N7HQ Stories (And Tales). Your Analysis is Welcome. Self or Otherwise!

also i have been fighting and holding the line a lot too much lately. i ll take a break. Stupidely, i m grinding CP, wtf is wrong with me.

Came here to check if i havent been around the 300th spot for a year or two like it felt i was. but no.

I m not sure grinding is the right word for exhausting RNG gods or playing thousands of waves now i checked the dictionary. But maybe

Oooh.... a metric?

Huh, this is a great question! I bet mine is lower than that. <fumbles through the internet> it is!

83. I don't have any method to the grinding, so what I do you can't really call grinding because I am not trying to be efficient about it. When I see one of the challenges getting close, I grind that challenge specifically, but I have never tried to maximize it like some of the more dedicated grinders have.

You see kids, this is how you fool yourself into making this much of a time sink in your life, seem like it is ok. Just lie to yourself!

This is quite satisfying:
Another 'weapon mastery' higher than the stupidest thing about ME3MP.



As of now, only Sniper mastery (x50) in the 'weapons' tab is lower than the mastery related to the dumbest design in ME3. Hopefully soon, it will also be higher!

I really like melee and it wouldn't surprise me if around half of my games played in the recent past are melee focused.
And I am a grabaholic. 😇

As for CP/hr, it's 134.

That s another level, do you play most your game with CP strategy in mind ? Since forever ?
I dont think i m close to that even if i focus fully on CP.

I just closed a 15h MP period over the last month, and i scored 220-250 CP/hour with the focus on scoring CP most of the games. (i just closed map mastery, so 220 without it and 250 with it)
It s far more than what i thought, but i closed a whole bunch of gold games (after getting a challenge closed) with "endcurrentwave", and closed them cause i was alone ! So i guess i kinda cheated one solo mastery on the way but not more cause i often get a temporary team . Not a big difference. I now "disconnect" instead. Bad rage habit i took, i blame geth

yeah I mean to each their own, but I personally find Phantoms and Turrets and Dragoon bullshit to be less obnoxious than getting stuck in those fucking Collector webs or seeker swarms. Also, I play on ps3, so any given game vs Collectors has a non-trivial chance of bricking my console. 

C'ming for you OP

Okay, this will be a series of passive aggressive posts of my looking up the N7HQ's of people I've played with recently on (yet another) alt.

So first I'll add the disclaimer: "it's your game, play it any way you want". But that ain't gonna stop me from commenting with a little eye rolling and 'ing
[I'll default to "him", though I have no idea what gender]

Today's entry: StarofMystery
I joined 4 of his games today, all set to White/Geth/Silver. In all he used Quarian Marksman and spammed Sabotage + AR shots. In each, he'd exit after game. And, apparently, just reset to same thing. I assumed he wants the extra CP early on but appreciates the assist late match?
So, I looked him up.

2514 hours played
Never completed Biotic Mastery (6/14)
On Aliens tab, only completed Machine Mastery.
Cerberus/Reaper completed 2x, Collector 1x, Geth ... ONE HUNDRED THIRTY TIMES. So ... yeah.
Likes his AR's (17 Mastery's, SR is the only other >1 at 3)

There are two types of players: Those who play all the characters (some of which only to get BotB), and those who just keep playing the ones they like, over and over and over. Obviously, easier to notice the latter.
