[quote name='gotdott']I don't see how it's a change in variety when you're playing bronze and then taking additional objectives for a gold payout rather than just playing gold[/QUOTE]

Granted but I'm basically cloaking and running around the map not taking out any enemies, focusing on just objective hackings.

It's like playing Geometry Wars 2's Pacifism mode hehe.
 
We'll getchu back up there, Got.

I'm about ready for some more Buttsoldier Falcon Pawnching. I actually ended up re-speccing the Buttinal without Blade Armor. All Shockwave and Net to allow detonations and fake Stasis. It's pretty much the only build I've appreciated with him so far, just need some synergy to make it work.

Like ten people have seen me playing Drell Adept and switched to their Justicar to try to team up. While I appreciate the sentiment, not nearly enough of them realize that they're essentially the same character and thus can't detonate well at all.
 
I'm so off, everything feels so awkward and clunky. Not sure if it's because I'm playing on a different TV (my old one was a 20 in) or because I haven't played in 2 weeks (I tried to toggle the left stick to sprint lol..). Definitely not a good idea to start on gold.
 
[quote name='IanKazimer']I knew this day would come.[/QUOTE]

I prefer my low level geth plasma shotgun though, how a shotgun fires almost like a sniper rifle...the claymore in the hands of a krogan vanguard is charge, falconpwnch, shot gun, dead target.

i'm still weighing the pros and cons of MP your buds, while we've been getting through gold maps (random everything) w/unconvential squads of varying levels the constant disharmony & chatter between the 2 is almost like having the banshee screeching in my comms on loop.

:lol: That's how I felt after coming back to ME3 after playing some other FPS. If you want to play later I am totally game for it.
 
Finally got my Defender achievement last night. I would usually get to high 80's or Low 90's and then couldn't play for a few days so i took a bit longer than i thought.

Not to mention I have had a horrible time getting anything good to unlock. I have such shit weapons its not even funny. Thankfully I have been playing as an Adept and never even fire my crappy level 1 pistola.

Haha yeah was in a game the other night with a guy who was in my friend's party who was using the Kinect for his voice coummica. Damn picked up all the family noise in the background like his wife washing and clanking the dishes, augh.

no...this is far worse. these two guys, while solid ME3 MP players love to debate over things. both guys are firm on their POV and try to convince each other to see it their way...i've played with them numerous times to know they only see black and white on things they disagree on, and they tend to disagree on a lot of things. Perhaps if they spoke like Admiral Hackett and Vega it'd be fine but they do not. So is the price to pay for credits.

It's like listening to Red vs. Blue but not as entertaining and without visuals.

Solid ME3 MP...otherwise.
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the M-6 Carnifex with a scope is beast. It's got shotgun power at sniper range but extremely lightweight. Perfect compliment for Adepts and Vanguards that aren't going to aggro the whole time. I don't think I've played with anyone from CAG yet, but I'm down to play anytime.

Yeah, I like playing with just Jelks, but when that other dude's around it's a nightmare. Bad jokes and debate for days. Hoping that my friend from back home (Lively) gets into it. He's a pretty chill dude.

I'm with you on the Geth Plasma Shotgun. I swear by that gun. It's a pretty good fit for any class. Been loving it on my Geth Engie. People keep telling me to try the Graal, but I love being able to kill shit across the map with the GPS.

I'm digging the Disciple X on my Battlemaster. Actually gives +200% cooldown, and the thing pretty consistently staggers. I've got a flowchart for how to deal with pyros in gold now, and those guys tend to be more of a problem for me than most in close quarters.

it's rough nowadays, going from Reach > Gears > ME3 > League of Legends back to ME3 and Gears. I'm like...why won't this reload? I was spamming revive! no charge up for bash? wtf?

we do miss playing with you and bashing your teammates. I find myself calling out phantom and atlas more...while they're arguing over which smg is more effective and which mods to use. It's an SMG! point, shoot, tech/biotic.

yeah, jelks is pretty chill and without the others is fun to play with. the other guys? once they're all in the same XBLP, it's nonstop ear bleeding debates over trivial @#$%. who has such convictions over the reload speed/rof over a flipping gun?

The graal is great but so far every charge up wpn has had great results, some are just better for your playstyle than others. Harpoon gun? Awesome, hate it for my infiltrator though...great for every other class i've played.

sad they nerfed the falcon only to make the krogan AR basically a cooler version of the falcon. it's funny though, the RoF on the falcon is the appropriate RoF you should be using to achieve maximum CC...I just like the option of spamming when it was spammable.

...the Javelin is the last item that exludes me. I will have you...soon.
 
Since I'm appearing to be the only person still chewing through the SP portion of the game, I continue to be impressed over and over again about the larger-scale missions in the game.

Been through the
Ardat-Yakshi monastery, the Geth dreadnaught and the missions on Rannoch. All of them have been pretty impressive for level design and filling in backstory, plus the combat's been pretty good.

Any of the missions where the flashlight comes out due to the dark environment have been especially good since it adds some good tension to the mission.

The Geth dreadnaught was pretty good in the end section where you're fighting your way up the main cannon. Though, as I wonder about that mission, why do the geth need ladders in their ships and bases?

Rannoch missions were extremely good, and the dialogue with Tali and Legion were some of the best in the game. Especially Legion's dialogue, right up until he gave his life for the geth once I managed to broker peace between them. From what I've seen in how this one went down for that being an option, doing it on my Renegade run might be more of an issue due to some different choices I made in ME2.

And yes, I see all the complaints about Tali's picture. Could've been so much better than what it was.

40-something hours into the game and I keep enjoying the ride so far. Changed weapons around for my Vanguard to SMG (Tempest + Ultralight materials + heat sink) and pistol (Carnifex + scope + extended mag) to keep the recharge percentage at +200%. Which brings up the point, if I have other bonuses from armor for power recharges, can that be boosted past +200%?
 
haha...I'm still juggling SP, on my PT1 import still, I just keep getting invites for ME3 MP.

my shep is such a whore, I was saving the romance option for Tali to rekindle the flame but Liara gave me the option to make first contact with some blue booty...how could I resist? Tali will have to wait til PT2 insanity.

I don't think you can get over 200% recharge. At least it doesn't state it...I suppose wearing all your recharge armor and checking the CD of one of your powers in and out of combat would be an indication if you can stack recharge past 200%.

I thought the missions on Rannoch were absolutely stunning. The visuals during that Reaper fight are damned near the first things I bring up while talking about this game. Loved getting more Geth background out of Legion's Q-bert level too.

I ran Renegade through the trilogy, and some cards didn't fall into their ideal places. I ended up unable to broker peace between the two, but the illuminations I got from Legion made my choice pretty clear. I actually kinda like how things turned out. Made me really feel the choice/consequence.

Did you keep Samara around in ME2? I ended up allowing Morinth to kill her, so I didn't get to see her in the Monastery level. I plan on doing a Paragon trilogy playthrough someday though, so I'll get to it eventually.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about overclocking the cooldowns. I would imagine that +200% is a hardcap, but I have no real evidence for either side of the argument.
 
Rannoch:

My main complaint was the targetting laser "fight".

I died many times because I refused to accept that the best way to win was to spam "roll".

Been good stuff so far.

My blue booty expedition will have to wait for femShep Renegade Adept who romanced Liara in ME1 and stayed loyal to her in ME2 without a LI.

The reason I asked about the recharge percentage is that I have a couple of armor pieces that decrease recharge time and if I'm maxed out at 200% via low weight, I might as well switch those out for other armor pieces that give other options.

you figure you wear the recharge right armor if you opt'd for the other training spec (vs. decreased weight)

I have 2 more PT's in me I think, Biotic angry femshep, and PT2 import/insanity soldier shep...we'll see maybe i'll opt to play angry adept fem shep on insanity next., Diablo 15th is only a month away.

Forgot about the geth consensus mission, which was a whole lot of weird though great backstory info. Still liked it because it was so odd, though was a nice change of pace and a little bit of nod back to Overlord.

The Reaper end battle was great, once I figured out how to do it, which cheapened it a little bit because of how it was. The end conversation with the Reaper was some good stuff as well.

There are some pre-set rules on how to broker peace between the geth and Quarians (it's in the guide and probably all over the Internet as well), and you can still do it if you Renegade your way through ME2, as long as you made one choice about the heretic geth and how you handled some items in ME2 and ME3. I'll see how it goes on PT2.

And yes, I did have Samara still around from ME2, and that's what made the monastery mission pretty good. Especially the commentary afterwards. Not sure how it would play with Morinth still in the picture, though that might be for another time.

Guess I'll have to check some CD times with and without the armor pieces in question to see if it's hard-cap or not.

I like how you beat a Reaper by rolling side to side, but a final boss fight was deemed "too video gamey" by Casey Hudson. Not knocking killing the Reaper on Rannoch, I thought it was one of the best moments of the entire trilogy, but come on. Dodging death rays with combat rolls and dropping a slow motion orbital rain of death on a mother fucker isn't "too video gamey?"

Ugh, that term still pisses me off.

Rannoch:
Yeah, I actually tracked down how those points worked when things went sour for me. I was missing ONE. Since the very act of keeping Legion is Paragon, that didn't help me have enough renegade points to shut up he and Tali during their argument on the Normandy. I also rewrote them instead of destroying them. Really, my Geth soft spot ended up doing me in. Always next time!

[/QUOTE]Speaking of that:
From what I remember of my Renegade run, I saved Legion from Cerberbus (too useful of an asset), both Legion and Tali were loyal, Tali wasn't exiled, I destroyed the heretics. I think all of that alone is enough to cover that being an option, plus the full bar of Reputation, of course. If you save the heretics and reprogram them, I think you still have enough with the above items, though if you do the geth fighter base mission, it adds into the peace being an option.

The guide ranks out the possible items and puts point weighting to them. If you have 5 points' worth and have the full bar of Reputation, you do it with the blue Paragon option.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a boss fight is 100% mandatory. It's the "too video gamey" phrase that angers me.

Although I will say no showdown with Harbinger was such a letdown. Some kind of fight or a conversation to tell him to shove it would have been great, but no, he chills on Earth for a bit, fires some beams, and calls it a day.

The concept of that fight was fine, but...

1: Making it so that I could only use the laser when the game wanted me to was lame as hell.

2: I wasn't particularly enamoured of the combat roll "feature" to begin with, and basing the climax of a three-game-long story arc on roll-spamming because you have no peripheral vision didn't really help. Like, if you could just watch that fight from a nearby hill or something, it would look like an absurdist parody or something.

And y'know, ME2's human reaper was lame as fuck, but I still think Hoverboard Saren was one of the goofiest things in the entire god damn series.
 
I thought runnin' was a far better option. Every time I tried rollin', my virtual toe would get clipped and I'd just die and start the whole process over. So, yeah, try run.

Harbinger:
After ME2, Harbinger was BEGGING to die and by Shep's hands (weapon or wrapping fingers around circuitry). But when that didn't happen and we got...well, let's just say I felt the whole "haunted by stupid little idiot kid" was horribly forced, so I wasn't at all surprised by stupid Starchild. However, it still left me dissatisfied with their writers and their insistence on a controversial ending, rather than a satisfying one.

Aye, I know all about getting stuck on a four inch high rock of doom.

But with the very limited FOV and the inability to separate the camera from Shepard's direction, I would always die to my own impatience. So long as you can sort out where the bits of terrain that restrict movement are, rolling is faster and safer.

Hence, rolling like it's Smash Bros.
 
I also thought running was a safer option. Rolling is a little bit quicker I feel, but I'd always get so far and I'd get clipped.

As for multiplayer, finally jumped into it last night and played a few rounds, although my connection was less then stellar. Got dropped twice just before the end which pissed me off. I'm up for a few games whenever as I feel I could play this for a while. Loved firefight on Halo.

Hahaha this cracked me up!
 
I felt like rolling didn't work as well on insanity.
If you stand in the middle of the area, towards the front, you can always make a dash for a corner once the laser heads towards you and start charging before the laser even finishes its course. Piece of cake if you do it this way.

In the last update, did they change it so that you get to keep credits after dropping out?

Can't remember the last time I quit midgame but I have noticed people doing it alot after the second/third objective wave, even when the team is doing well and the connection is good.

Getting to the point I don't even want to waste my equipment saving people.

XP, what have you been running your Claymore with? The more I think about it, the more I want to try playing Geth Infiltrator like a Hunter. Get some points in Prox. Mine, maybe rock a Claymore, who knows. It's not like Cloak doesn't run on it's own timer, so cooldown is never really an issue for an Infiltrator.

As he is right now, he's pretty much just an amplifier for my Black Widow. Straight weapon damage and nothing else. Not really a bad thing, but there's no reason I can't just use my Salarian for that.

Krogan vanguard, as mentioned earlier. BC > Hvy Melee > Claymore. Usually dead anything that isn't a prime. Pyros sometimes that 2 Hvy Melee hits. I try to aim for the head but it's diffcult sometimes when the Krogan hvy melee is far less accurate or forgiving than the batarians (or any other race for that matter).

I've tried it on the human soldier as well, just like the Widow being able to instant reload a claymore is pretty nasty. I wish ME3 MP was more fleshed out, it still feels like an awesome open beta or F2P type of game. (remember the US Army FPS that was F2P?) Faster reload perk would have been sweet...maybe they'll have consumables that do that.

Faster reload perk would have been sweet...maybe they'll have consumables that do that.[/QUOTE]


Right on. I'm prolly respeccin' the Battlemaster and GI tonight. Time to give my Graal and Claymore some spotlight. They're both friggin X anyway.
Apparently with the GPS, you can Charge>Cloak>Mine>Release Charged Fire>Fire and do some sick damage since it's all enhanced by the cloak's buff.

Might even throw a few points into Geth melee damage ;)

my shep is such a whore, I was saving the romance option for Tali to rekindle the flame but Liara gave me the option to make first contact with some blue booty...how could I resist? Tali will have to wait til PT2 insanity.

Wait, I didn't know you could romance Tali - I never seemed to get any options that got close to that. She just got drunk in the lounge for the whole last part of the game ;).

[quote name='shrike4242']My current PT1 was on my Sheploo Paragon Vanguard that romanced Liara in ME1 and Tali in ME2, so I went back to Tali on ME3 to continue that along. Been good stuff so far. [/QUOTE]

WTF!? You could choose Tali in ME2? I thought everyone was all excited because it might be an option for ME3 and then I thought they just didn't do it. Do you see her without the mask in either game!? Wow, it's amazing how much I can play some games and just miss stuff so thoroughly. BTW, I just kept it going with Liara in my ME3 playthough. My Paragon save from ME1 was Liara and I played through ME2 again to get that save to ME3 (waste of time I guess given the ending but oh welll - at least I hadn't played most of the DLC for ME2 yet so that was new) without choosing someone else, then got the achievement for rekindling like super-early on the Citadel. It was actually pretty anti-climactic ;).

[quote name='KrizB']In the last update, did they change it so that you get to keep credits after dropping out?

Can't remember the last time I quit midgame but I have noticed people doing it alot after the second/third objective wave, even when the team is doing well and the connection is good.

Getting to the point I don't even want to waste my equipment saving people.[/QUOTE]

Last night I got dropped a couple of times and nearly every other time we ended sessions with 3 people - I don't know when the other players dropped out (can you tell who is playing during a match beyond just seeing them on the field?) but I think out of 6 or 7 sessions there were only 4 at the end once or twice. But given that I got booted a couple times, I guess it is more likely that happened to them as well. Once again I will repeat that my Internet connection is rock solid and has not been down one single time since 8 months ago when I switched from my cable company to my local phone company (who installed fiber optic to our house a few years back). I never lose XBL connection in all the times I get booted from ME3 servers either. They work most of the time, but there are definitely issues. I really wish they would let you keep a portion of the money, at least, if it is their fucking fault. It really sucks to play through 9 or even 10 waves, then lose everything.
