Completely unnecessary post, only to comment that "rambling and pie" sounds like a foolproof strategy for good times.

 

_{Also harvesting info for friend invites, because I haven't hit the limit yet.}

 

I am a big fan of both.

 

Also, two questions for all...

 

1) I feel kind of weird just starting sending people messages on Origin. Is there a chat thread specifically for ME PC players?

 

2) I have a mic but I have no idea how well it works or how the chat system works in-game, since it seems like no-one I've played with has a mic? I have not heard any voices, at least. The only other FPS Multiplayer I've played was via LAN so we just shouted at each other, and I always typed in WoW. But, yeah, any advice for mics?

Not sure about message etiquette myself, since I only hopped on the BSN bandwagon when I returned to ME3 just recently.

 

As far as mic stuff goes, in-game voice is actually pretty good - judging by the folks I've played with who use it. A fair bit of that probably depends on the quality of your hardware. Even if in-game voice lets you down, I think I'm right in saying there are a few folks with access to Teamspeak/Ventrilo/Mumble and the like. Even failing that, I could always check with the gang at OTG and see if anyone would mind my using a room for ME3 games now and then.

I don't know of a PC-only chat thread, but Combat Strategy is basically one big (crazy) chatroom about ME3 multplayer:

 

http://forum.bioware...ombat-strategy/

 

My own approach is that if people add me on Origin, next time I see them online I say hello and exchange a few words. I'd like to know if they are totally deranged/racist/weird before I attempt to play with them...!

 

As to mics, some people talk a lot, some never say a word. As with real life, it's easier to talk to people that one kind of knows. I'd suggest getting some games with people that have added you from here, and asking beforehand if they will talk you through the game.

 

The best test of your mic setup is to make a test call using Skype. Although success with Skype doesn't guarantee success with ME3.

Unfortunately, the game sound setup will occasionally refuse to work with certain hardware, regardless of quality. I have a decent mic and an ordinary mic, the decent one doesn't work at all in ME3 (works fine elsewhere) but the ordinary one does.

 

Teamspeak and the like will work well for an arranged group that can schedule their games. For playing random pug games, the in-game system is your best bet.

Thank you for alerting me to this player-list, Marksmad!

1. I play on the Xbox360, and my GamerTag is the same one that I use for the BSN: SLicK350.
2. I am in Brooklyn, New York.
3. I usually play after 8:00PM, Eastern Standard Time.
4. I play mostly Platinum. I will occasionally play Gold if I want to do the Biotic Charge/Cryo Explosion combination with greater frequency, or if I want use Stasis/Stasis Bubble more often.
5. I do not mind playing on Firebase Giant, but I would rather play on Giant Hazard because the ammunition-crates provide more grenades than Giant, because the night-time setting is more visually-interesting than the day-time setting (IMO), and because the more-frequent cannon-fire and ground-tremors are more challenging (IMO).
6. Although I do not mind playing on Firebase Giant, I prefer the much more difficult maps such as London, Jade, and Condor.
7. I like to battle all of the factions, but I prefer The Collectors and Cerberus; I like The Collectors because, in my opinion, they are the most difficult faction. I like Cerberus because I love to make Phantoms look stupid!

Would anyone be up for helping me play Platinum (Origin ID in the signature)? I should be able to do OK with a proper kit, but I can't carry.

 

I've tried PUGging Platinum yesterday, and it was HORRIBLE. Granted, I didn't bring my best kit myself, but I didn't expect so many incompetent players who shouldn't even be playing Gold. All those 500 challenge points guys with lvl 3 common weapons and no equipment - they join Platinum, too. I think I see less of that BS on Gold than I've seen yesterday on Plat.

Slick, you actually need to post in the Xbox player base info thread - this one is for everyone on PC.

The game search is set to Platinum by default....

Right, but that's no excuse. The first thing I did when starting the multiplayer was switch to Bronze. How many times is a person going to join Platinum before they understand they need to tone the difficulty down for now?

 

Too bad the lobby leader is unable to kick players single-handedly.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Right, but that's no excuse. 

I am not saying it's an excuse. I'm saying it's inevitable.

Understood and done. Thank you.

PC Origin.
Id - bluethunder666

Playing from the beginning. Was away for almost a year and looking for friends again.
Comfortable in all levels . Just let me know the difficulty settings ( I am really particular about my charcter class with respect to game difficulty and enemy)

I have sent some of you frined requests. Hope to see some of you soon.

[WarChicken78]

Hey there!

 

I'd love to be bombarded with Origin friend requests to be able to play in coordinated groups.

 

My Origin ID is "WarChicken78" just like here on the BSN.

 

I'd prefer guys from Europe, just because it would avoid most of the lag.

I do have a microphone and speak both English and (my mother tongue) German.

I'm mostly online in the evening at about 20:00 MEST, that should be 19:00 GMT in England, Scottland, Ireland, Iceland and Portugal.

 

I'm quite skilled at pugging silver, but I think in a coordinated, communicating group, gold should be manageable.

 

Looking forward to it!

The WarChicken.

I'm gonna add everyone! I'm 0bsess on PC

[therealmilkman]

Do it

 

Also, "The WarChicken" sounds infinitely more awesome in its native German. Actually, it's a great phrase in English too

Not how it works. But your optimism is inspiring

 

Add me if you need someone totally useless to occupy the bottom of the scoreboard.

I have to clear space on my FL so I can have someone named Obsess on there

Hey Obsess, I tried adding you, but could not find you written exactly like you did.

I also tried adding you Marksmad, but you seem to have a full friendlist, and since I have to find a place on your list too, it won't work.

Make sure you use the number '0' - I'm fairly certain it was the number, and not the letter O.

Thanks, that worked.

Worked! Thanks!
