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

"Husquell that urge to speedrun."

Hosted a match where all Infiltrators joined up, so I switched to MY SI+Claymore. Felt bad for the sniper as we got Glacier/Rippers. But the above mentioned was a Huntress+Talon who definitely laid down the hurt. Everything was going smoothly enough, until the missiles started flying on wave 4 or so. The use wasn't terrible, as it was a clear speedrun attempt. Score padding occurs in objective/later waves. I ran clean up but I don't care for speedruns unless agreed upon. Also, why Gold? Plat will net more exp/creds if that's your goal.

"Silence"

Powerdandy joined and the Inferno Grenades were liberally spread over the Collectors on Rio. My Grenadeless KroSol+Claymore had an easy time detonating Fire 'splosions. Oddly PD wasn't his usual vocal self, staying silent despite not topping the scoreboard.

I changed team, teleported in his place, used my heavy melee and made him stagger in order for him to fall out of the map and respawn at the lz, but nothing, he was stubborn and decided to go in that place again. While shouting on his mic something like "That's stupid, guys" and other gibberish.
Tecdet, tecdet never changes.

"I like this Human! He understands!"





BOOM

Kroguard, Asari Adepts (both kinds) and Claymores (and a Paladin pistole) departed on a Mission on a snowy FB White . Cerberus was in for a bad day when the Claymores started firing and the Biotic and Fire Explosions started. It was wonderful.
Just the late joing Carrier-TGI disapeared early

N7

I landed in a lobby with a couple of BotBs - Paladin host and a Demolisher. A Destroyer dropped in and I switched to a Fury. We got Cerberus on Rio, and came out with 40 Revives logged between three of us. Some smooth waves, some pretty tough ones. Mission Successful though, with the host and myself doing the heavy lifting. Fuck Cerberus.

Trolled

Two UUG out of three turned out to be Condor/Cerberus started both with free slots in the lobby, and nobody could join in either (though many tried... especially during escort objectives) and the reward: three consecutive upgrades for the Argus

If you really want me to quit, game, you can simply refuse to start, no need for this kind of passive-aggressive attitude.


On a more positive note, shout out to docsteely and inert for a string of thoroughly enjoyable matches over the weekend! Invisible primes and raging Reegar VolEng - both in the same match! - nothwistanding, pure bliss

1. Come on, man, we all know that's what happened...

2. Agreed, PD is one heck of a player, especially when he concentrates on the game and less on berating the PUGs.

3. My man, I love the way you think, though IMO for the Krodept the Wraith is the better gun. Remind me to get my scums out next time we play together, 'cuz as Sona says, scums are life...

Defrosting/derusting

Have played and equal amount of entertaining and frustraiting matches with PUGs last week, trying to defrost or derust my fingers after several months' break, simply on LOLsilver (pc manifest anxiety).

Ran into the infamous Monalisa - had to look them up in this PUG thread after my kickvote fest with him/her. Looks like I've gotten the better end of the monalisa stick: he/she has been alone, has even medigelled and has not yelled at me during game. Or, could be that I was blesssed by our mics being somehow incompatible: I can hear many/most people, I think, but mine doesn't work in Origin, either.
I did get a kickvote after our successful duo, and a few other times after pugging into gip. No other problems with him/her, though -- maybe losing his/her sidekick and slumming in Silver has made ML more mellow?

It's nice getting some game time again. I think I'll try to keep this up.

I don't put my minions in gulags just for playing "OP" characters. When they are dicks, ingore objetcives, scorewhore on purpose etc. cheat (teleport camping on Hydra for example) - that deserves a gulag
Man, you're so a demanding If we played your version of ME 3, infiltrators, grenades, power based krogans, Javelin, Black Widow, Reegar, Wraith, Incendiary ammo and so on, would be perma banned from the game.

Personally I don't mind people bringing so called "OP" characters to a gold match. It's their choice, their preference. Maybe that's what makes their game more fun, and why would I deny people to have that opportunity? Hell, sometimes, after a hard day, I like to bring something strong to gold, and kick some stuff, for relaxation. Maybe some people don't enjoy platinum, so why should they leave their top tier gear, character at home? It's just a game, an old one on top of that. If they don't play platinum where should they use that gear? I don't understand that mindset. If someone wants to play AIU/Reegar, fine, go and have fun. Sometimes I may be angry at flamer trooper while I'm trying to snipe, but in the end it's just a game. You can't expect random people to adjust their playstyle to your preference I believe that many people (in general) that complains about OP kits on gold, silver etc. are just butthurt coz their epeen does not allow them to finish the game in 2nd place That's my impression. Wanna play your way, why not team up with some buddies and go to town with Shurikens?

That being said, I'm down for playing some shitty weapons games in the future I should show some love to Locust or Incisor lol


Welp.. I'm glad? / sad? to say that you've met some famous people from my country. According to N7HQ, Monalisa is 3rd person in my country, with highest CP rank. Biala_Kawa (White_Coffee) is right behind him At least I'm glad your game was somewhat bearable?

EDIT: OP
Here's a pic from my last pug. It's like a dreams come true, right Inert?

Rusty.

Hadn't played ME3MP in a year and a half, but suddenly became nostalgic for it. Coming back really hammers home what a great mode it is. The variety of the playstyles, the humor, the booms... ME3MP forever

This is where I'm a jerk and I differ a little. If it's alive and in front of me I'm going to kill it; idgaf about what the other players are trying to do

Lookout, Tecdet may want you to fly to the Bronx where he lives to fight him in real life. Oh yeah! "YOU NO PLAY NO LIKE RAMBO!" 

The players I refer to are not new. For example, an AIU with a Reegar III with no piercing is not a problem. But a Warp/Incendiary Reegar X AVS on Gold? Come on. Granted a player can knock themselves out, but personally I wouldn't take advantage of such broken elements even on platinum. I'm allowed to judge (and avoid that player) just as much as they're allowed to pick that kit.



You mean Locust-wielding Turian?

I do love the Claymore, but I find it isn't quite OP in most instances. For example the Claymore on a Turian is a step down in DPS from the Raider, Wraith, Hurricane, Harrier, etc. I also think it works Lore-wise as Turians are trained military and with Marksman to boot. They're tougher than humans and I figure they could handle the weapon. If anything, my Claymore HSol doesn't make sense. Although I prefer not to bring him out on Gold unless the curry is expected, and even then it'll be lower level consumables. Same is true of the Sal Infi, but I rarely play as Infiltrators.
