Recent Game Highlights and/or Low Points

I had a fun game with docsteely... first gold duo

Um

I died lots like loootttsss... maybe the Fury wasnt the best choice... luckily doc was there with a Juggernaut to save the day

We survived but I had nothing left but ammo packs by the end of the game gold is too hard for me I think haha

Noooooooooooo i shouldnt be playing gold its too hard for me just yet... maybe when I have some better weapons so I can actually use things like soldiers and things other than adepts and some engineers...
The thing is... on gold I feel like i could cope with like a thousand cannibals... but its the later waves when theres just Brutes and Banshees and like big things... thats when I start to struggle and dont do so well and always die... I guess its partly because im not as effective against them and partly because I panic
On a duo especially like... no matter where I run there are always enemies... like BIG enemies... so I dont have any kind of breaks from the fighting if that makes sense???
Silver duos sound fun that would be really helpful

Yes the objectives were the problem in my bronze solo and also in that game... the circle ones are fine and also the drones and the object retrieval... its the device ones that are difficult... like in that game... there was one so I did it just in time to get away from the enemies who were there... I barely survived... then I climbed up a ladder to get to the next device and came face to face with 3 marauders and a brute stood right next to the device... so I missiled them because otherwise time would run out by the time I killed them... then I completed the device... next one... 2 Banshees coming after me... theres just no kind of breaks from enemies there are just too many haha

With BSNers I can do gold... but not with random people thats the only time I can do gold haha

Gold with Randoms vs Gold soloing is a tough one.

I prefer with randoms, but you need to be able to understand the randoms' style of play. If they prefer to camp, it's easy as you can cross off one or two spawns off a list and change positioning to compensate. If they move around too, you'll have to periodically check where they are.

A random duo is tough, but if you can get the PUG to stick with you, then you can work like a solo, kiting the enemies into a general pattern.

Low: Joined up with some PUGs that preferred to camp as a team
High: Duo'd wave 8 with lowest scorer/least played (TSol + Scimitar), they picked up on the mobility pretty quickly and supported my FQE really quite well. Team rallied back from there.

You shouldn't be focusing on big bosses like Banshee's, but small fries instead;

To be fair, a certain Princess came hatesurfing in, swinging their biotic hammer, thus stealing your kills many, MANY times. I think my KroLord had more travel time than your KroGuard with all the hatesurfs

We'll have to do it again once we can get a hold of Grunt again.

Low: my worst Cabal-game ever, geth/gold/white. No idea how many times I died, but guys got revive medals. Never cabaling geth again. Cursed like a drunken deranged sailor. Hrumff!

High: previous kroganing by me as the same trio, reap/gold/reactor hazmat, that inspired us all to switch and have a fully enjoyable trio Krofest!

Higher: Payback and lots of gggrraawwwring and meleing eeeverything out for my angry lil sailor frustration.
Highest: the trio triple-kroganing G/G/G. GGs, Guys. Who needs pesky pugs when you can trio to victory

High: after nearly 2,000 games, I finally let Mordokai talk me into trying Platinum. He, GruntKitterhand and MaxCrushmore had my back. Played Arc Pistol AA and did actually manage to kill some things

It was less horrifying than I thought it might be, perhaps because I've watched so many Platinum videos that I had an idea of what to expect.

The RNG pixies clearly approved of my decision to dip my toe into the highest difficulty level because I was rewarded with my first level X ultra-rare, the Crusader.

TIL that playing a Shadow on Hazard Glacier against Reapers is the second worst thing in this game other than any map vs Geth. I swear half my Shadow Strikes took me into that sodding seeker swarm even when it seemed nowhere near my target. In fact I think the seeker swarm was Shadow Striking *me*.

High: Rocking the Human Vanguard on Gold White against the Reapers. Always fun, high paced action!

Low: Getting wrecked playing the Cabal on Gold London against Collectors. I definitely need waay more practice with that kit - I really embarrassed myself in front of MeetYourNanny

It was entirely your fault. I nearly died!

High: I trapped MFK in the corner for a giggle @32:40

Then...oh boy, did this get messy...

Major High: After moving to a party to spare randoms from our obscene banter and risking prison, during one game, two little piggies didn't want to do the objective. So first, we danced. Then, some t-bags may have been dropped. I don't know. I think I blacked out with joy. It was one of the best times of my life. Dark, disgusting bags...extra wet.. just.. decimated this guy for not doing the objective. Glorious. @1:55:15 is when the objective started.

The in party chatter went something like this...

MFK - "Speed march engaged. Let's go!"
Biggs - "Let's do it. Just try not to trip on my dick"
MFK - Let's punch it, it will go quicker"
Biggs - "Agreed"

Biggs - "Wait, where the fuck are the other guys? Oh, look. They don't want to do the objective! How nice. Let's go over here and see if they recognize what's happening"
MFK - "Let's disco dance in the mean time. Where's my handbag?"
Biggs "Look, they are still over there just killing stuff. Fucking cunts."
MFK -"Let's just t-bag them when the opportunity presents itself"
Biggs - "Agreed"

Biggs - "They're down, let's go!"
MFK- "M'kay"

It was around this time that I lost track of the shared laughter. I remember MFK saying, "Let me have a go!", but by that point, it had been nearly a full minute in my mind. It was so satisfying. My balls needed oiling afterward. Then things went dark.

All in all a wonderful few games, even though for the majority I might as well have been using the controller with my toes.

Pretty soon we'll be having you playing drellguard like a pro. Or at least as good as I do

Good games, the lot of them. Don't sell yourself short, while Arc AA is a pretty sick combo, it still takes skill to play effectively, especially on Plat. And given I was Reegaring myself with batguard in the first game, you have no reason to be ashamed of anyything. Changed to my my Wraith AA combo for the second game(all asari game... ) and we matched Cerberus bullshit ounce for an ounce. Match fun and many raging phantoms that were unable to do anything because of Stasis

The l00t was pretty phat for me as well... two Carriers, a Crusader(who is now, at level eight, tied with Valkyrie for my highest UR) and a double pack with Valiant III and Lancer VI. Still no maxed URs though

We totally need to do it again if we can catch Grunt, because Plat isn't nearly as much fun with pugs who keep dying and fail to equip, well... anything!

Still waiting for that Silver game where you play drellguard and me QFE

Those decoys sure did a fine job for me And I've always been a scrub, plat confirms

And really Grunt? You complain about me using Wraith, but not Reegar? Really? You've fallen to the dark side, my friend.

High : Having been away for a week I was looking forward to playing again, so I started up a Gold solo with the Volus Sentinel/GPS.

Low : Tripple devices plus I again lost all XP/Credits after leaving the lobby, yeah FU to MEMP, you never stop trolling do you? (But being the sucker that I am I know I'll soon be back again).
