Not entirely a bad situation if you have an iron mountain of Ammo Packs to burn through and you are not stingy about using Consumables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah - that wasn't really an issue I think sometimes you get far too into the weeds with the numbers Shit died. We all went to the pay window. Well not the shitty Krogan we were playing with. Fuck him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you guys want to do Gold more regularly (or God forbid, Platinum) or if the devs extend Weekend Challenge mission lengths all the way to Wave 11, you will eventually at least have to give some consideration to numbers and stats. Which is sad, because it was around this stage of ME3 co-op development where it got "serious" and wasn't fun to play anymore.. If they start giving out medals for solo play in Andromeda like they did with ME3 co-op, I will be done with this bullshit. The whole point of multiplayer mode is to play with multiple people.

jstout Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It was a silver APEX mission, so we had some wiggle room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am to the point where I can semi bully my way through most Silver matches with slightly sub-par characters, but I am also experiencing Gold match incidents where fuckers can and will boot you mid-match if they think they are carrying you too much.

RIPPA Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 We were joking last night when one dude voted to kick stout in the lobby and we got ready to all pounce on him when he quickly rescinded it I always assume if folks have mics on they are in a party together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUkered Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I usually finish in last place. Every now and then I'll come in third. No big deal. That being said, there's a certain irony in me finally coming in first with a new character in a bronze in which we all ate shit around wave 5. Also, what the hell is Sea Rug? (I'm gonna guess Mel had two beer and started singing shanties from Assassin's Creed Black Flag.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Finished outlaw mastery, by first 2 levels solo. 1 health pack, no revives. Thankfully, folks showed up in wave 3. I only did it because I needed 1500 points and I figured I could get that in 1 round by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melraz09 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I felt like jamie lee curtis shooting an uzi in true lies when i pulled that soned out. I don't ever see me getting all the gun challanges but really don't ever see me getting the bronze on the ar's. The mattock and the revenant are the only two I half like. Although I havent tried many of them. I will try JT's approach next time I use an ar. I am a pistol toting bastard on this game. The rozerad, hurricane, and eagle are all great for me. Ol' sea rug was an exceptional ally! Not as good as raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalph but still good. I'll get another couple hours in this evening before work and should be on for a good while tomorrow night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melraz09 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Some of the little shit birds were pretty close to the tracks in one spot. We shut the windows but actually didn't get any shot our way. I woulda hated to turn krogan on their asses. Although I probably woulda ended up salarian and running away with a bottle rocket up my ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 In one of my matches today, we had 2 remnant VI and 1 assault turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We've played bronze with four Remnant VI and none of us fired a shot until a Fiend on Wave 6 was in the way of the hack. Sea Rug was a random we played with, and it occurred to me while playing that it would be positively the most random redneck nickname ever recorded. Try it, it fits: "Dammit, Sea Rug, I don't care if she started it, you can't do that with your cousin. I know she's hot, but that's not the point here." Or there's: "Sea Rug, what in the hell are you doing with those Vice-Grips? Naw, naw, they're yours now, keep 'em." One more I just thought of: "Sea Rug, if I've told you once, I've told you a million times, marinara sauce is not made out of pot." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Tomorrow night they are twitch streaming what is going to be in Patch 1.09 And since the tweet was them sharing the video about Platinum and the Batarians - looks like that is coming when the next patch drops (which I have a feeling will be next Tuesday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going for Outlaw Mastery (the daily), and I'd already done a Gold with some guys, so I figured starting a Bronze solo would get me enough points. Next person joined when there were 3 enemies left in Wave 6.Full 4 man extraction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 JT I think you started playing right as the group broke up again as melraz had to go to work and I bailed because we had just started getting hit by storms. You need to bail on work earlier Or are the North Koreans to blame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to bail on work earlier Or are the North Koreans to blame? We're evaluating new software that will potentially be used in the upcoming annual joint US / ROK training in August so yeah, Kim Jong-Un is fucking with my game time. Right before I quit for the night, I landed on Voeld and went to chat with the Resistance peeps to collect my new side missions. The head medic sure is a grumpy fucker. So, this shit is going to be like Eos and I won't really be able to get anything else done until I deal with the Vault and restore the climate. This Level 2 Cold can kiss my ass. Why do I keep getting the feeling that Environmental Hazards in Campaign Mode would've been a part of Multiplayer for APEX mission with a Harsh Weather Conditions stip if the devs had gotten a chance to work on it? I'd much rather see a Higher Difficulty setting incorporate Hazards and a challenging number of normal enemies rather than coming up against an overwhelming horde of bullet sponges. I knocked out the Bronze APEX mission this morning and hopefully the MP servers will be up so that I can sort out my Strike Team crap and see what new equipment mod is for sale before guiding Scott Ryder to victory in Campaign Mode. The game insists on giving me Eezo for my Gold Material Pathfinder Reward boxes when I really need Platinum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm beginning to appreciate the little visual bits. I noticed in the cut scenes on Voeld and you can see the snowflakes collect on your the faceplate of your helmet and in the groves on your hardsuit when you're out in the environment, or when you are on Havarl and you can see rain beading on your hardsuit if you are in a section of the map where the rain forest has a lot of tree canopy.

jstout Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 They're talking about all sorts of changes that aren't mentioned in the patch notes. For example, no more insta-kills, period. New enemies in all three classes. List of changes coming on the blog after the stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
