Incompetence.. why didnt try to kick that one guy/gal with ~200 Apex with his a8I and katana I on silver apex with dampened weapons.. I tried that fucking mission two times.. both we hat 1 and 1 people in with around 200 apex and low level common weapons for a mission who played soldier type characters instead of something more kitted out for splosions... I left both time in the 4th wave because, of course, those people spent the most time rather dead and its not fun to rez them all he time just because they are to lazy to read the modifiers.. I've been getting quite a few of those lately, too (newbs in silver/gold matches, completely unprepared. Someone with an Apex score of zero brought a level 1 soldier into a silver match with dampened weapons. That's one of the downsides of this whole Apex mission thing - people who don't know any better end up in matches they aren't prepared for. Someone voted to kick that player, but we ended up taking him/her along. S/he did better than I would have expected - went down pretty quickly, but also apparently learned pretty quickly, and didn't need rezzed more than ~ 3-4 times throughout. (Also - just as an aside - Apex rating can be deceiving. Mine is north of 5,000 atm, but I still suck.) In other news: TeamworkA very kind person really had my back - W7, and as I was about to be consumed by a teleporting fiend BOOM went the Cobra that saved my ass. If I never have the chance to repay that random stranger's kindness, I'll definitely pay it forward anytime the opportunity arises. Oh, if its just one person its okay, but still if you choose quickmatch it tell you that you should be around lvl 10.. and last time I played with someone,s he brought her level 1 krogan gladiator with us.. it was an X kroglad, but she died a lot.. and that was the game with the 5 destroyers in wave 6 where the other pugs wasted their cobras on a nulli and nobody authorized.. we lost that one because I blew all my 4 healing, 4 autorez and 3 cobras on those destroyers.. so since then I say to myself I take one lowlevel, but two are too much. Yesterday I had one for silver where one guy died a bunch, the last time maybe 18 seconds before extraction.. I rezzed them and we made it.. that was pretty exhilarating at least.. most people dont know that enemies just spawn endlessly as long as that job isn't finished either. |

Kett/Gold. It was pretty much me and this other PUG wiping everything out, and he must've got sync'd on wave 5. I'm playing the Kineticist, and my shields go down. I manage to register 3 kills and Ascend again.
This happens...
Needless to say the other two PUGs couldn't handle it. Smh.

Surprise!
I was trying my Human Infiltrator for a few games (I know theoretically how to play her, practically it's a different story) and during the first 4 waves I had to revive my fellow players 10 times or so. The first objective (deactivate tec) I mostly did on my own. In wave 5 I was sync-killed by a fiend (sneaky bastard, didn't even notice him tbh). Needless to say, I had little hope for the match. But the pugs did really well! Slowly (very slowly!) but steadily, they made it through the wave and in the end, we even got a full extract. Nice little game.
I think it's gonna be the last time I played until my new laptop arrives though. Mine is just not good enough, and ever so often it completely glitches out and I can't to shit... not worth it.

Sneaky
Ran into a random/random lobby while trying to get one more game in to take my HFE to level 20. The host had a Vanquisher equipped, but I thought that might be ok since it wasn't set to Zero/Outlaws. Went to equip an XP booster to take definitely take me over the edge to ensure I get to 20. Noticed they were waiting on me while doing this, so I readied up, only to navigate to the lobby screen just as the counter hit 0 and noticed it had been switched to Zero/Outlaw.
True to form as soon as we loaded in, everyone made a beeline for the corner of shame. I left only to realise that I lost the booster.

epiphany played a gold, silver and bronze match (not with the same kit mind you) to check something and I was right: no matter the difficulty you always get the same points (i.g. a wraith always gives you 165 points) ...   I seriously don't know if I like that concept ... playing at higher difficulties should reward you in EVERY aspect (not "just" creds & xp) ... so basically it doesn't matter with what difficulty setting I grind for challenges (and yeah, inb4: don't whine, suck it up, QQ - I think I just got spoiled by the challenges, point-system and everything else really of ME3  ) (and sorry if this is old news) |

Lagtastic.
Zero/Outlaw with the Asari Sentinel. Everything was going perfectly fine until wave 4. Not quite sure what happened, but I was hit with the worst lag I've ever experienced in this game. I know the other PUGs felt it too because we all of a sudden started dropping like flies every other second. Shit was ridiculous.

Tired... Late last night... I was playing level 9 Asari Sentinel.. I was saying to myself.. wow she is gold worthy even at lvl 9... so let`s play gold games. PuGmates can carry me for once tonight. :sure: 1. Sandstorm / Remnant I ended up scoring top by big margin. Second place lvl 20 Salarian Infiltrator... WTF.. how can you play an infiltrator and let me score 30% more as lvl 9 Asari Sentinel.... The other two players were scrub... although they did revive me twice... so I thank them for that. But the game was way too much work despite my will to be carried for the night.. 2. Zero / Outlaws / Gold Angara Insurgent / Human Engineer / Krogan Engineer / Asari Sentinel Went smooth. Tech combo owned all waves. 3. Same lobby I decided to play one more game /K.Engineer was gone.. Wave 3 objectives, Pizza. We dispersed to do objectives... People start dying left and right. I don`t even know how people with 10000+ Apex rating and playing lvl 19 Angara Insurgent can suck so bad... but they did suck so bad. I delivered 3 pizzas myself and finished objectives. When I finished objectives... they were all permanently dead. I was feeling super tired so I decided to just go to bed early instead of wrapping up the enemies. ..... I was really hoping I could get carried for once.... but I was deadly wrong....  |

Gold\Sanstorm\Kett
Asari duo owned the game. My AsDept was followed by competent AsSent, lots of booms and bursts.
Other two pugs redeemed them selves by finishing off Fiend (wich grabbed us from somewhere), Adcendent and couple of mooks.

Lonely Lone survivor on icebreaker vs. outlaws. All teammates (incl. me) went down literally two seconds before extraction. Only I bothered to hit the revive key button. Just 46.750 $ instead of 55k. When will BW change the reward system? (hint: probably never^^)  |

Headbutts
KroMerc on icebreaker vs. outlaws. Two people I don't remember and another KroMerc whose name I didn't recognize. Many headbutts at the beginning and between waves. It was a nice change of pace after the shameful lack of returned headbutts I got when leveling.

abramsrunner embarrassed everyone and I ran around getting killed, by losing SitAware looking for enemies to kill much too aggressively with a class I can't play for shit yet (L2SitAware?) on the Gold Apex challenge. I don't really like the HuEng, but I was not playing to her strengths as I had no idea what those might be. Looks like Snap-Freeze and small rooms/pinch points is the way to go, so I'll give her another spin. Did much better with HuSent, at much lower level than HuEng (again, I've only as of today become aware of the implications of Snap Freeze). I'm terrible with HuEng in wide-open areas, so focusing on room/halls might make it somewhat better.
Pugs seemed not completely clueless about res-ing and objectives, so can't complain about yesterday. Who knows what horrors tonight will bring?

Silence
Sound cut out during wave one in the latest apex mission vs. kett on magma. That one pug with apex 13k+ continued to die every wave and never bothered to gel, so the pressure was dumped to the rest of the team. No sounds vs. kett is pretty annoying, but somehow I managed to extract with two others. That said apex 13k+ pug did not because NO REVIVE PACKS CAN'T AFFORD MUST BUY UR.
With the changed pity timer, I'm afraid that this will happen a lot more now. Not enough consumables in premiums. Not enough relevant fixes in BW patches.

Invincible. (Fiend)
W6 of silver/kett/sandstorm Apex mission, assassination target was ascendant. A fiend was wandering around distracting everyone, so I pulled out a cobra and went boom. No damage. Repositioned to go back to work on the ascendant, fiend harrassing us again, another cobra - boom - no damage. I was somehow sync-killed, even though I never actually saw it come near me. Then the rest of the team started dropping like flies. Match over.
I really hope I didn't stumble into a new bug introduced with the latest changes.

Lagged to death.
Ran that mission again, and was able to cobra a fiend, so - yay. OTOH, it was hella laggy and had ghosts of dead enemies dotting the map. Good team overall, but to top it all off - although I was standing in the middle of the zone when the timer expired, the follow-up score sheet listed me as not making extraction.
So - the issues I've had in matches tonight combined with what they did to the Expert Packs today, and I think I'm pretty much done with this game for awhile. Time to see what's new on Netflix.

2 types of pugs last night. 1) #HotFixedLag My first initial games after the 'hotfix were just me getting shot from god know where and not being able to move. The most laggy shyte I ever encountered to date in MEA. Nice that I can wear my deluxe sportswear in single player though. All worth it. 2) #KineticistSupremacy. After a few games I said fuck it and hosted myself. Since no one joins my lobbies like... ever, I just started to cheat the priority joining list (muahaha). In any case. Holy shitballs. The kineticist with the shadow (nerf probably incoming  ) and incendiary ammo is THE single most entertaining kit I've played to date. Huge survivalibity? Check. Constant biotic/fire/whateveryouwant-explosions? Check Hot spacebabe? Triple. Goddamn. Check. |
