I just got ANOTHER card for the Female Human Engineer from a PSP, and ALL of my classes are at Level 20 with NO need for XP. Sure, some have room for extra color options, but I doubt that gets checked as part of the hand-out process. Meanwhile another Kishock upgrade I could have lived without was also delivered, but I bet that once I hit X there'll be no additional cards handed out for THAT. With no Ops and only a few Gels left, my next big purchase will be the 33K Big Packs to see if THAT screws me over too...

Bioware says that there is no DLC at this time.

"Sorry folks, this is not true. There is no ME3 MP DLC coming out tomorrow. This is the internet and you cannot "unsee" things, but the details in this are not correct. I am not going to close this or anything as the rumor will continue to spread whether I do or not, but please refer people to my post here when it comes up. We will have more information on ME3 MP DLC in the future, I hope later this month, but nothing more to be said now."

That's a common, isn't it? I wouldn't get upset about it. Supply packs are decent, guaranteed at least 5 of each item.

WONderful.

Neither do Gold games when looking for Bronze. Found a small complaint thread at Bioware while asking about my reload issue. Surprised the thread was so short, but we Bronze-only folks may be a small minority. I'm pissed because tonight's Gold game found me all alone with everyone else freshly dead (but not dead enough to end the game before I arrived) and MASSIVE numbers of Geth left over. Died in the back doorway after maybe killing stuff with my first rocket launcher and was transported to the extraction point (no surprise now that I've been educated). Then the BIG bug of the game. I was immediately swamped up there, and pulled out the rocket launcher again. A Prime cut me down, so I used one more gel to stand up and shoot at his feet. The rocket just disappeared through the floor with NO damage whatsoever!!! I (me, not my GE) was stunned, then died (my GE, not me) quietly wondering who designed this crap.

The folks on the Bioware reload thread think client/server lag is causing the server to think the gun (any gun, not just big clip ones) is empty and forcing a reload. Not sure they'd let us have a "No thanks, I'll reload my own gun" option because that'd be admitting they have an issue. Or at least the bitter me looking at the time it'll take to replace gels and rockets wasted in unwanted and unwinnable Gold games is thinking they won't admit their lameness...

That's so weird. I've never gotten into a silver or gold game once when searching for a bronze game. Once, someone changed it from bronze to silver before starting the match, but it was bronze when I was matchmaked (matchmade?) into the game.

Yeah that was a good time. I have not been on with any of the old BF guys in a long time.

Also found out not to bring an Arc into a Gold fight!

Don't bring an Arc I, no. An Arc X, sure .

At least completing golds gets you tons of credits. Your Arc will be a X in no time

Go the upgrades for the guns usually come in a "higher" level pack?

Gun levels - depends on "rarity".
Gun mods - also depends on "rarity".

For gun mods, go veteran packs
For gun levels, go spectre/premium spectre packs.

Do you ever just drop into a game instead of waiting in the lobby for all four players to be ready? That's where MY Bronze setting is fairly often ignored. I have also bailed from the lobby if the setting was wrong, but I've been assuming all of these mistakes are from some central routine that wants to get me playing and thinks I'll be OK with Silver or Gold. Having the leader switching to another setting just after I was put in the lobby but before I could see the settings hadn't occurred to me but is feasible due to entry delay. I was once voted out of a game before I could see who was already in the lobby...

I have 255 of ammo so I guess I'll have to watch closely and see what happens...

255 ammo and ops survival for me, too. Here's hoping! Though I was considering creating a character whose primary weapon was grenades just to spam them like crazy.

I like the respect becoming uncommon.

I really wish they'd fix the character cards so you don't get them once fully unlocked.

But, they come with *XP* you see, and you ALWAYS needs XP.

Ummm, unless you aren't promoting anything, like me...

With respec cards being uncommons, there's even less of a need to promote now.

Besides, with my N7 rank in the 700's, I believe I have about half the war assets necessary to get the best ending - just from playing multiplayer!

It seems we failed Operation Silencer to kill 3 mil Banshees:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/61575...3498/701839116
I say we all give up playing ME3 MP and let the galaxy overrun by the Reapers, Geth and Cerberus. Bioware has to keep supply us with more free MP maps and playable characters if they want to save the galaxy. It's war time. Bioware needs to keep funding us to fight the war.

Assuming in the ME3 story, Shepard failed to stop the Reapers for whatever reason, how long to do you think Earth and other planets that are under Reapers attack will last? Since the release of ME3 game, the galaxy has been at war with the Reapers for over 3 Earth months. On multiplayer alone, how many players have died fighting the war?

If you go by the story, several hundred years before Reapers wipe out intelligent life.

There's a lot of speculation that we failed on purpose so that new allies could be brought in for the fight.

I've never dropped into a game, only into a lobby and had to wait, sometimes five or ten minutes. I've only played thirty or forty matches total.
