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

Logged in just now and my galactic readiness is at 93%.


Holy shit.

Suicide Bunny plays Mass Effect?

As to last pug "Fck This, I'm going to solo." I don't think this needs a description, we've all faced this moment enough times. Solo was quicker, easier, less-stressful, more fun, too less consumables, and made more money per time. Fcking PUGs.

Shouting Out

Came across two players with names : ME4IsAFail. ME4IsA* I forgot what's the other one. Rather distracting. They weren't so hot in the match though and it's geth. I dropped out midway because everyone kept dying. I tried to revive but ended up dying too many times.

Had a collector match with three asari on my AA. The host was blazing around, biotic booming everything in sight. At wave 3, killing targets, he missile the targets. I don't see the point of it when the group was holding up well, we could get the targets easily. I was setting off biotic combos along with him now and then. We were on the second target, setting off combos when he whipped out the missile. I just dropped out. There was no reason to missile, nobody was dropping like flies. If he wanted to be top dog, it's all his. 

I do not mind the use of missiles if there is a problem achieving the objective. If the group tried and failed a few times and the clock is ticking away. Or if the rest just didn't seem to care about the objective or were stuck battling other mobs and couldn't get to the objective.

My point to my quitting that match is; the group clearly showed they could handle the mobs. It was wave 3, the numbers were not that numerous. No one was going down, everyone was doing their part. I was enjoying the challenge of getting the target, in the midst of a scion and two collectors. It was not difficult with reave, etc. With combos, the target would go down quickly. The host and I were hitting the group, setting off combos when he just missile. Needlessly. There was plenty of time left since he also missile the first target.

The whole point of the MP objectives; work with other players, enjoy the challenge of achieving the goal. I like it best when other players, especially those who could missile but chose not to, cooperate. I have such matches. They're enjoyable.  We all knew what to do. We came together to do it. 

I think our wires are x-crossing somewhere.   The ones who could not handle the mobs and persistently get stomped usually are newcomers. Usually. I've come across a few exceptions. 

I have enjoyable matches with players who could missile but chose not to. They're well kit out (I saw this in the lobby) and were clearly not newcomers. They elected to achieve target objectives using the skills of the avatar they were playing and cooperate with team members who displayed that willingness to work together.  That's all I'm going to say about this.

NOOOOOOooooooo

Extraction is the other way!

Oh, well.

It was harder than I thought it would be.

But, didn't need to gel and had most consumables left at the end

Yep, our friend keeps saying the same thing. "This game is actually FUN to play!", "Dammit, I keep trying to jetpack places and revive with Triangle(Y for XBox)", "Combos actually do damage in this game!", "That game was so much fun! Man I love these characters!"

Modded.

Dropped into a Cerberus gold match. The host was a geth infil, the other player was a TS. I was the third to come in and the final fourth that appear was yet another infil. Ok. I thought something was off when at wave 3, objective was disabled device. I was at the other end of the map. I could see the host was at the first target. I got ready to run to the second.

Atlas destroyed; target destroyed. ??? Wasn't it disabled device???

Second objective was up. I looked. The objective reticle was squared on a Atlas but it was listed as disabled device. As I looked on, the host, a GI, ran up and bop the Atlas with his Hurrican in about five seconds flat. I left.

Except it was Gold.

I am having really bad luck with sooper-laggy hosts today. O.O
