    Because everyone has the Avenger, not everyone has those pistols.

    I mean, compare the Raptor (sniper) vs the Mattock (rifle) and the Mattock out performs it in every way (except rate of fire, the Raptor is faster).

    Also, anyone gonna join me on 360 in about... 9 hours or so?

    I'm not even talking about rare or uncommon pistols, though with them the difference is even greater, of course.

    I'm talking about the Predator. The Predator is pretty much superior to the Avenger in every way.

    Anybody going to be online on Origin soon? I'm hoping to get in a game or two and knock out the weekend goal while I'm at it.

    When you log on, pass me an invite.

    I'm MildConfusion on Origin (though I think we are already friends =P )

    I can play till the wife calls me, then I gotta make dinner, but I'll be able to play after that.

    I've been in the mood to play Vampires the Masquerade for some reason. Been doing that between PA groups. Well, that and teaching my little girl how to play Sonic the Hedgehog 3 lol

    I've been good Samaritan-ing in silver with my quarian male all day. I hope I helped a few people get their commendation goals... also the retrieval objective either pops up a lot more during this event or i've just been lucky that way yesterday and today.

    You got lucky. I rolled through several rounds with a group last night and we got the enable device objective 6 straight times.

    Was the commendation requirement a full extraction or just an extraction?

    I'm beginning to wish Bioware would create a new faction to kill and add some new enemies to the existing factions.

    Like what? Some random merc band? During a galactic war against the Reapers? New enemy types maybe, but not new factions.

    Collectors, Rogue mercenary factions, Slavers, idk I'm sure they can think of something.

    Merc faction with vorcha included as enemies and a brand new "DEFEND FANS" objective mode. Collectors would make the most sense, as has been mentioned, but mercs aren't very far-fetched either.

    Spoiler:

    I'm almost certain myself that's the case. But there's been a pretty big debate about "collectors don't fit in with the lore!" on the BSN, so if that'd be the case, I think that debate would've ended soon after it was started.

    Edit:

    Last point under trivia. Pretty sure it refers to them as a whole, not just the Seekers, since the Collectors are pretty much insects.

    Fuck yeah, mercenary faction. Blue Sun Battarians and Vorcha for grunts, Bloodpack Krogans and Eclipse mechs for specialists, and bosswave you fight Zaeed. He only takes damage after three team members go down.

    Except that faction is on your side in ME3.

    Also, yay Cerberus Vanguard! I took him for a spin on Gold and didn't feel useless at all. Smash hits through walls and cover, and I can just charge away when I need health. I like it alot.

    Well, for me, the reason my Origin name is that is because its the username of my Steam account, and I logically expected to be able to choose my own goddamn handle ingame.

    Kroguard specced for durability with a Reegar is like cheating on gold. You will never die.

    With Cerberus dude I've maxed all his unique stuff. I carry a heavy pistol and use lash for range, charge when I see easy targets, and smash smash SMASH enemy elites from behind or the sides if I can. Does so much freaking damage.

    Decent but runs out of ammo fast and needs a stability mod because it rides up a lot.

    Probably wouldn't use it until it was high level because of its ammo capacity.

    This, pretty much.

    If you intend to use it in gold, it is more of a support weapon (staggers).

    Definitely want to use the Magazine mod. Piercing is somewhat useful on it too.

    I really despise that gun. It's like it shoots farts or something equally ineffectual.

    Just had the best match on Gold. Was playing Salarian Inf with a Quarian Eng, Turian Sent and a Vorcha Sent. It was Geth on Condor.

    Things were going along pretty nicely until around wave 7 and 8 when my team ending up wiping both times. They weren't bad or anything but yeah it happened(Hunters move like they're on crack on gold).

    So I basically ending up having to solo both waves. It wasn't too hard being an infiltrator and you know you can run away whenever things get bad.

    But I guess I must have inspired my team after that because we just completely slaughtered afterwards. I used five rockets but at that point I really didn't give a fuck(and I got two primes every time I did).

    And as to praise me for a job well done, the game gave me a Quarian Male Engie.

    Also, one of the guys sent me a message telling me how awesome I am. And that was just nice.

    the more i play, the more i hate maps where you have to run around forever to find the last dude

    condor/dagger i am talking to YOU

    what i do like for expedited gold matches is geth or cerb on glacier

    everything spans in the same damn place at the same damn time so you nuke it down and it's half the wave over

    giant is ok, most of the others are ok as well

    but fuck condor, seriously

    Just played for the first time in a few weeks...holy shit does the Falcon suck even more now. Cyclic rate of 4rpm. WTF. But the Cerberus Adept can be pretty fun as long as you're specced for bio explosions.

    So, I'm sure this has been asked but:

    For the personal goal for this weekends event; does it matter whether or not the player who is playing the Rebellion class is extracted; or do you have to simply get any type of extraction while someone on your team is that class; regardless of whether they actually extract or not?

    Just finished a silver with a cerberus adept on the team but I'm the only one who extracted because zomg bads.

    I hatehatehatehatehatehate silver so much, and if I "got" my goal, I want to not do it anymore.

    Maybe I should do another just in case. :evil:

    EDIT: ah, according to priestly; yeah, that is fine...also to my frustration, gold extractions count too; so I didn't have to torture myself with the congregation of bads in Silver.

    Wait; I don't have to be one of the Rebellion classes, right?

    Only one person has to extract, not necessarily the new-class and you can get it by playing on gold as well.

    The reward for the group goal is an N7 armory weapon as well, not just an N7 rarity weapon.

    This time next week I should have an Eagle VI.

    I finally unlocked the Harrier assault rifle. Pretty damn nice for a level I.

    Still haven't unlocked battlemaster, cerb vanguard, vorcha soldier, nor geth/quarian male infiltrator, yet I have a Scorpion IV and Saber II...

  • ForarForar Registered User regular
    Long day over, but I knocked off a Gold and a Silver before I head off. Full extraction on both, played my Male Quarian Engineer in both, and had a MQE in one and a Vorcha in the other, so I should be covered.

    Even did 2 retrievals during those (both in the silver), so I feel I've participated. Depending on when I get home from my jaunt out of town tomorrow, I might knock off a few more, but for now, I'm off to bed.
