Doublewipe. It's a word. I couldn't tell you the last time I had two wipes in a row. The first was a GiP when I had no equipment, so I don't feel too bad overall. The host was an excellent TSent with Arc Pistol and I was generally unflustered as a Salarian Infiltrator with Javelin II. We did a preset White Reapers game which went to hell on Wave 10, thanks in no small part to an N7 13 who simply hadn't a clue. I should be experienced enough at this stage to adapt, and I've no doubt we could have made it as a duo, but we had Devices dotted around the LZ and sometimes errant pugs really can make matches a nightmare. The host and I did try to kite the enemies down to the bottom of the map, but the others didn't get the memo so we went for the brute force multiple missile approach. We failed. But at least we tried. I keep wiping on this wave...of new pugs that come to Gold with no equipment, un-levelled weapons, etc. The last game was Dagger/Geth. I had a Human Soldier (which is why I wiped really, I suck with that guy...but I want to blame others right now) So, died in Wave 9. Final score was -- Me: 215K Pug 1: 30K Pug 2: 15K Pug 3: Mostly empty, but with a revolving door of quitters I think we should all consider there to be a new difficulty rating above Platinum, which should be called the "Babysitting" ??? (Just to be clear, I'm not complaining, just trying to be humurous. Happy to play the babysitter, but I have to do it only a little at a time....after a few easier Platinum solos).

I really had some nice time today with Pugs, one had a mic on so we chatted a bit. We both kept dieing and reviving each other. Many times it resulted us napping simultaniously at the same spot. SalMasRac was babysitting us. Thanks!

SalSent It's after bedtime but I got the crazy idea to make my own Salarian Sentinel with console commands and the coalesced editor. Since you can only add Rank 1 Powers, he didn't get to take any extra Power Damage, or the Cooldown Penalty Reduction Evo, so he lost the ability to detonate his own Fire Explosions with Energy Drain. But the Damage Reduction sure did come in handy on the next match when I set it to Private to reserve a spot for @vella , and she got the infinite loading glitch several times, and one of the pugs left, turning the match into a Gold+ Duo with a TGI and I on Hazard White vs 10 Geth at a time. We both extracted with over 200k score, but it was quite a ride. UPDATED: A followup test demonstrated that if I use Power Efficiency III, he regains the ability to detonate Fire Explosions. I may spec out of Decoy to put points into Fitness for this. That's fair enough.

Awareness.
Or, why it's a bad idea to stand out in the open on Hydra when Ravagers and Marauders are running around. Had to use my volus bowling ball to run around and keep killing Ravagers since the others on the team didn't seem to notice the triple volleys that kept pelting them. Gah.

Mmkay-I-s'pose. Did three matches on xbox playing human adept and sentinel, with nobody talking but managing to get the job done. Most people had quite high challenge scores but I couldn't tell if they were BSNers or not, no missile removal, Krogan headbutting, or jimming between waves I left one lobby as they were doing the same preset, and yawn to that. I also managed to gel myself into a cookie monster crab nibble, and died a fair bit elsewhere but I think I pulled my weight. Added a couple more upgrades to my Gold collection. Only one moment made me laugh out loud, as I Threw a mook and watched the batarian sentinel go for a nice hatesurf as he doofed it Usually I am the doofer so it was funny to see!

Since you can only add Rank 1 Powers, I'm not 100% on this but I seem to remember Voluptuous Volus (maybe?) saying something about using a console command to enter the power spec menu while in game so that you could put more points into added powers. I think it came up in one of the modding threads on the old BSN somewhere.

Ok here we go, sorry about that, looks like it was actually Excella Gionne I was trying to think of, here's the thread I was talking about: forum.bioware.com/topic/514278-novaguard-juggernautupdated-with-new-video/?hl=%20adding%20%20powersLooks like instead of them though it's actually someone named JimmyBazooka who mentions the console command, but it's never named in the thread. Maybe Mgamerz knows what it is.

I've been going over Mgamerz list of dumped commands HERE but so far haven't determined which, if any, of these would do it. I'm only on my second cup of coffee though so I'll try again in 20 minutes.

Mediocre
I don't know what is it today, but it felt like I was carrying 75% of the matches I played earlier. Had 2 or 3 wipes and a game where I had to finish two waves (including Wave 10) alone.

Shit Pugged 3 matches earlier, 3 different lobbies, wiped w7 2nd one, top scored all 3, hence why they were shit if I'm top of leaderboard. The 2nd match was a bit frustrating because I got grabbed and 2 pugs didn't gel and there is no flipping way they didn't have any because up til that point very few faceplants and they were revived, so the only gel used at that point was my rage gel at a fuckin lag spike when I was in soft cover. But, I digress. The host attempted soloing, but it was evident he had no idea what he was doing with the Javelin SI. I bet he averaged 1 shot every 30 seconds. Im pretty sure he soloed for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, curiosity got the best of me (or maybe edong since up 30k score), and I stuck around to watch. Felt sorry for the poor bastard, but it was like watching a train wreck. And it was my scrubby ass fault for getting grabbed.

I'm only on my second cup of coffee though so I'll try again in 20 minutes. I'm still at work, but after I'm home later and my kids are in bed, I'll see what I can do as well, assuming nobody's found it by then.

Found something interesting. If you are ingame, type: profiles and you will get a list of commands and syntax. Once you have added a power to your MP kit, for example throw, you can type: profile power self throw And you'll get this: So now it's a question of how to assign those evolution points. UPDATED: Also of note, it's mentioned in the guide written by Excella Gionne that Powers won't get the proper Cooldown until someone joins your game, forcing it to refresh, but I've discovered that if you give yourself the Cain, then fire it, that also forces a refresh, and you will then have the proper Cooldown.

Ok as for the Evolved Choices themselves, it didn't make much sense at first, but I knew there had to be some rhyme or reason to it, and I think I've figured that out. For EnergyDrain, it says this: Evolved Choice0 0 Evolved Choice1 1 Evolved Choice2 2 Evolved Choice3 0 Evolved Choice4 0 Evolved Choice5 3 And for Incinerate, it says this: Evolved Choice0 0 Evolved Choice1 1 Evolved Choice2 2 Evolved Choice3 0 Evolved Choice4 3 Evolved Choice5 0 Here is how I have him specced atmSo at first I thought, of course, that Choices 0-5 were simply the left to right progression. But that didn't make sense. Neither did "0, 1, 2, or 3" make sense for Evolutions that only have two possible selections. Here's how I think it goes: Choice0 Choice2 Choice4 Choice1 Choice3 Choice5 In that sequence. And every time it encounters a selected Evolution, it assigns it a number in sequence. So the first Evolution Encountered is 1, the second Evolution encountered is 2, and the third Evolution encountered is 3.

I wonder if the AutoLevel command can apply points mid-match to level up freshly-added powers? I didn't figure out the command to enter the powers menu, though I did do some other interesting stuff, like respawn with a different kit, throw away my gun, and enter the weapon selection menu, all while in a MP game.
Edit: Is there a way to assign the levels you found via console? SetParam maybe?

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN Searched for U/U/Plat, found this guy: I was really hoping to see how poorly they performed, but I got loading forever and never got into the game. Just looking at that guy's score nearly resulted in an emergent coffee ejection, Sal
He and IAI need to hang out.
It gets even better. I've looked over his profile, he's got now: N7 - 350635116 and Challenge - 232096635. On the other side he completed his N7 challenge just 3 times and never completed his biotic mastery to give just one example... I must admit something eludes me...

"why?"
I'm playing Turian Havoc w/ At-12 Raider, the game was Cerby/Vancouver/Gold.
One of the PuGs was running a Smashless Cerby-Adept that had a M-55 Argus, I'm sure he got all of his points missile-ing wave 11.
The other was a dime-a-dozen Juggy w/ Reegar, who loved to be killed by turrets.
Third one is not worth mentioning.

I have plenty of points to spare. Somehow I did manage to turn my Salarian Engie into a Vanilla Human Soldier, I have no idea how that even happened.

I found another alternate missile launcher. In addition to the Cobra, Cain, and Blackstar, you can giveitem self titanmissilelauncher. It takes a second to charge up, then fires like 6-8 missiles which will attempt to seek out individual targets. If individual targets cannot be acquired, they will converge on available targets. Not nearly as reliable as the Cobra, but fun as hell to use.
If you don't have a good line of sight to a group of enemies, try firing it straight up into the air.

Harder
I was on BatSol, doubled this guy's score, he got on his mic and asked me sarcastically if I could carry him harder. I replied that yes I could, actually, as BatSol isn't even my carry kit, and I would take that next match. Then I picked SalInf, tripled his score, and he quit.
