OP's inane drivel has entertained me to levels near pain on PS3, but I mean that in an entirely good way, so any of you mustard lot would do well to mic-up if you find yourself with him.

55 geez, is that even allowed ?

[TheN7Penguin]

I stay away from the LZ on extraction like 99% of the time.

 

The only time I don't is when I want a good defending session.

[Alfonsedode]

Greetings fellow old noob (sorta).

 

We should start up a geriatric club.

As far as your questions go. Pretty much what everyone else said. So I've found. The pinned posts at the top of the forum page house a wealth of info. I learned a lot there.

I want to rather fall in a ring of Fire, to die in Valhalla
As I go down, down, down
And the flames higher and higher

And it burns, burns, burns

I played on PS3 for like a year and I never had any problems while playing collectors.

 

I actually never had any problems at all.

 

 

As an ex-PS3 currently PC player, there really isn't that much difference between how people play. Most people are still just as stupid between platforms.

Honestly I do have some regrets. I miss the environment on the PS3. Yes, I needed to move forward, but I kind of wish I kept my PS3 around just for MP. I mean the graphics (and for some reason audio) are amazing on PC, but using a controller is still a pain. One of the reasons I didn't actually go into MP for a long time is that I can't be as good as I was because the controller works differently. Worse yet, I can't reload-cancel as effectively which means I can't FQI as well, and characters with long melee are uncontrollable - so you can't do short bursts with the GI, for example.

 

I'm starting to think that ME3MP was a one-time thing for me. I'm hoping for Andromeda to be as good, but...

I guess not (early 40s). I just started college, though, so believe me I'm pretty much used to being around people who can't even understand my age.

 

...which explains why they're all doing so poorly in math class.

Aye. Courageously dying PS3'ers gets a coin on their mouths by their pals for Charon (the ferryman) as passage to Hades. Unpaid you have to play 100 years with PC alone without friends or a mic only with space magic dust you cannot take with.

[TheTechnoTurian]

I remember you. You posted a quarian social network forum link once.  

 

Getting to the main topic tho:

 

1.) ya know, I've got 1,500 hours in this game and used to be that one person standing on the other side of the map watching dem pugs all die for palaven/rannoch/thessia/human planet/whatever in the LZ, but these days I figure **** it anyway, why not join 'em, even if I end up going down with the ship. ain't like I need the credits or the xp anymore. And sometimes we manage to actually hold 'em off 

 

... but I don't see PC pugs camp the LZ any more often than PS3 or Xbox pugs. Granted I spent like 90 hours on both of those platforms combined. 

 

2.) Even if a game goes well I very rarely stay for more than one game unless there are hot fat turians in the lobby. I'll stay for fat turians. But really, I only play 1-2 games in a sitting anyway. 

 

3.) Can't speak for everyone else tho, but one thing that happens on PC more than console is that the language you chose to speak may not be preferred language of the others in the lobby, since PC gamers are a very geographically diverse bunch

 

I think teams of players sometimes chat in teamspeak or other similar services rather than rely on the in-game chat, too.

 

4.) I've forgotten what this post is about. turians 

 

5.) welcome back 

 

6.) turians = good 

 

7.) Origin has no recent players list so if you meet someone awesome and want to friend them good luck remembering the random string of numbers at the end of their name.

And I'm very, very sad that I had to take that site down ): It actually just broke and I couldn't track down the bug ):

For one, aside from your other mutilations of the lyrics, the song makes no mention of Valhalla so I don't know where you got that from.  And for two, I've heard that the song could actually be about venereal disease, but worded ambiguously

Then it could still be referencing the PS3.

What controller are you using btw? And what's the issue with reload canceling on pc?

 

 I remember you btw, didn't you make a quarian innuendo thread or something once? Also I think I've seen you online on psn but never got to play sadly. Anyways welcome back!

[Salarian Master Race]

A true masterpiece.

 

Cheer up, I drew one for you too:

 

[SterlingPhoenix]

What controller are you using btw? And what's the issue with reload canceling on pc?

 

Still using a PS3 controller! I tried an xbox controller (bleh) and Steam controller (I soooo wanted that thing to work) but... PS3 controller it is. Bit of a ****** getting that to work wirelessly and tell the computer it's an xbox ctonroller, but hey, it works.

 

There are a few ways to reload-cancel that work both on PC and the PS3. Dodging or going into cover, for example. But the way I used to do it, the way I got down to where it's pretty much muscle memory, is using a power, even during cooldown. So on a PS3, if you're playing your FQI with your Javelin, you shoot, and tac-cloak. Even if it doesn't tac-cloak you, it reload cancels.

 

On PC, that doesn't work.

 

What does work on PC is hitting medigel (this doesn't work on PS3). But to hit medigel, I have to take my finger off the movement stick. So no reload cancel while moving, and it's just not part of my "flow". So I'm much less effective with the FQI, which was pretty much one of my favourite characters to play. 

[Teabaggin Krogan]

You could use the dodge cancel right? I've always used it on ps3 and you only need to pause for a second (on kits with dodge, so you don't dodge instead of the cancel) to do the cancel and you don't need to take your hands off the left stick. At the very least it seems better than a medigel cancel.

 

And btw why not a M & K setup?

[rspanther]

I usually leave after one game so people don't figure out how scrubby I am.

[Urizen]

1 - Generally I see people steer clear of the LZ.  If someone camps it, I will let them know they've got 2 minutes to get there.  Sometimes they take the advice, sometimes they don't, I don't care either way.  It's amusing to watch them try and hold the LZ by themselves for those 2 minutes (though usually it's not nearly that long)

 

2 - I stick around as long as I don't have to solo Waves 3+.  But eventually I do need to take a break, and well if you just dropped in one or two games ago, it might seem like I don't stick around, but you don't know how many games I've played up until that point.  This can be simply a matter of perspective.

 

3 - I try to synergize with the team, unless it's one of those teams where I know just by looking that them that they are too dumb for that to happen, in which case I take one of the Salarians, the BatSol, or Justicar, as my preferred crutch kits.

 

4 - I would talk, but ME3MP hates my Logitech headset.  It works fine in every other game and application, but if I try to talk in ME3MP all you will hear is static.  So I installed the console to be able to text chat at people, but sometimes this does get me into trouble because I have to stand still while doing it.  At this point in the game's cycle, I don't want to spend the money on a brand new headset that may or may not work with it anyway.

 

5 - I hope you have a good memory.  Or you can check the top of this page and find some players on your platform.  You can add me if you like, Origin ID is in my sig.

 

Finally, I don't remember you per se, but I do remember your avatar.

 

1. That´s pretty much my experience too, though there is the occasional LZ camper. I managed to #trigger every pug in a Rio game to camp the LZ. They didn´t realize I was trying to block those spawns.

 

2. I´m guilty of lobbyhopping , unless it was a very good lobby. But those are far and few in between these days.

 

3. I don´t necessarily switch kits, but I will make sure that my ammo doesn´t override combos. Much.

 

4. Logitech Headset (G430) here too and the game hates it. Was the same with my Roccat headset too though.

 

5. Nothing to add to that.

[Silvershroud]

You all remember me (shut up, let me have my delusion). Used to play PS3 a lot. But I moved to PC a while back.

 

I did play on PC but I soloed most the time. I'm still using the PS3 controller, and it's a bit weird. Had to re-learn some skills, and I never felt as effective. So I only started actually Multiplayering recently. U/U/G pretty much all the time.

 

So, I have some questions for you PC players. 

 

Is it like considered uncool to stay away from the LZ on extraction wave? I hardly ever see anyone take this common sense procedure. Everyone - newbies and people with extremely high N7 and CP points, all rush to the LZ and get massacred. Seriously, they're all down within 30 seconds and then I have to sole-survivor my way out of there.

 

I actually don't see that very often on gold.  The only time I ever do that is when I'm with a team who all know better, and we decide to hold the LZ just for fun.

 

Also, why do you guys never stick around? On PS3 you'd get a decent PUG (or a non-decent pug) and they'd stick around for 5+ matches. On PC I've hardly ever had anyone stay in the lobby past one match. This is regardless of how well it went. Or maybe one guy will stay for 2-3, but there's much quicker turnover.

 

I tend to jump lobbies after most matches.  The only times that I don't are when I run into someone I recognize, or the team is particularly fun for one reason or another.  Usually that means either someone amusing on a mic, or a group having fun with a themed match (all Krogan, or something like that).

 

Also, when they do stick around, people tend never to switch characters and seem weirded out that I do. I've been kicked from lobbies because I switched characters and apparently putting on equipment takes too long.

 

I hove no problem with people switching characters, though I usually don't unless I am the only non-turian or something, or to swap to a biotic for an all biotic team.  I find that when I swap between characters a lot, I start hitting buttons to use powers that I don't actually have on the new character.  Once I pick a character, I usually stick with it for most of the night.

 

Also, why no talking? Yeah, on PS3 a lot of the people talking are obnoxious kids but still.

 

I always wonder the same.  Then I look at myself.  I have a mic.  I almost never talk...  Not sure why.

 

And lastly, say you have a really good session. Some guy joins your PUG, actually changes characters so their powers synergise with yours, actually acts like a team and all that. And after the game's done you go "That was fun, I should send them a friend request on Origin. What was that person's name again?" Is there actually no way to find the people you've recently played with???

 

Nope, Origin doesn't have that.  I don't often invite people, but if I want to, I screenshot them so that I remember.

 

Also, it's good to be back (:

 

Welcome back!  The more the merrier!
