Only my Kroguard is pink (with camo blood red pattern because it's hard to keep clean when you're headbutting). My krogan soldier has turtles colors because you can't really make the exposed bits pink enough.

Best part is, before I really thought about it, I sent him a message thanking him, complimenting his sick launcher. :)

This guy was absolutely missile glitching if he killed anything above a husk with a missile launcher. The shoulder launcher power is basically useless. I don't mind playing a game or two with missile glitchers, it just gets boring after a few rounds. Clearing 270k credits for 2 platinum rounds in ~30 minutes is just too tempting to quit.

If they kick me in the lobby for playing a proper class though I report them, because they're jerks and I am a nice man who plays nice.

EDIT: I've got a universal darkest purple main color, light/bright blue highlight, yellow secondary color, light/bright blue lights color scheme that looks really loving slick on everything. Alternately you can swap the yellow/purple but keep the highlight and lights color the same. Screencap later. Took me a while to figure out, but I had some time to kill.

I remember now, he left after that game, which was disappointing because my tolerance for boring can be incredibly high when I'm getting that many credits.

At this point I'm actually searching for easy gold games on White/Geth. Don't quite have the gear/guns to be as deadly as I need to be for gold. That level affords the cover and safe flank I need to matter for my team. I'm a bum, basically.

Color scheme chat: On the opposite end of absolutely god-awful armor color schemes are completely slick-and-sexy color schemes. I don't have any worthwhile video capture software (I play on the Xbox) so I'll just have to describe my Kroguard's various color patterns:

All black with light blue lights for "Issac Clarke the Krogan." All white with light blue lights for "Tron the Krogan." Blue primary, blue highlight, white secondary, Pattern 2, red pattern, black lights for "Amer'ka, the American Krogan."

Enjoy!

Oh, sure. White primary w. a brown highlight and deep-red secondary looks great on pretty much everything, especially Salarians and geth. The more rounded/organic the armour is, the better it will look.

Krogan, Turians and anything with blockier, more segmented armour looks good with black primary, bright yellow secondary and bright yellow camo.

I still haven't found a way to make drell look good.

I always use a blue base color (use a nice blue primary, the super bright blue secondary) with yellow secondary/stripe/lights. As appropriate I will occasionally use black secondary if the yellow gets too overpowering. Looks good on everything so far.

For my Backwards Soldier, who uses conc shot (how dare he) I swapped it to yellow primary/blue highlight.

Most drell I see use black with either red stripes or green (to match the skin). It's especially effective when you select Pattern 2 and match the pattern color to the Drell's olive-green skin color--it looks like tears in his suit that just look so badass. Personally I'm a fan of the red primary on the Drell. Style and/or swag.

Nordick
Sep 3, 2011

Yes.
I often get good looking results with a black primary with a more vivid highlight colour. Like, black with a red highlight will make the armour look like it's very deep, metallic red instead of black. Black with a dark yellow/orange (i.e. gold) highlight looks drat nice on a Batarian.
Doesn't work with all classes though, depends on the kind of material the armor/suit is made out of I guess. Some are less shiny so the highlight colour won't show as well.

Also, I discovered that picking a certain shade of orange as the secondary colour on the N7 Fury makes her outfit look rather, uhm, less than combat-worthy. :v:

I like to keep her like that just to take a piss on the usual female video game character design tropes.

Okay, does anybody else have this problem with the Hurricane? I put the SMG Heat Sink on it and it stops at 1 bullet left in the chamber, and it won't fire that last bullet or automatically reload.

It sounds minor, but I keep winding up standing there not knowing why my gun isn't firing or reloading for two or three seconds, which is about as much time as a Geth Hunter needs to repaint the walls with my brain matter.

Are you using it on a Destroyer? It'll happen if you don't take the magazine size evolution on Devastator Mode, and can also happen if your clip size mod isn't leveled up and changes the magazine by an odd numbered percentage.

I believe you need the clip size mod and the skill evolution. I don't feel like burning 2 respec cards to check. I know that not having the skill will always give you an odd number of rounds no matter which mod you use.

I don't like vanguards much. Had a few entertaining games with N7 Slayer, but in general I don't think the game itself is quite capable of handling the class.

You have to host to ensure you don't get raptured, if you don't host then any lag you experience hurts twice as much, and control bugs (of which there are many) frequently become the difference between life and death. Besides the glitch of charge not working until a weapon is fired which can definitely get you killed by itself, I've had charge be ready and activated but not trigger for three complete seconds for absolutely no other reason, on a Brute, that was five meters away, completely unobstructed by anything, and was definitely targeted.

That kind of bollocks just happens too much and the class ends up feeling far more frustrating than it should.
