Stroop There It Is posted:Wait, so what classes do we think the additions are going to be? The Infiltration Unit will probably be an Infiltrator.  FemTurian is almost certainly Adept or Sentinel to go along with whatsername in Omega. I'm not sure if "Talon Mercernary" means "another (fem)Turian" or something else from her little Omega group (maybe another Vorcha?) edit: Whoah hold on, Wrex is in the new SP DLC, but what if he's dead? I hope they don't half-rear end that possibility.

So apparently completing Operation Tribute gives you a new banner. Here's hoping for "Big Guddamn Heroes."

Elotana posted:How would a shield restore be a new power at all given Shield Boost and Stimulant Pack Well, given the thread says pretty implicitly the Jugger's only got one old power and it's the Geth Turret, it's not going to be a clone of those two, is it? There's probably some perk to it they'll give the power to make it stand out.

There's also a screenshot with Miranda among the team in the background, so it seems like you can have all (most? what with Legion ...) previous squadmates to bring along for this, maybe. So either they've half-assed this for pretty much all [possibly dead] squadmates except Liara / Ash / Kaidan, or they've gone the whole nine yards for all of them.

I stopped playing MP about 2 months or so after release, how hard is it to get sort of "caught up" on weapons and classes? I remember it being a little grindy, but perhaps I'm misremembering? Also, how much of the paid DLC is worth it?

I remember it being a little grindy, but perhaps I'm misremembering? Also, how much of the paid DLC is worth it? Well, you're probably not gonna unlock every gun and character anytime soon, but you can get a lot of mileage out of the game even if you have just a hand full of decent kits and guns. You really shouldn't go in with the mindset of trying to unlock absolutely everything though, cause that way you're bound to be frustrated. As for paid DLC, none of it affects MP, obviously, but so far the common consensus is that Leviathan is more bang for your buck than Omega, but both are good, provided you're willing to shell out the money for it. Nobody knows what the upcoming Citadel DLC will be like but it looks fairly interesting, I guess.

nohopeindope posted:I switched to PC from Xbox after playing ME3. I never played the multiplayer back on the 360. Unless there's some extra cost to play on XBox (Live? The Online Pass maybe?), there's no reason why you can't just play multiplayer on 360. There's still plenty of goons who do so, I think. (What's the metatag again? N7 Goons?) That said, if you want to do it on PC, yes it absolutely is worth a purchase solely for the multiplayer. One of my friends in fact did that exact thing; he had a pirated copy (with DLCs) and bought a legit one specifically for multiplayer. omg chael crash posted:I stopped playing MP about 2 months or so after release, how hard is it to get sort of "caught up" on weapons and classes? I remember it being a little grindy, but perhaps I'm misremembering? Also, how much of the paid DLC is worth it? It is a bit grindy to get it all, and you definitely shouldn't be trying to get any specific thing because it'll never give it to you with all the inventory bloat (and the Desire Sensor  ), but as long as you don't focus on that and just focus on how fun the matches are you'll be fine. If you're really not geared up at all you can always use power and/or melee classes so it doesn't matter much. Also, all of the MP DLC is completely free (you do have to 'buy' it to install it, but it won't cost you anything). The paid single player DLC is okay, but overpriced.

Midee posted:It's all basically horde mode with a few variations, but it's very slickly done and satisfying with plenty of different characters and weapons to choose from (once you unlock them). The PC version runs smooth and looks the best, and there's plenty of goons online all the time, but there's no controller support. I think it's worth double-dipping for since it's only $20, but if you need to play with a controller then stick with the 360. FWIW I've never had a problem with ME single player using a controller, but the ME3 MP using mouse and keyboard feels so much better and I'm glad I double-dipped.

You'll (RNG willing) unlock plenty of good stuff in no time. And in fact, a lot of the "good stuff" was available at release so you should already have usable weapons. Post your manifest. Like, the first UR I ever got was the Talon, and it's still one of the absolute best all-around weapons in the game bar none. Some of the launch Uncommons are perfectly good too, like the Phaeston, Mantis and Eviscerator.

Well that's silly. Just finished a gold game and clicked the store, and all the credits from the gold game were revoked! I have to get a character with inferno grenades so I can do the weekend challenge. C'mon game, gimme those credits back! E. Aha! Restarting the game netted me my deserved credits. No inferno grenades, just another Volus engineer card. apophenium fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Feb 22, 2013 |

They've changed the name of the female turian character in the post to "Cabal Vanguard" and confirmed that it's the same as the Raptor which was the old name for it. They also said that all three of her powers are completely brand new so we may have our first vanguard without biotic charge, or a different twist on it.

I'm glad they wait until the DLC is a few days away before announcing it, impatience sucks. e: I'm guessing the name change is because they finally realized it was pants-on-head to keep naming classes and guns the same thing.

No complaints, though: if they roll all the good stuff out first I don't have to worry about saving up after that point.

God the vorcha engie is complete balls. I specced him entirely for melee just to do silver with him and any other vorcha would be more effective. Least the net has its uses. And may I say I love that if melee the brute at the wrong time I just bounce off his spiky body.

Should I abandon any pretense of shooting things at range with the Vorcha soldier? I've got a Wraith and a Piranha that I could shredder mod for additional close range armor death, but I've also got a Harrier. If I had a Reegar I'd use it but no such luck yet.

just as a clarification I think the BSN dev said that the Juggernaut "is" a turret, he doesn't "have" a turret you know, like they way they played up the N7 Destroyer as a "walking turret" (i.e. SHOOTS GUNZ REEL GUD). Maybe it has some sort of passive staggergun like the Hawk launcher as well. Also if the Juggernaut's reduced mobility means that it can't run then it MUST have sync kill immunity as well. Otherwise he's just going to get dropped by Banshees with impunity, Phantoms poking it in the knee will be lethal, and I have no idea what a Brute slam would even look like. Pretty clever though, we had a bunch of little guys with Phantom-like passive cover, it makes sense that they'd go the other way and roll out a giant PC next. Map design already has to accommodate boss-sized enemies so he should be able to get around without much trouble. want to see a jugg on Adrenaline III mods
