I had lots of fun with the stun locking geth engineer today! Thanks for the build Lux Caelum!
Glad you had fun with that one. He is by far my favorite engineer and one of my favorite characters in game just because he can be played in so many ways and every time feel like completely different character, and whatever he does he is the best at it. Btw, did you went with Hurricane or CSMG?
I usually score very low as the geth engineer medibot build but I used to just chalk that up to simply prioritizing the revivals and shield regen deployment. With this build, I've been scoring significantly higher than usual. Scorpion is also an excellent weapon to setup the cryo effect. I didn't realize that the cryo freeze takes into effect while the slugs stick into the body, not after the explosion. Cryo ammo is really, really good for this weapon, it seems! The geth turret build is also very good. The flame turret surprisingly triggers some fire explosions when before I couldn't make it do anything but tickle things.
My only problem with the build is that the kit goes down like a wet tissue paper. I thought of putting evo 4 on shield regen, but that compromises the damage output of the turret. Otherwise, pretty darn good. On Wii U, I don't go down quickly but on PC, it happens far more often but the PC run was the first time I've used the kit.
On Wii U, I used the hurricane and it was great but also on Wii U, I can deal with the hurricane's recoil. On PC, I used the collector SMG and it was fine. I didn't have issues with the ammo running out, but I usually fire in short bursts. I don't believe it ever hit 0. My collector SMG had the extended clip and that seemed to help.
Proper.
A proper Krogan doing proper headbutts between waves.

I know it's sacrilege to suggest it, but I actually like running the kit without Hunter Mode. Combos don't benefit from Power damage bonuses, so if you're focusing on fire turret/chain overload you don't lose as much as it might at first appear.
Mind you, I can't use Hunter Mode (it blinds me) so it's a lot easier for me to go without it. for people who can see in Hunter Mode, it's a lot harder to rationalize skipping it.
...wat?
So was playing with randoms against Derperus in Firebase Reactor. Very smooth match. But then... at the end of wave 7 I think, my teammates start shooting at the top of one of those... reservoirs or whatever the heck they are called. I don't see anything so for a while I think they are just ****** around. No, they keep shooting and try to use their powers too, and finally I hear some Cerberus trooper... but I can't see him. Apparently the others can but they fail to kill him. For the hell of it I fire a missile to where I think the others see him. Nothing. They shoot a missile as well. Nothing. Oh great, stuck in a never ending wave again so had to exit the match. ![]()

Sometimes the enemy gets stuck up there.
Can take a while to dislodge them
Weapons don't seem to have much effect though.
Damn, I wonder if we could have continued the match if I waited some more. The enemy was completely invisible to me though and even missiles apparently did nothing =P. In one Gold match we had a Phantom stuck in the wall, ignoring all bullets and powers, but we managed to clear it with a missile.

Sometimes they work, but missiles are often inefficient in those situations. Many times it seems that enemies get a huge damage reduction (something like 99%), so it can take a while to kill them, but it's possible. If nothing works, the best move is to wait for the host to leave, what of course resets the wave.
modded
searched for UUG and landed in a lobby with three others - loadout seemed alright so I readied up
got Reactor/Reapers (or so I thought ^^)
there were way too many husks (I didn't care for I got snap cheese EDI) but then it got messy
... lots of engineers (and TURRETS), A-Bombs, Praetorians, Banshees, Scions, Primes, Hunters, Nemesis etc. ... lots of deaths & revives (first time ever I got a gold revive medal ^^) ... several times things got stuck up there somewhere on that beam structure thingy ...
but we extracted - yay (the host left rather quickly though
- would have stayed for another one ^^)

You will survive
there is great survivability in hunter mode (knowing from where enemies are coming, speed, increased damage output and ability to spam overload) and point of stunlock is to get no fire from enemies. You just changed playstyle, it wont take long to get used to it, you are gonna be fine. I go down maybe 1-2 times per match (usually when I do objective in the open or revive teammate who died in bad place). You can still use turret to give you some shields back. For example, when dragoons are about to whip me, I throw a turret next to me to give me my shields back and I dodge from that place and it becomes trap for dragoons because they are charging the place where I was.
Even talking about GE gives me a need to play it. Gonna correct that one tonight.
I did notice that while on my Wii U run that there was way less enemy fire than usual because enemies were either stunned or lying on the ground frozen. That was really cool to see. I should revisit it on PC with some more games under my belt to see how it works. On PC, I did go down quite a bit but that seems to happen when enemies sneak up behind me. I think once I am able to adjust, it'll probably work much better. On Wii U, it was definitely eye opening. ![]()
Overpowered...after running gold mostly lately and not that I'm the best player, but there have been a lot of noobs pugging gold recently, I just felt like I wanted to relax on silver. I tried a new build to me (Human vanilla eng combat drone and overload w/GPS). Ended up pwning in the 4 or so matches that I played. Going to take him to gold and see what happens.

Seen it happen quite a few times in my games. One thing I have noticed that definitely helps in this situation is that hitscan powers i.e that don't have any projectile like incendiary or warp etc do damage those stuck enemies if you can move your cross-hair near them. Energy drain, overload and possibly dark-channel will damage/kill them and won't require wave reset by asking host to leave.
Quiet......
As in there was nobody there. Tried Pugging silver and gold over the weekend and spent a LOT of time searching for lobbies. Was there some new game released that sucked up all the players?

Nope.
Don't think so.
Doom or new Fallout 4 DLC came out but I was playing ME3 mostly.
I keep on getting Dagger Diarrhea, somebody please make it stop, I can't take it any more. I don't even enjoy regular Dagger anymore because of that. I get a small hart attack every time the match starts and I see that brown dusty piece of sh1t.

I have the same problem. I pick Unknown map and 5 out of 10 times it gives me Dagger Diarrhea. Game plz!
Me and Fuen played alone with some pugs, I think it was yesterday or else it was the day before that and he didn't like them because they didn't load equipment and wasn't doing objectives, so he said "we will use them as bait!!" , so we did
That was funny, especially since he said it in the mic for them to hear

100% accurate.
who ever said that the closer you stand to the thing that is doing the hack / upload, makes it go faster..is 100 percent correct. I just did a solo with a justicar on goddess vs cerberus and I got hacks / uploads twice..and I was unable to cheese them....so I would run around, kiting things.. then I would run back and I would stand in places at the out-most areas..to stay in cover, yet still be in the circle....but I noticed it was taking 4 -god - damn ever for the uploads to process...so I went and took cover right next to the actual objects and things sped up by 200%.
