On the one hand, I'm glad that I'll be getting back to my apartment & xbox on the 9th, just in time for the new expansion... but on the other hand, I'm dying to play the fixed Kroguard and save up credits right now.  I still have so many characters from the last two expansions to unlock, I basically have a whole new game ahead of me. I haven't even tried Platinum yet.  I can't wait.

Well Hurricane upgrades in PSP's would be nice. Also if I get a Talon upgrade on Tuesday I will weep with joy, so there's that.Schubalts posted:The Saber is the best gun, I don't see a problem there. It's the only gun in my manifest that's still at level 1. I would love a Sabre upgrade.

Lagomorphic posted:It does make me wonder what will be in or commendation packs now. If the promos are regular ultrarares now. They could just have the commendation pack be a random ultrarare. That'd actually be pretty cool. Are they actually coming out of (P)SPs though? I know on the manifest they're now in with the rest of the UR weapons but I haven't seen anyone actually saying they got one from a regular pack. It might have just been them reorganising the layout of the manifest. exquisite tea posted:So the new Singularity is pretty good. I maxed it out on my Cerb Adept but I feel like the final evolution is unnecessary, 50 more damage isn't that much and the detonation field is unreliable. Maybe if it detonated on recasts instead of just when it naturally expired, it'd be more helpful. Yeah I tried it out today having not played a Human Adept since I think the demo, and it was good and fun. I took the damage evolution, don't know how much impact it had but I was certainly getting a lot of kills with it. Given that it is very rare for me not to recast it before it dies I figured the detonation option was basically useless. ---- Hey, does anyone know if the Ballistic Blades not working from cover thing was fixed?

It's kind if hard to tell right now since nobody is spending any credits. Also, I gotta thank you for that recommendation to farm Glacier Cerberus Gold. I was farming White or Glacier Plat but if you extract on GCG you get 80k+ credits often in under 20 mins and it's much more reliable and less consumable intensive than Platinum.

A couple questions about the Turian Soldier, specifically Marksman. I have only been playing a couple months now and have all but four characters open, making it tough to try them all. What a terrible problem to have. Does the marksman reload take ammo from your current clip count or does it materialize ala devastator mode? Is it seamless? As in do have to stop shooting or can I cast it and keep blasting? And a follow up to that, could I cast it right before my particle rifle hits 0 and keep the spun up damage?

I can confirm that Shockwave with radius evolution works for the entire game. I'm pretty sure this has been true for a while but me and another goon tested this last night (as both host and non-host) and it worked fine.

If anyone wants to try something underused, pull out your QFE. With the bug fix on incinerate damaging frozen/chilled, it becomes very powerful paired with cryo blast, and the turret should be decent now (though still outperformed by the geth turret in all ways). Of course, you're still probably better off taking the QME with cryo ammo and incinerate specced for chilled bonus damage.

Promoting has never been easier. So you could promote your engineers and adepts and level them up over the weekend. Gold is totally doable at level one with consumables. Use a cyclonic mod for the missing fitness and a scoped Talon with Cryo ammo for crowd control.

I believe the multiplayer team is separate from the single player team devs. They must have some very talented people, as some of the things that were introduced were quite different from what you could get in the campaign (vorcha flamer, tactical scan etc)

Elotana posted:Most of the flaws in ME3 single-player were the result of dumb decisions by Bioware itself (specifically Hudson and Walters), not any kind of pressure from EA. I wish people would stop spouting this tired meme. Yeah. EA doesn't tend to interfere with individual decisions themselves. And though it could be argued that their obsession with getting things out the door can result in bad decisions from time pressure, most companies have that internally anyway. I think the only one that even used to not have that pressure to any degree was Blizzard, but now that there's been backlash on a few things they're probably starting to feel it a touch as well.

I thought EA was responsible for the time pressure that made me3 feel so rushed, and monetized in a questionable way, and was just pointing out that the multiplayer doesn't seem to have either of those problems. If that's all Bioware, then I guess that's that.

Outside of that it's kinda bunk. Just got a kroguard the other day, looking forward to giving that a shot. I can get away with carrying a shotgun and be tough enough to have some down time between charges, right? Surely he's not INVINCIBLE!?

Bioware bux is what has allowed the continuance of free content and patches, which in my mind accomplishes exactly what monetization should do. Players can experience the whole game for free while those with the money to burn can experience things faster (but not exclusively). It's not invasive and has never felt cheap in the same way that other paid DLC has.

You can pay with points (Bioware bux / MSP / whatever) that you buy with money. Surely you've seen that option every time you go to buy a pack. EDIT: On PC at least it forces an extra click after you hit "Purchase", where it brings up a thing with "Buy with X credits" "Buy with X points" and "Cancel".
