Mass effect 3 - Page 35

post #1021 of 2263
weak, but expected:

"Allied forces have matched krogan mercs and batarians with asari justicars for unconventional warfare. Their mission: to create resistance on Reaper-occupied planets to tie down local Reapers.

All N7 Forces will receive a +25% Experience Bonus for participating in Operations in any Theatre of War against any foe. Good Luck!"



edit: on second thought, if you pair the first line with this leaked photo... this weekend could actually be interesting!

Krogan battlemaster!!!!

Though I don't get how a battlemaster or asari justicar fits in, considering the class is the 2nd line. Therefore, I'm guessing fake.

With all my survivability issues, I'd like a weapon mod that fits anything and triples your shields. WAY too often, they just vaporize while I'm looking the wrong way, so if I'm just dented I'd have a better chance to survive. Call me incompetent, but that's the way it works for me...

could be fake, but kind of a strange coincidence that they'd use those terms in the announcement for beachhead.... and it's not like that image was fabricated today, it's been floating around for a little while. (that image is from early/mid march)

They.re on hold due to some duplication issues.

HOW do people get far in MP if they don't drop the quest for glory and run to the next "thing to do"? The rest of the team was off screwing around and dying, so just after I got the last terminal activated I was swamped and died ending the match. Everybody had a green speaker: doesn't that mean they can hear me saying stuff like "Help!"?

Perhaps they don't realize that you CAN just run by most bad guys unless you run into them?...

randoms. 'nuff said.

as long as you got the last objective and earned credits, what does it matter? 3, 6, 10 - get the money. Then you have something to show for your efforts beyond XP.
post #1029 of 2263
yeah xp is easy, it's all about the credits

I'm excited to maybe see some new classes coming soon

still waiting to unlock my last class, turian sentinal
post #1030 of 2263
I can only unlock Turian Sentinel and Drell Adept. Wish the game allowed trading. I love those classes but want more.
post #1031 of 2263
Considering I keep getting character unlock cards that I don't need when I buy Premium Spectre Packs, I suggest you go for those.

I've got almost all the Achievements I'm likely to get, since Insanity isn't my speed and no Atlas survives my takeover attempts. What I'm trying to do is find a Level 20 character that an untalented player like myself can use to survive Gold matches longer and get one more. I don't want to waste other people's time dying rapidly in a Gold match, so I'd prefer it if people didn't waste mine in Bronze.

It happened twice last night. It's just frustrating to waste gel before I realize that the match is kaput, since buying cheap packs to replenish that cuts into buying the more expensive ones that finally got me an extra ammo reload to carry. Both times I completely missed the message that they'd died since I was trying to get stuff done and they'd been working together on killing rather than covering me. Not sure why that cooperation wasn't directed at the "thing to do".

Eventually I'll either get the last Achievement and stop playing, or I'll get fed up and stop playing, but if there was a way to avoid players who don't give a darn about winning it'd be nice. Maybe a win/loss status you see in the lobby of the last 10 matches for each player. Something. ANYTHING...

If you are unable to break the Atlas screen before it gets destroyed, there are a few missions you can do this. Easiest is when returning to Citadel that being attacked by Cerberus. Later in the mission you will meet an Atlas. Turn the difficult down to Easy or lower. Bring a fast sniper rifle such as Raptor with scope that can see through smoke. The moment you jumped down from climbing, send your squadmates into the building on the left so that they can't directly attack the Atlas. Try to snipe the Atlas screen as fast as you can with your sniper rifle. Also make sure to run and take over the Atlas once the driver is dead or another enemy will try to get in. I also found other missions that have Atlas to do this after Citadel.

I never found driving an Atlas to be any point because most of the time, it shoots too slow and the Atlas is in bad condition.

Why can't you turn it down? As soon as you hit that mission, save the game and turn the difficulty down, get the chievo, reload.

If I turn it down, the whole Insanity game is invalidated for the Achievement. They don't store that setting in a save, just like how the unlocked bonus powers are available in all saves once you unlock them...
post #1040 of 2263
Krogan Vanguard? YES, PLEASE!
post #1041 of 2263
That DLC is priced just right! I'll be on tonight if anyone's looking for a teammate. Send a FR if interested.
post #1042 of 2263

You are incorrect. If you don't believe me, however, you can just make a save at that mission, finish the game, get the achievement, and then go back to that save.

How come all the Batarians in the campaign have that goofy hook thing on the back of their suits?

DLC looks awesome, I had to change my shorts.

Noted...

How come in MP everyone runs to the extraction point first thing and stands there. It draws every enemy to you. You should run to the other side of the map, wait there, draw enemies to you, kill some, run and regroup somewhere else, then with 30 seconds or less left THEN you run to the extraction point, FULL extraction every time.

Everyone HAS to be standing AND everyone HAS to be in the cirlce. Works everytime.

Ummm, it also works if you stand in the extraction zone and kill everything that comes at you. What hurts is when everybody covers one side and you then find enemies shooting you in the back. THEN you get partial extractions like my last game.

And how do we decide what to do when most Bronze folks say nothing and probably hear nothing?...

The only safe way to ensure Insanity difficulty doesn't get invalidated is clone the game save file since it has copy protection not allowing the game saves to be copied to multiple storage. To clone the game saves file, move it to an USB storage, use USBXTAFGUI to view the contents of the USB Storage and make a copy of the game saves file to another storage. Or you can try to image the entire USB Storage.

It would be very handy if MP has built-in voice order commands (not Kinect voice command) that you can tell your squadmates to "Regroup here", "Attack here", "Go to extraction point", ... At least you can communicate with each other than everyone is guessing that others are planning to do.
