I haven't posted here lately, so here's my last several "First PUG of the day" experiences:
1) Exasperation
I was in the mood for wallhax shenanigans so I used my Drell Infiltrator with a Black Widow and Drill Rounds. Dropped into... Firebase hydra, late in wave 1. Oh. Well. That's dissapointing. The host was a Juggernaut. The bad kind. I don't mean melee spammer. At least you don't need to revive those ones on WAVE ONE! The guy was using a sniper rifle and a shotgun, AND spamming siege pulse every time he had a freed up cooldown, never dropping a turret or shield at all.
No one else joined the game. I got my 15 revives medal by wave 4 or 5. And think about it. A DRELL, who needs to stop moving to revive a JUGGERNAUT, and doesn't die doing so... just what the hell was that Juggernaut doing to die so much!? It may as well have been a solo!
2) Reactions (Alternate Title: MeltingFaces)
4 Kroguard party, Collectors/Reactor. On wave 5 or 6, I locked everyone in the reactor, including myself. Their reactions? "I SWEAR TO GOD I AM GOING TO FIND A WAY TO REPORT YOU, YOU GODDAMN TROLL!" Nevermind the fact that I DIDN'T DIE because there were enemies to charge, and they were all a bunch of idiots for using carnage in their final seconds, so they have no one to blame but themselves for their demise! I just laughed at them and challenged them to stop making me revive them all the time if they had a problem with it, as I already had my 15 revives medal because no one charged once (besides me) that whole time.
3) Familiarity
Ended up running into SterlingPhoenix. Pleasant surprise. Games went well. No more needs to be said.
4) Contest (Alternate Title: Pathetic)
Imagine, if you will. One player using a Damage Over Time build, and everyone else going all out to try to finish off what is going to die in one second anyways, instead of attacking the enemies that are a legitimate threat. This happens literally every time I use my Cryo Soldier, without fail. And it is absolutely hilarious. This time was ramped up to 11, since I dropped into a game in progress with all of us using grenade builds (Destroyer, KroSol, QME) so we were actively fighting over grenades as well, and they actively used theirs at times they normally probably wouldn't, just to make room for another one so they could grab it instead of me. Pretty funny, but it got annoying. By the end of the game, I was plenty happy to go find a new team.
