Scorewhore.

 

Yeah, these guys were great at scoring points, but they could not close the objectives. One helped me by missling the enemies coming up on me for the device, but decided not to target the banshee, apparently, so I got synced.

Predator OP, Bivar pls nerf.

 

Srsly, the M3 has a decent damage and a high rate of fire with good accuracy. It's not half bad.

My Shuriken scored 160K. It was GI, so nothing special. If it wasn't GI, I call HAX!

DERP (All around: Me too)

U/U/G. (Giant Collectors) So in the lobby, we have a Fury with a Black Widow and a Spitfire, and I'm pulling at my beard debating on whether or not to turn my mic on (new headset, yay) to ask wtf. They, thankfully, left. They were promptly replaced by a QME with over 10k N7, 70k challenge points, and 99 promotions as an engineer, sporting an Indra X. We also had a lower level vorcha sentinel with us, and we started the match with just us three (I,was my Asari Justicar, using my old favorite DR/Shield Regen build. For awhile I was discouraged from using it because how freaking DARE I not give leechers their coveted speedruns! But you know what, their freaking fault for not contributing, if I have to solo, I'll play my way, damnit!) Our eventual final member joined early on. A Destroyer with a Phaeston.

Wave 3, it's down to just the engineer, since I got praetorian'd while trying to get another member up, and I swear he used all his medi gel finishing that wave. I'm actually kind of ashamed of myself for such an elementary mistake; I tried to revive a guy at a corner without poking my head out to see what was there. Still, I will admit, I was left wondering why this guy did some of the things he did, like sprinting through a crowded area to turn around and shoot from the other side, when he was in no danger of being flanked from his original position. Still, I can't complain, we won thanks to him.

Great.

Ghost/Gold/Collector. For once, I ended up with a skilled biotic team. The poor bugs didn't stand a chance against all the booms.

Insulting.

 

Dropped into a Dagger Cerb GIP with a Slayer who talked French nonstop to his buddy. He died every wave on the other side of the map but a friendly Juggernaut kept picking him up. At the end of the match we all extracted. I was 3rd on the scoreboard with 80K. The Slayer was 4th with 50K.

 

We readied up for the next match. The Slayer didn't put on any equipment. The other two players had bonded and seemed happy with how our group had played so they asked if we wanted to switch from preset to UU. I said yes, which was when they realized I was female. Rolled Vancouver Cerberus. The Slayer kept dying, but did try on objective waves, so I revived him when I could. I had a good match and placed first with 160K. The Slayer again had 50K. The other two players quit the lobby as soon as the scores were up.

 

Third match, the Slayer became host and we picked up 2 new PUGs. Rolled Hydra Reapers. He still didn't put on equipment. I had switched to AA with suppressor pistol (which I am not very good with) and was a bit squishy so I only revived when he was in a relatively safe place (almost never). On a later wave everyone died and I clutched badly, dying twice to marauder fire. I resorted to missiles for the banshees because I was paranoid I'd get picked up due to lag and fail. While I'm kiting I notice the French guy keeps saying "putain" (******) to his friend. I can't really understand most of the rest of it, but it definitely wasn't "Oh, Banshees are whores" but rather "look at this ****** who can't even clutch."  We get back to the lobby and place first and last again. I almost never vote to kick but I'm tired of listening to this guy spouting off so I place a kick on him, at which point he definitely starts calling me "******." I leave.

 

I'm ok helping players who don't have gear or skill, but I'm not ok with getting insulted for being a woman who happens to outscore someone. He was the one getting paid to lie on his back for 20 minutes, not me.

 

/rant

 

Actually it made me like this community even more, because even though I've met my share of jerks, this is the first time I've been called ****** in over 2000 hours of play. ME3 FTW!

Insulting.

... now just think how much more of an enjoyable time you could have had if you'd picked up Edorian's invite last night when I was in a lobby with him

I think it helps a lot that most people do not communicate at all. There is no text chat and most people on PC don't have a mic. Otherwise you'd run into insults more often.

Another reason is that most players are adults (at least that was my impression), so the entire community is somewhat more mature than others.

I wasn't there so I can't speak to the nuance, but although you understand the literal meaning of "putain", you may not understand that it is idiomatically used as an exclamation roughly equivalent to the English/American expressions "dammit" or "oh hell" or "bugger" or (maybe the closest) "sun on a beach!", and is relatively rarely used as a directed personal insult. In the latter case, it's normally used as part of a complete phrase. Just saying that you may be feeling insulted due to a misunderstanding.

I did consider this, but he didn't use it as an exclamation. It was very conversational and definitely used in the middle of long sentences repeatedly. He had also not used it in the previous matches, despite getting sync killed and stomped repeatedly. When I voted to kick him it was also said with malice, not like "oh, shi- someone wants to kick me!"

[EnemySpinach]

If it's any consolation, Shinobu, a lot of people need to ask my gender, since some people think I'm a girl. I guess the PSN name not being masculine like BicepMan28 is a contributing factor as well, but admittedly my voice is not exactly manly either. So that kind of thing has happened to me a small handful of times, too. Last time it happened (coincidentally, it was a french guy as well, were you on PS3? Could have been the same guy, maybe) I shocked him by revealing I knew french and he could go swallow his own excrement if he wanted me to finish the wave (and was the last one standing, objective wave, objective not completed yet.)

 

[Loufi]

Ah those french  !

 

I confirm that "putain" is very rarely used as an insult, the closest english word for it is "dammit". In some situations, guys with verbal tics tend to use it every 3 words, that's maybe why you felt that they were insulting you repeatedly. But I wasn't here to hear their tone and I agree that this guy was certainly a jerk.

Sorry you've had to put up with that.    No, I'm on PC, and I doubt it was an alt account given the way he played. Good on ya for sticking up for yourself! I did consider leaving instead of clutching, but it didn't seem fair to the other 2 PUGs.

Well, as you and marksmad said, perhaps I took offense at something not directed at me, though I have my doubts. If you go down to the French portion of the BSN there may be a complaint about me:

 

I was playing Slayer and this crazy American woman was too busy chasing points to revive me! And then she heard me complaining about Banshees and tried to kick me! So I called her a **** since she thought I was calling her that anyway!

 

Also, no "e-boob post"? BSN, I am disappoint.

[q5tyhj]

 I... placed first with 160K. 

Pff.. put that massive e-boob away.

Incendiary Reegar kroguard, Harrier Demolisher w/GC, Hurricane TSol and Spitfire Krosol w/GC (me). 

 

Jade/Geth took 15:10 with devices....so cheeasy, lol.

[AngryBobH]

noobs

 

Collectors/hazard glacier/gold (set to U/U/G). All 3 of these guys had hardly any gear, low CP, and low grade weapons (wraith 3 on a kroguard was the best one). I thought, why not and readied up. It was a total cluster from beginning to end but everyone used missles and gels(WTF?), had a couple rez parties but, in the end, we all extracted. Which, of course, was the absolute last thing I expected. I don't remember their names but they actually fought hard to win.

 

from that to

 

total professionals

 

set to hydra/reapers/gold. I showed up with a juggy (only 3 more to go, I hate this guy, too slow). Everyone did their jobs, hardly anyone dropped. Actually a bit boring.

U/U/G. (Giant Collectors).

 

The first two waves we (in fact I) where running around like headless chicken, chased by collector captains and their swarms. I was out of all my medi gels (yes, all 2 of them) by wave 3. We decided to camp the lz. That worked not that bad until wave 6, center hack. It was a nightmare, but that one talon mercenary was able to finish the clean up. Back in our camp spot we managed to get to wave 10. The second pizza was on the opposite side of the map and the last man standing died literally next to the lz.

Mission failed. What a bummer.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Sounds familiar. I've had a mission fail on Giant where I was the last man on wave 10 and I was taken down and dropped the last pizza about the width of an Asari combat boot from the EZ. And I had no gel left.

Took my newly promoted baby Raider Cabal into some Bronze.  After a mostly uneventful game on Bronze/Dagger/Cerberus, Pug 1 bleeds out on Wave 11.  Back in the lobby, Pug 2 puts a vote kick on him.  Neither one of them had a mic up until this point.

 

Pug 1 (plugs in mic):  OH!  SO YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE KICK ME NOW BECAUSE I REFUSE TO MEDIGEL?!

 

Pug 2 (plugs in mic):  No, I voted to kick you because when I went down you ran over my body, and that was disrespectful, plus you were getting in front of me and stealing my kills.

 

Pug 1:  YOU WANNA SEE KILLSTEALS?  I CAN BRING THE POWER!  YOU WANNA SEE POWER?  I CAN BRING OUT THE SPITFIRE JUGGERNAUT!!  WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT?!?!

 

(For the record, what I thought of it was that, last game, I joined on Wave 3, and my Level 4 Cabal outscored both of them at Level 20.  The fact that he presumed switching to a Spitfire Juggernaut would constitute an increase in power was downright comical.  However, I kept this thought to myself and readied up).

 

We got Bronze/Jade/Collectors.  Pug 1 immediately called Black Screen, followed by Pug 2 claiming not to be able to see players or enemies.  They both dropped out before Wave 1 even began.  I went on to earn a Bronze Solo credit.

On the topic of the rare and unfortunate in-game sexism, I was actually tempted to record a samping of me saying stuff I'd say in ME3 to share with the BSN. Fortunately for all of you, Youtube went "LOL WRONG FORMAT" at me when I converted it into a video file (stupid 3rd hand comp I'm not used to, never had that happen before) and tried to upload it. So you have all been spared from my... voice. Indeed. *cough*

 

 

As for my last Pug...


1/2 (Two pugs did well, me and another pug did not)

 

Jade/Collectors/Gold. I was my BatSent, wielding a Kishock, in lag. OW. I came in 3rd, barely breaking 100k points. 4th was a Carnagespam Kroguard who died more times than a Spirfire Drell does in Platinum. Literally the only reason we extracted was our combined forces of Paladin and our Salarian Infiltrator.
