The Adas is - and I'm being serious here, which doesn't happen often, so note the event in your diary - totally awesome. It staggers on the first hit, applies ammo rapidly, and fires for a long time between reloads.

 

You need the extended mag, damage barrel (#4) and Cryo ammo on a character with incinerate (QME is perfect), or on the Jugg. The Adas challenge gets done in two games, maybe three for the 200k one in Machine Mastery maybe.

 

Projectile weapons work badly in my off-host experience, and while I agree with the usefulness of the stagger and ammo applying effect, the sound is plain annoying. Tbh, if I could mod it to make its sound disappear, I may even consider using it. 

 

With the TGI I got the challenge in two gold matches, I think. Same setup, except I used incendiary or disruptor ammo, I don't remember.

I just needed to mention this to somebody and this seems like just the right place....


I like the GI just fine and all...but the last 3 times I've played the Talon-GI it has been a religious experience.

I mean, HOLY JUMPIN SALARIANJESUS ON A POGO STICK, what a ride!


Does anybody know what I'm talkin' 'bout here?

Anyone pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?

Can I get an AMEN, brothers and sisters?

My crutch setup early on in my ME3 career. I was very lucky to have maxed out my Talon pretty early and I gained countless credits with this setup.

[Sinful Force]

I much prefer the Talon scoped on a Turian with extra stability help on top (you wan't to eliminate most if not all recoils) for one of the best melon SRs in the game.

...so, that's a high then?

 

The Talon GI is certainly as unholy a kit as ever existed.

[Sinful Force]

Low - played as the most un-classy kit I can think off. QME Grenade Capacity V on Goddess.

 

Low - back in the lobby, everyone split one at a time. Made me feel like I needed a shower.

Can be a good thing. Especially if you suffered a half dozen games of lag and need a way to vent.

 

I egged on one of my pals into trying it with drill ammo a few weeks ago. Think BurningBlood just happened to stumble into that murderfest and was kind enough to kill the random swarmers we missed.

 

Nothing comes close to a pair of overclocked killer toasters with Talons.

[Sinful Force]

Someone pointed out something weird about the Talon GI. Haven't 100% confirmed it, but sure felt like it on X-Box console where I briefly tested it. The curser aiming speed, even out of scope, seems noticeable slower. But again, haven't confirmed it. As I don't much play with the Talon. But maybe I'll try it next game on Geth and a non Geth kit.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Wait a minute...

I swear I saw some breakdown previously where it was estimated it would take 70M (or 80M?) credits to max your URs.

 

But at 7.5% drop rate, you could expect 3 UR drops for every 40 UR slots purchased.  It takes ~2M credits to buy 40 UR slots.  There are 21 UR weapons with 210 available upgrade slots.

 

Ipso facto, it should take ~140M credits to max the URs.  So my total of 125M credits spent is actually...pretty decent?  Maybe I'm missing something here.

My calculations and experience agree with yours, so I believe that you have it right.

Oh, I didn't mean that I don't enjoy it. I only meant that even I can get half-decent scores with that setup

Highlight: Today it is one full year since this thread started, and it now has 107 pages of awesome, interesting, educational, and funny posts. A huge, fantastic, and sincere, thanks to all of you who have contributed since its inception. You're all awesome

 

It would be great if you would help to celebrate the thread's first birthday by recalling and sharing some of your favorite highlights of the past year. I'm looking forward to reading them

[NeonSpectres]

Low: the AA battery my wireless mouse dying on me while defending a hack with an oncoming Geth Prime

 

High: legging it past my confused missus, taking the nearest clock off the wall in my house, whipping the battery out and restoring life to the mouse while not dying in game

 

Win.

[Catastrophy]

High: 25k points with the Shuriken! Yay! Progress! Also: Nearing completition with the shotgun I forgot the name of.

 

Low: Made me experience score annoyance again. Hey, ****** Krogan with the Crusader - play Gold already, so I can collect some points.

[JRandall0308]

Today

 

High: I lured RustyBuckets02   out of hiding and into a game with Brannigans 1ove and ctc91. Appropriately enough we ended up on Reactor Hazard where my Salarian Engineer got cooked twice. (Highlight within the Highlight: I actually survived both times due to Ops Pack use.)

 

Low: what Low?

 

= = =

 

Past Year

 

Low:

• Over 1,300 hours of my life wasted judiciously applied to this game.
• Also, I still can't reload cancel.
• Several hundred hours truly wasted on Dragon Age Inquisition. 

 

High:

• All the people I've met and played with.
• Sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night to get in a few more games.
• So many games on Platinum Giant vs. Reapers, grinding for credits. (Yeah, that's a High, I don't even hate it any more in retrospect.)
• Grinding out the promotions to get the Best of the Best banner and never needing to promote again.
• Without chasing challenge points, being #722 in the world in CP score on XBOX 360. I can pretty much guarantee this is the only thing in my life I will ever be #722 in the world at. (And I know, most people posting here are way higher, but hey, cut me slack, OK?)
• Discovering the Randomizer!
• Discovering that I'm good enough at the game to take crazy Randomized characters / weapons into Gold and Platinum and still do well.
• So much laughter while playing.

[Saikyo_McRyu]

High - With extensive assistance from Emexxia and N7_One, completed Firebase Ghost: Gold Waves and am at 95% for Map Mustardry

High - after another curbstomping of Geth by HamleticTortoise, Emexxia, & co., finished last by a few miles but unlocked the Claymoar IV and Raider IV.

Low - Frickin' no-good durned Pyros using Villian Teleportation.

[SwoopIM]

Doing a gold solo on Ghost

 

Low - Got slammed by 2 geth primes and dropped with 1 sec (yes, 1 sec) prior to extraction.  Could not gel fast enough to extract.

 

High - Got a mission successful.  Big woop!

 

This game can be a cruel, cruel mistress

First off, it's not surprising (to me) that this thread gets so much activity.  Of the "recall your recent experience" threads we have, this is the most versatile...and open-ended.

 

But as to your request...

MY favorite highlight goes back to a lobby where Jugger, AJScott, and I were waiting on Nat's arrival.  We readied up, but neither AJ nor I noticed that Jugger quick downgraded the match to Bronze.  We had many a giggle about that match (Reactor vs bugs), but then decided we should ditch and connect with Nat in a real lobby.

 

Until I decided against that idea.  My AVS was sprinting around FB Reactor reviving those guys...and killing the nearby Bronze mooks, making it more difficult for them to get downed again.  I was bustin' a gut trolling my team-mates by REVIVING them.  There was a lot of, "Gawdammit, Bud!  Let me F-ing DIE!  LOL"

 

Edit:  When I gave up, I let my AVS go out in style:  my first Scion sync kill death.

Low: Trying to find a suitable non-turian/Geth Raider build was met with mixed success

 

High: Made a new PUG friend - plays and speaks like a BSNer - so I think they've lurked a few times. Managed to HE-Venom well enough against the Collectors in the last match. I find the venom to be sorely lacking in armored-boss killing capability.

Try the Raider on the Batarian soldier. He's a CQC kit anyway so it's strength synergizes extremely well with him. It's weakness is mid/long range accuracy but it's nothing Inferno grenades won't fix

[Sinful Force]

Low - Hazard White. Krogaurd Rage mode in the snow. Me forgetting Barrier until wave 11. Cerberus. The end.

 

Low - Goddess. Collectors. PS3 forgetting many frames. The end.

Well, I've been here a year, give or take, so here goes...

1. joining this forum and learning to play at a level above Bronze
2. gaining experience at playing my favourite character.  Still a bit iffy versus Gold Cerberus, but they're difficult with most characters
3. currying a few Gold waves (only a few, mind; and if you're ever in a game with me, please don't expect great things if I'm the last man standing in a Gold wave)
4. learning to play things that I didn't expect to enjoy (e.g. vanguards, shotguns)
5. playing enough games that my controller is showing visible signs of wear and the left analogue stick jams sometimes

[stephenw32768]

Low - Goddess. Collectors. PS3 forgetting many frames. The end.

 

I feel your pain, I was in a Reapers game on Goddess yesterday.  It was a really fun Claymore game, but the last few waves were very frame-droppy, culminating in a hard freeze in wave 11

 

The previous game was White Hazard and was also a bit frame-droppy, so I should've taken the hint and rebooted after that one.

[Sinful Force]

^ No way I wanted that freeze in my game. Why I nuked all double wave 8 Praetorians, killed all bees, and made sure my Decoy on SE never came out (especially since we had a Saboteur always tossing his pet out already). So I'd like to think all that helped. ... Also, not looking at a Praetorian with the rest of the team, would go elsewhere instead (I'm pretty sure this lessens the load on the PS3. At least for me. But would like confirmation).

 

I of course always reset my PS3 after just one match of Collectors too even if I plan on still playing, just to be safe.

 

 

But the weirdest is going from 60fps to 30 and lower. That's when you really notice it. Sadly, Goddess suffer from frame rate issues on X-Box too. One of my top 3 fave maps and it only works properly on PC. Yet everyone still complains about Condor. Go figure.

[Catastrophy]

Victory! Shuriken, Scimitar, Mantis have been completed. All your weapon are belong to us!

 

Low: Spotted another reegar killstealer trying to ruin my Scimitar challenge. Yea, try harder catching up with a pumped up sexbot!
