Routine match, I run my lvl 1 Hunter, also have 3 mages, 2 Keepers, 1 Ele, all 3 over lvl 12, not to worry, should be a nice and easy run..  

 

Second zone, one of the mages finds a rogue door so decides to start calling for me to come and unlock it, normally no problem but, we have a whole bunch of enemies bearing down on us, I happily stand my ground and kill the enemies, instead of giving me a hand all three are now spamming "to me!", "Come To Me!" and "You should see this!"..

 

I finish off the mob, at this point all three firing bolts at me and still spamming their cries, casually stroll over to the door where all three are now jumping up and down, and quit the game..

 

Call a locksmith fools..

I experienced this today. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what was going on, then I remembered seeing this post a few days back.

 

I was in a match with 2 AW's and I was playing on my archer in a perilous match. I was using Longbow of the Griffon.

 

More than once I was really far back and shot a few times into the pack of enemies, and just died almost instantly. Of course the AW's were right up in the mix with them Spirit Blading away. I just shrugged it off the first two times and chalked it up, to getting hit by some invisible archer arrows. Decided I better play it a bit more safe and watch my aggro a bit. So I layed low for room 4 and just played cleanup/shoot and duck around the corner game.

 

We make it to room five and there is no archers around anywhere, I fire a shot at a couple of melee guys that are getting spirit bladed by the AW's , and bam instant death once again.

 

Could it be so that their spirit blade passive boost ability reflects your arrows as well as enemies's?

I've had a few mystery deaths as Archer as well when playing with AW's but I've always thought it was them using the aggro reducing passive and me hitting from the front with Lolshot.

Why would you put a lolshot ring on an arcane warrior?

Brilliant. We have two leechers in the game right now and are unable to kick them. So now we not only get no xp when the game crashes or we lose connection, we also get no xp when we have leechers in our games too. Nicley done BW...brilliant idea with the the flag in zone 5.

Oh that would be hilarious and wrong.

 

Now I want to find someone to test this out with. xD

Surprising.

 

Surprising for several reasons, actually.

 

Had a mixed bag of Threatening PUGs this weekend (in addition to matches with friends), some went smooth as silk and others were awful, flopping fish-dying-on-a-riverbank affairs. That was not surprising.

 

What was surprising was the last PUG I fell into last night. First off, two people were actually using mics! This is surprising because even though PS4 literally comes with a mic, most people are as silent as the PC crowd - I heard much more public talking on PS3 in ME3MP lobbies, where you actually had to purchase a mic. So, odd that we've moved to silence when given a free mic, but eh. I've gotten used to not using my headset unless with friends because of that (don't want to be that annoying PUG that narrates to the lobby by themselves). Hearing those two using mics prompted me to throw my headset on.

 

It was two guys, one who's played a while (but I don't believe was a BSNer) trying to help his buddy, who was new to the game. He was giving some solid Legionnaire build advice, which I seconded. Then he complained a bit about not figuring out any good Archer builds, so I gave him some ideas on that.

 

Things went relatively okay until Zone 5. The two talkers got taken down repeatedly and ended up in the Fade. The non-talker 4th and myself ended up clutching it, which was pleasantly surprising because I'm not a very good clutcher on DAMP yet. Sorta sad because I was a great clutcher on ME3MP. I did not enjoy solos and I was not very fast about them, but if a wave went to pot (or, sometimes, wave after wave), it was almost a guarantee I could get us there in the end, slow and steady. On DAMP, not so much. :( So, even a duo clutch made me feel really good. At the same time, I gave them some advice on boss tells and how to prioritize and general Zone 5 strategy.

 

After the match, Talker # 1 blurted out, "I'm adding this chick to my friends list right now!" as a friend request popped up. Found that amusing. Haven't been added to a PUG's friends list due to good play/knowledge in a while (again, not since ME3MP), so that also made me feel good. Also because I was added due to clutching/knowledge rather than just because I was a chick with a mic (yeah, those instant friend requests because I spoke are... possibly well-intended, but come off as a little creepy). That made me feel good, too.

 

Ended up having to clutch Zone 5 again the next match with help from a new silent 4th PUG, but they were getting better about it. We then tried a Perilous, which I warned would end badly... and it did. On Zone 1. LMAO

 

But that was a nice change of pace from the silent speedruns or the silent rooms of fail I've been getting lately. :)

Had a lot of good games this weekend actually both threat and perilous.  Some very good efficient teams.  Still had a share of disastrous games but most went pretty well.

Nice work DR chicky! 

 

I am not big on soloing either (could do it, just oftens takes too long).  Managed to finish off Demons with Lego (pre-DC nerf), thanks to all that guard building.

I always have my mic on in case anyone in games happens to be talking but they rarely are. The only group of people I've heard lately was some American guy telling a fellow Canadian why his health care was better based on his "expertise" of our system here. This was a few minutes after him on the phone talking about how much money heroine is. Stay classy PS4.

Oh yes, I can see your no.100 position, nice  :).

I'm 46 prestige points behind you, so what's that, 4 promotions for each class? Not going to happen I suspect  :D ...

My absolute favorite was a lobby where one dude was having a conversation with his wife or girlfriend about a subject that I don't even remember now, but it was just a full-on conversation with all the gory details and names mentioned and everything. As if he didn't realize (and she didn't realize) that his mic was on and he was just broadcasting their personal business to the rest of us in the lobby.

 

I considered leaving because it was conversational entrapment by every definition of the phrase, but ended up staying out of pure morbid curiosity to see just how long they were going to have this public "private" conversation. The answer was: for the entire match.

 

Left after that because it was just too weird. And annoying.

 

I have no idea how he was able to play and have a full conversation like that. I mean, when my husband comes in the room and tries to talk to me, I've got to go or take the headset off because I can't give full attention to either (game or husband) and I certainly can't half-play and half-listen, so. :P

I play all classes equally and level them up more or less equally, then promote them all at once.  It is certainly more of a chore with some of my non favorite classes like the Reaver who I can do okay on the lower levels but just get killed on perilous.

I had stayed a few matches as well out of curiousity, wondering "Just how weird can this get?" I had to leave once all the kids started crying and getting yelled at. It sounded like he had 10 of them.

 

I've gotten better at half-playing when my girlfriend comes in and talks to me while playing. The right class helps; high level hunter with LBotG and HoK the other day, cleared out a wave only glancing over every few seconds to make sure I was aiming the right way. Though I'll do her the courtesy of turning my mic off so I don't broadcast our conversations.

May I ask how many times you have promoted each class, BF?

Same here, though my lesser-liked classes are the Hunter, Necromancer, and Templar.

 

idk why, but I feel like sharing how many matches I've finished with each class:

Join a threatening match with my level 8 reaver and recognized a name on it, dragonracer.  Some gamer who trolled her friend about a safe treasure room in a video.  She left right away after I joined and thought maybe she didn't want to play a game with my character because I was too low level.  Quickly realized though when I was wrecking everything that it was because the host did a stealth change to routine and it wasn't because I was low level reaver who she thought was trying to be carried.

Dropped into an in-progress Threatening match that had a Legionnaire and Archer in it already.  I was playing as my Keeper and a level 20 Keeper dropped in with me.  We both readied up and loaded into the match.

 

We get into the match to see that both the Legionnaire and Archer are bleeding out near the end of the zone.  Me and the other Keeper made our way through the zone, keeping each other Barriered as we handled the mobs fairly easily.  We cleared our way through and made it to where the Legionnaire and Archer had both bled out.  I noticed that the Legionnaire had all Inquisition gear and the Archer had what looked like a lowish-level bow and higher tier armor.  I jumped around on their corpses for a bit before getting back to clearing the zone, which wasn't very difficult.  Opened the door and led everyone back to the last treasure room, grabbing the loot inside without issue.  We go to the next zone and it turns out to be the last zone, so I immediately cast a Barrier on everyone as the banner's planted and we started attacking everything that came towards us.  The Archer and Legionnaire went down once more, me picking up the Archer and my fellow Keeper picking up the Legionnaire as I tossed an Antivan Fire on the mobs that were gathered on a flight of stairs.  After a moment or so, the Legionnaire and Archer dropped again at the top of the stairs and went straight to the Fade.  Me and the other Keeper mopped up the rest of the mobs with little difficulty.

 

We get back to the lobby screen and I see it's just me and the Archer left with me as host, so I left.

Huh. Sorry I didn't recognize you or I might have stayed! I wouldn't have left because of a low-level in Threatening (that's not a thing that bothers me and Level 8's not really low for Threatening anyway, technically). Generally, if I leave a match it's because either

 

a ) real life just called me away

 

b ) I needed to take a bio break or grab a drink or otherwise do something that would otherwise keep a lobby waiting unnecessarily

 

c ) the previous match was a horrible fail or had bad lag and I wanted to escape

 

Nothing personal towards you or your character level at all. :)

It's cool.  I didn't take it personal.  It was more of a hey I've seen that person post on the forums.  First time running into a name I recognize from the boards.  Oh she left.
