Hmm I'll have to try this build. Not even sure I have that shotty or those mods.
Played a silver last night with some randoms as my Drell Adept
Was being berated during the match for "doing nothing but reave, scrub" even though I lead all scores by a significant amount (had around 75kish next person was 60ish). As if that weren't enough, I got kicked from the game afterwords! They all 3 voted me out! I really wish EA would find a way to express the fact that individual scores don't matter, it's just if you win or not.

Wuh oh. How is rage bugged?

Some says melee bonus is not applied correctly.
You would be doing the same amount of damge with or without the rage spec
I see, thanks. My friend has been playing Krogan Battlemaster exclusive since he unlocked him. Hopefully they patch it soon.

I played with a Drell Adept last night carrying a Striker AR and a Javelin... I wish I could have seen him use Reave even once... needless to say he was absolutely horrible, but amazed that he moved so quickly carrying such heavy weapons

It's a killer setup. Im still only a level 18 infiltrator so I've yet to put Hunter mode or AI at level 6, plus my Claymore is only a level 1

Why claymore over Geth Plasma Shotgun?
No travel time, less affected by lag.

IDK. I've read that the Claymore is a beast (and it is) so I've never tried the GPS with this setup.

Gross. If you've played enough to have those two guns you would think he'd realize theres absolutely no benefit. At that point he's just a squishy, crappy sniper with 3 grenades.
I really would like to do a 4 person Drell Adept run where everyone just reaves. I feel like it'd be pretty devastating. It sounds implausible but I can hit most anything with 2-3 reaves and it'll be down before it runs out.
GPS has issues with travel time and acts wonky sometimes. Even though its lighter, it doesn't have the one shot fuckyocouch ability of the Claymore. Also, its my belief that the Claymore's range is VASTLY underestimated. The choke is completely unnecessary. Barrel + Shredder all day.
Plus people tend to get in the habit of dancing around a lot with the GPS and not remember how squishy Hunter Mode makes you. Once you get the reload tricks down, its gravy.

I was playing Justicar and really wanted to just combo explode everything but he apparently couldn't grasp the idea.
So instead I just ran around Reaving everything and topping everyone else's scores without even trying haha. Oh man... the randoms we play with

no kidding. the other night the bugginess of the single player game pissed me off and i decided to jump into multiplayer again... and get even more bugs.
fucking PATCH the game already. i don't remember the last time i played a game this messed up.
if you're wondering what bugs i'm talking about; i encountered an indestructible turret in single player and couldn't proceed. i tried everything and just could not destroy the fucking turret. at first i didn't realize it was a bug stopping me from proceeding so i went around the level for like 10-20 minutes trying to figure out where to go. pissed me off.
and in the multiplayer i'm getting this weird, highly annoying droning sound that just lasts forever. drives me NUTS. not to mention all the times my reviving doesn't work and our team fails. ARGH. also i couldn't buy any packs for some reason, tried for ages and nothing.. get nothing but errors.
you'd think an "AAA" release would be of higher quality, really. shamefully buggy game at least on PS3.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought my friends and I were just awful or it was lag or something.
I'd be nice to get past the start menu at this point.

i had the opposite. I played a game about an hour ago where i was a drell adept, and i was with 2 x krogan vanguards and a krogan soldier. it was great.
without a mic, there was excellent understanding. i would reave a group, they would bumrush in and wipe EVERYTHING out. Same as an atlus, reave then BOOM. Really good team dynamic.
Also, in a closed room, i would reave then cluster grenade then they would clean up the rest. was a fun game for sure.
Guess i should be glad randoms dont talk at all on PC, except in very rare cases.
Just tried the Geth Plasma SMG, and this thing is nice. Shoots so fast and weight barely nothing, even my "caster" classes can use it with a pistol without losing much cooldown at all with the mod that reduce weight.

Operation EXORCIST is announced:
Community Goal: Kill 1,000,000 Phantoms
Squad Goal: Survive any map/enemy type on Gold.

Stoked! I'm going to fight the good fight and resist the urge to do Firebase White/Geth.
It would have been hilarious if they said complete any Map/Enemy type on gold EXCEPT for Firebase White/Geth.

High level character, good weapons/equipment, good teammates, and good teamwork.
It's really not all that difficult if you've got at least a few of the things I mentioned. Probably the most important is good teammates. If some idiot gets himself killed, it can put a lot of pressure on the rest of the squad.
Gold with Geth on Firebase White camping behind the desks in the corner of the map is the easiest method.

whaaat..? what version?
my PS3 version ALWAYS struggles to load the multiplayer menu... sometimes it can take a minute or two before i can even move in the menu, lol. i can see the menu and all, just can't do anything.
all the bugginess sucks so much, almost ruins the otherwise amazing multiplayer.. such a shame. they didn't think it would be worth it to spend maybe a couple extra weeks polishing simple things like menus and making sure reviving works?

only for pc and 360 again... WTF is going on?
I use my level 20 Salarian engineer with a level 1 Carnifex. Spamming energy drain and incinerate on everything. I almost always lead the team and win on bronze (especially against geth). This usually takes 20 minutes and gets me ~18000 credits. I dont know what else to do. I cant seem to win on silver. Forget about gold.
Maybe I just need to play with friends / competent people.

Lots of good PC players here that would team up with you

Do they say no PS3 again?
My PS3 multiplayer menu takes forever to load as well!
How many are in an operation on average? Five? If we assume an operation takes twenty minutes on average.. then that's 928, let's say a thousand operations going on simultaneously for all that time. Is that a lot or very little?
Do they say no PS3 again?
360/PC only.
Well I suppose if you do 5 a match (bronze has way less but yeah, gold more) at 20 minutes each = 15 an hour. So 15 x 72 = 1080 an hour on average. So that means to hit 1,000,000 you would have to have 926 matches being played simultaneously for the entire length of the challenge?
Seems like a crapload but I know not what a typical days match load is
Maybe five in bronze, but more like thirty in gold.

I was playing a match and it's literally 6 seconds left on the last round till the game is over and my freaking Xbox just decided to freeze.

Im never going to public chat with players again. I thought i would cos someone asked me to. they were 14yo kids...i cant play like this.
they asked where i live, i said Dubai, they asked "do you speak Indian then?"
Then they were yelling after every kill saying how they are the best etc...not gonna bother.
