Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

it's possible EA/Bioware through the community challenges gains some sort access to the PSN that Sony doesn't want, I don't see any other reason as to why they don't allow the community challenge otherwise.

Drell grenades warrants a map that allows you to replenish your reserves. I'll bring the Dinosaur.

I got the Asari Justicar last night as well, I we could always stack the bubbles, one offense one defense and see how that works out...just lower the volume on your tv. the biotic explosions might blow out your ear drums.
 
[quote name='100xp']new weapon I, compared to a lot of the standard and up wpns at V, VI, VII + don't usually perform as well or on par. If beating Gold/Enemy is the basis of your observation, yes...some classes/races/wpns don't perform as efficiently as others. Bronze and Silver? For sheer fun factor, the Batarian soldier which I loathed upon receiving first...I'm having a blast with on all difficulties and enemies.

I've gotten the Salarian Engineer and Drell Adept at least a dozen times, so I share your frustration.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you're right. I usually try to play Silver minimum, just to get my characters to a level capable of Gold.

I guess in Bronze, those would be a lot of fun.
 
Strange stuff going on late last night (or really early this morning).

So I'm in a game with Dualedge and he's the leader. He gets booted and it restarts the wave. He told me in a message that it was because the game wanted to install a patch. That was weird because it didn't happen to me. So the wave (a hacking/data upload one) restarts and I'm the only one in there! I have never had that happen. I hunkered down in the upload area and got it done, but then was swarmed by too many Geth Pyros and Hunters to survive the entire wave. That was pretty intense though.

So then I try to rejoin Dualedge and it won't let me because our patches are out of sync. I quit and restarted the game 2 or 3 times and it didn't patch. OK, so I decide to buy a Premium Spectre pack: got both Geth, so that was pretty awesome. I went in to some random matches with the Geth Engineer. I'm not really into the sniper thing so I passed on the Infiltrator for now. But I love playing as the Geth Engineer. I maxed out my turret and am working on the Hunter Mode now. Combine that with a little overload and he's pretty damn good, especially against other Geth. I love being able to see the enemies behind cover - makes it much easier for me not to get trapped in an area by myself with too many enemies which is usually how I ended up dying before. I can even sneak up behind them and throw a flamethrower turret out on them and pound them with overload and my assault rifle. My kill percentage has gone way up since I switched to this guy. The only thing I don't like about Hunter mode are the white lines all over the screen. It makes it hard to see objective markers (hacking nodes, critical personnel, etc), especially when on the move. I usually have to sit still and scan the screen for them which isn't always practical.

Finally, about 3 or 4 games later I get kicked out so that the game can patch. This was like an hour later than Dualedge - how strange... Anyway, then I was freaked out a bit because when I started up the game it froze (such that I had to turn the system off) at exactly the same point 3 times in a row. It was when starting up and connecting to the EA servers. I thought for sure the patch had nerfed my game. But then just as I was about to remove it and try reinstalling it worked.

Anyway, glad to get the 2 Geth from one Premium pack especially as I had wasted 120,000 on two Spectre packs after the DLC was out but before they added the new classes.

I just really need weapon upgrades. I'm still stuck with the initial assault rifle/pistol both at level 3. It has been a long time since I got an upgrade or new weapon in those catagories. And I have yet to get a single modification for the pistol.

I also see people talking about "respec" cards or something? I guess this is something you pull at random? I have yet to see one of those either. I'm guessing these let you redistribute your skill points? For the most part I'm happy with the paths I've chosen for my chars. I usually leave the "general" ones (the two at the bottom - fitness and whatever) pretty low and go for the powers upgrades.

Once I get this Geth Engineer a bit higher-level I'd like to try some Silver maps. I'd really like to pull a few better weapons first though.

I'd suggest buying a bunch of 5k recruit packs to get weapon upgrades and mod upgrades for the basic weapons. There are a few uncommon (silver) mods but I don't *think* I've seen any gold mods but y'all can correct me if I'm wrong.

I've bought several reg. and premium spectre packs and only got the harpoon gun to speak of (well and a +ammo and carn IV) - haven't tried the gun but it doesn't look like my style - I'll try it eventually just for fun though. My nephew got the kroguard and we played a couple games with it on bronze since he was like lvl 5 with it. Seemed pretty cool. Played a silver with a justicar and that bubble seems pretty cool - I think they'd spec'd it as defensive.

I would recommend buying recruit packs until all your basic loadouts for each slot are maxed out, then move on to veterans and then spectre packs. I was able to max out everything 2 weeks after launch by doing this. The skill resets are "rare" and usually come from the spectre packs.

Leaving fitness low is good prep for when you start playing gold since your shields go down so fast a maxed fitness doesn't really make much of a difference.
 
I was playing the new DLC maps fine last night. Just tried playing now and it came up with a new patch. Now the game wont go past the Connecting screen before the 360 locks up completely. Tried 4x and it locked-up each time.

Anyone else having this issue?

I saw something about this on BSN. People were saying that it's an incompatibility with the N7 Warfare Gear (Gamestop preorder DLC), and if you delete that from your HDD you should be able to start the game.

I know my post was kind of long, but I had the same thing happen last night after patching and posted it is on this very same page, not to mention quoted by the guy just above you ;). It locked up on me 3 times at the "Connecting to EA servers" screen but then it just worked the 4th time.

I don't have the Gamestop preorder gear by the way. In any case, it sounds like they need to patch the patch ASAP!

As for the weapon upgrades, I had been buying Recruit packs pretty consistently. It seems all I get are consumables and shotgun/sniper mods (when I need assault rifle/pistol ones). But I'll keep at it.

Game locked up on me 4 times in a row. Restarted 4 times and finally gave up.
 
How are people getting all this new stuff? Remember I only causally like the game so I havent read any blogs and what not.

Geth player char? Me want one!
 
I just came on here to see if others are having the issue. Looks like I'm not the only on. 4 times then I said the hell with it.

That's the Argus Assault rifle I believe. I do have that. I guess I'm the only one who was able to get the game to work after having it lock up? I'll have to see how it behaves tonight.

I was going to ask if that weapon was in the multiplayer anywhere because it is awesome in single-player. It hits hard and tears things up. The default assault rifle feels like I'm shooting peas in comparison. But I'm guessing it is not available.

Don't think I ever used it. Hell I'm not even sure if I used the code now that I think about it. As for this lock up I looked on x36a.org and seems like others are having issues on that site as well.
 
Well there was bound to be a bump in the road eventually. After all everything else about the launch has gone so smoothly. :roll:

Glad I'm done playing this game for the time being, I think I may just check out until June when the free DLC is coming.
 
I'm surprised that I like the multiplayer so much. I've only ever played a handful of games online. The last one I spent any appreciable amount of time on was Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the PS2. Yeah, that was a while ago. I think the last 360 game I played online was Beautiful Katamari ;). Before that it was Chromehounds with some people on CAG.

But I am really enjoying the multiplayer on ME3. I guess part of it is that it is coop. I really dislike P vs. P, though SW Battlefront was that in a sense (though you were on a team). After playing this, though, I'd like any future Battlefront game to include a pure coop mode as well.

And even though the missions are pretty much the same every time, I do like trying out the different classes. I got into a rut of being a Vanguard throughout all 3 single player campaigns so it is nice to try different stuff, not to mention being some of the cool races from the game (in particular Geth). And the way they dole out the additional characters and upgrades through the packs, while annoying in one sense, also kind of keeps you playing. If it was all there from the beginning or just purchasable I probably wouldn't have kept playing so long.

For all I know there are lots of other games that handle multiplayer this way. I just never tried any of them out. Some of it has to do with enjoying the single-player game so much. I'd be hesitant to go into most other multiplayer games fearing I wouldn't be anywhere close to good enough. Granted, the multiplayer here did have a learning curve as I was so used to pausing and selecting powers in single player. But at least it wasn't totally foreign to me (as something like Halo is) - I was familiar with the combat and all the enemy types at least. I also much prefer third-person to first-person (which just makes me dizzy and I feel like I can't look around as easily) so that rules out a lot of games for me. Anyways, it is finally nice to make use of that Gold membership - it has been pretty much a waste up to this point (despite getting my membership dirt cheap thanks to CAG).

I'm a fan of co-op multiplayer - just don't play much vs anymore. Only real multi I did with mw3 was the co-op stuff with my nephew. Also had a blast going through borderlands many, many times over with my nephew. Put in hundreds of hours in that game. Lots of farmory runs. The random loot drops kept me going sorta like the random packs in me3 multi.

Ah, yes, Borderlands. That is one I could have done I suppose as I did enjoy that game too. In fact, with the cheap digital PS3 version ($15 I think for the game + all DLC via PS+) and having 2 PS3's in the house I was trying to get my son to play it with me. But since he's become a huge Xbox 360 fanboy (seriously, worse than anyone I've ever seen on CAG) he didn't really want to play it with me. I would love to play ME3 coop with him but as I said earlier EA deems that his account cannot play online (as I was honest with his age when setting it up - huge mistake). It's too bad because he would kick ass - he is far, far better than me at any shooters. He's 12 by the way...
 
OK so here is my new fave.

Geth Infiltrator + Max Damage Hunter Mode with Geth Weapon Buff + Geth SMG + Extended Clip + Improved Heat Sink + Armor Piercing Ammo = fucking Nuts!! it has 180 Round Clip, shoots fast as all holy hell, and has a 50/50 chance pretty much to not use a "bullet" when it fires, i have hosed down an Atlas and Brute in Bronze on ONE clip. Accurate as hell, headshots like a madman. I had 50 headshots and 75 SMG kills in one map lol.... try it out it is sick.
 
The Argus is pretty good with the a recoil mod and/or fired from cover (otherwise it become an AA gun).
Weighs about the same as the Revenant, has slightly more ammo and damage of the Vindicator.


Modded Geth SMG

Went nuts with it earlier.
Love it when the gun gets stuck on a number and it doesn't go down for a good 10 seconds.

It's like using the Tempest with the Turian Soldier but not having to worry about Marksman running out.

Speaking of which, wonder how much faster it will be when he uses it?
 
I'm really digging the Hydra map. Got my first extraction with nobody going down, first time playing on that map! Great combo of open vulnerability/clear shot across the map AND close quarters on two sides of the map. Condor is just okay, gonna need to play that one some more to get comfortable.

I got a couple spectre packs, but didn't unlock any new characters other than an Asari Adept. Not a big deal because all I'm truly interested in is that Krogan Vanguard.
 
Friend said he was pissed as his 360 was freezing up on him when he was trying to load the game. I had no problem thankfully. I've got my game installed to the hard drive fyi. Is it me, or maybe I suck at it, but I would think there would be some sort of stickiness to when a Krogan charges and melees an enemy. Yet I just go right on by and the enemy melees me!? WTF!
 
The krogan charges a certain distance before meleeing. Sometimes, enemies are within the charging phase and you go by.

Or the charge has to be fairly pinpoint on the enemies' hitbox.
 
[quote name='Soodmeg']Glitch on Hydra is fucking hilarious. I solo most of gold because of it.[/QUOTE]

Wait, what's the glitch?

Also, Freemason, what's special about the Geth Infiltrator with Hunter mode vs the Geth Engineer doing the same? Can you cloak during all that as well? I'll have to look into your weapon loadout - I probably don't have the Geth SMG though. I love having the turret though. I took down a Brute much more easily than before while it was busy messing with my turret.

I played a few rounds this evening - had no trouble with the game starting up tonight vs. last night when it froze 3 times in a row.

MUAHAHAHAAHAH :booty::booty:

Thats the how funny the glitch its.

1. Infinite lives...as soon as you die you instant respawn back at the starting point.
2. virtually impossible to be hit by any attacks from anyone including Banshee attacks..if you do get hit and die...see number 1
3. If you are powers based can not lose a round unless you leave said glitch as you dont need to get ammo ever.


It sucks if you have to leave to do objectives...but anything other than that its gravy....if you have someone who can cloak they can run around the level doing objective while everyone else stays in the glitch and kills things. Only drawback is that some enemies dont view you as in the map so they just stand there and never move so you got to bait them out.


Instant win every time....I farmed the shit out of a lot of things today.
 
OK, but how do you get to it? All I can find is something about floating at the extraction point and someone responding that it is the "Vanguard" glitch. I've played that map many times and certainly died many times as well so clearly I didn't hit that glitch by chance ;).
 
Uhhh......pfffttbdasdf. I suck at explaining things although you could have hit it by chance.

Directly opposite of the entry point in the back right hand corner...there is a very big box sitting diagonal against the point where both walls meet. Behind this box is a ramp that looks like part of the back round goes up a wise then back down then up sharply again. With the glitch you can either stand behind that box is is so tall no one can hit you or run up the ramp in the background and hide where it dips down sharply.

To get into you have to go up the ramp that is under the bridge in the middle of the map. If you are on the right ramp going left will walk back toward the entry point going right will send you towards the box and ramp glitch that I described. Turn right...now if you noticed the deck that you are on stops after a couple of in game feet and you can walk off it. (if you do this the bridge will be to your right as well as the entry way to the ramp for the deck you were just on) If you stand at the edge of the ramp (instead of walking off) you dash (double A) towards the pipe that is running from that deck to the big box you will glitch on top of it and be able to run and get behind the box or up the background ramp.

Takes a little timing but it isnt to hard. Now once you are over there if you go to far you will fall out of the map and instantly appear at the entry zone. If you die while in the glitch you will fall through the map and instantly appear at the entry zone. You can be revived while you are in it though.

Hope that helps....good luck with that description...hopefully a video will be up soon from someone. Or maybe I can play with someone here and show them.

looking back, I do recall ME2 and recently ME3 locking up my xbox the most. I even Red ringed once on ME2 with the a jasper red xbox fatboy once. All was silent for a moment in the world but it recovered forunately.

ME3 MP just reminds me of KOTOR, I mentioned it many many posts earlier. It'll be the closest we'll get for something starwars like without having to pay a monthly sub for a while.

No purple dinosaur last night, had so much to do before hand. Wasn't able to jump on til late, and then I was immediately scooped up by Gears.

SP related question
I know some side missions have somewhat of a timer on it, i.e. cerberus N7, if you don't address them within a few mass relay jumps they're no long available. I'm between finding the bomb and curing the genophage but I want to clean up some more side quests before they no longer become available. Is there something that happens if I go do everything else right now? I have some artifacts to find (map marker pulsing) and there's some krogan scouts I want to save.

[quote name='Spybreak8']Yeah I think the hitboxes need tweaking.[/QUOTE]

When charging, ALWAYS roll your stick toward your intended target before you charge. I have found that the Krogan have a conical kind of target for their hitbox in front of them and if you start before they are in the cone you will have no "stickyness" but if you get lined up and then charge, they will move at them while swinging. I have actually gotten used to sprinting into the charge, you seem to get more range and a better "lock" onto whatever you are running into. It takes some getting used to but once you get a feel for it it's Clobberin Time!! My Krogan Sentinel is Melee focused with tank build and he is pretty beasty with a Geth Shotty IX with bayonet

Hmm thanks I'll have to try that out. I did notice that some times it works some times it doesn't. I had one match where I was missing them and the damn enemy would just melee me and a few hits and I'm down lol.

Ok so I've got another question. When you unlock a new character I've noticed you don't always start at level 1 with them. I actually started with level 15 with my Geth Infiltrator and my friend said he started at level 20 with the Sentinel he unlocked. Does that take the previous XP you earned and applies that to the new unlocked class!?

Whatever your current highest character is for a class carries over to all the characters in the class until you promote
 
also - if you say just promoted a char and you'd think they'd start at lvl 1 but if you get a char card for that type from a pack it'll give you the xp bonus and so they'll be up at lvl 3 or 5 I think it is

I haven't had a chance to play in a couple days - watched Warrior last night with my wife though and that was a pretty good movie - itching to try out some of the new characters!

[/QUOTE]In regards to that:

Curing the genophage is a "boot you into the next act" event, so don't do that until you've done all of your side quests. You can find the bomb and deal with it without being forced forward.

If you're at that point, I'd do the quest with the Krogan scouts, mainly because it's an excellent mission with great combat and great moments inside of it. If you have any other side missions or N7 missions, do them before you do the Krogan scouts mission and after the scouts missions, do the rest on Tuchanka.

Since I've been using Liara and Garrus most of the time, they've been using Warp Ammo and AP ammo respectively, which has also been helping.

Once I get Energy Drain available to me, I'll swap out the AP ammo for that and use it instead.

[quote name='IanKazimer']I always ran Disruptor/Warp across the party to eat dem barriers and shields in SP. Liara/James is a good time crossfiring Warp and Incendiary too.[/QUOTE]Good choices on both options.
 
I've been running Defense Matrix and AR, Energy Drain is on the list. Nothing wrong with 2 ways to replenish your shields to 100% with a press of a button. I went for mostly shooting on this run. I wish I could change classes when you import, I really wanted to try out a adept without having to refind and acquire all my wpn upgrades and assets.
 
XP (and anyone else interested), if you're around tonight, my buddy from work and I might try to run some golds. I need moar packz. Gotta get my dinosaur.
