not cool!

 

We all know Collectors pull every cheap trick against us. Carpetbombing Scions, buttlaz0r wallbanging Praetorians and swarms of bees everywhere.

But here is something new (for me at least).

Everybody who ever soloed against Collecturds knows, that even as a cloaked Infiltrator the ABombs will find you and knock you off the device you are disabling. During one of my solos with HI I decided to freeze an possessed Abomination instead of killing it to get more time for the device. Worked the first time as intended.

But when I tried to freeze the same ABomb again, it didn't work. It got staggered but not frozen nor chilled it seems. Is this a known trick bug?

 

Have some video material to show what I try to express in horrible english.

eeeehhhhh... Ok.  they aren't that bad once you get used to them. You can argue cerberus cheats just as much, if not more. Now, if we were facing the collectors from ME2......mother of god. Their regular troopers had particle rifles..and when they became possessed ..they turned into battlefield generals who also come equipped with true swarms of death...praetorians that would shut themselves down in the middle of a fight to fix themselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devices are annoying against any enemy. You're just a sitting duck for 10 seconds x4. Of course bugs make them even more annoying, like getting knocked away from a device by a Brute, through a wall and not just some thin wall either.

ABombs who are just flaming pieces of  .....  shrugging off chill effects?  Who would've thunk?

 

Reaper husks do the same thing when you're in cloak on a device here's no hiding from the little suckers thou they cant knock a Juggy off a device

 

These are all trolling shenanigans I hate when doing a solo no matter what faction

Step 1: Play as Awakened Collector

Step 2: Announce to your team mates that you refuse to fight against your own people
Step 3: Run around in circles, admiring the scenery

Collectors are a word of 4 letters, starting with s and ending with t, with a h and i in the middle.

Nope, but Sith would be appropriate too, because they are clearly on the dark side.

Yeah... the german translation seems... ugh. No words.

 

Ontopic: Is it possible that there are immunities? You froze it once, and now you can't freeze it again for a certain period of time?

I actually prefer them over cheating ass, stunlock bullshitGeth or cheating ass Cerberus. They are challenging, but I don't mind playing them. The easiest non-Xan or Ark platinum I played with non-BSN buddies was a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember kits or whatever, just that very few revives and very little equipment use for the team. I swear, 2 of the hardest non pug matches I've ever had were Condor Geth Gold and Condor Cerberus Gold. They were harder than any plat I can remember.

Seems to be quite a long time. As you can see I've tried to freeze it several times which took me a while.

The translation and localization of some games (Lets just say I also have some inside info on some of the translations that went to EA) are why I am glad few games are translated into Finnish, and who I am happy that most available games in this country are either the English version, or have English as an option.

I have one PS2 game that is entirely in Finnish, and a various assortment of PS2 and PS3 games with a Finnish option that have a translation level so high, I noped them right back to English.

My youtube videos are muted by default, however, if the German translation is as bad as some of those that I have with Finnish available (Mostly Ubisoft and EA games), then I'd be playing in English (even if my language skills were poor, and especially if my knowledge of English was as good as Frank's) anyway.

 

TL;DR Game companies need to hire better translators. If they need the names of some, I know at least one who is quite good, and experienced. ;)

The easiest faction to solo platinum against.

I have to disagree with you on this.
IMO they are the most straight forward faction to solo against, but not the easiest.
The reason I feel this way is their ability to end you solo attempt faster then any of the other factions if you make a mistake. Going down against collectors can easily cost you twice the consumables of any other factions.
But my opinion of this is based on the fact that I try to solo as fast as I can, or very very close to it when I solo. Means cutting it close and, and doing alot of cqc. If time is no concern, then yes. They are quite okay, cos they are so straight forward in how they act. Still very costly to make a mistake tho.
But each to his own preference I guess. :)

This is how advanced Reaper tech is. Each husk adapts to whatever hurt it and becomes immune to it. Literally "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

No matter what you do, it will only work once and then never again.

Not unlike fighting the Borg. ;)

 

Or maybe the game is still a buggy mess and this is simply yet another broken part of it.

They aren't so bad actually.. They're more aggressive than the other factions but still predictable as any. Ya just gotta be a bit more aware especially with crabs. They'll sneak up on you without you hearing them

They're boring. They have too many slow moving or near stationary units, predictable attacks, and inflated HP values. But they're also not challenging in any meaningful way, just obnoxious, so I don't waste my time either soloing against them or staying in pugs that end up being collectors.

 

I was initially excited to have a new faction added to MP back when they were introduced, and it took one game against them to realize I would have rather Bioware spent the time and effort fixing bugs with existing factions or finishing new maps instead.
