***Your Last Pug in One Word- v2 Andropugs!***

Not my pic, but this is the Astrox one, fighting them can be a PITA because they have insane HP, spam missiles, and constantly spawn reinforcements.



Will have to take a screenshot of the Rebel Galaxy one as I couldn't find one.

Well, I think it was either hax or bugz (so dunno if reproducible): for one, I could spam my powers and on top of that, I got sort of a second boost with each jump, making my character go at least twice as high (perhaps more; you can see it in the grenade-screenshot, which was made after one vertical jump). So, yes, I could get anywhere on the map. Enemies weren't paying attention to me at all while I was out there...

As promised, despite an evening of cursing Microsoft, Sony, Bluetooth, and COmputers in General, I found the time to take a screenshot of a Red Devil Cartel base.



Ok, and not to be too far off topic, "Lagquit"

I got four 4-bar host lobbies in a row that were so rubberbandy, I not only rage quit the matches, but the game itself. Game is perfectly playable for me (even on 3 bar hosts) as long as there isn't 4 people in the lobby, but once that fourth one loads in, it's a total shitfest of lag and rubberbanding. (And no, my connection isn't THAT bad, it's just not fibre optics or whatever seems to be expected).

Before that I did have a very enjoyable game on a Silver Apex with the KroMerc, where my headshots were actually registered, popped Kett heads everywhere, it was glorious..... I was hosting

I don't disagree at all. I mostly play MEAMP on Silver (when not doing Apex or Friend matches), and the difficulty varies greatly depending on whether there are high level players around or not (I actually saw someone on Bronze the other day with a Siphon Silhesh Juggernaut). Some matches definitely feel like carrying, and are quite tiresome (and I check to see that it isn't Gold,), others, I have to check it's not Bronze. From my perspective, the real difference for me is how long the match takes, and the frequency of double-bosses.

This arguement was also often had in ME3's MP, where it was muddled even more by the fact that the truly dangerous enemies were more numerous on Silver than Gold, but more deadly on Gold. A lot of players attribute the difference between Silver and Gold there to the pressure applied by sync-killers, but it's the Marauder Death Squads who are always getting the kills. Often times they'll say that they died (to said Death Squad) only because they were running from double banshess, but the truth of the matter is, given 2-3 more seconds, that Death Squad just perfectly flanked and ambushed you, and killed you anyway. Of course, this only applies when you're not a Death Squad yourself, OP players completely trivialize ME3MP.

I started up a Bronze Apex last night (couldn't find any lobbies for it), took my low level Krogan Vanguard, expecting someone to join, and ended up soloing. It was not a pleasant experience, even with a low manifest and low level char, Bronze solos on ME3 can be fun, but the Destroyers (and Nullifiers) were applying a lot more pressure than I was used to for Bronze. Double Destroyers right at the end were incredibly tough (Nimbus isn't exactly my favourite map, either). Boss units in MEAMP are just totally different, and actually dangerous on their own (unlike ME3 boss units). And there's enough of them on Silver (where there's also a lot of mid-tier like Observers which love to flank you) that a Silver match can go sideways into a carry very quickly.

All true, but you forgot:

- And then they made the "glass jaw" modifier.

Low

.. as in level of PUGs and expectations, on silver. Well you can imagine, chaos ensued. Revive, oh f**k I died, ok he died - and so on. Then uploads on another side of map, the 2 low levels camp there, other goes down... HEY GET HIM UP ffs! Nooo... he's dead. He was right next to you! *GRR*

Well, you've seen my scrubbiness, and the only place to go from there is up.

(I wasn't joking about the invisible flames either, it's happened again since then)

game couldn't handle us...

Lonely

Had to solo Bronze Apex again, and because I'm an idiot who clearly hates himself, I ended up doing with a level 1 char. Then I joined some poor bastard who'd just had to solo the first 4 waves of Silver Apex.

Yep, daily tolerance level used up in 1.5 matches, that might just be a record for me.

No I had this bug once before in some other map. I have a hunch it might be something about how long the game .exe has been running.. it was hours already on both times.

Reviveathon!

daily Apex Gold @ Vertigo, took my Exemplar out for some stunning techsplosions, but the 3 PUGs were not up to task at all. Two of them gave up after 3rd wave, but we got 2 new ones... alas they were as bad as the ones who left
I had to run all around the VERY HARD almost no cover Vertigo and revive them more than I could shoot enemies... a bad gold experience in a loooong time.

but then, PutinWithAnimals invited to do some Platinums, and couple of PUGs joined us. They werent bad, we all die in Plat sooner or later, but thats about it mainly. Trashed them, used Finnish Human Female Soldier with PAW+DisruptorII, then changed to Turian Playboy with Roze and Charger Siphon (its my fastest siphon pistol ).

Still have Phalanx to do, its so horrible
