Why do people set the map to Glacier and then just run all over the place instead of using the room?

Still having trouble finding the right weapon combination for the Demolisher. My last game I used Javelin/Crusader which was pretty good since they're both pretty awesome weapons individually, but they don't synchronize very well. I'd take the Revenant to go with the Javelin because it's probably my highest Gold at VI or VII, but the thing just doesn't seem to do any damage past silver.

I feel obligated to stay at least below -100% cooldown since it's one of the only classes that lets me do that, conversely tying me to the heavier weapons instead of to the lighter ones.

Have you got a Harrier? Use it. I find that and a Crusader are a good mix, though a Reegar or Claymore are also good.

In Harrier-related news, I finally got my Harrier II. Hell yes.

Thanks for the platinum games today. That's probably the second time I've tried platinum...the first time was an accident and I thought I was going into a gold game but the leader changed when I wasn't paying attention.

What are good classes to farm platinum glacier with? That's the first time I've done that, but I've heard of staying in the small room before. All these escort missions are making that poo poo a pain though. My BatSent was doing alright, but I'm sure I could use another class more effectively to help out more...just wondering what it would be. Obviously something that uses a lot of tech, so maybe another adept?

You just want to cause as many explosions as possible. Shockwave works alright because it's not a one-hit thing. Reave is good. Smash is good. Biotic Slash is good. N7 Fury, N7 Slayer, Asari Justicar, I guess Drell Adept if you really wanted, Cerberus Adept/Vanguard, Kroguard if you know what you are doing.

I'll let you know how it works if I ever unlock that character, but since they added gold equipment that's pretty much all I get now (and not the good stuff like grenade increases or whatever).

I can get through solo on bronze with consumables, and don't usually die in the main combat. It's the cash rounds that do me in pretty much. Actually really it's just the hacks. But I haven't managed to not get one yet in several hours of play today.

What are you playing on? If you're on 360 I can give you a hand?

If you are complaining about the weight on the Crusader, run a Vorcha Sentinel with no Flamer socooldowns aren't a concern. Harrier in one hand, Crusader in the other. You have both a powerful shotgun and a pinpoint accurate sniper rifle, and the best AR in the game for mid-range.

The only names that matter are my Vorcha names, and they're both words I would imagine are straight out of the Vorcha dictionary:
Grahk, and Triir. If you imagine Triir to be the sound they make when bloodlust kicks in, well.

I still really enjoy the multiplayer, because I only play a couple games a week. But I do think it needs expanding. The new classes/weapons are nice, but there needs to be either new game modes or new enemies, or both. Husk death mode would be grand, as would Collectors/Mercs/whatever to fight.

It has innate armour piercing and is accurate as gently caress. You need neither a Smart Choke nor a Shredder. Go High Calibre Barrel and either bayonet or ammo, depending on what you're playing.

If you want to test its accuracy, use it as a non-scoped sniper weapon. You can straight up headshot mooks from across the map.

Oh yeah, I noticed a couple of times I just straight-up blew a Marauder's head off when I took my time with the shot. But I'm much more used to just unloading like a crazy person after I cloak and fire my prox mine. The Pirahna has spoiled me.

I'm actually quite glad it occupies a very different niche from the Pirahna.

This is exactly why I hated the Crusader at first. When I use a shotgun, I want a gun that I aim in the general direction of someone and put all of the lead into the air. The Crusader is a very different kettle of fish.

Highly, highly powerful, fast firing, fast reloading, but not at all a traditional shotgun.

I have to be the only person on the planet that doesn't have a loving Piranha.

Anyway, since we're throwing things about, here's mine.

Reave (ME2 version, that was the one that restored health when you drained organics, right?)

You want to talk about the desire sensor? HUH?

All I want is a harrier.

The Harrier is everything you could ever want in a gun. I currently have a Harrier II, and it is amazing.

Interestingly, though, a Mattock X is roughly equal in damage output. But your finger will be sore. It also has a better sound than the Harrier.

You know what you must do.

It's ok bro. The desire sensor gave me every single thing from the Earth DLC except the one N7 character I wanted for weeks. When I finally got it, the wait made it even more amazing. Half the pleasure's in the anticipation.

It's like when I went, oh, another Batarian Senti....Soldier?! :getin:

I am still the only motherfucker on the planet with no Piranha, though.

Are you bored with ME3? Join Two Finger's racial squads!

Batarians!
Vorcha!

Asari!
Drell!
Salarians!
Quarians!

I want to run a 4-man squad dedicated to each race. I am thinking Vorcha will be hysterical as will Batarians, and I am thinking I will want to kill myself by the end of all-QFI's.

Can you post your manifest? We can give suggestions based on that, but jesus, a Phaeston or a Falcon for gold is... not exactly ideal.

drat. Hearing his voice again made me realise how cool harbinger was in ME2.
I hope he assumes control and joins the fray. taunting us with insults about needing a group and being nothing compared to The Shepard he keeps mentioning to the other reapers.

I will forgive Bioware just a little bit for taking him out of the main game.
It definitely showed a glowy Collector charging, though, so I think Harby's back.

Yes, it absolutely was a Drell with homers. I am... excited.

Watched it again. Things of note:

Turian Havoc? seems to have a jetpack.

Asari Huntress? seems to have a shadow-strike type ability, at one point an Asari disappears and reappears behind an enemy.

Whoever said about a yellow-coloured Smash is right.

The Krogan definitely fires a shockwave.

A Geth performs a strike on someone on the ground - could just be a funky angle for a grab kill, but I'm not 100%

What looks like a Cannibal knocks a Geth down

And I am more and more certain that Batarian is using Lash.

A loving BatVan with Lash. All my dreams are coming true.

EDIT: Also, one of the Collectors seems to have Seekers on them.

The Krogan also seems to have Lift? He hits something with a biotic and it launches straight up, I can't think of anything that can do that?

I am excited about Geth Trooper and Vorcha Hunter most of all. My guess is Hunter is an infiltrator, though it could be a vanguard I guess. Asari Valkyrie also sounds good.

I can't think of any good reason to use Carnage, because Charging is way more important and Carnage would reset your cooldown.
