Why are there so many pathetic losers on the MP?! OH NOEZ, someone else is using the same class that I'm using, so I'm not going to press the ready button until that someone change his class. What a loser. Let the guy play whatever he wants to play. If you don't like it then change your own class or exit the lobby. Don't make the rest of us wait because of your petty need to be the one who gets to decide everything.

Even worse are the crybabies who left halfway through the game because they're not no.1 on the ranking list. Fucking pathetic.

Too many games now are ruined by people like that, rage quitters, leavers, idlers, people who moan because you chose their class (I see this a lot in super MNC) it's annoying as fuck!

Seriously? I never ever see that. Once in a while there might be 1 guy who leave, but since people barely talk in this game(i suppose because we're used to using text chat and it doesnt exist in ME3), we never know the reason. That's it.

Should i consider myself blessed by playing on PC? Can other PC players confirm that they also never see such things?

 

[Live Free or Die]

Yeah it sucks when people quit for stupid reasons. I've seen people quit on wave 1 just because they got downed. o_0

I've seen a couple quit at wave 7 or 9 after being downed. :s Guess they didn't want the cash or XP.

Wow, lol. They must not. Only time I ever quit a match was when I ran into that bug when the last enemy becomes invincible. :/ I got a video of that. I should upload it.

EDIT: Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCpeIU6eJD8

The game was going good until we ran into that stupid bug.

Sorry for the quality. It was recorded on a Roxio Game Capture.

 

[Divvy]

I see stupid vanguards who charge into battle on gold, try to melee a mob but end up dying. This happens for a few rounds and then they quit. Honestly Vanguards are almost more trouble than they are worth at this point.

I fucking hate those guys, who apparently are just incapable of setting the consumables BEFORE entering the lobby. It can't be that hard to set them beforehand.

Is it Vanguard or Krogan or both that's more the problem? I think classes/species that are encouraged to do short-distance melee or attack like the Krogan, Batarian (mostly due to Falcon Punch ability) and now Vorcha (due to its flamer ability) are in danger of killing themselves stupid. It's especially worse when they die and expect others to resurrect them even though they are far far away and we're being surrounded by enemies from all over the place. Then if we can't resurrect them in time they sulk and leave the game.

 

[Mindlog]

Getting a little weary of hearing that I'm being wasteful with medi-gel. I've played long enough to know when to use what and I'm primarily concerned with clear time these days. Extraction is largely a given.

I ran into another Field General that complained when a teammate generously used a Cobra to kill 1 Brute. He was punching an extract hole. Just for stupid giggles I fired 4 more Cobras at the dead Brute.

It sucks to have your consumables ready and then join a game in-progress. I only set gear before entering a game.

If it happens again just get him to hop over various covers in both directions or cast stasis on him.

 

[Melchiah]

Well, I can understand that, but I can't understand how setting them up can take minutes for some people.

BTW, one of the most annoying things is, when the game gives you a match of other difficulty level than you were seeking, or when the leader changes the settings between the matches.

 

[DY_nasty]

I'm guilty of that.

I sometimes start a bronze lobby to test a new a class or something. After that first run, I hop it to Silver. Gold after two or three of those.

The thing I've noticed is that a lot of people don't think they can handle Bronze or Silver when they can. IMO, if you're scared of Gold - you're already better than most. I see way too many people try to melee pryos like they're the shit...

 

[Rad Agast]

Would you guys PLEASE stop wondering or asking the Krysae to be nerf down? It's fine as it is now. You actually kill enemies faster anyway if you aim precisely instead of just throwing the bullets all over the place.

My Infiltrators kill every thing with TC on so no big deal. The gun teaches bad habits though. If Bioware fixes the bullet size it would at least help people learn how to aim better. The new matchmaking system exposes farmers and I really am baffled when two snipers holding out at a check point can't keep stuff from passing through them.

Here's a nice vid of the other screwed up gun in the game: http://youtu.be/RkJ263Yo_HI

I was going to try that but, he was following around the other guys. I was trying to get the other guys to lead him over to that desk but it didn't work. lol Probably would've help if I had my mic on.

It's annoying if you don't notice the change until the match starts. I usually play Bronze, sometimes Silver if I have a suitable character specced up. I've played Gold only a couple of times (White/Geth), and didn't really find it that fun staying in the same room for the whole match.

Never wanted to try Gold with close encounter type of classes, I've only played it with Turian Sentinel and Asari Justicar (with defensive bubble) so far. Three successes, one fail.

It's mostly the Krogan Vanguards true, they think their hot shit then when they naturally get their asses kicked by pyros or banshees or whatever, they rage quit instead of playing more conservatively.

Jesus that is some bullshit. Hope that gets nerfed soon.

 

[Dreamer RD]

They really adjusted players joining based on N7 rating? After that fucking patch I can barely collect 1-2 players (currently 1573 rating) and it takes too much time (PS3)

After the patch, I'm noticing the exact opposite. Since I'm rank N7 39, I always used to get paired up with 10-50's and now I usually get paired up with a mix of 100-1000's. It's nice to finally play with competent players at least half the time. And how do you rank up? I've been stuck at rank 39 for the longest and I can hang with high level players no problem.

 

[sweetvar26]

Alright, I have 1.6 million credits saved up, ready to spend them all. I don't have much gear, I would like the Black Widow and Krysae, then would love to upgrade my Carnifex.

Wish me luck, lol.

Ultra rares aren't dropping much now. They were dropping like candy the day the DLC came out, shame you couldn't do it then.

Also mind is boggled why people want nerfs to guns in co-op games.

No you should if you want gold items. Just wanted to mention that ultra rare drop rates are low again.

Sucks

I just started playing last week, but I played a lot all week. I need to get the Salarian Infiltrator character as well, cloak and energy drain sounds awesome together.

 

[astroturfing]

had some really fun bugs.. suddenly on wave 5 or something i can't shoot, reload, use cluster grenades (animation happens but no nades anywhere lol), or melee. only Flamer (playing Vorcha Sentinel) worked, but it didn' do dmg most of the time.

i quit and join another game in progress, only to find everyone else is already dead and there's only one enemy left... who i can't find because it's invisible. it's shooting at me and i'm almost dying constantly, yet i simply can't find it. i checked everywhere several times for like 5-10 minutes and there's no one. so another player spectating me messages me "WTF are you doing, kill it already". but i can't so i have to quit and the team loses... fantastic.

what the hell seriously, game is broken as fuck. and it was just patched? lol.

 

[Reece]

I heard rumors of a "platinum" mode. If that comes to be true they'll probably regret asking for nerfs.

 

[Tzeentch]

-- There is almost no way this would be doable with the current group of players and the way matchmaking now works. People would never get past the first objective wave.

 

[Reece]

As someone who just recently played my first Gold match, I disagree. I had an awesome group of randoms, I was definitely the least skilled and we got a full extraction. I know it's just one match but I never get really crappy matches. Playing on PC though so maybe 360 is different.

 

[Replicant]

Tried White Reaper Gold last night. It wasn't any harder than Geth.....except when you have those fetch 2 items quests. Then all hell breaks lose because carrying items while walking slowly and without cloak is an absolute mess when you have Brutes and Banshees running around. By wave 10, I was the only one left and stupidly, I got shot in the back by a Marauder Shield. I didn't see him sneaking in with a cloak on while I stocked up on ammo in the back area. It was like a horror film when my friends were screaming "He's behind you! He's behind you!!!" but I didn't realize it quick enough before he downed me.

 

[Rad Agast]

I

Doesn't need to be nerfed hard in my opinion. Just needs to be rebalanced so it doesn't accept AP/Shredder mods.

 

[Mindlog]

Gold hasn't been too difficult for me as of late*. It' has been very easy since I started abusing the Krysae against Cerberus. I'll stop using the Krysae after I get more of my mods maxed. Then I plan on abusing cluster grenades.

*One exception to prove the rule. I like Firebase Goddess. It's a pretty map and fairly challenging. However, that capture point objective in the main room has to go. Has anyone ever tried it? I used up almost all of my equipment to complete it. Far and away the hardest objective I've ever had to complete on Gold. It's open on every side AND there's high ground for the enemy to shoot you from.

 

[Polydeuces]

Having so much fun with the Turian Soldier with a Mattock X. Those proximity mines combined with concussion are a deadly combo.

Starting to go more towards the Phaeston than the Avenger. Hopefully once it reaches X I will convert to it.

Still sticking with those Veteran packs until i get all of the uncommons.

The problem with that objective is how little of the cover there actually protects you from the high ground. If you could sit behind the cover closest to the window, it wouldn't be so hard but I don't think the capture circle covers that part.

So, do you think Bioware would have few surprises this week since it is E3? May be new packs?

Are they even there? If they are, there is more chances they'll talk about their ending DLC than their next multiplayer one.

 

[j0hnny_385]

I doubt they'll talk about the "Ending fix" DLC on E3 since there's no way to talk about it in a meaningful way without being spoiler-heavy.

 

[Reece]

There's no way they want to talk about the Extended Cut DLC, its a PR nightmare and I'm pretty sure they don't want to bring up those kind of feelings at their big event. It's supposed to be about how super awesome EA is. I'm pretty sure not a single mention about anything relating to Mass Effect 3.

On spot, nothing of ME3.

It's an ok assault rifle with hardly any ammo. The Hurricane is better.

Speaking of... I hope everyone enjoyed the OP Krysae before the nerf bat hits it tomorrow evening. I'm going to respec my Geth Infiltrator for Scorpion abuse and my male Quarian for Claymore/Arc Grenade abuse.

Spamming vet packs is getting me a lot of mods.

I have Krysae I and I can post decent scores despite being an absolutely terrible shot. It'll probably be brought down a tad. It probably would have been more acceptable if the Krysae was ultra-rare and the Harrier was rare. Assuming the harrier is just an above average assault rifle.

such a shame the grenade pack is a gold item, I need that for my drell vanguard.

really good gun, in fact the only disadvantage it has is the low ammo capacity. really punchy and one of the most accurate assault rifles.

 

[Mindlog]

Nope, just conjecture

Like I was saying a while back. Grenades are going to be a much bigger problem.

Both of my Grenade Capacity upgrades came from Veteran Packs.
Now that I think about it most of my Gold mods came from Vet Packs.

I'll switch back to PSPs after more of my uncommon mods are out of the way.

It would be fine if shots did not explode anywhere near an enemy, instead exploding only on impact.

 

[Stantron]

My Krogan Soldier has 1200 health, 1600 shield, fortification set for more shield protection, and a +10% shield equipment. And yet it seems like I go down in gold almost as fast as any other low health/shield class. Seems kind of pointless. Also, rank 6 carnage spec'ed for damage barely makes a scratch on enemies. :/

Strong enemy attacks, such as Atlases and Primes, take percentages of your shields and health rather than do numerical damage. For example, a Prime can kill you in three direct shots (Shield -> Majority of Health -> Sliver of Health), no matter what difficulty.

Bleh, spent about 200K on vetpacks and got a ton of character cards. Zip on gear. The only time I got uncommon gear was when I bought a bunch of premium spectre packs. ಠ_ಠ

Now I'm just saving up until they introduce better packs.

I got more uncommon weapons and Turian Soldiers/Sentinels than uncommon gear from vet packs lol. But now that i got my Mattock to X, i think i'll go back to spectre packs... i have yet to get the Male Quarian Infiltrator, Vorchas or Ex-Cerberus classes, not to mention a lot of rare weapons to X.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

These random packs are beyond random. Not that it's that a big deal, but I have unlocked almost all the new classes (only the new Vanguard is left) and I still don't have the Salarian Infiltrator. Also have all the new weapons including the Cerberus Harrier.

 

[astroturfing]

same here about the Salarian Infiltrator. got all the other original characters ages ago, and now most of the newer ones... it's just not happening.

Same club. SI continues to baffle me why I still haven't unlocked him yet.

 

[X-Frame]

The SI was the last class I unlocked as well before any DLC.

So no E3 announcements? I wonder why they didn't hold off Rebellion until this week, not that I am complaining. Sooner the better.
