...Bloodlust stacking is ridiculous. Vorcha are the new most hated I am calling it right now. The only thing that could down me on Silver were Turrets. I can't wait to try this out on Gold.

so much for the overlay dissappointment...i mean.....that's awesome, i'm glad to hear you're actually enjoying something new w/the DLC! your reaction sounds like IanK's and mine when we discovered the beauty of the batarian melee on gold.

i'll see if i can jump on a few matches tonight and check it out.
 
[quote name='blueweltall']I am confuse isn't there suppose to be a rebellion pack in the store for a higher chance to obtain this new stuff?[/QUOTE]

they have them sometimes, i havent logged in since they made these available so i dont know if it's currently in. generally they also have a timer on special packs which can last afew days to a week.

otherwise, just spend them on spectre and premium spectre packs for the greatest of results.

Time will tell as I tend to get bored rather quickly, but for the moment it appears BioWare got the job done right with them. Both Bloodlust and Flamer abilities are Geth tier good. They have the best movement and evade in the game without question. Totally unexpected. Flamer is insanely versatile to the point where you can use it as cover fire (lulz) to guarantee revives or cancel it into a heavy melee then restart it for hilarious results. If you stack it with another Vorcha? LOL. You can stagger Banshees in place. The fact they gave the Soldier Carnage was completely unnecessary, haha.

People are definitely going to be complaining about them so enjoy it while lasts. I'm going to use my last respec card for a build with just three fitness or none at all because you're almost tanky enough to give Krogan Vanguards a run for their money when BL stacks w/ max fitness. The health regen is super fast if you spec for it and I've got a gear equip for shields I want to use.

I'm going to head to Gold next if I can find a quick game. I still haven't played on the new maps yet nor seen any new weapons in action aside from the new sniper and I wasn't paying any attention to it. My only gripe with the Vorcha is they don't talk enough. :cry:
 
Truth be told I would have lost if after a round mine said: "GAVORN NEXT!"

Ugh... so much potential lost. Thankfully they do utter "MONSTER!" every so often when you're fighting Reapers. Oh, and "YOU WEAK!" when you revive someone. They seriously need more lines because when the Vorcha call you ugly there can be no doubt.

Invited you to our gold runs today but you were "away" posting on CAG :p
 
...Really? My bad. I hosted one for a couple of minutes then decided to browse a bit and lost track of time. I told you guys I'm not always watching the screen/around when I get invites.

Did you get a chance to try out the Vorcha on Gold? If so what happened? Details!

Well because I'm so lucky, all I got in my two packs was the new shotty which I haven't tried. My friend had a vorcha though, and he was pretty much scampering around with his flamer. Didn't see him go down that much, but he did get some banshee love ;)
 
Ahh... that's sucks. I finally got in two Gold with Mr. GAVORN NO LIVE!. First game was a catastrophe because my team sucked and my Xbox froze on the second one. I'm glad he's much more high risk on Gold which will go along way to deterring the nerf bat for the time being. I just snagged the Carbine which I've seen tons of people doing work with so I might be able to make it work. I'm not fond of either of the two new maps though. Too large with way too many flank/spawn points to take into account IMO.
 
[quote name='dualedge2']So the Reegar Carbine and Krysae Sniper Rifle are Rare, but the Cerberus Harrier (full-auto Mattock) is N7 Rare? Bull.[/QUOTE]

if you've play(ed) as much as gotdott or IanK, you will likely X it in about a week...and this is before FGW. We did this on reactor w/cerberus.
 
I blew through my 200K + credits (hey, for me that's a lot :) ) and 240 ms points on a premium spectre pack but I got my Ex-Cerberus Vanguard. That and a shotgun amp were the only Rebellion specific items I unlocked.

The Ex-Cerb Vanguard is awesome! Now, I wouldn't charge into Gold with him, but it's silly-fun to biotic charge in, whip out a leash, blow off a few rounds from the shotgun, then charge back out. Slam is a solid biotic move in the same vein as throw. Nothing particularly special, but effective. The leash, while again is fun, has a slow wind-up animation that leaves you vulnerable for a second. But, that mini-shockwave + nova effect is pure badass.

I played a few rounds on Jade tonight, too. That's a nice map, but it sucks how the enemy can spawn all over the place. I felt like I spent as much time running looking for baddies as I did fighting. That won't be a problem on Gold, though. There are a couple of nice places to defend and hunker down and a few places good for grabs, too. It's really a mix where it can be close quarters, but it can also be good for long range sniping. Solid map. Official ChubbyNinja seal of approval.
 
When do the operation rewards usually go up? I promoted 3 level 20s before 5am MST on Monday.

Played a few on Goddess; decent map, I just have to learn the layout better.

generally between today and friday. unless they're having problems, then as late as the weekend thru tues...from my past experience.
 
new objective is great, I like they didn't hack squad it and actually added a visual item to pick up and animation that you're carrying a very large back pack which slows you down tremendously. you can use powers but nothing like Biotic Charge as you'll drop the "asset." It's kinda like CTF but at least you have a bit more freedom to use powers and shoot.

...new objective however is horrible if you're trying to deliver it to the landing pad in FGW w/out rocket support.
 
Agreed. The Krysae is f*cking TERRIBLE. Anyone who says different will get punched square in the right eye.

I'll let you keep the other intact... for now.

ME3 MP Fun Fact: The Krysae X does the exact same damage as a Black Widow IV.

BUFF ALL THE THINGS!

Oh, and the Reegar Carbine is absolutely ridiculous for Shotgun Infiltrators. I think I might have to retire my Claymore X especially for a male QI. I broke over 100,000 in a Gold pub without trying whilst running objectives and rez duty... on Firebase Goddess. Shredder + Barrel + AP III Ammo + Arc Grenade Spam = the offspring of Storm and Deadpool. I call him MELT YO FACE vas AWESOME.

Damn right. All from the Qwib-Qwib.
 
Dude, apparently with the Vorcha and Reegar Carbine, you can:

1.) Pull/hold trigger to fire Carbine.
2.) Hit bumper to fire Flamer. Continue step one.
3.) Effectively cross streams for maximum damage.

I'm at work all day, but you should try it if you have a sec. Sounds like it might wreck house.
 
i'm glad to see the rebel is pleased for the most part with the rebellion pack.

now...give me my Javellin I not another Saber III.

...never cross the streams. :shock:
 
...You honestly shouldn't have told me that Ian. You know I'm going to abuse the hell out of this information. My love for the Vorcha Soldier is one notch below 'unhealthy obsession' as it is. Now you're telling me I can bathe anything at in a cleansing beam of lightning and righteous fire at the same. damn. time. [/Future!]

Biotics be damned my Vorcha has Potter blood in him. Now we know where the Vorcha on Omega were going to; HOGWARTS.

just avoid the earwax and vomit jellybeans.

it seems the more inner beauty the race has, the more badass they are.

In that case... Yahg Juggernaut anyone? Make this happen BioWare and make sure it's free please. All Yahg come equipped with ME2 Revenants, Omni-Shields and a Rush attack that has 150% damage negated for players using N7 weapons or human and asari characters named "T'soni" or "Shepard."
 
[quote name='IanKazimer']Balance for the 30th:


Sabotage Power
- Evolution 6 bonus to tech power damage decreased from 100% to 50%




Yaaaaay.[/QUOTE]

it's okay, no one plays quarian engiees for that power anyway...ppl were probably abusing the tech bursts w/that making it as if not more affective than biotic explosions.
 
[quote name='IanKazimer']That power is BioWare's red-headed step child.[/QUOTE]

that's why it was most effective against synthetics...can't go to jail if you slap robots.

if they have a flamer i can see a cryo version of that coming soon.

how did you like the indra in action? I forgot to take cryo ammo w/me for added affect.
 
At least Sabotage is better than AI Hacking was in ME2. "Here, have a power that will be marginally useful in like three missions out of the entire game." Awesome!

Haha, I wasn't jealous. Looks like a fun way to shake things up though.

I'm counting the days to this inevitable Krysae nerf. I need to try it on my Geth sometime this week. I never expected to break 160k with a friggin Quarian. Must enjoy while it lasts!


Anyone get more time to mess around with the Phoenix Vanguard? I'm intrigued by him.
EDIT:

Totally missed your post, Ninja. Sounds pretty fun!

Shieldwall was a success! Packs dropping now. Tonight should be interesting.

Ian, see my Phoenix vanguard post on the previous page. I like him, but I think he's limited.

You can either punch me in the eye or maybe you guys are using it wrong? It's not terrible, I was running it on gold all morning with my SI. Energy drain and two shots takes out a phantom, one shot for anything else (other than an Atlas of course). It also takes no skill to use, a body shot, a shot to the knee will do the trick, no headshots necessary. The fact that it has splash damage is a plus, I was getting multikills across the map. It did seem a little weird at times and some shots didn't seem to register even though it wasn't blocked by anything, but I can't wait to X it (mine is still level 1).

Edit: So 6 premium packs and 3 spectre packs later and all I got was a Krysae I and a Reegar IV..no characters at all :(

:) We're kidding. The shit's good to a broken degree. I seriously put it above the GPS at it's current standing.

I feel you on the packs. Vorcha Soldier's the only new character I got. I think my damned Krysae and Carbine are both VI though.

Well the only train of thought I had today was, who needs biotic explosions when you can just pew pew Atlases and have phantoms explode. Phantom rain on phantom rain.
 
[quote name='IanKazimer']It's pretty beautiful. I noticed that if you time your shots, you can temporarily stun lock Primes with the damned thing.[/QUOTE]

i want one.
