ThePugsAin'tRight
I smoked some good medical herb, fire the PS3, and what do I get? Giant presets after giant presets. With record long loading screens in between. So off to PC I go. Where there's more map variety. And much faster to load screens. But the few pugs I just played with didn't provide me the right chemistry for my altered scrubbier mindset. The search continues.

Host
I've only been playing about once a week now but had a couple of games this morning. However, couldn't complete a single full game because each game the host would quit half way through. Host migration would follow but now the new host has a horrible connection/lose connection/whatever else happens. Three attempts at gold and not one was completed to extraction. I quit shortly after, unplugged my xbox, hooked my nintendo classic up again and played some Mario Bros 3 instead cuz that game fucking rules.

"FacePalm"
On Geth/Dagger/Gold. I found this disgrace of a QME without Incinerate, & an Vanilla Asari Inept without Throw all in one game.
I don't want to talk about the QME PUG, & the Asari PUG was trying to BE combo Stasis w/ Warp on Armored Targets. That whole match was a cringe fest. Now, I'll go find my Turian Chocolate, & find that Fleet Marine that thought he was being funny by not getting the Incinerate spec on his omni-tool, & shove my metal boot up his rear.

Bedtime
Dropped GiP to Glacier Hazard/Reapers/Gold, Wave 8. Two pugs were already dead. It was just my SE and an SI. We cleared 8 together, then heavy melee'd each other.
Wave 9, pretty much the same. Wave 10 was x4 Devices, well the two pugs, as seemed to be the tradition every Wave, were DoA. I distracted enemies into the basement while the SI did the Devices, but he went down immediately after the final one. I clutched the Wave with no gels and no missiles.
Wave 11, the SI was still standing, but didn't make it to the LZ in time. We both bailed out of that lobby.
I waited a minute, then searched again. Now he had his own game going. I took an Asari Valkyrie, and of course, got Collectors/Rio. As if that wasn't bad enough, it was pretty laggy. Wave 3 I was the only one in the Escort, so I quit. Now there's nobody in the Escort. I hope they run out of time and fail.

I can't remember which poster or in which thread that the 'Throw, throw again' advice was given re biotic priming still being in effect if some tech teammate screws it up. But I would like to thank them for that reminder. I had just a few point left on a dark channel objective so I took my fury for a quick dark channel, throw spin. Normally I would mindlessly keep trying to prime and explode repeat but I did remember the 'If at first you don't succeed, throw, throw again' advice.
And lo and behold I was getting many more booms.
I also think I have set some kind of personal record for the number of times being sync killed with the rocket launcher in my hands. I swear it is at least 10 times in a row where I know i'm in trouble, switch to launcher but get grabbed or beaked to death before I can pull the damn trigger.

Improvement I tried to find a Plat lobby, but all I could find was a preset Rio lobby. So how 'bout Gold then? Nope, I kept dropping into a known terrible host's Hydra game (I'd take lag over Hydra most days, but not both unless we're talking oldschool Red-John). It was late and I was determined to get in a game or two before I called it a night, so I figured I'd just host U/U/G and started solo with a smashguard. Rolled Hazard Ghost/Reapers. Objectives were devices, devices, and targets. I was in the middle of trying to figure out how to kite the masses away from the second device on W6 when I finally got some backup (who proved to be a more than competent distraction). They stuck it out with their AV, and shortly after I got banshee hugged on wave 8 we got a vorcha sent to join us -- and proceeded to clear the wave with a frenzy of missiles (6 used by the newest player). We filled the team out on W9 with a juggernaut, and there was no looking back from there. When we got back to the lobby everyone was readying up for another round, so I switched to AA. Goddess/Cerb went by in a respectable 16:20, and I would've liked to go another round, but that was it for me. Well done PuGs, and thanks for sticking around. I may not have the best host, but there are worse. I also wanted to give other people the option between a laggy host on Hydra, and a laggy host not on Hydra.

Fun Reapers/Dagger/Gold A very fun match, even if I did spend the entire time being chased around by pairs of banshees. The pugs were decent, played smart, and did objectives. And it always helps that my Vorcha Hunter LOVES reapers! (CSMG with incendiary rounds) FEs here, FEs there, FEs everywhere! Oh sexy Turian Cabal what would I do without you? Cry. I would cry. And I will if she isn't in Andromeda MP right away.

HatersAnonymous Dropped into a lobby that was a preset Rio. It was me, the host, and one pug. Preset anything I tend to bail out of, especially Rio, but I was compelled to stay when someone placed a Vote Kick on me! Hmm, I thought, I don't recognize either of the names, but perhaps it's someone from BSN who recognizes me. I readied up, the 4th spot filled, everyone was ready, the countdown began! The host left the second the match started. Migration failed, (indicating that whoever it had attempted to migrate to, had also left), and I lost my equip. I don't even know these people!

Ended up in a lobby with a modded game. Chaotic, crazy but fun. Lots and lots of abominations and husks together with medium mooks of all factions and boss units. This was much more close to what platinum difficulty should be like. Would love to have this mod as well...

AIUniversal use
Too many AIUs. To this one guy's credit, he was cycling shotguns (crusader, wraith, venom), helped with objectives and seemingly held back a bit at times (or just sucked). Still, the snap cheese spam and spawn nuking on wave 11 meant this guy was out for score.
The pugs were capable, but never had a chance to do much and I was nerfing myself with melee kits and weaker weapons. After the preset Geth/White match, the host readied up again, the AIU pug remained, switching from Crusader to Wraith. Now I don't mind being outscored, but AIU+spawn nuking made me want to respond. I readied up my MQE and by wave 11 I just sat back and watched the missiles fly. When they were done, they were 40k shy of my score (preset match).
The AIU left afterwards and I promptly switched back to a nerfed kit to give the pugs some time to shine.

Tales from the Puggerlands vol. Unknown Instead of doing some hardcore challenges on platinum under 20 mins, I decided to remind myself what it feels like to pug some games. In the meantime I thought that I'd finish some character waves. 1st game - Reactor/Reapers/Gold For most of people here this match would be a definition of typical pug match. 2 Juggernauts with Reegars, Vorcha flamer and me- TGI. Instead of HV barrel I decided to install only extended barrel on my Revenant (I saw a thread where people discussed that HV barrel reduces the shoot through wall damage). And I noticed the difference. You can call me scrub. I even managed to end the match at the top of scoreboard. Even we achieved 5 WS. 2nd game - DaggerH/Reapers/Gold Very noticeable lag. Again - GIP. My AIU met some new players who were farming gold. Fortunately for me I had 3 shoot Raider at my disposal. I have to admit, it wasn't very smooth as most of the time me and another Juggy were clutching waves. But on the plus side I didn't have to do it on my own. In the end we all extracted. Edit: I forgot to mention - I cleaned up W10. I think that was a permission for everyone else to nuke extraction wave But it worked! 3rd game - London/Cerberus/Gold Stayed for another game with the host. Joined by some experienced players we managed to end the match in 20 mins, despite noticeable lag. Atlas huged my Krogan Warlord once but other than that, no complaints. All in all I think I enjoyed pugging again. To you all - happy Valentines! (if you celebrate it that is).

Shocking Reapers/Dagger/Gold I thought it was going to be shocking as in electricity. Instead I was shocked by the lack of it. My HE dropped into a wave 2 GiP with another HE and two Demolishers. I lots of electricity right? Wrong. As far as I could tell, the HE had skipped overload and one of the Demos had skipped Arcnades. They did well enough despite the odd power choices, although I suppose you can't go too wrong with a Harrier (HE) and Black Widow (Demo).

Frustrating.... Dropped into a lobby with some mid-lower level pugs. It set to unknown/unknown/gold. We get White/Reapers. Y'know i don't mind carrying (I was using my faithful Phoenix VG) but don't let the CP fool you, I'am a very AVERAGE player!.... .....these guys was dying every round and none of these clowns revived themselves when they got waxed. I went out of my way to get them when I could, but if I can't get to you, gel-up! Luckily wave 3, 6, was targets and the last (10) was devices I believe (That was a trainwreck). I had like 15 revives when all was said and done...probably more than that tho! Luckily enough it was Reapers which is the faction i love playing against, but if this had been Cerb or Geth? I probably would've been waxed.... .....After multiple waves of pugs dying, not gelling, one of them tries to send a friend request.....so i could endure even more of this madness?.....HAIL NAW!..... . These cats probably looked at my CP and thought i could carry for days.... ......we made it to extraction, but it was a grueling 34 min grind....and not the fun kind....I left as soon as we got back to the lobby.
