It is in those situations you just toss the missile straight away. Collectors are definately a hack objective nightmare, although the same can be said about Cerberus lately. Those Dragoons really made Cerberus games interesting, but sheesh, it is like fighting a swarm of Phantom and Dragoons at times.

**Nerraw** · 2012-10-11, 05:26 PM

Oh yeah, and it was with 2x Salarian Infiltrator, an N7 Shadow, and a biotic god.

Fuck yeah lose connection to the ea servers halfway through wave 11!

**Yuanrang** · 2012-10-11, 05:54 PM

Myeah, everything went down for me too. Urgh.

Luckily I finished the gold pug though, I just hope the credits got stored or more importantly, the experience. The faster I can relevel to 20, the faster I can do that last gold solo for Lone Wolf. Or the Silver or Bronze one, either works. <_<

I find dragon's worse then phantoms because for some reason I always miss dragon's until they start lashing me. Phantoms never seem to sneak up on me though. Collectors I don't really find do difficult. The swarms are just annoying and the rest is pretty easy to deal with. Even the possessed collectors die pretty easily though I've only done them on silver and I'm sure gold is 100 times worse.

The only thing I forget on collector is the one that shoots the 10 grenades but lately I've been playing my destroyer and it is only a problem if I'm low health with no shields.

**Yuanrang** · 2012-10-11, 06:54 PM

Phantoms are not particularily dangerous. They are deadly, but they do not zerg. They can be flipped away or turned immobile while they shield themselves, plus they often go to cover.

A dragoon is no real problem either, the problem is that they come in packs. Now, that is usually not a problem if you can CC them or nuke them fast enough (assuming you spot them before they silently sneak up on you). The problem starts with they come in groups that has Phantoms in it. They all move the same, but then you start "I got to to kill the Phantom in case of Synch-kill" and well, it is the most deadly up close, but then the Dragoons Smash spam you into a stunlock that actually either bleeds you dry of consumables OR set you up for the Synch.

Collectors are okay. They are a handful, but mostly because teams don't know how to handle them that well. Most of those units are easily manageable.

Getting swarmed by 4 Preatorians on a gold hack is gay.
Also swarms of Possesed Scions spamming nades all over the map

**Gravath** · 2012-10-11, 07:36 PM

Anyone have any idea why some achievements shows up on this new N7 HQ page as locked when i can clearly see them as unlocked under Extras in the game?

Mostly.
Then theres Hijacker and the two insanity achievements.
Im not thrilled about it.

**Yuanrang** · 2012-10-11, 07:51 PM

Well, it is new and there are some issues related to it. They said they were working on the DLC bug, so that might fix the other achievements. If you see the DLC achievements being fixed though, I would probably contact BioWare directly to help.

**Gravath** · 2012-10-11, 08:22 PM

Good.
Then i can stop bashing my head against insanity banshees and Cerberus grenade abuse.

Could be a delay in updates. The whole EA backend went down earlier when some of us had problems. I was on TS with a couple of friends who were playing BF3 at the time, and everything was unavailable to them as well for a bit.

A multi-month delay.
Thats cute, even for EA.

Speaking of which.
You know what i would love for ME4?
A sarcastic bastard MC a la Snarky Hawke.
That was pure gold that sadly was missing in ME.

Oh, that far back.

**Yuanrang** · 2012-10-11, 11:02 PM

Got my Lone Wolf banner. \o/

**Myobi** · 2012-10-12, 03:39 AM

I really cba with multiplayer anymore, not until they somehow "fix" dat shit...

Srly it really needs a rework, the entire damn thing. Starting with the over 9000 loadings you need to trough until you join a game, it sucks, especially since you already know that won’t take much time to get disconnected and go through them all over again…. and again….

Dat server system… EA/Bioware won’t host my server, okay, understandable ~ but, why the hell can’t I get my own proper dedicated server to play at? Why can’t I reconnect to the server that randomly disconnected after 20minutes of playing? Why the hell are the freaking games so unstable? How the hell can I avoid high ping server? Just too bloody random…

**Sekira** · 2012-10-12, 08:13 AM

You can host a game, if you create it you are the host, you'll get zero lag.

There is always a host, if he leave you'll get a loading screen while the server relocate a new host and restart from the previous wave (they changed that I think though).

When joining a game, you'll join the lowest ping game meeting your criteria, obviously as the number of player drop, and if your criteria is very restrictive you may end up joining a high ping game.

**Nerraw** · 2012-10-12, 08:19 AM

I can't host anything for most games, my router is being quite adamant in it's security protocols. Haven't been able to do anything about it yet. Muzual can testify to it. >.<

I had the same problem for years with my netgear router, couldn't host in warcraft 3/starcraft ect...

Had to do with port forwarding.

**Nerraw** · 2012-10-12, 08:32 AM

Worked for me in the beginning, but it doesn't seem to recognize forwarding anymore.
