Do we know if the community killed enough Brutes?
I have to imagine it happened...

Man, sounds like I'm glad that I left when I did, it was bad enough with the game putting me with people on the other side of the map getting annoying lag, but losing credits and XP would've really pissed me off.
A Krogan Sentinel isn't meant to be using powers at all, at least if you're making him to be a tank, so if you ignore putting a single point into Incinerate, you can max out the other four skill trees.
But you're saying Sentinel and then saying Carnage so I don't know if you actually meant the Krogan Soldier though.
Should be, yup.

They totally should have had a live, running tally posted somewhere.
I am not touching Incinerate, but going to max the lift grenades last. I carry the two heaviest weapons I have which is around -100% cool down so I can't use any powers.
Carnage and Inferno Grenades are on the Krogan Soldier.
Tech Armor: Durability (4), Melee Damage (5), Durability (6)
Lift Grenade: Radius (4), Max Grenades (5), Damage and Radius (6)
Incinerate: N/A
Krogan Berserker: Weapon Damage (4), Headshots (5), Weapon Damage (6)
Rage: Durability (4), Martial Artist (5), Fitness Expert (6)

Beat a Silver Mission and felt like God on High. Love this shit.

You can't fire it at full speed unless you're the host. Their network code isn't up to the challenge. I fire mine just a hair faster than the enemy recovers from the stagger. Still keeps me from getting hit and prevents air grenades.

Does anyone know if the gameplay tracking is on by default? I didn't bother to check and now I'm getting nervous I may not get my pack despite finishing 5-6 silver match Reaper battles this weekend.

It was for me.
yeah, I meant Incinerate. I don't have the Krogan unlocked for Soldier, but I don't care to play as a Soldier class anyway.
thanks! I'll probably play the Sentinel next.

It's confirmed it's on by default. Aww yeahh!
Yeesss... Yeeeeeeeesssssss!
I've been enjoying my Krogan Sentinel very much. He's a Lv17 now. Aaahhh, the way those Cannibals fly~
Welp. My Veteran kill counter reset due to the freeze.
I should have backed up my settings file. Oh well.
Same thing happened to me. Finally got veteran today

Interesting. I didn't think to make my Krogan Sentinel purely weapons-based, mainly because I rely on powers so much for the other classes. Hmmm...I suppose I can promote this class to get the Achievement and then work on a new build (I don't have anymore respec cards). Would be nice to carry that insanely heavy Revenant I unlocked yesterday.
I love the Phalanx but now that I have a Carnifex, I feel like I'm set for life.
For a Krogan Sentinel, what guns would you use? AR and Shotgun?

Played a Silver Reaper match on Saturday with randoms, it was my first try at the N7 challenge. I was the highest level, with my Level 20 Turian Sentinel. Couple other guys in the high teens, and one guy was a Level 7, but he was a Drell (don't remember which version).
It was rough going. My team was decent, but I mostly had to carry them. I finished off one wave solo after the rest of the team died. Then, in a later wave, I died when I was careless and got a bit too close to a Banshee. The rest of the team died, except for a lone Infiltrator. Watching him play, it was clear he had no idea how to use his Tactical Cloak, but somehow he was able to make it through the wave while using up a couple of medi-gels. Somehow we made it to the end and got extracted. I was pretty pleased, as I thought it to be an impossible venture with the team I had after we'd tackled the first few waves.
Now I fully expect to unlock the lousiest N7 weapon available come Tuesday.

Been enjoying this a lot, but would prefer some GAF company (tag is SyoaranX)
Finally got a good N7 weapon, the Javelin, and I just picked up the salarian infiltrator with maxed out energy drain. Now I just use that and headshots. Love the asari adept as well, but sadly throw doesn't scale well in Silver.

I find it silly that they treat different classes with the same character model as different unlocks. Oh, you have all the customization options on your Human Adept and not your Human Sentinel, but you want to play the Sentinel with red lights? Too bad.
I've seen that happen as a result of lag.

Human Vanguard is such a beast, just cleared Gold as him.
It happened to me like 4 times already. Guess it's impossible to get Platinum trophy with such issues. Im playing PSN version btw.

How are you guys winning on Gold with a Human Vanguard??? :O
Run more games at Silver. You get more cash, the challenge is just enough to kick you around for being stupid, but not so absurd that you should go into the fetal position if you're ever alone.
Lag. If you're a Vanguard and meet a hiccup in the connection mid-charge, you're screwed.
Whoa, waitaminit. If we don't have this one we won't get the N7 packs?

Standard Biotic Charge/Nova mashing with 200% recharge rate. I will try to record next time. It's impossible with Cerberus/Reapers obviously.

Oh, I have done Silver many times before, and beaten it before, this was just my first attempt at Silver with Reapers for the N7 Challenge.
Unfortunately, Silver just seems generally quite difficult if you're playing with randoms that don't play as a team. Maybe it'll be easier to carry my team if I unlock a better character or weapons, but right now it seems hard to take on multiple Banshees or Brutes at the same time without help from teammates (especially since my Turian Sentinel is built more for crowd control than taking down the heavier targets). It's not impossible, necessarily, but more difficult than it would be with some competent help. I just need to start seeking out GAF help.

Yep. But it is on by default (360 version, at least). I know -- I freaked out a little bit this morning until it was confirmed it was already on.
Well, fuck me then, I always turn that shit off.
There is one way to do it. If you have PS+ you can keep a backup of your settings file.
There is also one way to avoid lag, as EatChildren pointed out to earlier: Host your own games
I'm hosting Firebase White, Geth, Silver. Easy money.
I have a feeling people who opt out of such things will continue to miss out on more and more in the future. Companies want our info.
Are characters save on the console? If so, that makes me less afraid of all these wiping-glitches people are experiencing.

I'm actually kind of confused now that Soldier is the most used class in mutli. I rarely ever see them when I play.
Geth are chumps.
I hope they get some added units... the tanks and hoppers would be a great addition.

Turian Soldier fo life
Dunno, I guess so? Only my settings file was reset, not the character stuff.

Are you serious? I unlocked a Turian Soldier and it's easily the worst class I've played. Let's go over the skills:
1) Marksman: Don't see the benefit of this skill...seemed to do nothing to help me when using the Vindicator.
2) Concussion Shot: Nice to knockdown enemies (and has a quick cooldown) but does hardly any damage.
3) Proximity Mine: Unless I'm doing it wrong, I hardly see ANY value in this power.
So what am I missing here? Granted, I didn't level him very high, but after playing classes like the Drell/Asari Adept and the Engineer, this class just seemed useless.
I do, however, want to unlock a Krogan soldier. Only race (besides the two Quarians) I've yet to unlock!
That's one of the reasons I like KS so much. It's one of the only classes where I completely ignore weight.
Gold cleared in 22:41
That's what I've been talking about with adepts (biotics.) A fully tech armored human sentinel might be able to throw fast enough to keep up with reave. I hope this does not get nerfed.
Vindicator does not pair up well with marksman. You need to use a weapon with a high rate of fire.
