Recent Game Highlights and/or Low Points

High: "Sick ideas"
Balbock and I sat in a lobby and as usual were pondering what to play. I totally did not need Charge and Nova points to complete Biotic Mastery again, so I suggested Novaguard When it came to the choice of weapon, we somehow both ended up thinking about the Predator... and our fate was sealed! Bai recruited vastator for this because we all know he's into some weird stuff He joined us and... well...

Doesn't look too good, does it...?


Did we make it? You can find out in the video I made, but... the answer is... somehow...

Vas asked if we had any other sick ideas, but we were both out of them
After the randomizer that Vas tried out came up with some questionable and potential sick ideas as well, Vas struck with his sick idea...
Collector Adepts with Scorpions on Plat! We obviously didn't think we can make it as a trio, so we went Public to torture teach a pug

And we definitely had to teach them. We curried their SalEngie with a mighty Avenger through the game, discussing strategy whenever we needed it
"Oh look, the Salarian took out the Atlas. I think we don't need to babysit him that much..."
"Hm, we could try and see how he fares."
"I don't think that's a good idea, but sure..."


Despite our best efforts to keep them alive though, we lost them at the end. They camped by the EZ and got picked up by a Banshee
At least they got their credits
And it definitely was such a fun match and I had a great time with you guys! Thanks a lot

PS: I also made a video of it, hehe...

Ha! I think I've just beaten those odds! See the thread of BSNers you bump into. I feel speshul now.


(and I meant for the Infiltrator part. I'm always equipped, at least.)

'Low: The lag has been ranging from bad to awful lately and I don't think it's me'


I hear you mate

I'm not really sure, your ping is great and the speeds are more than fine. I've had a 25 mb/s connection where I didn't have lag with another person streaming Netflix or YouTube, and I've had a 3 mb/s connection that was hot garbage so 36/5.5 w/ 17ms ping is good. Wired vs. wireless can make a difference too. I've noticed more lag and jitter when I'm on my Xbone (wireless) compared to the 360 (wired). Maybe the issue is the router or packet loss (I think this is separate from ping)? Someone who actually knows this could probably help you better than me.

Doesn't hurt to check; here's the list of ports that need to be forwarded by platform:

Mass Effect 3 PC

TCP  -

UDP 3659

Mass Effect 3 Xbox 360

TCP 3074

UDP 88, 3074, 3659


Mass Effect 3 Playstation 3

TCP 3478-3480, 5223, 8080

UDP 3074, 3478-3479, 3658-3659


P.S. Taken from the excellent portforward.com

It's called forwarded because any network packet received on that port on the external interface address (the one that's exposed to the Internet) will be forwarded to an internal address (let's say that of the PC or the console) on the same port. 
The two notions (router and firewall) as far as a small network is concerned are mostly interchangeable, as most of the devices that are used to connect to the Internet nowadays have (more or less) both functions. 

Come on, you PUG! That's at least a Highest!  Getting theDoc, Vas and Xel in one shot that's pure magic...
Also unlike u, Senor is really a good boi...   And pray do share to whom you are referring when u talk about old veterans.  

Doc, trolling (or self-trolling) is clear, but what Sona did, voluntarily or not, is on the Trollmaster level . One-shot = three kills and not clueless pugs, but top players. I am still chuckling watching that gif ...
