    which seems weird to me because mashing the charge button with only a sliver of health left is like, the main thing a vanguard does. You'd think it would've been pretty easy to notice that sometimes that results in you glitching out.

    I wouldn't call it the main thing

    but it's a damn good emergency button when shit gets a little too real

    The main thing vanguards do is putting themselves into situations where they're almost dead

    Getting back out of it is a secondary feature

    any vanguard worth their weight in salt can charge in and walk out of even some of the worst situations 80% of the time.

    I like getting wiped on wave 10 after the objective is complete

    because that means we still get paid

    and I just think to myself

    you have struck me down

    but I will come back more powerful than you can possibly imagine

    Haha, I forgot how much I enjoyed the Carnifex. Been running with the Predator this whole time and finally unlocked the 'fex. It's lovely, being able to hurt things with a gun.

    I'm providing ambience.

    Which in vanguard math factors out to about 8 deaths :)

    No but seriously, vanguards are adorable. They're like oversized glitchy drones

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    it just takes a little more finesse than on silver

    generally yeah you wanna leave the bosses to other characters

    your job should be stalling and cutting down crowds

    I just played a round with 4 biotics. 3 adepts and I was a human sentinel.

    It was a wonder to behold

    also: just did full extraction gold with pubbies, two level 20 quarian infiltrators, a level 10 human engineer, and a level 1 salarian engineer

    firebase white geth, camping that lower room, is really easy*

    *comparatively

    I can almost guarantee you the level 1 still had all his skills from level 20.

    That's been happening since the "Promote 2 characters" weekend. I had a couple guys who, after being promoted and going back to level 1, still had all of their skills. At one point 1 was rolling a level 16 turian sentinel with -24 skill points.

    I am certain he is using the in-game engine to set up the images, then slaps on some layers to make it look drawn.

    It just seems way too close to the original to be drawn manually.

    But not Javik's

    that mouth is exquisitely animated


    oh I noticed all right

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    Yeah Javik's mouth was fine.

    Except times when he would start to smile mid-sentence for no reason and then go back to scowling.
