*** The Things Pugs Say ***

I landed in a modded game yesterday with xxxXXX*****XXXxxx TGI hosting and doing the job. THe guy was listening to metal it seems or the other pug, i could have heard more spectating, it was kinda cool.
Crazy buffed abos at 10* speed and higher detonation, hordes of them , and other stuff, maybe diamond ? I dont remember how diamond goes.

I don't know what's being discussed, at this point I'm just liking the post because of the avatar.

I don't know whether to cry, laugh, commit sepuku or get institutionalized.

Ooh me next!

*Hurries to use a wider variety of characters to avoid Apry eviscerating my entire ME3 career*

Spent some time looking at your profile however my laptop in its wisdom has decided that hibernating or sleeping is for wusses and went forced shutdown once it ran out of juice instead killing all my notes I’ve made in Notepad. Lessons learned, using Word and saving often for this one. Sadly, this means more of a bullet point list and not a narrative now.

First, your profile is saying that you’re more active than you’re attempting to make us to believe And this is great news, both for us here and for the PS3 ME3MP community at large.

Oh and the full disclosure on my remarks. Considering you’re one of us there will the inevitable bias and more leeway, as well as referencing what you’ve shared around here already. I will try keeping that in check.

General

- For the amount of time spent on the manifest the Challenge Points are on the lower end. This puzzles me a little bit since quite a few BSNers’ profiles show this trend too.
- Not a completionist/OCD either. Quite a few silver stars still dimmed. Will touch on that later.
- Unclear if you’d started this manifest late or have you just ignored the weekly challenges. Doesn’t have much bearing on anything, just an observation.
- A very clear preference for Gold with Platinum being along the “if I must” lines. Nothing to indicate any particular patterns around Platinum gameplay. Platinum White waves display quite a bit of a skew, but I think the reason will be covered next.
- An accomplished (if somewhat reluctant with just 2 completions) Lone Wolf including a non-cheese Platinum Solo. Took quite a bit of effort and a few attempts to get that one covered on the aforementioned White judging by the number of waves completed.
- Your N7 Mastery, and your N7 rank, are stuck/buggered. At the rank of 1950 (1920 is the number needed for the Mastery btw ) and 61 promotions, there should be 1/6 progress in the first tier challenge. There isn’t.
- Promotions wise, Sentinels are outlier with the least promotions. I suspect the lovely Valkyrie is the culprit there hehe. She ain’t got no time for that levelling crap.
- Not much to say about the map preferences overall. The only anomaly that had me scratching my head is that some of the Earth DLC maps are on the lower end. Almost had me speculating on either a break around that time, or a more recent manifest roll, or just general disdain for those maps (all the other DLCs are within expected margins). Seems a tad high for a pure RNG crap.

- Biotics/Tech Mastery. Here we have a competent Biotics Specialist considering the overall Challenge Points progression. If anything of somewhat of the Classic/Vanilla leanings. Biotics to Tech ratio is just one mastery shy of the healthy 2:1 ratio. A couple of notable observations:
        • I’m getting feel for the first timethat AJA is not the most favourite blueberry, or is specced out of Pull
        • Biotic Slash. Not even once. Lol. The Slayer is making it onto another one on the can’t be bothered list it seems
        • Same pattern with the Barrier. Strange, this one is more of a BSN signature. Although I admittedly am the same, think only got it for a tick in the box

A few of the done “just once” as well, which fits well with the Classic school. Tech wise, a somewhat smoother performance across the board. With the Hex Shield and the Electric Hammer not getting any air time hehe

Aliens

    - One cannot ignore the fact that the Council Mastery in the very clear lead in this category, The Asari (haven’t expect any less from a fellow Asari connoisseur) and the Turians are pulling        their weight here. We have the confirmation here that the AJA is indeed is the least favourite Asari, so are the jetpack Turians. docsteely would be sad to learn that the Cabal hasn’t got        enough attention to get waves completed even once. On a personal note, the fact that she sounds like a badly hungover blueberry is one of the reason she doesn’t get out much.
    - Right, on to the others
        • I have to know what’s that you don’t like so much about the Kroguard not to have his _extractions_ completed?? You don’t have to run with the Reetard you know, would give            you enough opportunity to knock those Barrier points off though.
        • Vorcha Soldier is another one missing out, Patpat probably would have something to say/yell about that. Still, that’s yet another silver star missing out.
        • N7 characters ain’t getting much love except the Destroyer. Kinda understandable, but come on, Fury. Yes, a Valkyrie wannabee, but just one completion. She can be fun, especially           with the Graal. Mordokai, pls. Also Ms. Cargopants, you really better be wary of pineapples flying around by now.
        • …I’m not going to mention Volus Adept, like, at all. Cause, reasons. I’ll leave it until the time we manage to drag you into running the N7 series.
        • But the BatSent/Shaman waves/extractions. WTF. That’s it dude, I’m reporting this to GruntKitterhand . I believe there’s a conversation to be had there. Just doing my part. Because            that’s unacceptable.
        • And speaking of reporting, and the “unacceptable”… Your Quarksman, QFI. I know Blueberries are the best, but still give the suitrats a chance. They ain’t half bad. Also, what’s with           the Geth Trooper?? You know you can specc out of Flamer, right? You clearly had the time for fondling the Juggs, but the GT nononopers… Sheesh.
        • The Nutpuncher?? And only a 100 waves?? Seriously? I’m dreading what’s next.


        • Well. Well, here you redeemed yourself. Quite. The literally 2 (as in TWO, as in One and then just One more) _waves_ with the Talon …I actually snorted when I saw that. Good on            ya. A nice finishing note here.

Weapons

So, onto the weapons. Not much in the way of surprises from a BSNer when it comes to the actual weapons masteries, with the Street Sweeper in the lead like it should be. Could not help but laugh at your Claymoar completions. The glitch is clearly working. I do find it quite fitting considering we’re talking the High Lord here

Also. The Shuriken’s zero completions. Lol. Oh wait, let me tell you about one really neat challenge that you may use to quickly roll that challenge over if you wish!!

Enemies Factions.

Dude. The Carebears?? Your favourite?? Of all factions… Sigh. I… I salute you and the others equally as mad. Yes, sorry I’m trying to push this out tonight.

Builds.

I only had a cursory look at your adepts, unofrtunately it’s getting late now. Most seem solid and sound (no 66666 quite prevalent with them reddit experts ), the only thing thought I’d raise is your FHA’s warp. You got recharge speed on the 6th evolution.

I do want to commend you on the Slow evolution of the Dark Channel. But also go “whyyyy?” on the Stasis recharge speed 

Right. That’s me.

If I may, I’ll skip the conclusion this time considering we’re talking a BSNer here. And we’re all scrubs in the end. So I’m looking forward to continuing our discussions with in our builds/strategies/mechanics matters as well as the general shitpostery.


out of time tonight but will give it a go tomorrow. Qui-Gon GlenN7 has tried to get the idea of N7HQ self reflection off the ground on reddit after he was banned here, did not go anywhere sadly

But it wouldn't be as entertaining as when you do it!

Yeah I missed all those weekend challenges with the special banners too. 

yeah I would have loved to have been able to participate, I'm sure they were fun in sort of a similar way to the community challenges (N7 series, Tiers of Neufchatel, etc). Unfortunately I didn't have internet the place I was living when ME3 came out, and only got to play online at friends places, until I moved and got internet about a year or so later. But by then it was too late.

This is crazy to hear, especially by that point. Was it voluntary or remote to the point getting internet was pointless because, shit, I think we had fiber at my parent's house back in like 05/06.

I started with the multiplayer a couple of weeks before release when they did the pre-test or whatever it was - the only maps were Ghost and White (the old version).  Loved it right from the off.  Played for a long time, stopped a bit and now back every now and again for a bit of nostalgia Derperus stompin'.  I have an embarrassing number of hours recorded in game.  I got nearly all the banners - except the impossible ones.  Also: still a crap player ... but I don't care.
