cerberus
Every lobby I landed in was preset cerberus, finally I was like, whatever I give up.
Wish I at least had your luck. Every lobby I play is set to boring Reapers. Used to remember the days it was always preset to Geth.... and still almost nobody presets it Collectors, so at least this is the same, I guess (but lousy since they be the best done faction that also have fat juicy heads as a bonus).
Stupid Turians, shouting 'Geth!' all the time..
Are you blind?
Here......
Entered IAI20120312's lobby .... and as usual they kicked themselves !
Guardians.
(Neo intonation) Lots of Guardians. Was levelling up an alt account character, landed in a Silver in progress...at first I thought it was just the Silver wave that has lots of Guardians, but then I realized there were like 40 Guardians on the map and nothing else. Every wave was masses of Guardians. At first it was desperate, then it turned amusing, and finally it got tedious, but by then it was wave 11. We got full extraction, and there were a LOT of shields lying in the LZ when we left.
I've seen this one. Every wave the host would text us what the waves were "la guardians" or "la brutes." It was fun until wave 11 "la bad one" which meant phantoms. Only one person made extraction.
Geth,
Geth,
Geth,
Geth,
Gethhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Numerous random games and THEY'RE ALL GETHHHHHHH!
RIGHT WHEN I DECIDED TO GO WITH ASARI ADEPT!
one
As in one good game.
1. Start the evening dropping into dagger reapers gold. 1 player quits while another decides to AFK. I'm shadow striking what I can but fall. Host follows suit. 30 minute game to get wiped wave 8.
2. We all ready and 5 seconds into match it lags like crazy, Unplayable.
3. Re-gear and get dropped back into the same laggy host.
4. Get reapers white that went well. Got 2nd with my human engee.
5. Loading... "squadmate needs help." Loading... "squadmate is down." Loading...
PrematureEDongulation
Searching for U/U/G, I land in a game-in-progress (Hydra/Reapers). Normally I instantly leave a GIP, and I don't have any consumables equipped yet. Indeed, I can already see three skulls lying on the ground. And it's wave 1. This should only reinforce the correctness of my usual GIP policy, yes?
NooOOOoooooo.
For some reason I think, "I can rescue them! I can be a big goddamn hero!" I can only assume that my brain was suffering from loss of blood due to the nascent massive e-dong.
So I clear the area around the LZ, revive the PUGs, and we finish the rest of the wave. Wave 2 they all start going down, I keep reviving them and killing stuff but they keep going down on me. Wave three is the same, and I'm pretty sure I had the gold revive medal by the time we finished it.
Did I mention that I was playing a tank-specced Justicar? With no consumables, hence no warp ammo? It took almost two full clips from my Lancer to take down a single Brute. So when wave four starts, and they all die again, the thought of playing seven more waves of this caused my poor e-dong to shrink like a frightened turtle. A group of marauders caught me in the open, took me down, and I chose to bleed out.
GIP policy confirmed, e-dong retracted.

My Internet connection dropped late in wave 10 in a Ghost Hazard/Reapers/Gold game that I was hosting. I gathered from PMs when my connection came back that QMR and Mordokai sat through the host migration, did the (really annoying) escort mission again and did finish the game.
(Such an annoying waste of consumables, that. Sniper rail amps are like gold dust).
Other than that, it was an evening of mixed fortunes, some reasonable games and some horrible messes. Stayed up for one game more than I should have done, rolling Dagger Hazard for a post-midnight half-asleep game was never going to go well.
Kroooooooogaaaaan!!! RAAAAAAWR! They're deaaaad!!!
Had several golds on Wii U today and learned a few tricks from watching the host play the kroguard. I switched to the kroguard with him and a buddy of mine joined and also switched to the kroguard. Wrecked the geth and it was super funny to see. Another guy joined in and was a krogan soldier to complete the four way krogan headbutt!

I may have used a few colorfoul words that are not forum appropriate when you dropped after just completing the escort. Not blaming you, of course, but dammit, it was annoying indeed.
On a related note, I think I'm going to be taking most of the kits I'm not too good with to Silver, to complete those 200 waves challenges. Might as well enjoy my Gold games with my favourite kits, meaning, all of them sexy asari gals 
Speaking of which, our Silver asari duos were ever so much fun. Nice save on that Reactor/Cerberus game... damn phantom making shiskebob of my Valkyrie.

I concur, always happy to duo Silver with you. I'm leaning towards keeping the justicar for Silver rather than taking her into Gold, I have zero confidence in my ability to play her under Gold-level pressure.

Son, we gonna make you take her into platinum yet 
Seriously, whatever you're comfortable with is fine with me. Though I maintain that if I'm able to play well with Valkyrie, you can do just great with justicar 
International Lagfest. I wasn't the last man standing ... I was the last man dying.

On the plus side, it gave us an easy escort route the second time instead of the drone going back and forth about 3 times in the middle of the damn map.
Destruction
Haven't played the BatSol for a while so took him into a random platinum game and got reapers on White, had almost forgot the level of destruction that kit is capable of, an amazing and fun kit to play.

What?! Those end up into some of the best matches ever!!! Man you missing out...
And leave GiP? Why? You'd skip all the nonsense of extra load screen and waiting on pugs you don't know when you can already be into the meat of ME3mp that is "Playing the game."
If you worried about wasting consumables, then don't worry about it. Otherwise at least slap some level 1 stuff. So yes, I don't believe this whole dropping out of GiP games affair nor to I see a worthy reason for it + it doesn't do anyone any favours + you get way more load screens on top of it if you do leave, if not another GiP.

RediculousMammal started a thread a while back about kick vote policy, and I more or less agreed with what was posted there. My GIP policy is an extension of that, since I've missed the lobby and haven't had a chance to vet the other players. It does mean that I sometimes spend 5-10 minutes looking for a decent lobby, but that's still preferable to spending 20-30 minutes in a fail mission attempting to carry leechers who are too lazy to equip mods on their guns.
I pugged a couple matches last night and landed in btb lobbies with names I recognize from here. Played a good match with Meatisadelicasy and then played btb matches with laughing banana, one gold which turned into a stomp, so the host switched it to plat for another easy match. ggs all

You can't predict the best fun. And I do regret when I leave a lobby without seeing how it would go. When you play pug lottery, you got to play without cheating it and that taking the biggest odds can sometimes lead to best results... there's got to be a reason why so many of us love pug lottery.
backache
Had a rare wipe earlier today, got tired from too many games in a row carrying lobbies full of newbs with no gear.
Yeah it was fun being the hero for a couple games but I'm not good enough to do it all the time and I just got exhausted. Hopefully they get better though, I gave them some useful in game tips like 'stop dying' and 'get over here idiot'.
Maybe I've just had bad luck, but it seems rare to have 4 prepared players in a gold match. Starting to just be happy when there are 3. And when there's 2, often the game "randomly" picks collectors.
