You tell me all about how you have the Eagle X but no Saber.

 

I show you sympathy. 

 

RNGesus then rewards me with UR's on 3 consecutive play sessions, which pretty good for me. What are they? Oh, how kind of you to ask.

 

Eagle III, IV, and V.

 

 

[AGCeyx]

That's good news! It means RNG can only troll you five more times with the Eagle 

[FluffyCannibal]

Hmm? Moi? No, wasn't me.

*hides all non-Eagle URs behind back*

Yes, you.

 

And while you might not have teh Saber, and I feel bad for that, I don't have teh Lancer, Paladin, Venom, Crusader, CSMG, or BW, so it has to try particularly hard to troll me with 3 straight Eagles.

All this whining about URs, back in my day we used to go into Platinum pugs armed only with a Shuriken with Explosive ammo and think ourselves lucky to have a Shuriken, damned kids today don't know how easy they have it, GOML.

[frank_is_crank]

 back in my day we used to make fire by rubbing two sticks and think ourselves lucky to have actually two of them, damned kids today don't know how easy they have it, GOML.

 

Marksmad pls. Stay on topic.

I got 99 problems and an unmaxed manifest is one. 

 

Prob shut the servers down before I even get all the UR's unlocked, much less all of them to X. 

[ClydeInTheShell]

I remember when I complained about UR upgrades.

Eagle is nice. When starting a new manifest it's one of my favourites when playing power focus kits because even at level 1 it's very light. So it really is the best new manifest weapon out there.

[Asari Goddess]

for some reason i haven't used any UR as much. But i did here that the venom is good to bad i don't have it ^-^

Perhaps so, but I have the Redeemer @ X, so even if the Eagle and AP are equal, it still means I don't need but one of them.

 

In seriousness, you like to play the Eagle on caster classes? I have played it a few times on the TSol, thought it was ok but definitely not overwhelmed by it.

Venom really shines on PC with melee classes, particularly the Krogan, where you can aim and release the charged up shot while running, staggering the enemy as you charge into them with an Omni-Blade Heavy Melee.  This was our gift to them, and all past grievances between our two peoples have been buried and forgotten.

 

As a standalone primary weapon, and particularly on consoles, there are numerous other weapons I would prefer to take instead.  I do, however, like to take a Scorpion Pistol as a sidearm, as it is essentially a pocket Venom.  It deals with Phantoms quite handily.

I would LOVE to get my Eagle up to lvl V.  It's been sitting at a II for over 6 months.

 

Just got my 1st UR in a couple weeks the other night: Crusader IV

The Eagle has one of the best power/weight ratios in the game.  I think its most effective use is as a backup weapon for longer ranges on weapons classes using an inaccurate weapon (like a Raider/Piranha).

 

It does work really well on caster classes though, especially with the weight glitch.  Stability Mod helps, but isn't absolutely necessary.  I like it on the Volus Adept with Incendiary Ammo.

Son, I carry a Harrier as a secondary, for when my Eagle runs out of clips.

This was how I used it when I still played.

RNG profiled me perfectly..the one character I wanted more than any other was the Demolisher... I got her after I unlocked every single other character..including the Reckoning ones.

I'm sure the code is quite complicated for your generation, but back in my day it was easy to figure out and even manipulate.

 

On Gouki's Page of Whatever, for example, when you posted on the forums, you got 3 Gems with your post.  If you got three of the same color, you got bragging rights or whatever.  Well there were certain posters who had 3 of a kind, EVERY TIME they posted.  Turned out, it was a simple timestamp.  Hour/Minute/Second and reduce those to single digit values.  For example, 11:30:22 would become 2:3:4, giving you Orange, Yellow, Green.  Then all you had to do was copy the source code into your own web page, and post to GPoW from your own site, and alter the timestamp code however you liked.  Giving yourself 3 of any particular color became a trivial matter.

 

If you've ever played Phantasy Star Online, there was a similar system.  When you named your character, it assigned numerical values to the letters in the character's name, and reduced those in the same manner as the GPoW forums.  What gave it away was that it also assigned your character a colored badge, right there on their character model.  It didn't take long for people to chart out that different colored badges were more likely to find certain classes of weapon drops as loot.  Once the formula was discovered, it became a simple matter to pick a name for your character that would give you weapon drops for the class of weapon that you were actually using on that character.

 

There's no doubt multiple formulas at play in ME3MP, separate ones for not only GETTING Ultra Rare drops, but also for WHAT you get when you get one.  How many people do you know who have said something like "I didn't start getting Hurricane upgrades until EVERY other weapon was maxxed", or Lancer, or whatever.  Or that they got several UR packs in a row.  Of course, in this day and age, it's impossible to say what the codes entail, because they are so gosh darn complicated now.

 

Computers deal in absolutes.  They cannot do anything they have not been programmed to do.  Tell it to produce a random number, you have to tell it HOW to arrive at that number, meaning there is no truly random result.

"Truly random"? LOL

 

It's just the Flying Spaghetti Monster touching the bits with His Noodly Appendage.

 

If you believe in this "science" so much, why don't you disprove that?
