That method is still broken.
I just hosted a game and STILL lagged.
This is a piece of shit.
I wish I could get a Saber to use it on my Asari Vanguard. I am going to build her up as a headshot destroyer with Stasis + Weapon/Headshot damage.
Likely will use my Carnifex II until I get anything better (which is what exactly? The thing is amazing).
I've had a couple idlers. That sucks.

Why the hell are hosts quitting the second they die? On Wave 1 Gold I have seen too many instances of high N ranking hosts going Rambo, dying immediately and then quitting. What the hell?
I think I was just in your game. The PSN name that was hosting looked similar to your GAF name. Anyway I think the lag affected your (or the someone else's) ability to save me at the end. lol. All in all, the multiplayer could use some polish.

I promoted 4 classes this weekend.
I'm working on a new build for Asari Spamhard... this time around, I'm thinking of abandoning Charge as a priority ability. Lift Grendades do stupid damage and set off biotic explosions without forcing me to jump into a fight buttnaked with Charge.
I still want to believe the that Asari's melee (overall) is better than the Krogan melee. It's just a matter of getting the 'combo' mechanics down between execution and the skill trees.
Still... there's something immensely satisfying about walking up to a stasified Phantom and casually putting 3 in her wig.
Because if they die, it is obvious their teammates suck. It's the only reason why something like that would happen.

I tried an "Asari Commando" build. Stasis Bubble, Lift Grenades, 3 points in Charge, and then whatever other points are left in the passives. I used the Mattock. Worked..... surprisingly well.
You may be right about the Lift Grenades, and they're incredibly broken on Bronze but on Silver and especially Gold their usefulness drops a lot when they're so much harder to obtain.
I will likely ignore them next time around.
Haha, I hate when that happens. I'm usually on my way to revive them but since they run off on the other side of the map it takes time. They don't even give a chance, just immediate drop.

Try using them on Primes when they are distracted by your decoy. Deals more damage imo.

What's your PSN ID? The lag really kicked my ass.
psn id: mr_don_belgium.
Don't worry about it. I missed a few point blank Geth Plasma Rifle shots due to lag. lol.
It's the best spell of the game against armored enemies, primes, pyros, brutes and ravages go down pretty quickly with it.

I've heard several say this, yet I find biotic combos rip through armour much faster (and do that delicious AoE damage to boot). Even spamming it almost non-stop doesn't seem to compete.
Well, of course, biotic explosions trump everything else in the game.
Bubble + Bonus Power is great. Turns choke points into meat grinders.
Biotic explosions twerk harder because they generally come about much faster. Incinerate is a good anti-armor skill, but its essentially nothing more than that. I still like Warp over Incinerate though from a team perspective - even without the biotic explosion possibilities.
you could go disciple for low cooldown and delicious stagger.
I dunno, I like it. It's got penetration and can see through smoke.
Anyone know how "Operation Raptor" is going? Are there stats on promoted chars?
If you're going to be in close and spamminghard, nothing is better than a Disciple.
But if you're playing Stasis Bubble spam style and want to head hunt... Carnifex, Mattock, Saber are your bros.
It's not that bad now that they buffed the dmg
Gah, what else has changed?

I'm so mad that PC and Xbox player will get their second N7 weapons.
Then I remembered that Hurricane is really not for me. The crusader seems really heavy for multi. I want to try Saber though.

Saber isn't an N7 weapon. Which is lucky, cause it's awesome.

Really ? Still, I wish I had free N7 or a Saber.
Also, the Geth Pulse rifle really feels like an electric bb gun. The gun of it, the no recoil/kickback, the insanely low damage output...
I love the javelin. Railing straight through a guardian's shields and one-shotting them is great fun. Also makes mincemeat of Brutes and atlases.

I got it as N7 weapon.
I guess what he means is you can only get it from the Commendation packs, instead of being a regular black-rarity obtainable N7 weapon. Which is the case.

Sorry for your loss
This isn't true.
My friend has the Saber and never even played when they gave out victory/commendation packs the first time. He got it in a Veteran pack.
Yeah we looked and nothing spawned or if it did it was under the map.
The host left and it said restarting current wave and the game crashed. Lost all the xp for my current level. Oh well.
So I have reached the point where certain class/race/loadout combinations just cause me to leave the lobby as soon as I enter. Does this make me a bad person?
More than one Vanguard and I'm out, pretty much ANY Krogan and I'm out. It's silly, I know, but Krogans especially are required to play in a way that is disruptive to my enjoyment of the game. Always running in front of shots, always meleeing Brutes and Banshees, always dying and yet always having the highest score. May as well go AFK if there are two of them, until they need reviving.

What I'm saying is that N7-rank weapons obtainable through commendation packs and through regular packs do not overlap. The ones in the commendation packs consist of weapons previously only available in single player bonus weapons from buying the collectors edition.
Refer to the checklist too see what I'm saying. Weapons listed under "special" are only obtainable through commendation packs, and those under ultra rare are available in purchasable packs. There is no overlap.

I just want a Valiant or a Viper X (or black widow)
I feel that the Widow, just like the Mantis (and the Javelin in the end) plays way to slowly for me. I tried with infiltrator and it's not my style.
Also : Paladin or Carnifex ?

ah upgrades only go up to V? that's a shame I was looking forward to the long-awaited day of having a AR barrel X
Isn't the Paladin a straight upgrade?
What map?
In Reactor this happens all the time. Back near the reactor on the high beam 2 enemies will always seem to get stuck and not make a sound and because there's 2 you won't get the Last Enemy notification.
I've found stuck enemies there at least 5 times now.
I had a Krogan host go balls to the wall, died (silver) 30 seconds into the first wave and quit.
I mean that dude sprinted to the other side of the map from the rest of the team... I guess he wanted us to follow him into hell.
Currently trying to level up Infiltrator (promoted Adept) but damn do I suck with them... using Quarian right now. Adept was more fun, going ape-shit with biotics. Infiltrator requires more finesse, which I am sorely lacking.
