Multiplayer is incredibly broken

Devices bug is seriously "lol".

Just failed the wave because of it. It would have been funny but could have done with the credits.

The only broken thing is the directional audio. Literally everything else can be user fixed so really if the game is broken for you then you aren't taking any steps to reduce the issues you are receiving. Most of said steps are to just stop pugging. If you are serious enough about the game to put effort into making posts on BSN complaining, you are serious enough to find 3 of the literally thousands of people who are playing at any given moment. Join the discord, look up LFG threads across the internet, use your own damn initiative instead of just whining about biowares netcode because if its not gotten better in 5 years then its not going to make a sudden start now.

No, just no. I quit pugging only when I'm dead like dead and completely dead. Pugging is fun and pugging is life, pugging is forever. By the time you are done with the game, I'm only starting to get really engaged, learn things and understand how it works. So, just please stop preaching that nonsense here, we got enough of your BS in DAIMP forums. Go make some nice video about game mechanics instead, that will be highly appreciated. And you are very good at these things.

Well good news, its possible to host your own pug lobby! Pugging isn't fun when you rubberband everywhere and the only permanent solution is to always host or play with friends. If you don't want to do that then more power to you, but don't then come and whine on the forums that you are having connection issues. 

there are numerous reports of host lag and time dilation. i suspect the only solution is tho play with friends, actually..

Pug and rubberband, or host and have time dilation.

I'll just stick to ME3MP.

Now, you are being rude trying to shut up people. This is not your private forum and I do what I please as long as mods/admins permit it. So, please behave and be nice, there is no enemies here. Go shoot some bad guys in a game or whatever, chill out.

Ok guys, lets chill the fuck out.

And remember that...

Battered wife syndrome.

I would disagree.  I have experienced the exact same thing in ME3 MP as in MEA MP.  Though it rarely happens in either for me.  From my experience, it is because of a bad host or bad connection. 

I did run into the dirrectional audio bug several times though.   And a VERY annoying amount of open mics, and even one person yelling bible verses into his mic the whole mission.

The thing is even with good hosts (no rubberbanding) I managed to get 3/4 of one device done with 7 or so interupts and the last 1/4 is impossible to do. That was the main reason I failed couple pub matches on bronze and silver because I was the only one doing the objectives while they were shooting at everything that moved while the time ran out :/

I don't remember this BS in ME3MP.

Please tell me it was IAI20120312???

That would have been sweet!
