On the few rare occasions I end up hosting, I had noticed this. Was a bit surprised considering it wasn't supposed to happen on-host. Thought it was something on my end. I shall try your advice and limit frames to 60 and see what happens next time I'm ninja'd

Another Machine Mastery notched up I know you've jiggled juggled a few accounts over the years but I'm wondering how many times you must have completed Machine Mastery by now? I'm also wondering if such a thing as an Adrenaline Mod X existed, would that be enough for you to deploy the Jugg? Nah, thought not. What I do know is that it's not possible to complete MM without at least utilising some toaster technology, so I'm wondering what it was like for you to accrue those GPR/Proximity Mine points? I remember the time I bought Queen's Greatest Hits on vinyl and was terrified I'd run into one of my mates at or near the checkout - was it a bit like that? I can't be arsed to go look up the other two account but I'd estimate its somewhere in the 30-40 range total. This one is the youngest one with the smallest manifest and it just hit 9 You are correct, I'd never deploy the jugg even if it were faster. Worlard can run and he's still annoying to play, getting stuck on walls that come up to his shins. Also, it's a toaster. My route to MM is always the 5 quarians and the 3 weapons. The Arcbros take the most time as they are the least interesting to play. GPR is honestly not that bad on the Quarksman on Gold apart from the whimpy sound. Hit heads and it kills mooks. Have a back up hurdurr or something for bosses, or a Scorpion for fantums. Javelin and onlyuseme Arc Pistol are no problem The most efficient way actually invovles the incredibly easy to get GI proxy mine points over 200 waves with one of the quarian kits, but I'd never admit to using that🤫

I was once in a match where three players - myself included - had a high-damage low-ammo sniper rifle. We spent more time making a mad dash for ammo boxes than cover. It had never happened before and it has never happened again, but it remains one of the most hectic and fun surprise challenges I've had: you had to dodge the enemies, you had to be not greedy with your ammo, you had to make your shots count and you still had to be the sniper asshole that absolutely needs to be the highest on the boards. I'm convinced that if friendly fire had been a thing, I'd have gotten melee'd to death by my teammate for getting the last ammo just before they made it.
Another time I was on the Firebase Dagger map with one other player and we were facing Collectors waves. At one point, we got boxed into the center room because we got cornered on all sides due to a surprise Praetorian blocking the exit. My teammate died - I didn't see what happened, but I'm pretty sure they accidentally backed into the Praetorian, as it was coming around the corner, while trying to keep their eye on the collectors. I was following them, back the exit, and then I turned around and they were just dead and there was a Praetorian right there.
That left me trapped in a small space that had just gotten even more crowded by the arrival of a goddamn Praetorian. I nearly died, but I managed to kill the last couple of collectors before engaging in what must have been the most annoying game of peek-a-boo for the praetorian. I literally went around and back the big thing in the middle of the room while whittling the thing down until it finally died. My teammate and me were both so happy we didn't lose our game that we celebrated by firing into the ceiling. It was another stressful but incredibly fun game.

How many nukes did you have? None. Sniper match, I distinctively remember wishing I had some left and being relieved that one of my teammate did when we were waiting for extraction. Praetorian match, I had used my very last one on a scion because I got lazy.

Heh yeah I'm sure if I had been on Giant it would have taken even longer... probably should have left it open/public (would have been way faster with a few teammates) but I wasn't sure just how much of a scrub I was going to be after such a long sabbatical and I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of other ppl

Personally idc how good/bad people are as long as there's no tomfoolery in the loadout we good.

Too many decent solos tossed in the can, for forgetting this.

So you may be on to something. But, I know them and can abuse them mostly. They hate ice, they hate fire.
It is the Collectors I reserve my special hate for. I guess we all have a faction we would nuke from existence. This war will never end

This war will never end Beerfish I agree there was a lot of it when I was playing consistently a few months ago. I wouldn't preset Geth as I hate them more than the rest, just luck of the roll for UUG. I got to troll the shit out of them at least with the Salaraian Engineer's Decoy for most of the match. Primes at least completely ignore you for that thing, still scrubbed it up though.

Oh yeah absolutely, nothing worse than having people finally drop in for the end of wave 10 or 11 and ruining what turned into a solo. I've had it happen where people drop in during wave 10 for a hack or escort, and then either bleed out or don't participate in the hack/escort.

Finally got around to working through the LE trilogy a year after buying it! ME1 was still fun, ME2 a touch heavy on rinse repeat, hit ME3 and it sparked the need to reinstall ME3 original and see where I got to with my manifest and what builds I was playing around with.
I'm still as mediocre as I remember, tunnel vision sitting in the open too long to try get one more kill and going down all over the shop, find that overly aggressive builds suit me the best but being in APAC geography and off host it just doesn't work out sometimes. still the best horde mode co op shooter ever made, don't think I can forgive them for not adding it to the LE edition.
Haven't actually gone back to the LE single player, just one more match....

Decidedly low point for me for a certain host. Here's my experience with this host. He hands a dress card for a platinum dance.
At first the card says : no reegar
I went to the wardrobe and made selections but no reegar was picked. I showed up for the party. Host was exchanging mad red kicks with another. I decided to go on a walkabout since the party wasn't ready. Came back, party was go. After five minutes, the guy he had a beef with showed up. Host wasn't happy. PARTY OVER, he yelled. I was unceremoniously dumped.
Darn, that ruined my suit.
Another party was in the works. I decided I wanted to dress as a jug but no reegar. I was all ready to try out the new outfit for the jug. Another party goer turns up. Three of us. Ok, party ready to go. Seconds later, host stops at the lobby and says
No jug.
Heigh ho. I'm writing this host off permanently. Can't please him. I play games to relax, be happy and play whatever class I want. But his criteria for a party dance is, well, not for me.

People really kick for the kit you choose? I've got to say over the past 50 silver and gold matches I've played I'm yet to see a red X show up at all which has been nice. Had one of the most boring matches Gold, Rio, Reapers. Off host I often suffer from some banshee magnet hands, after getting the kiss of death I noticed the host had god mode on and his nova was one shot kill anything it touched. We had two other players who kept going down relentlessly and somewhere around wave 6 or 7 he enabled full party god mode, if I wasn't that deep in it already and wanting the BatSol extraction credit I would have bailed. Origin / ME3 has no way to block people right so you cannot match make with them?

So... this game always has something new for me. How, I have no idea at this point, but every so often a wtfBBQ occurs. This was a couple weeks ago, FB Ghost Hazard. I saw some fuckery going on off the LZ in the covered walkway from the LZ to the back left area. Correction, not IN it. On it. On top of it to be precise. Which I did not know was ever a thing, but apparently it is because I was able to nearly achieve it once, and know where it is because of the kind idiots that showed this idiot how to do it. So, I will be happy to share how to do it, although it is about as tricky as getting to the Hydra cheese spot. Not sure how advantageous it may be, the one time I successfully managed to glitch up, I actually sailed like a vanguard a million miles in the air and overflew the landing.... it was a weird experience and I laughed my ass off. So, the ones I have seen commonly, are - Giant somehow behind the spawn zone off the map
- Hydra behind boxes
- this new one (to me at least) on Ghost
Are there others? I don't abuse these, but I am curious

This was soo common at one point on Xbox360 I'd have to frequently leave matches when I'd see the entire party run for the corner and start attempting to get up behind. I've not seen the other two that sounds kinda interesting is there a video showing?

I've not seen the other two that sounds kinda interesting is there a video showing? I guess I could try to make one. I will make a simple picture of where it is and describe the method... my memory is fuzzy on this in the single player, but it may be that there was a ladder there... or it is a vortex to the moon. In just words, if you were to layout the FB Ghost map such that the LZ is at the bottom left - Go straight "north" up the ramp, past the ammo box, and then go through the corridor. After leaving the corridor, immediately turn right hugging the back wall of that container, moving parallel to the nearby ramp. Not sure if this is character specific, I was playing a hop kit not a roll kit, but I don't remember hopping/rolling being a part of it like it is on Hydra. If I play anytime soon, I will try and capture some footage. Need to install OBS or similar first, ininstalled the nvidia girlfriend experience a while ago.
