I think I'm done until there's some sort of stability patch. I've had 6 loving crashes tonight, most of which happen on wave 5 or 6.

I like how the classes have little flavor text on the cards. One of the krogans got super drunk and missed his ritual to be let into a clan, the asari adept is a former commando who really likes to watch out for the younger team members, the female sentinel is a rookie but really fascinated by all the poo poo going on. Female infiltrator lost her husband and son.

Hmm, ok. I will stick with it and see if I can play more aggressively. I am used to being a shadowy badass with Shepard so I'll have to change my reactions. Also is there a way to check my emails other than going to the terminal in my quarters on the ship? You would think that since I am writing this on the internet from my phone and my email happens to be on my phone too that they might just be able to do that poo poo in the future too but maybe that is hoping too much.

I'm encountering a chronic issue with my friends on Xbox One, where we create games but no one ever matchmakes into them or takes an absurdly long time to. It's very frustrating. Also resetting back to the poo poo tier weapons is most depressing. As is lack of heavy melee, and the lack of Geth Trooper Soldier. RIP Flamethrower 2012-2017.

What's the point where it's better do l to do a higher difficulty and fail, rather than a lower difficulty you can definitely beat? E.g. if you get to round 4 gold, is that more money and xp than full extracting silver?

I failed on round 5 or 6 in a silver and got 15k, so at least for silver I think if you can get past the first objective round it will be more profitable than a winning bronze.

I'm 6 pages behind, so maybe this has been mentioned, but is the new Indra a piece of poo poo ???? ? The very first new gun I unlocked was a Raptor. Cool, fun, it's auto now, it shoots almost exactly like the ME3 Indra did. Then, hey! you get the Indra, and it's the same as this new Raptor, except it has lower damage, shoots slower, and makes a giant loving plasma ball effect so you can't tell what you're shooting at anymore. Am I missing some kind of invisible bonus here? (Aside from the slightly larger magazine)

I'm one of those unfortunates to have constants CTDs, but I manage to mitigate it somewhat by upping the process priority. YMMV of course.

Well I lied and continued playing, I'm glad I did because the stars aligned and I found a pub group where we did four full silver extractions. Then they bumped it up to gold and we did three full extractions. Was very fun and satisfying.  Angara Avenger is ridiculous. Teleporting across the entire map to do a backstab is pretty great. This character is going to get nerfed isn't it? I still don't have a great close range weapon, I've still been using the Charger. I got first place on one of the gold runs though, so I guess it will work for now.

katkillad2 posted:This character is going to get nerfed isn't it? Probably! She's not quite the highest DPS character—that honor goes to the Asari Adept or a Soldier with a Vanquisher and solid aim—but her ability to play 100% safe at all times more than makes up for it. You have so many options and outs that you always feel like you're in full control of the match, no matter what your idiot teammates are doing.

I've got one. Haven't played her much, but I've played alongside her a few times. Here's what I think! She is SUPER TANKY, like all Krogan, and she has Annihilation Field, so she's good by default. The big difference between her and the Asari Adept is that she can't do her own Detonating, so she needs a decent team to take full advantage of her kit. I don't know that I'd play her in pugs, but she's awesome in a coordinated gold group. If you have a Human Kineticist who knows what she's doing the two of you will lay waste. Annihilation Field + Zero CD Throw is nutso. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Mar 26, 2017 |

I played with one that took the Disable instead of shield regeneration on Annihilation and it actually seemed pretty effective at holding things down while he head butted everything to death on gold. Hilarious to watch too.

Hilarious to watch too. I could see that. Unlike the Adept, she isn't countering on Barrier to fuel her DPS, and the Lift might even provide better survivability than the drain since anything that's CC'ed won't be shooting at you.

Doctor Spaceman posted:What is the right build for an Asari Adept? Probably 1/6/6/6/6 with... Annihilation: Radius, Damage Attractor, Draining Field Lance: Damage & Force, Anti-Shield, Shield-Powered Offensive Biotics: Power Enhancement, Combo Detonation or Exposure, Biotic Expert Barrier: Recuperative Barrier, Barrier Drain, Saving Barrier Leave Annihilation on full time, dive into enemies, and Lance everything once to trigger a combo. There's a short cooldown on you Annihilation Primer before you can combo the same target, maybe about 3 seconds. Get a feel for it so that you're not wasting Lances on high HP targets. Use Throw as a backup detonator. Melee whenever your shields go down and keep on Lancin'. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Mar 26, 2017 |

tooterfish posted:I just got sync killed and then sat and watched two players try to kill the last enemy on a map, an ascendant, for half an hour. Yeah, ammo boxes recharge. I've never timed them, but I think it's about 2m for a refresh. And while I'm thinking about it, let's do some Sync Kill Facts! Kett are currently the only faction with sync kills. The Remnant Destroyer just does normal melee, and while the Outlaw Hydra does have a sync melee, it doesn't kill you. As in ME 3, sync kills can be interrupted. If you hit the mini-boss in their weak point during the kill animation, they'll drop whoever they've got hold of. For the Ascendant, kill the Orb. This might take a bit, but fortunately, their sync has a relatively long animation and it is doable if you react fast. With the Fiend, hit the reddish gills on either side of his lower back to interrupt. Of course, having this information won't help pubbies save you from this situation, but if you're feeling gracious, it might help you save them. Tenzarin posted:That was over 600 years ago she should learn to let go. The phrasing is really awkward too. "After losing her husband and child in a botched robbery back in the Milky Way, the Human Infiltrator came to Andromeda for a fresh start. She joined APEX to do some good—and to work through some anger and sadness." Like, the context is enough to parse that her family was killed when someone attempted to rob them. However, with the way the structured it can also read like they were a family of thieves that had one of their robberies turn sour. A lot of the class flavor text is real bad. The Angara Insurgent's is especially embarrassing. "These kett invaders need to back off the Angara Insurgent's territory. Seriously. These new aliens fighting with him might be useful, but someone needs to show them how things work in this galaxy." Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Mar 26, 2017 |

I had the game be stable for a bit and a group of pubbies who didn't suck. So I now have a level 13 soldier and an Avenger VIII. Anyone up for doing the Silver APEX missions to help me get a Juggernaut shield to put on my Krogan when I get one?

Barrier 5b, the melee drain, seems fuckin nuts. With that and a maxed charge (radius, weapon+melee, bastion), plus jugg shield, I've been running public golds with no trouble at level 8 human vanguard X. There's still more to do with the build, but I'm not convinced it even really needs it. Been using it on the Asari Adept as well, and it's just as good there.

It is very strong, probably too strong. Barrier characters are tankier than krogan right now, which is maybe not intended. Shame the melee in this game feels so janky thanks to the lovely p2p hosting.
