I'm an lolconsole peasant and, like all peasants throughout world history, when we aren't given things by our PC masterrace overlords we resort to other methods of obtaining them.I mean we say thank you sir and go about our day.
Isn't it cheaper to just buy a new computer, instead to pay for the membership?
I have a few consols myself, so no offence, my nude friend.
Over the long haul it's probably cheaper, but at this point I already have the console and get decent deals on Live so I can't justify the money on a new PC. When the one I have dies, then I'll upgrade.
We used to be in love, but now we're just in like And we broke all our promises, and baby, that ain't right

Yeah, but I've been so busy for the past few months I've had no real downtime to sit at the PC and play and since I've only got time at night to play. With the Xbox being in my room it means I don't have to leave my bed

You got lazy. I see only excuses.Where are N7 runs? Apry is hiding as well. Something has to change.
Low: Detrimental bug while sniping. It appears that decloaking is not registered client-side, or rather: when the cloak's cooldown ends, my character appears as cloaked (while in fact, it is not), the only way to break this not-cloak is to actually cloak and if I don't do this before it expires, a cooldown is triggered despite no power being used whatsoever (I can record this if my description is unclear). Seems to appear only after extremely fast quickscoping off-host and can be somewhat mitigated by switching from BW to Javelin, but hey, I hate delayed action weapons.
Did anyone else have this bug before? How to deal with it?
Edit: it's exactly what's happening in this video; summon TheNightSlasher, do you know something about dealing with this thing?

Hibernation mode deactivated
It's a pretty well-known bug. In my experience, breaking the cloak by shooting immediately after cloaking won't be registered on the host's side and you remain cloaked. If you do nothing after the shot, the cloak lasts the entire duration and your power requires the full cooldown.
But there are several ways to overcome this: 1. Don't shoot immediately after cloaking (Javelin's delayed shot actually helps in this regard if the connection isn't too laggy) 2. With multiple-shot snipers like BW, shoot the second round and you'll break cloak more often than not. 3. After shooting, reload-cancel with light melee instead of medi-gel. The light melee breaks the cloak. With characters having quick melee animation like vanilla humans and salarians, this is my preferred choice. 4. If you're still cloaked after the shot, use a power that's not on cooldown. That'll break the cloak. 5. Host
These work most of the time. They workarounds in 1-4 won't give you the shortest cooldown possible but it's much better than the full cooldown time.
And if you still keep experiencing the issue, fret not. Everything is Working as IntendedTM.
You can also just Not Cloak which is what I've done by mistake totally on purpose a few times, and then wondered why I wasn't killing stuff as efficiently as normal.
Low: RZEZNIK1975PL is still active, running a full auto Javelin off-host and neglecting objectives. Today he got kicked, came back, was actually useful for a while and got stabbed by a Phantom at W11. Though, I have my doubts that the number in his nickname is his birthyear: we exchanged some insults and he sounds nothing like a 44 y.o.
High: Raising a pug? Someone new stayed with me for six hours, including one duo match, gettting visibly better with each round and reaching the level of Gold viability in the end.

6 hours? That's a lot of games. It has been a while since I played even two back-to-back games.

High: Two Gold matches with Baibai and an old friend of his occured, weee! Also, Baibai and I made this teamwork smilie
High: We got to play with this lovely pug carrot again too
Low (not for Senor obviously ): Glacier twice in a row. Thanks, game! But...
High: TEAMWORK!!!
High: Later on we played with Urizen and vastator But... Low: It was on HDagger (f*** ammo boxes)... Yuck. However...
Highest: We caught Vas stretching! Gotta stay flexible in these matches
(^Bai's screenie, thanks for letting me borrow it)
High-but-oh-so-low: Trollector BS on Reactor... @boatinhovic joined us for this one, and he had to curry me through a wave after Bai and Uri had some questionable dates with... things Thanks for this, and generally, thanks everyone for the revives Perhaps I still shouldn't Vanguard on Plat Messy match... oh well.
High: In our last match with a pug I had to take care of the most dangerous enemies I just HAD to nuke something...
Thanks for the great games, everyone

Low: Failed two lolsilver duos on PS3 on my first day out of retirement, due mostly to Geth BS. And rusty scrubbery, obviously.
High: I know I will truly come to regret saying this, but I haven't had a wipe, crash, black screen, restart or even loss of frames since, despite running into Collectors on Gold Hazard maps on more than one occasion. I've run into a couple of excellent pugs as well, one of which was a KroGuard with an Acolyte and GPSMG - not a combo I've seen before but he outscored me in every game. I won't be trying it anytime soon though!
Low: No URs to show for my credits. Some things never change.

High: I was able to play mostly plat for once this weekend and this scrub only failed a couple duos. I was happy to see the abundance of plat lobbies, which is a nice change of pace, as they tend to be pretty scarce on Xbox.
Low: I still play too aggressively and binge waste gels and ops in scrubby fashion.
Super Low: I JIP'd a plat match of London/Geth (already a shitty combo) with my trusty Venom MQE and the other 3 players were Winfiltrators. The host was a bit off: Arcs were not throwing/hitting, Incinerates were going through enemies, and I was taking so much aggro so often I was ready to throw something. Needless to say I should've rage quit, but ended up rage nuking instead. Everything can be summed up in one gif.

A couple of days ago someone wanted to know, what this Paladin shield bashing is all about. A quick respec for my Paladin and throwing in some fitting Equipment and a BatGlove later and off we went. Shield bashing Cerberus all around a Reactor.
That was all well and good, but upon watching fraggle's video of that game and hearing a sound, a question arose: "Can the Paladin with a BatGlove shield bash heads off with his light melee?"
Today we put it to the test in a duo:
Some Reapers volunteered in Rio as test subjects and tried to put up a decent fight...
But they first needed to get some Ravagers on the field and Banshees to get us out of cover before they became a bit more than a pushover. They even pulled a mean dirty trick in Wave 8 by making the match a temporary solo. But all that was for nought for them. They got shot, they got Snap Freeze'd, they got Incinerated, they got Shield Bashed, they got Shield Bashed and Incinerated and exploded in all kind of Tech manners. In short: They all died. In Wave 10 even one of the Brutes, that became a Target, saw the inevitable and decided to jump from one of the upper walkways, over the lower walkway right into the water to make it easier and quicker for everyone... His mates didn't get that memo... And that they decided against mass bathing was actually a good thing, because we would have died laughing and lost otherwise
Higher: Yes, I will keep this Paladin build and play him more often if fitting for the theme. I like it a lot and this game was pure fun
After that game we... Oh, you want to know an answer for the question about the light melee? Fair enough, I guess you all know, what 2 Drelldepts with Graals do to a horde of Collectors anyway.
Low: It doesn't work...
... always. But that means HIGH: sometimes it does decapitate enemies with light melee (, offhost). A bit random but good enough (Because I played this game offhost you have to take my word for it... or better test it youself, if you want)
High: jumped into a Gold / Glacier / Cerberus match as the Human Adept and proceeded to wreck house alongside a Geth Infiltrator and an Ex-Cerb Vanguard.
Low: thought we were going for 10 Waves Survived, but then the Geth Infiltrator decided to bathe in some Ravager goo.
High: the Shockwave-less Human Adept with the Talon is pretty much perfect for reload hiding.
Singularity Talon shoot X 4 -- this will apply ammo effects Warp -- detonate ammo, hide the Talon reload Talon shoot X 2 Warp -- detonates a biotic explosion Talon shoot X 2 (Singularity will expire and detonate another biotic explosion off the Warp) you should be just about off cooldown to reload hide the Talon again
High : joined NinjaSuperiority on a solo in progress, (joining was long and painful) with a melee double dash cabal. Bsner and GiP tends to multiply my already exceeding lust for blood. Was able to burn all my stuff in one or 2 waves . We proceeded on with CarlosS4444 for a glacier cerb game but on plat. Well i jumped in every possible shitty mix, burning through gels and ops like a true elite spectre , putting mu dear partners to test ! well they even beat w10 device despite having to revive me all around, not funny !
HIgher: long time i havent played the girl like that, i would have to stick to gold and find a better rythm, cause i didnt killed a lot either by melee or Pstrike

The three survive medal was me before any of those Kants joined. The Juggys sucked endless on Atlases. Medis and missles were toxic to them. I don't play much as a Drellguard, so I couldn't carry them, while they died everywhere and couldn't kill a single enemy. I used the time to just type random commands and some worked like "revive", ofcourse two seconds later all of them were dead anyway. I killed myself by accident and everything was over. I don't care if it's one beginner, but three of them? Like damn, have the decency to leave, if you see that everything goes down.
well technically we are done, we made it, so we could post 'em. On the other hand some of 'em can take a big cut in time so the redos are almost a no-brainer stay tunned :-P

Also I played some fun challenges with NinjaSuperiority and @boatinhovic which were really exciting for me, because I am that easy to amuse.
Easy to amuse? Somebody needs to try my mod with sprinting Pyros and Atlases (And Swarmers, and Abombs that outrun Adrenaline Drells). Definitely a giggle-worthy mod... as long as you don't set the difficulty too high
High: Decent duo on Haz Giant/Cerb with a HAdept and my TSent. To my shame I got distracted on wave 7 (I think) and stomped before I saw what was going on, but the pug managed to clutch the wave for us.
Low: There were 2 other players. That's fine, I guess... all I've ever asked for is one competent teammate, and that's what I got.

High: Good games this weekend, though mostly gold, with kits I normally don't play. But thanks to promotions and other challenges I'm using some kits I normally don't play a lot. I accidentally took a the wrong setup to Platinum and I didn't really hurt the team, I was just slow to kill things and somehow still hit 100k points in that match. Here is the setup I took; this is what I thought I was taking I'm almost at 100k challenge points.
Low:
Lowest: Wtf is up with everybody nuking spawns on extraction lately? Every match I play seems to have players with this illness.
