Aw, now I don't get to see my title and know the sweet nectar of e-appreciation. Oh well. Back on page 2 there was someone asking about the Collector Rifle - I actually think it works well with the Destroyer. It's a good, accurate, fast-firing gun that is held back by the weight, which the Destroyer doesn't care about. Only issue is that most people will only have it on low levels - I think my Geth Pulse Rifle VII is better. If I bought all those ME3-branded PC accessories it would probably be really nice. Also, I was curious - has anyone here noticed a higher rate of URs in PSP bought with BP rather than credits? After all the many packs I've gotten since March 6 I've only ever gotten 2 URs, but I just pulled a Black Widow in the PSP I bought with the leftover points from getting Firefight. My friend did the same, and got a Javelin. I wonder...

TJO posted:Has anyone else thought about new characters they could add and general ways they could change the game up? I was thinking about a set based on reservists/non-traditional soldiers. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see playable Reaper Forces in the future given the events of Leviathan. I like those other ideas too - I really do hope BioWare makes every conceivable mix of class, race, and beyond. Still want my Asari Sentinel.

There were some people talking earlier about the Reaper at the end of the trailer and how they wanted to fight Reapers in multiplayer - please take note that the Reapers we fought in SP were the 160m Destroyer Reapers. The Reaper in the trailer is Harbinger. He's over 2km. Whilst I would like to take on full-size Capital Reapers in-game (it would have to involve vehicles, shield-wrecking orbital bombardments and mounted guns capable of delivering similar amounts of damage to a high-grade nuke), I doubt we'll be killing Harbinger in multiplayer.

Lagomorphic posted:Yeah but he could show up and start shooting off his death ray during the extraction wave. They've already said that they're adding environmental hazards and traps. Also they did it in SP so the assets are there. True. That would be one Hell of a hazard. Also, is anyone else shocked that Keith Szarabajka is finally back as Harbinger? After all the complaints regarding Harbinger's reduced role, after STILL not voicing him in the EC or featuring him in Leviathan, Bioware finally brings him back, fully voiced... in multiplayer. Odd.

VJeff posted:I really, really, really wish they would take the sync-kills out of this game. Getting grabbed by behind by a Banshee over and over is pretty much singlehandedly quashing what enjoyment I'm deriving from the patch fixing so many issues. The problem with the sync-kills is that they just completely gently caress with melee classes. I know you guys have been going on about the Unstoppable Kroguard, but I swear I just got sync-killed like 7 times in one Cerberus match. Including the extraction wave, where I charged a Phantom, staggered her, then went to finish with a heavy melee... and the goddamn krogan just slips right past her and hits air before getting shanked. Also, did the servers just drop out for anyone else?

subroc posted:Some heavy melees like the Adept punch and Paladin shield bash will hit anything in front of you. Krogan heavy melee is not one of these - you need a full lock on for it to connect. Take half a second after the Charge to line up your melee properly and you should be OK. I could swear that I did line it up. Of course, the lag was moving me from side to side all game...

There wasn't any smoke, but I'm not sure about the brackets. Still, I wish the move actually had better auto-aim. If a Phantom can make me freeze and turn 180 degrees to be stabbed, it's only fair.

The Collector Assault Rifle will also become a standard Rare. Also, really, the problem with Volus is that they've always been expressly stated to be no good at fighting. That's why they're a turian client race - the turians do their fighting for them. It's why there's no Volus Councillor, because they haven't been useful military-wise. And seriously, look at them. Thy can't even really run, or look like they could hold a standard weapon. I really think BioWare deliberately named the files that to troll people - either that or they'll be blatantly non-canon joke characters.

Houdini posted:I still want a Turian Vanguard who has a tech charge. Especially now tech bursts/explosions are a thing now. Shadow Strike is the tech version of Charge, I think, and it can prime explosions. Oh God invisible turian swordmasters. I want that. I do agree we need a Turian Vanguard though, not to mention a Turian Adept. I'd like to see them with new moves as well. I did see a cool idea for an ability that would basically cast Slam on all enemies in an upgradeable radius around the user. Maybe they could have that, or keep the same idea but make the power something other than Slam.

Mr Dog posted:Particle Rifle is absolutely beast on a Destroyer with the extended clip power and Incendiary Ammo. The Extended Clip gives you more time to use the high-power phase of the particle beam, and Incendiary Ammo is bugged? to stack an obscene number of DoTs onto things that get shot with the PPR (or Reegar). Stacking up on III/IV consumables with that configuration is probably the most enjoyable way of playing the game right now, at least for me. I believe the thing with IA is that it adds DoT to each bullet, and the Particle Rifle's beam is really a shitload of 'bullets'. quote:Slayer still kicks rear end as well, he can just run into any clump of non-bulletsponge enemies and lock them DOWN. Provided you don't have a Prime/Atlas/Banshee in your vicinity you're practically invincible. Despite the fact that they kick such monstrous amounts of rear end I hardly ever see anyone playing as a Slayer, though. I think everyone just tried sniping with Phase Distruptor and doing the Charge/Shotgun thing for a game or two and concluded they were crap because Biotic Slash takes absolutely forever. Add in a Volus and it's even better!

Then again, maybe the part where we kept hanging around in the middle of Rio wasn't the best idea. Ahh, you're fine. At least you can draw their fire!  No, but seriously, thanks for filling the slot. And Felinoid's right, taking cover does seem to re-synch you when you suffer lag. So at least you don't need to worry about it while shooting from cover.

UnknownMercenary posted:Anyone who was curious about the Devastator Mode nerf: I still think this was dumb. Guns are, generally speaking, underpowered in comparison to powers anyway given that they have no way of dealing out the huge damage of biotic/tech/etc. combos on their own (unless you use something overpowered like the Harrier or Typhoon), are limited by ammunition, and in the case of ARs and SMGs, require you to stay out of cover for extended periods. Even considering the stagger offered by the Hawk, classes that lack powers (especially ones that prime or especially detonate explosions) are already at a disadvantage. When I tried a Destroyer again last week I spent all my time with Devastator Mode on (specced for fire rate) and was still underwhelmed by the damage. You could give the Destroyer doubled clip capacity and fire rate and he could MAYBE pull off the kind of crazy damage that combos deal, and he would still be in more danger than power-based classes considering he would have to spend more time out of cover. Devastator Mode wasn't overpowered, it was doing everything it could to bring a gun-based class up to 'effective'.

jpmeyer posted:I haven't seen any numbers from crazy Russians on BSN about it, but I noticed something interesting with explosive ammo. On a lark, I equipped explosive ammo III in a silver game with the Reeger and the Harrier. When I attacked banshees with the Harrier, I was just plinking away at them and then eventually they'd take a little damage from the explosions. The Reeger though was MELTING them, which makes me think that it was applying a shitload of those 250 damage explosions. Fingers crossed. Makes me want to try it with the Particle Rifle.

Lagomorphic posted:This seems like a bad idea, it'd be like skipping charge on the Kroguard because they reduced the melee damage bonus a bit. Go ahead and try it but be prepared to burn a repec card or promote your soldier. I dunno - charge is mainly used for shield restoration and covering long distances quickly, and it has no debuff drawback. Devastator Mode has had its effectiveness reduced on 2 of 3 levels while keeping the same mobility restrictions. I just think of running around with Eagle missiles all over the place whilst also being able to run faster and roll out of danger (read: sync-kills), with even some of the DM buffs you lost being made up for by your maxed-out passives. Oh well. I'll post results if I get around to promoting.

SciFiDownBeat posted:They really nailed that alien female look. Maybe we'll see more alien females (Salarians, etc.), or perhaps female Turians in multiplayer? I certainly hope so. It would be odd for them to go to the effort of finally making a female turian model for a DLC that no one ever expected to see female turians in, only to just leave it at that. It's always smart to get as much mileage out of your work as possible. Same reason why I'm sure we'll get an SP DLC with Collectors.

There's a fourth new one that is obscured, the news is coming from a French site and a French speaker on BSN says the name of it translates to "Rocket." So it looks like Aria is modeled after a ME1 style vanguard. Apparently another new enemy is a mech that is similar to beefed up LOKI mechs from ME2. Niiiice. Suitably violent. randombattle posted:Yeah I don't think anyone is surprised by that one. Not a shock in any way. I've always suspected it would be the case, but I was never totally sure - BioWare could always have changed their minds around, plus the idea that Aria wouldn't take orders from someone and would instead go off on her own or be in a commanding role has merit. For a few seconds I even took that screenshot as a disconfirmation of Aria since I wouldn't have thought they'd have two new squadmates for one DLC. Not complaining though. gently caress yes.

I can't explain why it doesn't seem to hit very hard at all but is that normal or am I getting lag and I didn't "hit" the target? If it's the former what's the strategy to use with it? Honestly I think it's just that Scions are complete loving golem bastards. Very high health, especially when possessed.
