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

Juicy

Late last night I went pugging with my Huntress, Cerbs/Reactor/G, played with some Turians, and got my Spectre Mastery. It felt especially juicy 'n' sweet, as the last points rolled in after listening a Phantom whine and moan from dark channel.

****
Also this happened in another match to a Volguard - Volus was so fluid that s/he oozed through the metal grates on Jade floor. Poor guy was apparently dangling by his breather!
 We all just gawked there amused for a bit, while the Volus' KroGuard friend tried to revive a few times until it finally worked. The volus actually didn't respawn on LZ, but instead just continued rolling around from that spot.

As one of the most vocal critics of the Reegar, even I will admit to using it on Quarians without (much) shame (occasionally, for CP). Melee QFI would be a favourite, and bearing in mind that BSN wisdom allows that pretty much anything goes on Plat, the QME is devastating with it. 

Paladin.

I ran into two decent sets of pugs and finished off the night with a triple Paladin run on Reactor Hazard against Collectors. The host and I ran a bit rampant but the third guy earned my respect too by joining in with triple fire shield melees between waves. Boink! 

Tried to find a Gold for five minutes, gave up and looked for Silver for five minutes before giving up and starting solo and getting Collectors (also... boned.)

After some fiddling about I finally landed in a pre-set Geth Gold lobby, so I grabbed the KroLord and beat machines into whatever the machine equivalent of "pulp" is. >8)

That's a fucking big swarmer :ulikeit:

Yep, I can vouch for that. I felt so bad when I had to leave you guys. During the last game I was trying to end things quickly due to rl issues. I was throwing myself into many stupid situations. Like some sort of scorewhore But overall very nice games indeed.

So today I had a small pug session. Gotta check how my minions are doing in this cruel world which Puggerlands can be. I'm glad to say - not half bad. Yes, I bumped into Happy Cate and Budhalen. But our host was very good. I think he was called plibnik or similar. We played a couple of games, even platinum wasn't an issue. So definitely I'll have only positive memories from that session.

Later on I was invited by my friends (which I've met in Puggerlands a couple of months ago ) N7-ME3-4ever and Chris1602B. If you ever bump into them, give them a shoutout. They are very nice guys and good players. Although I think they only play platinum.. nevermind

So we were having a nice infiltrator trio on London vs. Bugz (Inert would love to play with 3 infiltrators haha), and we were joined by AIU/Reegar during later waves. So nothing unusual here. S/he died a couple of times, but never nuked a single spawn, so it was a nice surprise.

Then s/he changed kit to GI/Black Widow. Huh, so now you're taking things seriously. Very well. - I thought. I assumed that earlier AIU was just his/her insurance, because pugging platinum is a high risk The rest of us took Paladin, Volus Engie and Havoc/Striker for a spin. We got Jade/Reapers, so could've been worse, right? Everything was going smooth, without any trouble. Objectives on wave 3 and 6 were very kind - 2 short escorts. Our GI had a solid pts lead, so you can imagine how I was raising my eyebrows when this PUG started nuking spawns during W10 escort I think he participated for just a couple of seconds, near the destination. I don't understand, why. Yes, I closed the gap, but not by much. He still had like 30k lead. Welp, as they say - karma hit that one pretty hard during the extraction. And she had a shape of this lady



Some of eagle-eyed viewers may notice a small detail



Okay, now I have to admit. I was a dick and when I saw that s/he was about to get grabbed, I watched it and turned away. I could've easly use a missile there. But s/he almost jeopardized the mission with his/her incompetence and lust for score

I guess my gulags are going to have a new member after this day

I´ve played most of my ME3mp time with them. Lots of good and fun memories over years. Both are really good players and especially excellent team players. First one is having his third ME3 account going so there is some dedication for you. Just saying hi and thumbs up to both of you eng59land and Cchris1602B.

"I'm so sorry".
Bumped into MPApr2012 and andy_3_913   just now - and scrubbed both games badly.
The first game was... Something. I've never seen teleporting geth before, and my Geth Scanner (yes, I'm trying to eat that cactus anyway) would show exactly that. Even my in-game console refused to work (probably because of so many keyboard layouts I have), so I couldn't even tell MPApr2012 that I was a bit confused there. Of all my consumables only medi-gel would still work reliably (unlike missiles - I couldn't seem to be able switch to that effing launcher - and Ops Packs, which would just make my corpse shine bright like a diamond). Just add in my overall low skill (and getting used to the character I can't really play well, despite liking him) - and there you go, one more decoy on your team. The other two guys didn't seem to be helpful either. I'm really sorry I was of no help and made things even worse.
As for the game with andy_3_913 ...
Got sync-killed on a ramp, because I didn't watch my barriers I forgot that a ramp is NOT a friend if it's not a steep one and sync-kill units can stand on the same level with you. And I wasn't careful enough overall, so got dropped a lot by Ravagers and Marauders.
What a shame. I should stick to soloing Bronze, in fact.
Really sorry for that mess, guys.　

I'm beginning to regret challenging you and me to play on his host someday Responder Loadout V here I come

I used it ALL in two (?) waves - and those two sorry rockets I did manage to pull out.

Actually, NZ is not that far away from me - I mean, I'm in Japan, and it should take only some 14 hours by plane to get there, so... But yeah, it was kinda hard - and it could be damn funny at the same time if I didn't want to curl up under my kotatsu and die in shame.

Nah, this is DECENT. It looks like the game I usually play off-host - and this one is really not bad, I must say. You hardly got any rubber-banding there, you could take cover, and it took the game only some ms to register a shotgun kill. I usually get things way worse than those.
Don't ask me why I don't quit those games immediately though

Awoo? O.o*

Our story begins with one of those seemingly irrelevant facts whose significance only becomes clear at the end of the story: When I "quickmatched" I ended up hosting a lobby with one other player, something that used to happen rarely, then occasionally, but is nowadays quite common.

After a few minutes, I decided to trust that the Vorcha Soldier knew what he was doing and started a duo. It worked out, because it was hazard ghost and I was using a BW Drell Assassin, so even the fact that it was Cerberus wasn't likely to ruin my day.

At this point, our story pauses for one of those actually irrelevant details, which is that one of the two players who joined us in progress was blasting music over their mic for about a minute before they actually loaded in. My first bout of confusion was trying to figure out how muting the other two players in the game had failed to resolve the issue. Luckily, my two non-irritating companions revived me three times while I kept trying to mute the culprit.

The culprit, by the way, was using a melee juggernaut and on top of that he sucked!

Since everyone else was good, the game went quite smoothly except for a recurring problem I was having...

For some weird reason, my Phantom headshots were not killing them. In fact, on average, it was taking me at least 4 shots to kill one, and frequently more. It seemed to get worse as the game went on (it did not, it simply became more noticeable as the number of Phantoms running around per wave increased.)

Eventually, I remembered that due to a fluke of matchmaking, I was actually hosting, and therefore was only doing about 10% damage to the Phantoms. Normally, if I host, I switch to Shadow to take advantage of no lag, and Phantoms are exceptionally easy to deal if we get Cerberus. I had totally forgotten that Phantoms were a nightmare on host because of how long it had been since I'd actually done it without Shadow Strike.
