how's the harrier?

Pretty neat Shadow tips over on GFaqs:

First page, anyway. Gets trolly pretty fast over there.

Damn you Geico, get out of my head!

Holy hell. He took that Atlas down really fast.

Guess I should give my Piranha more lovin' too


Also, I really like giving Phantoms a taste of their own medicine.

"How'd YOU like that sword in the back?"


One more thing, Kaz:

Regarding the GFaqs poster, it seems he took the a) Rank 4: Duration and b) the Rank 6: Bonus Power for TC, to better enhance what he mentions.

He mentions duration directly, while one of his combos (Boosted Electric Slash Spam) goes like this: cloak, ES, manually de-cloak, ES, repeat. I'm quite certain the ONLY way you could do that is with the Rank 6: Bonus Power evolution.

Oh shit, that was good!

Finally beat Platinum legit (no missile glitchers ruining the game) and of course it's a Geth Farming match. Eh... whatever. A win is a win. Hilariously enough the easiest objective in game (1, 2, 3, 4) is an absolute nightmare on Platinum. Hacks are 50/50, Eliminations are a godsend and escorting is always a pain in the ass.

Ha! While using the Reegar and Flamer at the same time, if your Flamer is long enough, he'll reload the Reegar (with one hand) and blast it again. Didn't know he'd do that. Hilarious.

Last night a commendation pack from Op Broadside popped up in my store. Thing is...I did not get an extract in gold for the N7 operation. I got a Crusader III and the AR gear bonus III from it.

Congrats, dude. My new personal best was Wave 5 (SO CLOSE TO SIX. Randoms, just use a FUCKING MISSILE) against Reapers on...Vancouver, I think. One of the new Earth maps.

Might be on tonight to give it another go. How rough was WGP? I've never been more sick of a map than I am White, but if it's pulling in that much money, I think I can stomach a bit.

@Ian - nice find on the Shadow tips. We'll get a platinum tonight, though I wonder if the time is worth the investment. Challenge yes...but I still need more equipment and gun upgrades to feel more platinum ready.

You got me all excited as I did do that extract on Gold but then found nothing in my store. Even went back to the main menu and all, no go.

Man that flamer is badass, bye bye Brutes.

We'll get there. I'm down for whatever.

Oh, and I actually love the Piranha now, by the way. A friend and I were chewing through Banshees with that rapid fire and Shredder mods. Takes the guaranteed mob-stagger that the Krysae has away from my Kroguard, but I feel like it has a bit more purpose to it overall.

i'd imagine so. the first time I used armor piercing ammo, stabiliy mod, and the turian solider...anything w/armor was getting cut in half w/the revenant.

Max payout is 130,000+ for 25 - 35 minutes of your time with decent randoms. It's challenging enough you'll need a team of dedicated farmers who when to stay put and know how to lag Banshees on counters. It's one thing to hear about it, but a whole other to see it in action. If they hadn't done it we probably wouldn't have cleared as most of the time/cobras spent dealing with them would have likely contributed to another wipe. They are by far the most threatening unit besides Phantoms, Hunters and Geth Turrets. Centurions, Atlas Mechs, Brutes and Pyros are a godsend. Enjoy the peace of mind those waves bring. Again, Banshees, Phantoms, Primes, Geth Turrets and Hunters are the most threatening units on the field. Prioritize them above all else.

The backyard behind the usual spawn point is more active than in Gold so you have to be aware of it if no one is camping outside. Equipment is still optional, but without it even my Harrier II wasn't pumping out enough damage. Third attempt (which is the one we cleared) I Lvl. 3 and 4'd that bitch out. I would advise only equipping gear in public games until your team proves themselves because there are too many Bronze/Silver players and Missile Glitchers clogging up the lobbies right now. Make sure you LEAVE lobbies with the latter afterward as playing with them for more than one game is a bannable offense.

Objectives are mostly hell regardless of who you bring with randoms. I don't recall us having a Infiltrator, but even if we did I doubt much would have changed as playing the role of a decoy is much more tasking due to the increased dps, shield regen and variety of the enemy. More often than not you'll need to buddy up with them for a change. If you're sitting on a fat stack of shield recharge consumables then this is the difficulty to burn them. Stick your head out for too long and you WILL be getting downed. Period. Point blank... don't venture into Plat if you're stingy with consumables and don't plan to revive decent players. You aren't welcome.

Also, hoard Cobra and Medi-gel if possible until Wave 6 at least, but don't be surprised if you reach Wave 10 and have to make a sacrifice chain reviving yourself around a hoard of Banshee, Prime or Phantoms to ensure the objective runner gets the job done. I had to do it then distract a Prime with Arc Grenade spam that was dry humping the objective runner. I stunned him long enough to get the cash. I was an N7 Demo with zero fitness and everything else maxed out for tech and fire explosions. Topped out with over 150k. She makes farming stupid easy.

There's a farming method to bang out Plats in 20 minutes with zero equipment, but since it requires actual teamwork and the DLC just came out it's going to be a long while before the community wises up. Overall on a good team Platinum is just Gold+. On a horrible team Platinum is off limits or gear only sessions.

I'd say it's worth the trouble once the community wises up. Guaranteed PSP and JEP. I can't argue with that but if I need quick cash I'll just take a Demo into a Gold Farming match. May take a minute or two longer if you're being careful, but much less effort required overall.

Thanks for the breakdown, man. Lookin' forward to trying some plats with you guys. We should try that Glacier strat.


Actually, I want to do this more. FOR TUCHANKA.

Double edit: Watched a few vids. Dagger's control room actually looks pretty good for some Platinum action. Especially with some Demolishers in there.

Valiant VI - woo hoo!

Got a Talon. Wasn't thrilled, but I equipped that bad boy with a scope and gave it to my Turian Sentinel and did some real damage. Felt like I was sniping with a shotgun.
