Highlight:  Smoothest Platinum PUG game I've ever had.  And it was against Collectors, no less.  I guess having a TGI, GI, and AIU in the same lobby helped.

 

Lowlight:  Playing with a guy who brought Armored Compartments in a Gold Game and started missiling spawns on Wave 1 (Cerberus).  Crap, at least save your missiles until the Phantoms start showing up.  Taking out a couple of Nemesiseseses and Guardians aren't going to help our clear time much.  And he made sure to missile spawns across the map when we were doing hack/device objectives too.

That guy is my hero.

[Quarian Master Race]

I missile on wave 1 gold against both geth and Cerberus. It's the only way to teach those Centurions that their cheap smoke bombs will not save them.

[JRandall0308]

I use Thermal Scope on every weapon just for those pesky Centurions.

Thats why I love the Raider, even if you can't see, if there is something on the other side of the smoke, you'll hit it.

Highlight: Pugging into a trio with a good Paladin and a weak Valkyrie (one biotic boom the entire game!) and struggling on Goddess vs Reapers, but extracting as Lone Survivor with zero missiles, ops packs, or gels.

 

Lowlights: The previous SEVEN pUUG games were all Cerberus. Fecking Dragoons.

[JGDD]

[...] a weak Valkyrie (one biotic boom the entire game!)

 

I get that a lot off-host. Usually if I want to stick with the group I'll switch to something that doesn't suffer the wrath of lag. Lack of detonations is almost always a sure sign you're dealing with that.

 

Or I suck. It's 50/50 some days.

Wrong thread - That's a confession. Imo, I dont think you'll ever be forgiven.

[J. Peterman]

Managed to blow up a PUG with an a-bomb the last time I played.

Dammit!

 

With so many of these threads it's hard to keep track of whether I'm giving highlights/lowlights, confessing, just talking about a random PUG, retiring, giving advice about warp ammo, making fun of someone's mom, asking about preferred fat turians, or inventing minigames.

 

I tell you, I need a flowchart to keep track of everything.

Flowcharts would not be enough - a group of Asari Justicars inquiring your case might do. Beware the red-skinned ones - they're demons!

Asari Justicars can 'inquire into my case' any time, IYKWIMAITYD.

In this case it was a Valkyrie with low N7, a GPR I, who mostly had AF off and even with it on was tossing Warp from about 50m away, so I read it as a L2P problem. (Especially apposite since b00g13 posted above but missed his opportunity to say it.)

Highlight: Getting an invite from Aetika to play ME3.

Lowlight: Having to leave right then.

 

Highlight: Getting an invite from the elusive Conduit0 to play.

Lowlight: we have the joining bug and no friends in common that were on

 

Bonus Lowlight: In a pug, searching all over White for the Assault Troopers that I could hear were hiding somewhere behind me. Then finally discovering I had my headset on the wrong way round....

[emexia]

Highlight: Finally unlocked the Javelin.

 

Lowlight: Got to the end of wave 9 on a gold solo when.. "You have lost your connection to the ME3 server". 

[stephenw32768]

High - continuing to play ME3MP with great people from my FL

 

This.  Forget grinding, forget coveting UR weapons that refuse to unlock, forget catastrophic pugs.  It's all about playing with friends and having masses of fun sending the baddies packing :-)  Had some good games with Quarian Master Race and Mordokai this evening.

 

And also...

 

Low: risking QFI/Widow in a Gold game and making a fool of myself as I failed to hit anything.

 

High: switching to QFI/Valiant for two more Gold games and rediscovering why I loved the combination back in Bronze.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Lows: Not being able to join BioticPulse's lobby AGAIN. Getting locked in the reactor twice, by Bailey and Schuey respectively.

 

Highs: Locking Bailey and Brannigan in the reactor. Escaping Brannigan's sneaky attempt to lock us in the reactor

Now that is truly derptastic!

[GruntKitterhand]

Lowlights:  Mostly connection related, both personal and EA, meaning I spent most of the week playing other games.  "Reported" - yeah, I know.

 

Highlights:  QMR quit a Cerberus match around the end of wave 6, simply to replenish the missiles spent on Nemeses.  I had simply thought it was a genuine rage-quit, after I thought I'd witnessed the missiling of a corpse, but then shortly afterwards the killfeed announced the Quarian's Masterful Return - [Missile Launcher] Nemesis.  I nearly choked.

 

Also, fun quadruple QFI squad against Collectors on Ghost.  I hate Seeker Swarms, especially when only equipped with a Widow, but four jiggly bumbums can never be a bad thing.

 

The undisputed highlight from that session of games was SterlingPhoenix's review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, complete with genuinely good impressions of the two main leads:

 

John Wayne:  Y o u ' r e   g u n n a   h a v e  t o   k i l l   L i b e r t y   V a l a n c e

James Stewart:  But I'm a lawyer, I don't wanna kill anyone

John Wayne:  W e l l ,  y o u ' r e   g u n n a   h a v e   t o

Actually, what set this off was a lone Phantom. I made the mistake of trying to use the Kishock off host, and it had been frustrating me all game. I fired a full charge shot that did no damage, and then the b!tch pew-pewed me down, and as she walked onscreen I saw a goddamn molten spike sticking through her skull.

That set off the red mist. I got up, and used all 6 missiles on her and initiated the hilarity you saw. The nemesis just happened to be the first victim of my rampage. In fact, I intitally intended to keep doing it until the end of the game because Sterling has previously spammed me with invite messages as a joke about my "retirement", and the lobby was set private.

QFI sniper squad was wonderful. Poor bugs never got close

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Lowlights: Three successive pUUG searches landed me GiPs on Giant. Every time, the host quit on wave 3 or 4. The third time, versus Cerb, I was the only one to stay for host migration, and had to solo the wave 3 hack. Some others joined and we got through wave 6 devices before all being more or less simul-synced.

 

Highlight: One set of equipment lasted me for four successive games

[stephenw32768]

High: some _superb_ games with QMR, Mordokai and Clips7.  I'm getting more of a feel for Gold Reapers now.  The latter waves can get a bit much, but I can contribute well enough when I'm part of a strong team.

Low: 1/ the lolmemleak rearing its ugly head during Ghost/Reapers/Gold.  Framerate started dropping around wave 7 or so; by extraction, it was measurable in seconds per frame.  We did manage to make it out though!

2/ missing the same Atlas _twice_ with missiles.  What an idiot :-D

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

...missing the same Atlas _twice_ with missiles. 

 

Reported.

[stephenw32768]

Reported.

 

Reported by marksmad... yeah, I really am one of the guys now :-)

 

Another high point: clutched Giant/Reapers/Silver just now when the rest of the team dropped on wave 10 (devices). I was playing QFI with Mantis; what should've been a simple-ish game for sniping practice turned out to be Adrenaline City, Arizona.  Hands are still shaking.  But I did it, and we extracted, and I love Mel'Kayviem forever.  Best QFI game _ever_.
