*****Your last Pug in one word*****

~oops~

I didn't know those two were famous here. Now I read their name I remember that I played onced in their lobby. It was honestly a very smooth game that could have been very pleasant if they were not shouting in the mic for nothing. For example when I nuked a spawn 15 m from our pizza delivery group in wave 10, or when nobody came across all the map to revive her (it was Monalisa). Cmon do not complain if you die alone, just use a med-gel.

I can understand my playstyle doesn't fit other's philospohy, or my decisions are stupid etc.... but I cannot understand people can insult you or shout at you this way. I'm not their friend or whatever, just a total random guy. Would they do the same if they were right in front of me? Seems like their education stop at their keyboard.

Fun thing is I outscored Ramius. Monalisa just blowed us with her Male Quarian Infiltrator. After this I decided to leave, because I do not play a game to be harassed, but to have fun. I search for another lobby and guess what? Fell into the same. I have been insta-kicked. I still wonder why. I played objective, revive teammates (even the shouting one after she shouts at us!), use gels, rockets (just one before being "shouted at") and kill my part of mobs. And I didn't use my mic also (I don't have anyway). They are quite picky to say the least.

Pure joy...

Joined a lobby...with some mid-level weapons carrying squad-mates. It was set to unknown/unknown/gold....female human vanguard, Female quarian engineer and a Turian Soldier,...with myself as a Destroyer. Some days i just feel like being a tank and can't be bothered rolling around, dodging frantically and trying to avoid enemy fire.

Cyclonics 4, AR amps 2, AP ammo 3, War fighter package 5....and we get White/geth/gold....I absolutely hate the geth, but I absolutely loved how the Destroyer laughs in the face of their stun-lock. Felt like a true boss...everybody else hiding behind cover running around and i'm just walking through the rocket fire and walking down pyros and rocket troopers and shredding them with the Typhoon.....now i admit i wasn't facing down Primes, but everything else was pushin' up daises.

Ahhhh..it felt good owning those cheap tin cans....had to clutch waves 6, 8 and 10,....and the Destroyer had no problem with it....

Scimitar.




Scimitars everywhere. Nothing died.

Scrambled

London/Collectors/Gold. Needed two missiles on wave 6 devices to keep people out of trouble, and only had one left for wave 10 targets from bailing out the friendlies.

Targets turned into some kind of dogpile at the bottom of the extraction side stairs, where (now out of missiles) I planned to revive one of the three from the ammo box to "distract" the possessed praetorian so I'd have time to get the others up.

I'm still not certain about any potential disappointment I may have that the pug I revived already had a missile ready to go when they got up, because all three managed to get out of that mess. (With little help from me other than drawing a bit of fire off, I might add, since I had given up on them after the one revive and then almost immediately got swarmed again).

With targets and wave 10 cleared we then proceeded to do some kind of Keystone Cops variation of the extraction wave, but we managed to stumble our way to a full extraction.

It was fun.

I've played a number of games with them before.  Above average but Ramius tends to spawn nuke around wave 5 so I usually leave their lobbies.

_______

On topic, gg.  I just finished a good Collectors/Giant/Gold game with two competent PUGs, an Asari Vanguard and Paladin.  Pretty rare to see a Paladin do the dodge-to-cancel-Snap Freeze-animation when PUGing.

There also seem to be quite a number of newbies on Gold nowadays.  I would have thought only vets would still be playing this game.  

If I drop in on them, I scramble to put the kick on them both before anything else.  Then leave if they haven't kicked me by that point.

My QFI joined gip with Juggy in it.
Toasters weren't a match for this duo...

Nova

Collectors/Giant/Gold

My Valkyrie Turian Sentinel joined a Cabal, Turian Soldier, and Novaguard. Anyone ever run into WookiesAndCream? I'm not 100% certain (things were dying pretty fast anyways), but I think his Nova was doing WAY too much damage. I swear he took down a half-shields Praetorian with a single hit.

Two melee jugss and a AIU? Yesterday? Did they have like low level weapons? I was in a such a lobby. We started out with mostly Krogans but it went downhill in wave 10. They seemed to like Reapers and put effort in it so I stuck with them and forgot that Shadow attracts swarmers - couldn't clutch wave 9. Then two switched to Juggers, the other to AIU - I didn't want to be another infiltrator and so I picked Jugger as well for the lols. We pretty much stomped the Reapers then on Glacier with little issue.

Ouch.

White/Geth/Gold

You know those games were it feels like everything is picking on you specifically? In this case it was just the Primes, but still, it's annoying. It felt like every time I'd run around a corner a Prime would pivot mid-volley to switch targets to me. During a rather painful wave 6 hack, I dropped 7 times in a row without having a chance to move an inch, yet the other guy (we were a duo most of the match) could just stand there beside me reviving me over and over, and I never even heard him shout the "shields down" line.

Edit:  The next lobby I dropped into involved an Asari Vanguard with a Typhoon and Javelin.   Nope, don't feel like dealing with that.

Edit again:  OK, I'm running into an annoying amount of non-fun hacks lately.  I just found a triple-tapping Javelin X.  Do you really think the Javelin X doesn't do enough damage as it is?!

Yep, usually means there's a few infiltrators in the game.

Agro-dump

Rio/Cerberus/Gold

Two infiltrators, a new player and myself. Rio is a bad map for Infiltrator agro-dump as there are lines of sight everywhere. Phantom and nemesis combo hits like a truck at longer ranges. Still made it through, but there were a few missiles used on single phantoms. The host's Javsteppin' was excellent though.
