like an Atlas. Charge-shot-cover-repeat until it has no shields. Then a few shots with the Saber, and then it comes that cool guy scene where I turn my back and don't give a crap about it while it explodes.

I hold it down all the time, let go briefly when I need to fire, and immediately hold it down again. If it helps, try to work it into a shoot-cast-shoot-cast rhythm.
What cra$h$uit said. Also, I find this easy on Xbox, but hard on PC - for some reason the training of my left mouse finger won't hold the thing for long and autoreleases.
GotCredits?
A pug sent me a message saying "im glitcher i can help you only do a platinum lobby and invite all win 130,000 credits in 1 platinum" LOL! This Pug was the host with the glitching set up. Fail, maybe? Didn't even bother to play with him, 'cause it was so hilariously pathetic. Also, ME3 is becoming a bit empty.
