Elotana posted:In my experience it's usually an even split between IIs and IIIs, but level II consumables are pretty good too. I usually buy a JEP and a PSP every two Gold rounds, equip consumables for every round including random quick matches because I don't give a gently caress, and I've yet to have to dip into my massive stash of level Is. Level II is fine. I'm running really low on the stuff I use most like Shotgun Amps, Ammo, and Shield Consumables and I hardly have any level I left of anything. Instead of getting a bunch of Medigel I don't need, I'd rather just pay 40K or something for 5 level II and III Ammo/Weapon/Armor consumables with a chance to get a level IV.

 Shield gate woes: I had a (gold) Cerberus turret with 2 bars of shield, hit it with a cloaked BW III shot. Appeared to be entirely gated.  I did this twice to confirm. If I can strip 80% of shields with one BW hit, it stands to reason the last 10-20% should go and then bleedthrough damage should happen, it's not. extraction bonus credits: My extraction bonus popup just reads +1000cr regardless of silver or gold. I thought it was supposed to be 10%? 75184 for a gold ... yeah, I'm not getting 10%, I should be getting about 83000. Psion fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Oct 4, 2012 |

Lagomorphic posted:Also there is a fun new bug/feature: What are people's thoughts on Rage evolutions now that it works? I'm tempted to stick with Health/Martial Artist/Health and use Melee consumables, because all that damage reduction is going to be insane and the Biotic Charge thing makes getting Rage trivial, reducing the need for the last melee evolution.

I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet but I intend to go melee/melee/melee because with charge/barrier/rage you're basically unkillable, at least until they rebalance him. the extra melee damage will help one-shot some of the shielded troopers.

I go all bottom row for fitness just to max my tankiness but I don't melee anything other then trash and Nemesis. I just find weapon damage to be easier to deal with on a 360 controller because I use the same thumb for looking and hitting the melee button which can gently caress up your melee. The rage change just makes the DR go from nutty to batshit insane. A good gun with the weapon damage evo on charge will kill anything quickly enough. Especially the Reeger with Inc. ammo. Headbutts are fun though so feel free to ignore me if my build doesn't float your boat. I may even give a melee build another go just to change things up.

Alteisen posted:Could someone tell me what a sync kill is? It's an automatic insta-kill, like when the Banshee shoves her hand through your diaphragm or the Phantom guts you with her sword. Once the animation starts, there's basically nothing you can do (your character is 'synced' with the kill animation,) though if you're lucky your teammates can save you.

A sync kill is a grab attack that kills you outright with no chance to revive. The game has to force your character into a position for the canned annimation to sync. EFB

The good thing about the Praetorian kill is that it looks like it takes long enough to actually be able to focus fire it down before it kills someone. Every other kill is practically instant, minus Banshees.

I've only seen the Atlas sync kill animation once (human vanguard pubbie kept charging the Atlas and not backing up in between), and I think I've heard Brutes have one too? I've never seen it though. Yeah, the Praetorian sync kill looks like it takes about as long as a Banshee one, so as long as you have a couple of teammates nearby it won't be that bad. I wonder how mobile the Praetorian will be?

Brutes have one. They smash you into the ground instantly with no chance of someone killing it in time to save you.

I've saved a couple of people from Phantom kills with Lash (0:40 for an example of saving a KroSent). It's actually pretty easy because when a teammate is in melee range of a Phantom they usually stay locked on them instead of going into their pose, so if you keep spamming it you'll probably interrupt something.

Dragoons are going to be enemy versions of the Phoenix Adepts according to devs. They're the ones in the trailer with the yellow Smash. I really hope they don't give them Lash with Shield Penetration

Man I need to get on more often, I really want one of those vanguards with lash, I loved the Kroguard on my friend's account but I got killed twice in a row by a banshee and a brute respectively right at the start of the waves.

I've actually saved myself from a Phantom sync kill while using the Reeger. It keeps firing as they stab you and will sometimes kill them before they kill you. This may have been patched out with the Flamer fix though. Also I just finished a gold game and only got 1K in bonus credits for extraction, hopefully that gets fixed soon I could really use some extra credits come Tuesday.

Do you like data mining? Do you like Volus? Then have I got a screenshot for you! Could be doctored, whatever. Bioware confirmed on the forums that there are 16 new characters that are going to be rolled out over time. Guess they're transitioning from massive DLC every few months to a more staggered release pattern designed to maintain community interest.

Can someone with a patch play a quick game through wave 3, disconnect, and report back if they keep their objective credits? Some folks on BSN are claiming this but it might be bullshit. If so, my hat is off to Bioware on this patch.

To be fair, without the big diarrhea-spewing elephant that hung over the main game for like three months until everyone was like "whelp, I guess that's about all we're getting" and just kinda shuffled off, the main game was pretty goddamn good. And this little throwaway mode has taken a LOT of patching, monotony, frustration and straight-up stupidity to get to this point that admittedly does some pretty awesome. But yeah if they actually take the lesson they've (hopefully) learned here and make a full MP title or make the next Mass Effect title have a much more dedicated MP section with like, alternate modes and poo poo, then... Yeah, that'd be pretty okay.

I never even minded the ending, I'm just honestly surprised that they keep updating the game with new stuff that (mostly) isn't just lazily thrown in there. Can't wait to install this new patch and play my beloved Battlemaster again as a completely unkillable death machine instead of the mostly unkillable death machine he was before.  Assuming I got everything from the Earth pack and stopped playing around mid-August, has anything outside of the recent patch changed majorly?
