I'll think about it.. Maybe maybe not... Not a lot of friends and I'm not big on solos, I'm always out of cryo 2 and 3, and I'd have to use the havoc.

 

You're out of Cryo Ammo too... what year is it?

High: All Volus squad with ClydeInTheShell, FluffyCannibal, and Shane McLauglin. Cerb on Rio. Cerb got rekt.

Low: Masses of screenshake caused by liberal application of Scorpion. No, wait, that's a high as well

High: started a Gold "solo" (Friends Only) as the Asari Vanguard vs. Cerberus on White. Was joined by RustyBuckets02 and we managed a nearly simultaneous over-cover grab of a pair of Nemesiseseses.

 

Low: we died on Wave 10, but it was after the objective at least.

 

= = =

 

Opened lobby to PUGs.

 

RustyBuckets02 as vanilla Human Adept (Singularity, Warp)

me as Ex-Cerberus Adept (Singularity, Smash)

PUG#1 as Drell Adept (Reave, Cluster Grenades)

 

Gold vs. Collectors on Giant

 

High:

Wave 8, we catch the spawn at the bottom of the stairs (straight ahead from the LZ) and proceed to wreck it in about five seconds. Because almost every power both primed and detonated, we chained together so many biotic explosions it was crazy.

 

Low:

Unable to catch another spawn like that.

 

= = =

 

Next game.

 

RustyBuckets02 as N7 Fury

me as Drell Vanguard

PUG#1 as some other biotic, I forget

 

Gold vs. Cerberus on Reactor

 

High: 5 Waves Survived.

 

Low: I proceeded to die on Wave 6 about 3 seconds into the wave. *sigh*

 

High: around Wave 8 or 9, we catch some Atlases, Phantoms, and whatnot on the stairs at the back of the reactor. Rusty is doing the N7 Fury thing where you charge the Atlas to get it into Annihilation Field range, explode it with Throw, then dodge back, then repeat. I'm using Biotic Charge followed by Cluster Grenades. PUG#1 is doing whatever he was doing; maybe Warp?

 

Anyway there are so many biotic explosions and so much screenshake (I was also using the Venom, as one does on Drellguard) that the sound glitched out and I got some stuttering of the framerate. God I love doing that. I actually laughed out loud in joy.

 

Low: unable to cook anyone due to lack of Hazard version of Reactor.

High: Returned to PC after a couple weeks away. Within half a minute, JohnBorrows was onto me to create a lobby. He brought Taffel80 as well, and we three Asari were joined by a Fury. There were numerous 'splosions and much bottom jiggling.

 

Low: Objectively speaking, I should have stayed retired. There isn't any platform where I'm ever going to be able to contribute anything significant to the game.

It's always depressing to play with JohnBorrows I suspect he might not be a real person at all, but an AI optimized for ME3 MP, a cousin of EDI I'd think.

Highlight: This highlight is written IN BLOOD, mwahahahhahaaha!!!!

 

...read the bottom right for the last entry in the killfeed.

 

 

I've never seen so much blood from one enemy. As you see, it even spattered the camera.

High - Finally completed a platinum solo

 

Low - It took 94 minutes and I missed some fun sounding games with Brannigan, Drake and Schuey while I did it.

[JRandall0308]

10 Waves Survived

for the second time in as many weeks

 

Spoiler

 

Gold, Reactor, vs. Reapers

 

Packages (?), Hack, Targets

 

DrakeValencez as the Geth Trooper Soldier

JRandall0308 as the Krogan Sentinel

Brannigans 1ove as the Turian Sentinel

Hoya Destroyer as the Krogan Soldier

 

Lots of delicious fire-based cheese, lots of ways to get explosions.

 

We realized after the game that we should have nuked another spawn to get three Killstreaks, so the entire bottom row of the score screen would've been Gold Medals. Oh well!

 

Wave 6 Hack was on the platform near the LZ. Enemies kept spawning at the LZ so we kept grinding them down. A couple of Cannibals came up from the reactor and started chucking grenades until we we forced to deal with them. At one point someone almost got picked up by a Banshee, but this group put out so much damage so fast that she was forced to drop her victim, followed shortly by her own demise.

 

Wave 10 involved many missiles as you might expect (since by this time we knew we were going for 10 Waves Survived).

 

Overall this was a smooth run. Reactor/Reapers seems to be a favorable matchup. As long as you don't get cornered by Banshees or Brutes!

[Biotic Babe]

Highlight: Back to playing me3mp after getting sucked into DA:O and DA:2. 

 

Low point: Dropped into a GiP Giant/Reapers/Platinum, went to check that room straight across from the LZ and ran face to face with a phantom. In an attempt to do a cool robot back flip away from her, I accidentally front flipped straight into a sync kill. Good way to start the match.

 

Highlight: I ended up being topscorer in a different platinum game a little bit after that which has... literally never happened.

 

Low point: I was top scorer, and I usually drag behind people who can handle platinums so it ended up being a cluster f*** of a game.

Highlight:

I recently tried out using the duration evolution on tactical cloak for my GI. I thought my DPS would drop drastically but to my surprise I was still doing a lot of damage.

 

It's actually quite fun because I can sneak around enemy spawns and kill off the mooks hiding behind the bosses, and makes a lot of the revive trips easy to do, and makes those BS hack devices in the middle of the map so much easier. 

 

I still top the scoreboard consistently with a duration spec'd cloak on the GI. At least now I have an excuse if I get outscored is because I was using a duration cloak and not the 80% tactical damage boost cloak. 

 

Overall I approve the duration evolution on TC it's not as bad as I thought it would be. 

[JRandall0308]

High: several fun games with Bailey, Brannigan, and Drake. Including sub-20 minutes on Geth Glacier Hazard and Condor Collectors!

 

Low: then they all left and I was forced to slum it with a non-member of the 10 Waves Survived club, Mr. RustyBuckets.

 

just kidding Rusty.. you know I love you like a brother

 

High: back to Glacier Hazard, vs. Reaper. Rusty as the Ex-Cerberus Adept and me as the Ex-Cerberus Vanguard. Wave 10, Hack up the stairs from the LZ. It's pretty chaotic as expected, and when the Hack ends there is a Brute wandering around plus the swarm is there. I need to GTFO so I Biotic Charge the Brute, then notice I'm in the middle of the angry swarm so I run down the stairs to the LZ.

 

At this point, Hackett tells me only one enemy remains, and I look around but can't see him. Then I notice the indicator is... below me?!

 

Rusty gets on the mike to tell me that my Biotic Charge knocked the Brute off the map.

 

With Geth Scanner, we can see the Brute wandering around below the LZ.

 

Eventually we kill it with the wallhax of Smash.

 

Crazy!

Played a U/U/P which turned out to be platinum/collectors/fire-base white.

 

High-points:

Survived a platinum mostly because of ClydeInTheShell.

 

 

 

Low points:

Found out why BSN refers to the praetorian "eye" lasers as "butt-lazers"

 

 

Clydes reaction to my scrubbyness:

Low points/rant: joining pugs where everyone is bleeding out or needs to be revived. Also, pugs in which I'm the highest scoring (gold). If I'm beastmoding the entire time, everyone else really sucks ass.

I don't think I can pug gold anymore. I'm trying to relax, not get rage mastery challenge points

Some days one needs to adjust to the mindset that when you spawn in, you will be the only one left alive

 

As to pugging, it seems to me there are a few necessary viewpoints to enjoying it. First, see above. Second, if it's not fun, just quit. Third, go in with your warrior face on and it'll be fun for longer. Fourth, it doesn't matter if the game is a wipe, as long as you had some fun. For me, that means enjoying the fight as much as possible but not being upset when things really can't be fixed. The story below is both on topic and relevant.

 

High: My QMI pUUGed into GiP, London Collectors. Scion in front of me. Cloak, Tac Scan, empty clip, Scion dead, end of wave 5. Wave 6, hack at bottom of stairs, everything crawling over us, we run around reviving each other and tactically withdrawing now and then. The Colldept gave his life to finish the last few seconds of the hack. Wave 7 and and 8 were tough, I spent my time Arcnading A-Bombs and Captains and sniping the big stuff off the rest of the team. Wave 9, everyone else dies and gets stomped inside the first minute. A voice comes over the audio saying "You might as well quit, no way you can do this on your own." I don't answer - the QMI is the strong silent type after all - I just slide around the map from corner to corner, killing stuff as I go. Double Praetorians did get a nuke, I admit. As the last Scion drops, over the mic comes the word: "Nice!"

 

Low: Wave 10, center hack, the other three run straight into the middle, in half a minute I'm the last one alive, with the hack needing 90% still to go. I find the nearest Praetorian and say "Eat me."

 

Moral: The high part is because the battle was fun and challenging. The low is because it's no fun doing that hack vs Collectors, you can't kite them, the Captains just camp the hack anyway. So I got out when it stopped being fun, or even potentially fun.

 

Finally: Periods of pugging are fun, but they are most fun if you don't give a damn about the outcome. And even then, you need to mix in some sessions with friends who are fun to play with and remind you why the game is a laugh.

 

PS: Apologies to all the grandmothers whom I've tried to teach to suck eggs.

[HamleticTortoise]

^ very valuable advice. Knowing when to quit, both in-game and in the lobby, goes a long way in keeping pugging fresh. Sometimes lost causes are fun to tackle, but if it starts being busywork, it's not worth it!

 

High: fun game with low-ish N7s with mediocre equipment, where everyone tried to give its best. It was interesting to see lightbulbs go off "hey, if we stick together, we can revive each other, and not waste gel!" (wave 7), "oh, missiles are not only for killstreaks, you can use them in a pinch to clear the area before going in for a revive!" (wave 8), "once we are overrun, maybe we can try to relocate all together to a new place!" (wave 9)

 

Low: everybody stayed, went for a second game, and of course it ended up being condor / cerberus ... failed the wave 10 hack with only seconds to go to completion, and the lobby disbanded... sorry guys, if you had actually stepped into the circle, it would have gone faster and we might have done it.

 

Lowest of the low: opened an arsenal pack, double Explosive ammo 3, double Cryo ammo 4

I duo'd with the pug host in a public lobby that no one ever joined and I carried pug who was a GE using the geth plasma smg and the vindicator.

Not fun but managed to pull it off luckily.
