So much that.Although i have a high challenge pont score,but it's only because i have thousands and thousands solos.Never bothered to do a specific challenges except for BotB banner. This is why the game is great though - folks like inert and myself like making average guns great again It's all about the challenges you personally prefer/are suited to. I am not a good soloer - I want to be fast and fairly reckless, I want my teammates to revive me when I am in a decent spot for it, I want to be part of a team even if I do all the heavy work. When a player of my experience level (because honestly skill is overrated in this game as much as any) decides that Gold Pugging is my favorite challenge, I have to increase the difficulty somehow. Insert less than optimal gun. I like both-team games and soloing.The feeling is different,but both are fun equally.I don't want to sound like an elitist again,but for me gold doesn't include any difficult even with 1 level character and an avenger or a predator or any other bad weapon.I use a katana and an avenger regilarly on Plat and they work fine.Here is the part with which i can't agree.You need skils to make them work on higher difficults.Skills matter much more in solos and even more with bad pugs.Less in team games with friends.

Well, I do disagree here I have done things in PuG matches with a few solo players, that have made them blink. I know that edge, I have lived on it forever. I was once ridiculed on the old BSN for recognizing early on that something was up with frame rate (playing on my host/soloing was generally harder than off-host(my PC was cutting edge for the release of this game)) and that difficulty was somehow hugely variable off-host. Part of that was something I didn't understand (lag) and part of it was indeed the UE3. I have watched you work in your solos and have blinked, many times... Like, holy shit, that is some balls, that is some composure, that is some experience, that is some aim. I am not saying I know better than you, or that you are wrong. I am saying I think I know different than you, and that here is where we differ as players on tape - you are a better player in general, but we are both occasional miracle workers.

I ran into Blablablabla001 today playing a mean Salarian Infiltrator with a Valiant. Certainly outclassed my GI/M-13 Raptor. GG, whoever you are I'd bet money they are a BSNer.

That's why I never bothered doing the challenges and have a pretty low challenge point score compared to other people who have been playing since the beginning (although challenges weren't part of the game in the beginning). It takes all the fun out for me doing some shit I don't really enjoy doing just to get some challenges completed. I actually pretty much agree with you here. Lots of my friends who helped me with those challenges or happened to bump into me doing them can confirm that they heard me screaming something like, "NO WAY I'm touching this gun again! EVER!" or "As soon as I score those 140k points with this piece of crap, I'm gonna smash it against this very wall and throw it out the airlock!" spiced up with some nasty swearwords. Because holy shit some of those guns are bad. And some of those classes you inevitably have to play to get those challenges done just aren't for me either - but they aren't half as bad because you can always "slap a Carrier on it and call it a day". You do get to know the game better, to find some of your new favorite kit-weapon combos or builds, but sometimes it's just all about struggling very hard on lolsilver trying to make some pea-shooter or a Vorcha Engineer (whose very existence is absurd) work. It's just that some posts here, as well as some of my friends (although I'm pretty sure it was unintentional), happened to motivate me to get that BOtB banner, so I've set my mind on doing all of those challenges at least once. Doing them on a regular basis? Hell no, thanks. The most interesting part of it all, however, is that I'm not going to be using that BOtB as my banner, because I feel that very, very few people actually deserve to use it and live up to it, and I'm definitely not one of them. So I'll just use it a couple of times for some show-off action and then keep my Machinist banner I love.

EVER!" or "As soon as I score those 140k points with this piece of crap, I'm gonna smash it against this very wall and throw it out the airlock!" spiced up with some nasty swearwords. Because holy shit some of those guns are bad. I know that some guns really are bad, especially some of the common ones, but there are (or can be) fun ways to implement these challenges. I can of course only speak for myself, but having a blast with a 4 Shuriken Drell match, or a 4 Predator TSent Plat match? Yes, those things happened and friends can make it so much fun, because everyone "suffers" the same Themed matches, down to the gun and kit are simply Not trying to persuade anyone of course, but personally I think these challenges can be worth it, and some of the bad guns are even good on some kits, hehe. For me it's also a way to try out things I'd never do otherwise, so this is a huge plus as I'm an admirer of the combination amount we have in the game. There's a lot to discover, and even though some setups sound shit on paper (or screen...), it was hilarious doing them in the end and I'm sure there are loads more to come I'm cheering for you, bud! You can do it!

Usually when I enter a PUG lobby and someone is using the BotB banner my first thought is "he'll probably suck". I never had any motivation getting it because I think the Heartbreaker banner is the coolest and I haven't changed it for such a long time now

Insert less than optimal gun. Don't want to get too far into this, but I believe the the following are accurate: Without challenge, the game becomes boring. Without variety, the game becomes boring. What a player considers a challenge will be subjective. Players that don't care for variety and want to have the most effective setups on Gold are one of two camps: 1. Like to steamroll (fine, if everyone's ok with it) 2. Are learning and that's ok. I nerf myself for Gold, which makes it more fun for me. The added variety is also fun - lots of weapons are far more viable than they originally seem and it's a shame people skip over them. Overkill is a thing.

Bumped into Qui-Gon GlenN7 for a couple of games and witnessed some more of his N7 promotion campaign. I guess that can be as entertaining as starting an alt account GGs with some good PUGs and nice going with the Locust against all that Trollector armor. Also had the pleasure of teaming up with xassantex afterwards in some white snow and acid rain with a Claymoar Hsol and Drell on Meth. Once we finally got underway. Kicking players is not my style but when someone starts a lobby and goes AFK it pisses me off. We got a PUG filling the 4th spot in the lobby and kicked off, only to have our host leave and restarting the wave. GGs despite that misdemeanor.

The first Praetorian, I saw him grab you too late, but still rocketed his ass to hell for the audacity. The extraction wave Praetorian... Well, what a special kind of jerk! He magnet grabbed you, which I don't see a lot of happening to another player. I saw your character do a little yabba dabba doo, and immediately the Cobra came out. No Magnet grabbin' crab gonna nab my friend, not today. Good games

Yes, I think that expresses it better than my post. All that said, bring an Eviscerator to Platinum, expect it to take a while (That was asking a little too much from my Lady Turian, although she still obliged) GE and incendiary ammo, easy carry. Katana is even better. Personal reflection on the matter: Too many people just haven't bothered trying to make commons and uncommons work on plat, when some of them definitely do. And I'm not saying brute force things out, but finding actually good builds. Also high level guns < high level consumables

Played +2500 h but according to N7HQ I´ve never used Scimitar, Shuriken or Predator. Almost same with Suppressor, Vindicator, Mattock, Revenant, Argus.

Nothing wrong with it.IMO everybody should play for fun and if these weapons spoil your fun of course you will avoid them.I used many weapons only for themed challenges and BotB banner.
