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

Cursing

My connection has gone to total shit, I tried to play 2x PUG, 1x own private lobby and all disconnected. Sigh. Restart of the game seemed to help this time somehow.

Scathane joined my quick run of the night to save a couple of games. The platinum was 1L2L and even though I took Juggz, the host lagged some-1s+ in some cases and I was followed by a Saboteur, who quickly took me out. Next wave I was up for 10s before Ascendant grabbed me and instakilled. Weeeelll.. on wave 5 sound died!

Weird

Not sure why, but found a newish player around 3K Apex, start a Platinum APEX match. Nothing too difficult you would have imagined, and then the moment we got in, as I stealth dashed towards my usual spot on the Ice map to prepare for the first wave, I jumped... and fell as I tried to cut across the map as I normally do. Thought to myself. Laggy match. OK, will need to put extra effort in then, but lets get this done for the new player.

Tried to jump and cut through again, and fell once more. There I thought to myself, either it's REALLY laggy, or the player is playing on a potato. Then I saw the notification the player had been taken down. Then I noticed that everything was slightly accelerated and jumps weren't as high as they normally were (gravity was increased). So at that point I knew that the player was playing with mods on to troll others or forgot to turn them off after dialing up the difficulty in the main SP game. But I knew that lobby wasn't for me.

Saw some others join that group and knew they would need another match to join. So started my own version of that match, and saw the other players who joined jump on over soon after. Smooth sailing throughout the match.

Really, WHY would you run with increased difficulty through mods and hacks to a Platinum match?

Fresh...

New players, on the N7 day! It seems they grabbed the game fast and we had fun rounds, until my connection died again and I flew out from their lobby. I mostly PUGged because friends lobbies were constantly full, but so were the PUG lobbies filling fast. Nice
I stumbled upon hacked lobby with my Australian friend, where we trolled the guy but in the end couldnt make the game fail. His Reegar killed enemy instantly if it even licked weakpoint. Oh well, cant make them fail every time.

WTH

ppl? I dont remember the last time I've been kicked out of lobby -- now I think the caffeine levels started to drop in the players while I changed weapons and chatted quickly... 30 seconds later "Thanks for the games then snail"

Combotastic Gold APEX
I took my Kineticist as I do for every Combotastic game and pugged into another Kineticist. We started the game and at the end of first wave yet another Kineticist joined.
Later on, wave 3 i believe, Huntress joined and ruined all Kineticists run, but despite that we had lots of fun in very fast game with mooks flying around.

I played 4 rounds of Bronze this morning with under 1K PUGs. I enjoyed the rushes with Asari Sentinel (seem to be running her more and more, even though I originally thought very little of her abitilities!) feat. Avenger X Concussive & Ghost X Concussive the machinegunning sounds in the large hall of Nimbus! These guys really put effort to gameplay and it was fun to see the joys of learning how to H.Adept.

After that...


Let them heads be poppin' like its 2899 or something like that 8)

Relaxing Platinum APEX runs on Magma for dailies.

Ive... seen things...
Gold/Remnant/Sandstorm Night - Going like a routine pest control until one of the team crashes/disconnects on end of wave 6 and man something went weird. We got 3 Nullifier groups beaming at us, thankfully I and other PUG had Aegises, but it was tough. Air was filled with Breachers but not but few Assemblers around/alive. They started going like in the picture, jumping up and down hectically for a while too.
We got it done no matter what - the new PUG connected too late / didnt hear countdown bug.

Successful!

Playing and PUGging whole day, after one super laggy game where I couldnt move or actually do anything (also all the players were ones I've never seen before online, but were quite high in rating ), I decided finally do own lobby. Just in time to Scathane to leave
Thankfully some of my friends joined quite soon the Aqua/Platinum/Outlaw I was running at the end of wave 1 with my Asari Huntress survivor
At wave 5 my connection said NO. I screamed and alt-F4, reconnected immediately back by clicking the join in Origin client. I got in! woooo!
In the end we succeeded and I hope the 30k APEX player had fun too as I tried to cloak the player as much as possible

PING!

Lately I've been suffering from bad connection. I find games in 1s but join timeouts. Sigh. Wanna guess what happens to a game in progress? *Sigh*
For the last PUG, here's a couple of pictures before client disconnected again

SHAKING.



1 life 2 live. We tried first with different setup with these PUGs, didnt get further than wave 2. I got angry and took out Elizabeth from her training room. Daymn. Wave 3 of the new setup game, I noticed I was alone - Berserkers, Hydras, everything. ...
was cut down by her. I forgot time and space, the enemies burnt, exploded, singularity exploded, they were suffering from double warps... and I held hack alone first, then with the #2 player for the rest of the hack.
Not that I didnt have to do circling around Derelict when everyone else were down for two waves, but I managed to do it. I account that to adrenaline and half a cup of coffee quaffed before I got "angry"
Landing zone was populated at 0:07. Awesome game.

No better way to celebrate three years of playing... Just reached 200k...
