Highpoints:  Great games today, including a great Biotic game on Condor with Mordokai, notable for my obligatory Banshee-grab, caused by a moment's hesitation when I found myself confronting the wave 5 spawn.  To nuke or not to nuke? 'To nuke' was the answer, but sadly that moment's hesitation cost me.

 

Later I was playing a Paladin (with a Paladin, dawg) in a duo with a Puggernaut on Dagger, which was so ridiculously easy I didn't realise it was a duo until I took a quick break on wave 9 to reply to stephenw32768, telling him I'd join him soon.

 

When I landed Stephen was a TSent and Mordokai a TSol.  I swapped over to a THavoc, but then changed my mind and went for a Sentinel, just as the 4th arrival (AceRob09) switched over to one as well.  Off to Condor we went, and many, many Reapers died in a hail of bullets.  It was quite glorious at times, even the bit where I 'died' during the sync animation, or when I was watching Stephen ambling his way to a certain death down near the LZ where a crew of Marauders were still a few seconds away from a chain-Overload surprise.  Great fun, although it is with some sadness that I must report the loss in battle of our esteemed Soldier Brother-in-Arms Mordokai, whose inability to move sideways at speed cost him dearly on extraction wave.  He gave his all, no (moonlighting) Turian could ask for more.

 

But the best thing of all?  The credits we earned unlocked a 

 

VENOM X       

 

Now, while all this was happening I was getting messages from q5tyhj suggesting we 'go headbutting stuff', but I was already getting seven shades of real life grief as I was supposed to be cooking.  Or something.  I dunno.  Don't these people know there's a Reaper invasion?!?  So, having seen his comment in another thread, it's fair to say that if I do make it back on later, my Sexbot is gonna be packing some aggro......

 

Lowpoint:  After writing all that it seems inappropriate to attempt to sound sombre, but seriously, Leonard Nimoy, RIP.  My imagination is constructed the way it is because of the influence of Star Trek during my childhood, and my dependence on logic inspired by its greatest character.

 

 

 

[Mordokai]

High: many great games were had, with BSNers, no less! Turian theme game, krogan theme game... you name it! Thanks, you guys, it was great.

 

Low: too drunk to hold myself up properly during last game. Guess my krosol had too much ryncol... yeah, lets go with that. Sorry you guys... it was less than great.

[GruntKitterhand]

The game I've just had - the one Mordokai described as 'less than great' - will live long in my memory, because it was a chance to make amends for the one immediately preceding it, which was described succinctly in a one word message from QMR which read, "unacceptable".  It was just that.

 

We were playing a couple of games on Silver with Stephen, who got wfop around the time he was planning to quit anyway, leaving me as the host.  I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I saw there were two Krogans in the lobby.  I mean, QMR, right?  Seriously, I felt honoured.  So with QMR as a Krolord, Mordokai as a KroSol and myself as a Krentinel, I opened up the lobby and fate gave us another Krentinel.  Mordokai sent me a msg saying 'make it Giant' just as I was about to anyway (Hazard version), Gold by this stage.

 

Everything was going exactly as you would expect, including a couple of grabs for Mordokai (not of the over-cover kind, either), until wave 9, when everybody started dropping, leaving me on my own.  No sweat, I arrogantly think to myself, as I do a bit of kiting, and as I restock my grenades away diagonally opposite the LZ, and run back down the ramp to see what's what, I walk just a fraction too far and wind up in a banshee's arms.  I cannot repeat the words I said, nor describe the colour my face turned.  I could try to tell you it was a hosting issue, as I host so rarely I'm susceptible to the different type of framedrop, but you'd just laugh at me.  I messed up. With my favourite kit.  It was....... unacceptable.

 

So we did it all again and it was rather more acceptable, although we lost the other Krogan and got a Vorcha in his place.  And Mordokai got drunker and kinda gave up.  I now picture him as my namesake in the trilogy, who may fall asleep in a shower or go and hijack a police car in search of pizza when he wakes up, or something like that.  A top night's entertainment, thank you to all who took part.  FOR TUCHANKA!!!!!

[Mordokai]

Grunt, when I said it wasn't great, I meant for me personally. Since I was, you know... asleep for most of it The first game, with four krogan, was pretty much epic, what with all the headbutting we engaged in Next time, I'll be sure to set my armor to pink, so we have a color unity

 

All of them games were good ones. It's always nice to play with you guys, even if I feel like the biggest of scrubs I'm just sorry I kinda screwed you guys over because of my drunkendess.

[Quarian Master Race]

That first one was good up to the point when it was bahd. Cheating brute animation cancelled his charge to grab me mid-backhand. Fortunately, everyone else decided to be a scrub at the same time, or I'd have had to use all 6 nukes on the next wave to regain my honour. 

Next game was better because I camped the ramps like a Prolord.

[Dunmer of Redoran]

Highlight and low point in the same game.

 

Highlight: Carried a silver-quality lobby to extraction in platinum. I had to do Piranha GI which I am not proud of, but it worked!

 

Low point: I didn't actually didn't extract. I had no ops packs left and got hit with splash damage from an atlas missile, which dropped me right outside the LZ.

[stephenw32768]

High: some superb games with Mordokai, QMR and a variety of pugs of varying abilities, culminating in my third banner achievement, Reaper Mastery.

 

Low: so many syncs.  The Banshees just don't seem to get the message that the Kayviem clan do not wish to link suits with them.

 

(Seriously, if there were an option to remove sync kills at the expense of a vastly-reduced credit payout, I'd take it.  The credits are worthless anyway because the bosh'tet RNG store gives me volus instead of quarians).

[Toxichobbit]

High - Actually finally finishing the Talon's 10 extractions after not wanting to do it for ages. Reckoning is the only one I've not done and the rest were all done about 2 years ago, so it'll be really nice to finally "complete" the challenges. Just the Cabal to go.

 

Low - Having a level 20 phoenix vanguard with a massive N7/Challenge rating and the Lone Wolf banner equipped join ... on Bronze. When the rest of the lobby is like level 1-8. Then having said level 20 spend the entire match camped in a corner over-looking a spawn point, ignoring every objective and when people are going down. Finally having said level 20 message me after the match calling me a cheater because there was too much lag and claim I was DDoSing or something.

 

Also, I had a peek at his profile cos the way he played on that difficulty with such a high level kit seemed suspicious for someone with Lone Wolf (he could have been just blowing off steam ofc, but it didn't feel right) and low and behold he was using the Lone Wolf banner but hasn't got the challenge. Is it worth reporting? Will BW even care?

Told ya... I know many asari that would be willing to hug(and more, winkwink) Kayviem without skewering her

 

OT: High: getting into a low level UUG and dominating it with my huntress and her trusty claymore, sans consumables. I think I'm now ready to do the solo with her.

 

Low: there were none, really.

[JRandall0308]

High: watching ark171 use the Venom to blow a Phantom off the map on Jade (Platinum).

Low: myself sucking at reload canceling the Claymore on my Huntress.

But High: the zoomed in ME3 FOV (esp. compared to Dragon Age Inquisition) gave me a nice view of said Asari's assets.

After I got my Best of the Best banner, I meant to go into a Bronze game with my TGI/Harrier loaded up with high level consumables. The plan was to keep going down, wave after wave, while yelling at the other players for not watching my flanks and holding up their part of the mission. Never got around to it.

Don't forget to rocket all the spawns on wave 10 & 11 .

Much better than having the Phantoms blow me off the map...wait a minute

 

 

Low: myself sucking at reload canceling the Claymore on my Huntress.

 

Bullshit. Besides you were popping faces with it, so who cares what happened beforehand?

Sounds like moar ME3 is in order!

 

 

OT: I went back to Jade for my first PUG after you left and this is what happened:

 

 

 

So Highlight:

 

Kicked some ass I guess (also my pic quality is badass), but it took 10 minutes (exactly!) longer than the run we had together. Also, the Maddawg guy was pretty good with the Volus - there was the BAD DEVICE in the center of the map and my Krogan was taking brute smacks/ravager fire while he was sitting on the other side of a nearby wall boosting my shields. We got it done, and it was sweet

 

 

Lowlight:

 

Played by myself (Disciple dc'd the match before), and while it may sound like it was an awesome game it was also rather painful

[DemiserofD]

Highlight: Played my first plat in a while, because I couldn't find any gold games. Was using my Saboteur with my Saber, with a Jugg and a few others.

And good heavens, that Jugg was AMAZING. Tanked everything, barely went down, perfect shield placement, and even scored second to best. Good heavens you were amazing. I did pretty well, too, beat the jug by ~20k points or so. Extraction was pretty smooth. Whole thing just went quite well.

[JRandall0308]

Highlight: we played Turians because they are good. (me, ark, and EternalBreak)

Lowlight: none. Turians kick ass.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Highlight: Couple games with DrChcknwng and Panda5onix and ... someone else. All Volus v Collectors on White, and mostly Engineers v Collectors on Ghost.

Lowlight: I played even worse than usual, which - for some reason - is more embarrassing because of how good they both are, and how persistently they revive me.

Noooo I wanted to stick close to you and wng because I knew it was really laggy especially for off-host Volus! If only you heard the colourful language wng was saying   Don't worry the aim of that match was to survive to wave 11 and me punching Scions in the nuts XD And the second game went considerably well I may say 

[panda5onix]

Highlight: 3 puggernauts in the match. Skilled puggernauts, and we all stuck together. I was a GE and we showed Cerberus why machines are superior to humanity. When you're surrounded by geth turrets and hex shields, the centre hack in London suddenly doesn't seem so bad.

 

Low-point: They only stuck around for 1 match.

 

We still have to play together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Highlight: An all-soldier team of 2 BatSols, a TSol, and a Havoc (me). We got Giant Reapers as always, but what the hell, huh?

 

Low point: You know how everyone says that Banshees can't teleport down the ladder to the ladder room opposite the LZ? Well, I kited a Banshee into the ladder room from the LZ, dropped down the ladder, and...guess who had teleported ahead and was waiting for me at the bottom, ready to apply an ice-cream scoop to my intestines?

[stephenw32768]

High: 1/ presetting Rio/Collectors/Silver to settle a score.  Before I joined BSN, I had a very unpleasant game there as QFI, culminating in my first and so-far only ragequit when I just couldn't stand the misery any more.  Went back there today; Mel'Kayviem kicked the sorry bugs back through the Omega-4 relay.

2/ U/U/S gave me Reactor/Collectors in a shotgun-practice game as AUI/Wraith with a mixed-ability pug team.  Clutched wave 6 (targets) after the rest of the team dropped.  The much-loathed, supposedly-OP AUI is mediocre in my hands because I can't shoot straight with shotties and often fail to hit the Repair Matrix panic button in time.

Low: two syncs in three games, including _another_ Banshee hug for Lin'Kayviem on the extraction wave.

[FairfaxGal]

Highlight:  Getting TGI/Harrier points and Commando Mastery all in the same game. Wow, the Harrier I is great. Looking forward to what it's like at Level X (and, no RNG gods this doesn't mean I should not see the Harrier II card for the next 2 years ).

 

Low: I still don't have a clue how to play the TGI correctly but at least I die a bit less often, although that just seems to allow me to be sync killed more often by whatever's around that can sync. I need to L2dodge better.

[PaunchyCyclops]

Low: Seeing a pug camp in the hydra glitch with an N7 engineer during an objectives round.

I think we need a "Banshee bait" support group for those of us who barely seem able to make it through a game without getting synced at least once.  I know Mordokai will join!

 

Looking at it from the Banshees' point of view: they were Ardat-Yakshi in their former lives, cooped up in those monasteries for centuries.  After all that seclusion, I suppose it's only natural for them to want lots of hugs.
