It's not too bad. If you're sending teams to do all your Strike Missions and doing the ones you can yourself then you should get the 190 you need easily before the current equipment rotates.

They really cleaned up the gear options quite a bit. In ME3 there was a huge amount of gear, much of it quite overlapping and superfluous, and it had 5 levels (which affected its quality way more than with guns--the difference between 1 and 5 extra grenades for instance). In andromeda there are just 3 uncommon and 3 rare gear items I could see in the collection, and they do not have levels. So it should be quite easy to collect them, just depends on how bioware has them set up to appear in the store (if the store is 100% automated like vermintide's contract board, it is possible one of the gears will be impossible for anyone to have until six months from now or whatever).

Finally got all my basic packs bought, took 47 levels doing bronze only. Opened 10 premium packs. Only N7 stuff I got was Angara Avenger twice, could be worse I guess. Definitely going to start leveling that since it sounds strong. Also got a bunch of weapons to test out obviously.

A few other questions coming from ME3 multi to this: So getting a class repeat in packs is not only for cosmetics any more? You get more skill points on a (for example) Human Engineer X vs. I? Is promoting a class still in? I'm assuming you don't promote all your "Soldiers," for instance, at the same time anymore. But promoting a character starts them over at level 1 AND provides a small bonus across all of you characters right? Promoting an Engineer gives you a small bonus to power recharge speed correct?

You can promote a class but I don't think it does anything useful, you gain prestige experience while you're leveling and AFAIK you also gain it when you're level 20. You get the bonus when you get enough prestige XP on a particular bonus to level it up, the specific bonus your XP goes into differs from class to class but there're only 6? of them so there's a lot of overlap.

It's frustrating as gently caress, every time I go to do a mission or a higher level game I get dropped almost without exception.

Games are connecting fine for me, but now I can't change the mods in my weapons. Just pulled a pistol barrel for 10% more damage and I can't plug it on to anything  Edit: Also what does resetting your level do when you hit 20? The popup is totally unhelpful and google is suggesting it does... nothing?

Anyone else unable to send strike teams on the missions that you can either send a strike team or play multiplayer yourself? I get disconnected whenever I try, though I can send dudes on normal strike missions just fine.

It's a great change because it means you can just stick to playing gold+ once you hit 20 on the stuff you want to play. No more slumming in Bronze/Silver pubs when you need to reset and your trusted group is offline.

I gave this a try and no luck. It's telling me it can't do it until I log out of the game, but the game -- or Origin even -- isn't running. Oh well, teething issues with the servers I guess.

What exactly is the difference between Bronze/Silver/Gold? I've done about 6 Silver missions and couldn't really tell the difference between Bronze. Guess enemies take and do more damage?

PSA: If you're lucky enough to get the Isharay, buy the Thermal Clip equipment, slap it on literally any class and you can jump right into Silver at level 1. As the Salarian Operative says "Don't be a hero! Get down!" Just keep away from large groups and kill dudes one at a time. Great way to get quickly up to level 10 or so.

M. Night Skymall posted:It's probably better to just use 1 team on as many missions with a high success rate as you can until you get it to 20 and then worry about having other teams as that one slowly accumulates negative traits. That's what I did and my level 20 team can do gold missions with a 60% success rate most of the time. If you have barrier at 5, definitely get "Saving Barrier" from rank 6. It'll save your butt when trying to run away or for those annoying times when the melee or charge button stop working! Compared to punching stuff, both nova and shockwave do such piddly damage that they're barely even worth it, even against armored targets. I took shield damage on Nova for stripping observer shields, but charge->nova still leaves them with ~1/4 shield on gold. At this point, I'm pretty much just using Nova as an "oh poo poo" button for the invincibility frames (which you'll probably want too, since you took full shield restore). If you can figure out some way to make Nova or Shockwave evolutions more useful than just punching or shooting things, I'd love to hear it! Since Nova and Shockwave aren't super useful, going up Apex Training is nice for the 20% power recharge bonus at 6. Punch vanguard is definitely viable on Gold - you just can't charge directly into huge packs of enemies like on bronze/silver. Instead, hang out with your team and guard the flanks. Try to charge at enemies that have soft cover between them and their friends so you're taking less fire. If you start taking a lot of heat, dash into and around cover until charge is back up! If you don't have it, make sure you pick up the juggernaut shield from the item shop - it'll make gold enemies punching about the same as silver enemy punching without it. Edit: Why yes, I would love an APEX gold mission with +100% melee! Too bad it has observers...

So how do I actually do the apex strike missions in multiplayer? I've clicked the "play this mission in multiplayer" option for one of them and joined a multiplayer game with those settings and beat it, about 5 times now, and haven't gotten any mission points or boxes. It just seemed like a normal MP game reward.

I'm not 100% sure this is what's happening, but I think apex missions have better player matching than custom games, so some players are creating an apex mission and then switching to custom after players have joined. When you join the mission, make sure that "mission" has some mission name instead of saying "custom". It's also possible that it continue to match apex players into matches after then mission type has been changed. Or that it's just bugged and fails to give apex rewards sometimes.
