I survived the Gordian Hour... only instead of using the kits in the challenges, I did them with fat turians instead 



So yeah that's what I did with my thursday night. 

These qualify for the Turian Anarchy HoF.

Will not. There are options (like a local server) which could prolong the life of ME3MP beyond what Bioverpls will let us. Also ME:A is coming so we'll probably have new challenges. So why give it up?

It's FUN! 

Mass Effect Andromeda. There is an expressed hope that the MP will be as fun as ME3's.

. Nice one!

We'll see if it's a new Mass Effect or another big pile of horses**t, made in Bioverpls By EA...

N7 Challenge Series - Insanity

N7 I. The Shepard Clone's War, Part 3 - Spectre Status Recognized

41:56 - LightRobot (353 033pts) [v] (extraction wave)

Upload - Upload - Escort

As with the other challenges from this set, that one was painfully hard to finish and took its toll on my mental welfare. Spent a lot of time grinding objectives and trying to survive somehow. I used GS in all my attempts but after failling about a dozen times I got fed up and tried AC out of desperation. Of course, this is the moment when I got a fair amount of luck gameplay wise and great objectives too but I still feel like AC was really not a good choice. I'd really recommand GS for this challenge, because it is Glacier and also because it really helps to make good use of the acolyte which is only allowed on phantoms. Withouth the GS, you find yourself switching weapons at every turn and switching them again and again without being able to fire even once sometimes. That's what I experienced at least. Now, AC did help me finish some waves fast and easy but I felt that the lack of GS cost me more in the long run. I really suffered through that match and barely made it but now I can feel a little sense of completion.

I noticed by the end of wave 10 that I forgot to start the recording (you should have seen my face in that instant...) so I only got the extraction wave. This might have been a blessing as it turns out that my hardrive was so full that I wasn't likely to be able to record the whole game, having to redo this might have been the end of me, anyway, this complete the N7 - Spectre Eligible set ! Now let's find another challenge (something fun this time)

Weekly Themed Solos 2.0

Week 11 - The Widowmaker Platinum redo

38:53-The_Doctor46N7(311669pts)

Played like a big derp and finished with 1 medigel.The objectives were pizza(pizza!!! i wanted hack or escort and lost 2 gels) targets and guess what...yes pizza again(pizza on London is the worst objective lost 1 gel here too)

For me it's quite the contrary - I'm about to be done with pugging. I pick those Solo challenges that seem to be fun to me.

For example:

Weekly Themed Solos 2 - Hardcore

Week 1 - VI Overlord

22:07 - frank_is_crank (288 518 pts)

Week 5 - I Am Legion

43:30 - frank_is_crank (271 789 pts)

Week 15 - Survive

38:48 - frank_is_crank (247 998 pts)

Week 17 - Weapon Test

34:58 - frank_is_crank (271 366 pts)

You can check it in HoF.

Hamletic's Tales from the Trenches (Hardcore)

Week 2. The Battle for Palaven
II. Batarian Nobility, Didn't Know Such a Thing Existed (Batarian Sentinel with Kishock; Batarian Slasher with BP Punisher)





32:53 - Anubita | Sonashii (3WS)

Devices / Devices / Delivery

Fun and somewhat calm challenge to me. Sadly not so for Anub, as he played level 12 Slasher. But it was his choice to promote all of the classes earlier It would've been done faster but rng wasn't at our side. Also I must say that I had a lot of fun with Kishock. It is very underatted weapon in my opinion.

Week 4. Sur'Kesh
I. Metal Geth Salarian (Snake? Snake!? Snaaaaaaake!) (Salarian Engineer with Venom; GI with Viper)


28:25 - Anubita | Sonashii (5WS)

Targets / Targets / Hack

Again, another very good challenge imo. I love to use SE with Venom. It's a pure joy to play him against the Geth. Sadly it took us 2 tries to do that challenge. On our first run Anub got down on wave 4 and 6 unfortunately. Then we switched to his host and this time we managed to get 5WS, even if I was verging on a health limit. Lucky for me ops packs did work just fine

II. A Million Ways to Die (and the Bloodpack Knows Them All) (Krogan Sentinel with Graal; Vorcha Sentinel with Executioner Pistol)


33:14 - Anubita | Sonashii (3WS)

Devices / Targets / Hack

The most diverse challenge so far, and I loved it! Proobably because I played as a KroSent I was worried about headshot medal but I decided to do an experiment with Targetting VI and I think it paid off. I don't know if it gives only damage bonus to headshot or it allows player to have a slightly worse aim. The hard part of this challenge was that Anub had to deal with a lot of rubberbanding. So that's resulted in our time. But he didn't bleeded out once. And I am glad that we managed to score almost every single possible medal Well apart from one for revives
