I hope he assumes control and joins the fray. taunting us with insults about needing a group and being nothing compared to The Shepard he keeps mentioning to the other reapers.

I will forgive Bioware just a little bit for taking him out of the main game.
It definitely showed a glowy Collector charging, though, so I think Harby's back.

And oh loving wonderful, Praetorian looks like yet another enemy that can sync kill :jerkbag: Because those are so totally not-cheap. Still, they're not very mobile, so that's about as big a threat as an Atlas sync kill, nbd.

Godamn, they sure do know how to make a good trailer.

I think that was a Batarian with lash, and was that a Drell with homing grenades?

This looks like it might be pretty fun.

Yes, it absolutely was a Drell with homers. I am... excited.

I wonder what class of Drell it is. Homing grenade doesn't really fit the infiltrator class so well, but maybe I'm just not doing enough mental gymnastics to make it fit.

So, we will be able to not only smash into an enemy through a biotic warp tunnel, but smash into a an enemy through a biotic warp tunnel while covered in spikes.
Count me the gently caress in.

That's of course assuming the BatVan also has Blade Armour. I hope they do.

Watched it again. Things of note:

Turian Havoc? seems to have a jetpack.

Asari Huntress? seems to have a shadow-strike type ability, at one point an Asari disappears and reappears behind an enemy.

Whoever said about a yellow-coloured Smash is right.

The Krogan definitely fires a shockwave.

A Geth performs a strike on someone on the ground - could just be a funky angle for a grab kill, but I'm not 100%

What looks like a Cannibal knocks a Geth down

And I am more and more certain that Batarian is using Lash.

A loving BatVan with Lash. All my dreams are coming true.

EDIT: Also, one of the Collectors seems to have Seekers on them.

The Krogan also seems to have Lift? He hits something with a biotic and it launches straight up, I can't think of anything that can do that?

New Turian Soldier, Turian infiltrator, and what looks like a krogan adept with shockwave in the trailer. 16 new classes? that sounds like a lot...

Could be a good fit for Sentinel; homing grenade + a biotic power + some armor is certainly more Sentinelish than the Paladin. I don't think tech armor would be very good on a Drell but they could certainly do some variation that works better.

I think something that gives less damage reduction but increases mobility or somesuch might fit the Drell style.

Yea, the Drell is probably Sentinel or Engineer. If they keep it one character per class, the Infiltrator is covered by the Asari and Krogans get the Adept (which is probably a female, being a shaman).

If the shaman is a female, it's gonna make Brogan parties weirder. What nickname could we give them? Galgan? Femgan?

Infiltrator class is typically Cloak + Grenade Skill + Tech Skill. Human Infi: Cloak, Sticky Bomb, Cryo Blast. Quarian Female Infi: Cloak, Sabotage, Sticky Bomb. Quarian Male Infi: Cloak, Tac Scan, Arc Grenade.

My guess for a Drell Infiltratot is Cloak, Homing Grenade, Shadow Strike because Drells should have swords. :colbert:

b-b-but I want a Punisher. Wouldn't expect them to add those like they did the Raider/Argus since they're not in everyone's game.

Don't mind at all that it looks like a lot of new classes have some old abilities, should keep things interesting. That Turian with the helmet looks awesome. Batarian Vanguard gently caress yeah.

Played a bunch today, trip report on patch - SMG ULM seems to work now, Boss headshots are awesome (gotta try one shotting a Brute with my Jav X Gethfiltrator), Banshees will now charge straight over the terminals on White (Plat farming just got much harder). Haven't tried a Vanguard yet. The White auto-resurrect spot fix seems to have failed, happened at least twice to me. At least I haven't seen a single missile glitcher.

Except the edited post is now a Turian Infiltrator and Soldier so who knows what is going on. Maybe the Asari Infiltrator is BS which would be a shame. Was hoping for Cloak Stasis and Dominate.

e: Then again I rewatched it and there was definitely an Asari using a new skill (looked a bit like Phase Disruptor)

Looking at the video again. There's a brownish ball that seems to be following the Drell that could be an active armor/AF style visual cue.

You raise some very good points, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter :rimshot:

This does seem like the most likely class now that you mention it, though I'm not certain they'll double up on shadow strike. Sure, other classes share skills, but that seems like one that might remain Shadow-only. After all, the character doing the shadow strike in the trailer is a shadow.

:speculate: abounds.

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.
