Mr. Picky Pants Let's get nitpicky!
Playing a bit of ME3 Multiplayer earlier tonight and as usual it’s borderline impossible to pick up passable teammates. As much as I might like to attempt gold guns, I’m not going to even bother because with teammates like these it would be absolute suicide. Granted I went Vanguard (which I excel with) and Bruce is using a heavily modified lawnmower (falcon), but when my score is more than triple the other two teammates combined, something is clearly askew.
I wonder if the problem of finding similarly skilled teammates will ever be solved. To me one of the most frustrating aspects of team based games is finding individuals who excel at the highest levels. It’s far too common to find people who excel at the lower difficulties but just cannot keep up when the difficulty kicks into overdrive. On a similar note, many of those individuals who appear to excel at lower difficulties will often only do so due to drafting off the skills of superior teammates. It’s something that’s difficult to notice until those teammates switch sides or sit out, but it’s there all the same.
If you think you’re up for the challenge of smashing some ME3 gold on PC feel free to leave a comment with your origin name and we’ll see if we can work something out.
Like I’ve said before, some teammates are best used as cannon fodder.

I have a pretty decent 20 human Engineer build that I’ve been skipping between Silver/Gold with; it’s a standard max Incinerate/Chain Overload.
I’m pretty competent against every faction (Chain Overload against Geth/Phantoms/Atlas’ etc, Incinerate against Pyros/Banshees/Brutes/Ravagers) but I haven’t been able to consistently finish Gold due to incompetent teammates when we really start to get Zerged by the Reapers and the Geth in the later rounds.
I’m not sure how well, if at all, I’d play with you guys, but if you guys are still interested, Origin: SemblanceWGG

I would never attempt gold on 360 without at least two friends for two main reasons, the first being teammates who are more suited to meatshield roles. Secondly (I’m not sure if this is just me or what) but it seems like Vanguard is just insanely buggy. Not a round goes by where I can’t charge someone for reasons inexplicable. I’ve died because I couldn’t charge someone in close proximity, in a wide open area, with no cover anywhere in sight. Gamebreaking bugs like these are the reason I refuse to play past silver anymore.

That is just lag. I normally host with my friend and my charge works almost all the time flawlessly. Just a few minutes ago i was playing with an online friend and two of his friends on a Canadian host (I live in virginia), with a 3 hour time zone difference. Needless to say I nearly died and was mashing my Y button so much to charge.

yeah i figured out the bug….
when you play in any lag at all… mashing the keys causes the game to think you are holding down the keys. If you just press it once with proper timing the abilities work better. There might be some delay but atleast they’ll be executed.

i’m going to upload a reaver gold match today and i already uploaded geth gold.
There are tricks to making the game manageable.
i’m sure everyone here knows, but vanguard + reapers = massive fail.
I bet on bronze you cannot even charge banshees (never tried but silver was laughable), Brutes one shot vanguards also FTW

I had to torrent me3 cause my origin wasn’t working. However I managed to fix the stupid software today and I just went and bought a copy of the game. Will be heavily getting into multiplayer now. In other words, my knowledge of mp is ATM dependant on the sp and yours/Bruce’s videos, which I would think is already better than the average person lol. I’ll be busy leveling up my chars lol. Origin username is xdiima fyi.

Only competent with vanguard as I haven’t levelled any other class up really, not enough time :3. I can definitely hold my own as human adept and turian sentinel though, both of which I have around level 15

mostly use human sentinel, quarian engineer, recently promoted adept need to level it up again.
i am mediocre with the turian sentinel however my overload is maxed out to help out the team.

People on 360 are much worse…I don’t know how many times i’ve seen Adept’s rock assault rifles and snipers and never throw out warps or sing/stasis. If any of y’all want to play on 360 let me know. I can handle silver and gold if I have other competent teammates.

This might be the wrong place to post this but why the hell not. Drj i want to know what you think of the indoctrination theory in mass effect. If you haven’t heard of it yet here is a few links which might help:

The blog post is a must read in my opinion as it goes into great detail as to why the author believes in it and spins a new light on the ending which everybody feels doesn’t do the series justice.
If this theory does prove to be true and bioware shows this through dlc, they might make it free to people who have bought the game new, but paid for second hand copies. A reason for doing it through dlc is that they could have been pressurised by EA into doing it this way as we all know what EA are like now with DRM etc.

I posted a video about the indoctrination theory on my channel. Curious to hear DRJ’s opinion but I think he is still playing me3 singleplayer.

I’d love to play with you guys in ME3. Finding Silver too easy at the moment and it’s hard to find good players Gold runs
