Inspired by CrimsonN7's ME 3 MP Thread.

 

And by "inspired," I mean blatantly stolen! 9319342270_26e288a310_m.jpg    :ph34r:

 

Traditionally, one is supposed to describe the PuG in one word, but over in the ME 3 MP forums, we were pretty bad about actually following that rule...

 

If you're not familiar with the expression:

 

PuG is Pick-up Game, originally. I believe it comes from street basketball/street hockey and other such gatherings. It basically means that you just grab all the nearest players and start the game.

 

In the world of online gaming, and in the world of ME 3 MP, in particular, PuG has also come to mean "Pick-up Gamer," or one of those nearest players that you just grab for the game, i.e. it basically means any random gamer that you just meet and immediately jump into a game with.

 

Of course, this won't be happening for at least a month (unless there's an early MP demo release, like with ME 3, but I have the impression that there are no plans for that.)

 

Personally, it's been a while since I played an MP game as a complete beginner. Even after a six-month break, I still have a solid handle on ME 3 MP's higher difficulties, but DAMP is going to be my first "fish out of water" MP experience in almost 2 years.

 

I'm sort of looking forward to being a newb carried by random strangers online, again.  :rolleyes:

Just a thought..planting fall back plan in the font room, then activating the banner - could a person teleport back there if they were quick enough? People can still spawn in that room if they join a game on 5/5.

That way, you could activate the font later and run back out to join the party, as its been confirmed you can just run through the closed door from that side.


Nope, I accounted for that:(

I'll have to get a screen shot of where it is, doesn't sound like the same spot since they never got stuck. They all just walked through a closed gate like it didn't exist.

I've encountered this a few times as well and I know exactly which gates you are describing. The AI is basically path finding through the gates but players cannot go through them.

Also it was fun playing matches with you the other night;)

Yes the health on the recovery objects does indeed still drop even with barrier. The health bar does stop decrementing while someone is interacting with the object though.

The burning of the objects is activated by player proximity and line of sight, but the focal range for the LOS is quite generous.

Was debating whether to play another few games or go to bed, figured I'd open a couple chests and if I got something good I'd stay up, if not I'd go to bed. First chest nothing, second chest, finally got a Sulevin blade.


Nice! I finally got mine last week as well. The hype is understandable.

Joined a perilous Ferelden Castle PUG yesterday. An excellent second run got interrupted by one player needing to help his gf do something quickly. The rest of us were taking cover in an airlock while waiting so I thought I should have my Zither! provide some musical relief.

Shortly into my random plunking serenade, the Reaver and Avar players began spamming the right Dpad comments. This continued until the fourth player returned and we continued until killing the dragon... No purples:(

Bumped into a player called Bio****** (censored just in case not kosher to post) with a Bioware banner. Dev? Just a pug threatening level dragon match, but it was good and a superb amulet of strength dropped.


Was it me? If it was on PS4 it was probably me while trying out the Silent Sister.
