A badly played Jugg caused my second ragequit in a week or so. [...] I tried shooting it between waves but he just cast it again, so I shot him in the face a few times and quit on wave 7. If I run into him again I'll use missiles to try to make my point more clearly.
Hear hear bud. So sick and tired of seeing this jugs (well this or equally as obnoxious aius, cainspammers you know th elot) "meta"... i'm mkaing it a habit to leave/drop lobbies wherever i encounter those unless i know the player.
Sometimes, very rarely, i still leave just not right away...
...no help with objectives, no gelling (well not until mid-lesson when they suddenly discovered medigel button) and bent on sucking the life outta geth, and the game, one hm at a time... sigh... to get such teammates during the easy mode lobbies twice on a same day... just bleh
LOOL Apry. I watched your videos from yesterday, when you were bullying that poor pug! Only I can do that as the KoP They were brilliant. Why did you change them? Now I can only see a brief moment of them, which is not enough imo. Put original ones back, so everyone could experience that true hatred! I have one definition for it
Savage AF Being "savage af" means to act like no single shits were given and doing something that dances on the line between cool and incorrect. Doing something "savage af" usually gets recognition.
But after I saw this brilliant hate surf, I have nothing more to add. KARMA my friend
PS. Also I'm glad I catched your original response to that situation, before you edited it

oh they're still there, just sitting unpublished... need to tidy them up first with some titles and whatnot
That's a familiar sight for me, especially with that guy. I love playing him but when I roll Collectors I know something like that will happen more than once. It's usually the Psions that get me though, when my ambition is not matched by my ability. Unfortunate, in BatSpeak.
As for the other videos, I agree with Sonashii. Great therapy, savage af indeed, and you also made me realize that I don't think I've ever actually paired the High Lord with any of my Warlords. My relative lack of regard for the big guy may have something to do with that, and I must rectify it soon.

I must have landed in this guy's lobby about a dozen times this week. Decent player overall, vocal and friendly, but their nuke timing could use some work. Likes to drop spawns on escorts and W11 nuking is pretty much a guarantee. Never a problem though. It's just odd behaviour considering the hours invested.

I suspect there's a class of player who can simply never get over the urge to score as many points as possible, but I take your point that experienced players really should be able to overcome that when it's genuinely inappropriate. I just played 5 smooth games in a row with a guy very similar to what you describe. I failed to make extraction on one occasion because I got re-spawned on, and my BatSol made it out of my last game on Ghost with literally 1 second on the clock, despite the fact that I set off on the long way round with 30-40 seconds left, and a totally clear path in front of me. Two gels and two missiles of my own later, with at least 4 dead Primes in my wake I swaggered into the EZ. Given the thread I'll finish with more one-word BatSpeak.

I wouldn't say his missile use was completely awful though. If I was getting outscored by a player with a Collector Rifle, I would consider padding my score to not be too embarrassed come score time.
Excluding players that are clearly better than me of course - which is every BSNer ever.
I've been an outspoken critic about excessive nuking but maybe it's because I take for granted that everyone knows how the spawn budget works.
If you haven't visited this forum or seen any tutorial vids, you can't really know. I spent my first 150 hours on bronze/silver and had no idea it was unlimited on Gold+. It wasn't until I signed up at the old BSN Prime I figured it out.

So I decided to play some games earlier today. I took my female quarian infiltrator for the first time in a long while and thought I'd get some indra points in since it's her go-to weapon. Also I just felt like hacking turrets/geth if I run into them. Anyway, I quick searched and landed in a game in progress on giant/geth. There are three other players already doing their thing. I decided to kinda stay back from a distance and started hacking geth back and forth. When sabotage works well, it works well because hacked rocket troopers just continued to blast other units to pieces. It's also fun to watch one hacked trooper shooting at another and then I would hack the other one so it would shoot right back. Very fun times. However a few more waves in I noticed the other three players in the upper control room and one goes down. Suddenly someone (presumably the downed player) gets on their mic and starts yelling "LET ME DIE! LET ME DIE! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! I'M GLITCHED! I CAN'T RELOAD OR USE AMMO! GUESS WHY? CUZ PEOPLE IN DIS GAME BE GLITCHIN!" I'm just laughing my ass off at this point because he tried to say something else but was not decipherable and I wasn't sure if he was accusing me or someone else of cheating. He bleeds out, then the other two die shortly after and now I'm alone trying to solo. I do it for a few more minutes when one player leaves the match followed by another. I end up getting stun locked to death and just give up.
I thought the encounter was amusing so I managed to get video of it mainly because I wanted know exactly what the whiny baby was trying to say. Clearly he needs a dose of L2P and git gud.
edit-I might post the GT just to shame him

as in, your name choice is ironic- a PUG named "invincible1" (or something close to this, can't remember exactly) drops into my gold game and proceeds to die on swarmer juice within like 20 seconds of joining... and this isn't the first time this has happened with this particular pug; I remember them loading in next to a spawn and dying pretty much immediately in another game a week or two back. Not trying to criticize them or call them out or anything, I just thought it was funny that I keep seeing this person named "invincible" dying within moments of entering a game.
I always avoid hosting since I normally play with quite a bit of lag so on the rare occasions I do host, the PUGs couldn't handle the lag and I ended up spending half the game reviving. Nonetheless, after searching for U/U/G landed me as host several times in a row, I decided to just go with it since there was a BOTB in the lobby.
Let's just say his BOTB was a bit over-rated. He bailed in wave 2 after burning through half his medi-gels. OK, the Collectors were nasty but seriously, that guy was running AWAY from Abominations and not even possessed ones at that. Well, I might have shot a couple of Aboms hugging him/next to him/behind him, but that was entirely accidental.
Anyway, soloed until wave 7 when a couple of PUGs joined. They managed to keep the Collectors sufficiently distracted to let us get to extraction and my first 200K game with the Shadow against Collectors.

Why bother?
There's always this one player / host who never plays anything else but geth. Just geth. I dropped in and went; heigh ho. I stayed because I haven't play a geth match yet. I shouldn't bother. He was spamming rocket spawn kills at every wave. At a guess, he wanted to get past the guy on top. He went past 6 missiles so I guess he put the more ammo buff on himself or he modded.
I and another guy were pairing up since we're biotics. We had no business 70% of the time because of the spawn kills. We stayed together at the LZ, no point going anywhere. At wave 7, the host began to die a few times in a row. We didn't bother to gel him. I didn't wonder why until I brought up the player list a few minutes later. The other player, a human engineer, had left, so the host was without a second and no backup any more.
Well I guess the engineer player got fed up and left. I left too at that point. At a guess, my partner would have left as well. Hope the host had fun with the geth.
Surprise Joined a GIP just starting and PowerDandy followed right after. A real man's man that dude Always telling it straight to your face and rage quitting if you don't listen. But not this time. Not a single word over the mic, helped with objectives and played a damn good Justicar. Maybe because the game was a cruise with two more really good teammates so there was no need for his ranting. Still, pleasantly surprised.

C'mon, you have to give these melee Juggs a little credit. Always willing to camp it out for an entire game and make it easier for the rest of us. Specially when I had the Typhoon equipped on the fat Tsol. I could just go full throttle on that gun without having to worry about those double Banshees and their warp balls. My Jugg teammate stood there like a true champ, taking all the heat. We just had to keep the Ravagers from outflanking the tin can and all was well, and this fella didn't even use a Hex Shield! Though I have to wonder sometimes why these guys waste their consumables on the Reegar because it was not used even once...
Surprise (#2)
Same lobby and this time a Drellgod joined when our Jugg left. Drell Vanguard with the High Lord? Don't think I've ever seen that setup on a non BSN'er. Beautiful, and well played too considering it was against those cheating toasters and all their stagger. Oh, and a shoutout to Obsidian Gryphon who joined the GIP - GG.

Night of the Hunter
My Vorcha Hunter went a-hunting and found a lobby with another one. He readied-up and off we went. We got Reapers on Vancouver and were joined on wave 6 by yet another one. I'm not sure I remember such a thing ever happening before. Wave 9 went south surprisingly quickly but amends were made in the next game, for which nobody changed characters although I admit I switched from a Paladin to a Carrier. We got Collectors on White and were joined by a TGI. Lots of revives but I wouldn't say the mission was ever in any serious doubt. Notable for the total absence on Possessed Abomb takedowns, perhaps a little understandable after the previous wipe. The Hunter is a pretty versatile little guy - I had all 8 available medals in each game with no trouble, although the melee kills take a bit longer with no pistol stunner. STRONGEST!!!

Was waiting in an empty lobby for a while until finally a Drellfiltrator dropped in equipped with Jav 10. Cool. I'm waiting for other teammates to join but apparently this guy has a quad because he readies up with just the two of us. I always appreciate a brave teammate, and it's just Gold so fuck it, I ready up as well.
We get into the game and I could tell by the first wave that it was gonna be a doozy. Teammate, despite using a very powerful setup that kills Cerberus (fuck Cerberus) very well, decides to not shoot anything. Even better on Wave 3 - still just us two btw - he decides it's better to camp by the LZ spamming cloak while everything focuses on me as I'm trying to solo devices. But, 3 Medigel and 1 Ops later I get all of them so, whatever. Credits are credits
Then on wave 4 we get an Asari Infiltrator sniper. We all know how much I love Cerberus, so having them continually greet me with their guns and bdsm space toys as my teammates scurry around like pyjak with their heads cut off made for a great game. All I can say is...thank Space Kid for Lord Claymoar.
25mins and 200k later, we extract and I Alt+F4 to go waste time doing something else. Although I did get a Frag Grenade killstreak. That was pretty funny
I met our precious Tecdet too. I do like this guy, l never get bored with him. He was yelling at the rest of the team not to run towards the LZ, but stay on the other side of the map and fight the enemy, seconds before extraction. He stayed.
So I played some games earlier today and I ran into the same crybaby from a few days ago who complained about someone cheating. Landed into a lobby with the same guy. As soon as I joined the lobby, he said something but I had music playing and I don't know exactly what he said but I'm pretty sure he said my name and then something about me being a cheater. Three of us readied up but then the douche left. I can only assume he didn't want to play with me. It's the only thing I can say today because it's all I can think right now. I'm super drunk because I'm at my employer's xmas party, I'm so sorry 😟☹️
Was it by any chance a lousy loser going by the name of lorbas74? Cuz it sounds a lot like him
BEs are crutches. FEs are crutches. TBs are crutches. Nukes are crutches. Weapons are crutches. Powers are crutches. Punches are crutches, too. If you can't headbutt your way to Full Extraction, you are a worthless pyjak, a disgrace to the pack.

Sit back n relax
So far I've assigned nicknames to the players who're habitually playing a certain style, a certain class. They never change.
When you see the host who loves to play geth; don't worry, his missiles will do all the work. Go sightsee around the map.
When you see the salarian infil; don't worry, he'll nick every mob with the blackwidow. Go sightsee and sit on your posterior, he'll do all the work.
When you see the batarian vanguard who's always playing the same map against Reapers. Don't sightsee, work with him. He just loves Reapers so forgive him for his fetish.

That's him!!! Holy cow so you've bumped into him before as well? Yeah I got no idea what is up with him. I don't think he seems to like me for some reason. He totally seems like a butthurt scrub who can't just simply play the damn game
