Ignore Carnage, and max out everything else. Evolution choices:
Biotic Charge: Radius, Weapon Synergy, Barrier.
Barrier: Barrier Strength, Power Synergy, Power Recharge.
Class: Damage & Capacity, Power Damage, Shotguns.
Rage: Durability, Shield Recharge, Fitness Expert.
Give it a Reegar. Charge into a group of Geth. Know what invincibility feels like.
Of course, the Battlemaster's tactics don't work all that well against some of the Cerberus and Reaper forces, with their stupid insta-kill grabs, spoilin' my fun...

Weird thing happened yesterday, when I had played a Bronze match which went quite fine with a full extraction. Immediately when the match ended two of the guys wanted to kick me and the other one out. Which was odd, as neither of us screwed up. In fact, I had nearly the same amount of points as they had (eventhough they had +18 level characters, and I had mine at level 8), and their N7 level was about the same as mine. Dunno whether it was because I was using Asari Adept like one of them. Needless to say, the two of us left the party in which we were clearly not wanted.
Why do people bother to kick others in Bronze? You could solo the damn thing since its so easy.
I also never ever saw people kick or complain because someone pick the same class as them. I'm almost starting to believe its just a myth, or something that PC gamers just dont care about. The only time people bother to use the Kick button is when someone is clearly AFK in the lobby.
Edit : Saw that Derrick01 was banned. Well, hopefully he gets a Hurricane from this weekend event to make the pain go away. :lol

Will have to try the solo run. I once tried it with Geth Infiltrator, but it didn't really work as the enemies were still going towards me eventhough I was cloaked. I guess Krogan Vanguard would be a good option for solo?
I dunno why they wanted to kick us out. I would have somewhat understood it, if both of us sucked, but that was not the case. Kicking a rookie out of Bronze (or even Silver for that matter) is a shitty thing to do, and neither of us were rookies.
I know on xbl people will just boot you just for being there. It's a real cesspool of stupid. Someone wanted to boot me last night because they thought male quarian infiltrators were worthless, and especially so since I was using a Claymore X.
Hm... well, i guess i should be glad that i'm playing on PC where you can play whatever and however you want without fear of getting kicked.
Sucks to be a 360 player for this game. No 60 FPS and idiots kicking you for no good reason in multiplayer. Fun.

Actually I was playing on PS3, so it isn't devoid of idiots either.
Okay then, sucks to be a console player for this game.
Sure, PC dont have a controller option, but keyboard and mouse is great, so it never was an issue for me to begin with. And we have idiots sometimes too of course, just not the kicking type, and they're usually pretty quiet. So its win-win. Seriously, when people talk, i'm like "Holy shit, someone is actually talking!"
360 is horrible.
People stay in lobbies for 5+ minutes without doing anything.
Many of them kick you just because. Or if your character level is not high enough when doing gold runs or even because of your class.
Some get in your way because you're not playing the way they want you to.
They go capture objectives with you while you're using camo, which brings all the AI your way.
On upload objectives, they run around the map instead of helping with the upload.
On that new objective you have to carry stuff, they don't try to check for the safest route, they just pick the fastest even if it's filled with enemies.
Worst thing is most of them are bad but still do all these things because they think they're awesome.

Cheers for the build.
I have my Reegar at X too so it should prove interesting to say the least.
Looking forward to trying it out later. Did I hear something about it's rage being broken?
Yep, still busted. Unfortunate, but it's still a beast.

Only the melee damage through rage portion is broken.

So I have no idea how I'm going to do this weekend's challenge. I don't actually know anybody who has the game on PS3, I don't have a mic, and I've never popped into Gold except the couple times I did Geth farming right before Rebellion came out and even then it was a bit of a mess. I guess I can contribute by speed running bronze Reapers all weekend.
ill be there <3
Yep, Mike Gamble confirmed it on Twitter.
Please invite me...
I imagine with the Medi-Gel cap increase, and the DLC coming next week, lots of people will be busy this weekend, right?
Lol, the first one I encountered was like that too. He was a Vorcha Soldier with a Falcon. Despite the fact that he was killing almost everything in sight, and constantly had his Bloodlust up to regenerate his health, he had to be revived SO MANY TIMES. It was ridiculous.
Where da geth engineers at

What do Geth Engineers have to do with anything?
Keeping shields up with their turrets during the escort?

New DLC looks pretty cool. I wish they'd fix up the netcode first though.
I was messing around with the Geth Engi last night and maybe I was understanding something wrong, but the shield regen just wasn't nearly as good as I thought it'd be.
I've never been that big on tech users in the past though. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
Okay, its not just me.
I was really finding that going for speccing for a damage turret was almost always better. The shield regen is frequent enough. I was fine popping a turret and getting that first initial shield boost.
I usually pick rank 4 damage and rank 5 and 6 for shields, it's saved my ass and my teammates plenty of times for the range and frequency upgrades to be worth it.

So some new videos with the Earth DLC. That Vanguard. My God that Vanguard.

At the very least the Adept/Vanguard melee looks slightly safer than most since they teleport. With Annihilation Field, it looks like you could have a close range build for the Adept. Why you would do that instead of spamming Dark Channel/Throw and having constant biotic explosions is beyond me but hey it seems somewhat workable.
London is, as expected, incredibly dark and bland but it looks like there's a really nice vantage point much like the one at Dagger. It even looks like it's on the edge of the map so it's possible that nothing could spawn behind you while you're up there, which would be really nice.

Whoever was playing unfortunately didn't show too much, so it's hard to judge potential, but I at least loved how Rio and Vancouver looked, especially Vancouver which gave me a ME2 feel.
Did some looking around earlier and found some impressions of Platinum difficulty here, sounds even more crazy than I expected: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/13108698

Is the PS3 community dead or something? In quick match, no one seems to be playing silver or gold, just bronze.

Speaking of the missile glitch, a couple nights ago I'm pretty sure we got the fastest gold time without using any rockets - 15:02. All were Geth infiltrators with the hurricane. Stacking mines + AP ammo and the RoF increase was awesome.
Why'd you pick the Hurricane over the Harrier?
Depends on the map I'd guess... a map like Glacier is perfect for the Hurricane. The ammunition and choke points have to be the biggest factor *shrug*
Its preference though. I JUST got my Harrier. Shit makes the Particle Rifle look like a dartgun.
Some new Slayer, Shadow, and Paladin gameplay:
Slayer: http://comic-con.gamespot.com/story/6386936/day-0-guide-for-the-new-vanguard-class-in-mass-effect-3s-earth-dlc
Shadow: http://comic-con.gamespot.com/video/6386959/n7-shadow-mass-effect-3-gameplay-video-earth-dlc
The Shadow gameplay, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be that good. It's all sniping, and not enough of the new powers.
