Mass Effect 3Follow

I keep finding myself in games where people are picking Firebase Dagger and Cerberus, forgoing the XP bonuses from both the random type and random enemy. It's kinda annoying.

Since I started the multiplayer, I haven't even been interested in single player any longer. I have 3 characters now at 20 ready to promote. probably have a 4th by tomorrow evening when this new event begins. I won't promote the Soldier most likely as that's what my 1st playthrough is. So far for me I've unlocked the Turian Sentinel, Drell adept, Salarian Engineer, and the Quarian Infiltrator. The Turian, Drell, and Salarian will be 20 before this weekends challenge is over, so I'll probably promote all 3 of them.

BTW, I'm on XBox, SundaKastigir is my gamertag.

No, that's what I was thinking of. Guess not then. Kinda unfortunate. I get WHY they don't do it (so you can't cater your bonuses and gear to the enemy and still get the random bonus), but it's still annoying.

Me too! I have been playing a couple rounds of multi-player here and there between other games most nights. Who would have thunk the multi-player addon for a single player RPG franchise would have turned out to be so much fun.

I know I was skeptical when they first announced it.

I just made it to wave 7 Gold Cerebus. Holy crap is gold rough. Like 5 Atlas on round 4, on round 7 we died because their were like 6 freaking phantoms. If you think they hurt on bronze or silver on gold they are real ultimate power.

I promoted Adept, Soldier, and Infiltrator so far this weekend. Been mostly playing my guys up to about 12-14 in bronze then switching to silver. My goal was to promote my entire squad but I dunno if I will make it since I spent a goodly part of yesterday BBQing at my bro's. Silver is starting to seem not so bad and bronze is just gravy at any level now. But I think that has to do with getting level 2-3 versions of my favorite weapons.

I just buy spectre packs. Since I started doing that I finally got upgrades for my GPS, Carnifax, and Widow. I have bought a couple supply packs too. It's nice having lots of medgels and rockets. In fact I got an upgrade that lets me carry more rockets and more medgels from spectre packs as well.

Omg, omg, omg. I'm on 7 gold now (note what that means).

2 of our members left on wave 1, and I've been dead for most of the match. But I'm just watching this Salarian infiltrator. He's AMAZING. 7 waves of him pretty much killing everything. He has over 100k points right now. He's hit all the nodes on his own (in the middle of a battlefield).

Granted, I don't think any other class could do this, because of Tactical Cloak, but still. It's insane to watch. I'm going to get like nothing for this match, because I've spent the whole thing dead, but no way I'm leaving.

Seems to be clear, also, that the Black Widow is infinitely superior to every other sniper rifle.

And I thought it was impressive watching my roommate Vanguard solo nearly an entire bronze mission.

And with all 6 squads promoted, done. Shew. Hopefully we all get some nice shinies and now I need to watch some TV and chill out for a bit. Also I must now make tacos. Mmmm tacos.

I promoted my Soldier & Adept. I took some time off from my Asari Adept & played my Human Adept. With perks, I can get the Disciple Shotgun down to +30% or so on weight. Combine that with Shield Passives, and I can pretty much zip around zolo using charge into nova, with no wait into the next charge. Its tons of fun, but by squadmates were quite vocal via their microphones that I was "stealing" their kills.

75+ kills, 75 biotic kills, 1st place, 190K points on bronze. Good times!

I usually don't rez them after the second time they do that.

I think you should actually play the game before getting mad about the ending Maz. The journey is epic and the ending leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I'm not saying the ending as it is now is great. But the other 98% of the game was fantastic. And the theories the community have come up with about the ending are pretty neat.

Back to multiplayer talk:

Yup most vangaurds are really annoying. Charging around and nova spamming everything is fine on bronze (though annoying as hell to your team) But that does not really fly in silver or above. As part of my goal to promote every squad I was dreading vangaurd. I decided to use my Asari after level 14 or so when I started doing silver. I gave her a Geth Plasma shotty and a Carnifax. I could have played her like my adept and just been stasis spammer but decided to go heavy load out so she was not too biotic.

Worked out good. I used charge defensively rather than offensively in case someone had something on top of them or I need to get across the map, just mixing in some stasis.

This. I'm still only about halfway done, because I've been making an effort to split my free time between numerous things (and all time with ME3 this weekend was MP). But this is pretty much the line I've heard from every person who didn't like the ending. I haven't seen it all, but I have to say that the journey to the point I'm at has probably been the most epic gaming experience I have had.

I think something it is really important to note is that a lot of the plot threads are finished up as you go, not with the ending. We all expected endings that would vary wildly according to our choices, and I don't think that's unfair. The plot varies some, according to how many readiness points you earn, and according to one specific paragon/renegade choice (that you don't make if you don't import a ME2 save). Definitely fair to want something else, but for the most part the plot threads existing from old games and the lore are very tidily finished, and with pretty interesting options on the player's part that will go back to your choices for the last two games.

And just remember. Playing the game will get you some Thresher Maw vs. Reaper action...



I have seen some solid Vanguards, who knew when to charge and when not to (and actually bothered to load something other than a shotgun, so they weren't useless when in medium range). But the problem of screen shaking persists. I was in a group with 2 Vanguards and 2 Infiltrators. It just wasn't fun for the 2 of us, because we could barely line up shots--the screen was always shaking.

Are they following a weekend focused on reducing your squad levels with a weekend that encourages high-level squads?

Evil geniuses.
