Marquis de Pyro posted:They should just delete Firebase White from the select a map screen Except it's tied into a few Achievements/Trophies. If you can only get Firebase White in Unknown Matches people will complain they can't beat it on Gold because there are too many maps to get it.

Had a Gold Reapers match yesterday on Rio trying out the Turian Ghost Infiltrator on Gold. I was grouped with a Turian Soldier, Vorcha Sentinal, and a Volus Engineer. Turns out that the Turian Soldier sucked badly and got 10,000 points and was dying left and right while the Volus ended up reviving him half the time. Score ended up with the Vorcha being 100,000, me being 91,000, and the volus being 67,000. Managed to get three extracted but left the Turian Soldier for dead. Overall I enjoy the Turian Ghost Infiltrator and just wish I had a better Harrier to use on it rather than just Harrier I. Also that Volus was awesome having the tactical mine blowing up on banshies left and right. He soloed a banshee by himself on wave 10 while I was getting the last package to the landing zone.

nwin posted:drat I love the harrier but the ammo capacity is poo poo...currently using it in my ghost. Any recommendations? I only have Harrier I myself and I'm rocking the ghost with that set up as well. Best advice I have is stick at or near ammo boxes. You get survival packs and ammo quickly enough. So even with the low ammo capacity in it you can still dish it out fast enough. Don't do the Ammo Capacity Gear. It'll at best give you ~ 30 more bullets on a Harrier I. Also I don't know if it was a good idea or not but I completely ignored Overload. I may give it another shot but I just like the whole weapon damage and health and shield boosts.

precision posted:Are EA's servers down or something? I just tried to play Multiplayer, got the "you need an Online Pass" screen, and a "server is undergoing maintenance" message. Was on on the Extraction wave of a Gold where I'd soloed two rounds because my teammates got instakilled and/or stomped and got a message saying "You've lost connection with the Mass Effect 3 Servers". Xbox live didn't say anything and I didn't lose internet. Yeah I think they did something to the servers in the last hour.

There was no community goal in the weekend challenge. There was only a "squad based" challenge. Victory packs usually came with the whole "kill 200,000 of X", "Get 150,000 extractions", etc. I'm not sure if they're going to happen again thanks to this new update to the system.

The Slithery D posted:I just searched the past few pages and couldn't find it: what map did everyone say was good for grabs? I thought it was something like "Dagger at the bottom of the ramp where you spawn vs. Reapers," but that...didn't work so well for me when I tried it. Is it some other ramp? I've heard good things about Firebase Giant in the control room against Cerberus on Bronze/Silver. Nemesis love to take cover in the two C shaped computer parts so just jumping around between them will get you lots of grabs. Donald Kimball posted:I actually have no idea how the Cloak bonus is applied. If I did the Bonus Power evolution, and threw a Dark Channel and then a Warp while cloaked would both of them get an 80% damage increase? Yes, to my knowledge that is correct. Or at least that's how it works with tech powers.

Was experimenting with the new mod weights and it turns out that if you have a second weapon with Ultra-Lightweight Materials it will count the weight against you. For example I went with Black widow with the barrel and sight and had a Hurricane with ULM and it counted the weight against me. So keep that in mind that when trying to abuse the glitch.

Has anyone been having issues with the game recently? For some reason over the past few days I've been having issues with either large amounts of lag, sounds cutting in and out when they shouldn't be, and worst of all jumping into a gold game and not seeing any enemies but them still hitting me. For instance for whatever reason my Phalanx wouldn't make a sound when I was firing it (same for Krysae Sniper Rifle), but every other sound effect worked fine. I'm using the Xbox 360 game and I've had the game installed since launch so I'm just checking if it's a universal thing or just a weird bug on my end.

Nezzar posted:I just had an Ops Survival Pack Capacity upgrade in my PSP. Was that a reward for that "kill dudes with shields" operation on the weekend? Don't remember reading about in the announcement. Yes, the Weekend challenge was a success (don't think they announced it but I did get my Victory Pack) and it gave +1 to Survival ops capacity possibility. I've gotten mine already as well so the max is now 6 Medi-Gel, 6 Survial Ops, 5 Thermal Clips, and 5 Rockets without gear mods of course.

Happened while I died dodging backwards. When I got revived at the end of the wave I was invisible and only had my Eagle to guide me. It was a very awkward wave and a half until I dodged backwards again and magically reappeared.

Opposing Farce posted:I unlocked the N7 Fury and after playing her for a bit I'm not totally clear on how her powers work. In particular, I'm not quite sure how the Drain evo on AF actually works, and Dark Channel is a bit of a mystery for me- do I need to keep recasting it or will it just keep jumping to enemies once it's up? Will it only jump to enemies within a certain radius? And so on and so forth. Drain Evolution on AF drains enemies shields/Barriers equal to the amount of damage the AF does (it also counts damage from AF primed Biotic Explosions). Dark Channel Primes the enemies for explosion once, and you will need to keep casting it to do more biotic explosions. If the target dies it jumps to the nearest target assuming there's someone nearby. That person is then primed for another explosion. This works really well against Swarmers and can take out all of them in one blast. Double tap the dodge button/spacebar to dodge easier. Pressing it once seems to not make it work more often than not.

This is how I roll my Volus Engineer. http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/?mobile#Engineer/Volus/KNPJD/Talon2AH5BA5/Hurricane9AU5AV5///StructuralErgonomics5/ There are many ways to play the Volus but I think the best way to play the Engineer is a cross between support and outright killing things with explosions. Make sure you're always spamming the light Melee for Volus's cloak. chami posted:I think it's pretty good. It recharges a small amount of your shields per pulse, does some damage, and counts you as being in cover for the purposes of several attacks (most notably Banshee warp balls).

Blindeye posted:So, I had an interesting gold game with Gangringo, we were doing pretty good and then he loses his connection and I get booted because The double medals thing also happens when the host leaves the game mid game and you get the same amount of kills during the other half. I've had it happen multiple times though that it gets confused and just doubles the medals (like I got 3 grabs first half before host left and none the rest and got two 3 grabs medals). Also occasionally the credits don't pop up for a game or two when that happened to me. Of course there were sometimes the credits never showed up either too so just hope for the best I guess. In other news I was trying out the Collector Sniper Rifle X and it seems to melt things with armor. The only main complaint is the horrible reload animation/time, but has anyone else tried this out and found it good or am I just going crazy?

Gangringo posted:do y'all go damage or range on that flamer? I can never decide. This is how I spec my Geth Trooper. Always go for reach over the damage as it's better to kill more things than kill fewer faster. Personally never liked Hunter Mode for how fragile it makes you and even with fortification I think there's so much more necessity to get up close with flamer that you want all the shields you can get. In other news Crusader VI; still no Hurricane X.

zxqv8 posted:This game is just piling on the loving bullshit today. I get dumped into extraction waves that then have enemies which I can't see but can see me. Leave, it eats my ammo despite never having fired a shot. Search for another, and it puts me right back into the same game right as extraction happens, and eats the ammo I loaded up and didn't even get a chance to use. This is one of the reasons I never put on equipment besides gear when going into games via quickmatch. You never know what you get and you lose stuff far too easily if things go bad. But lately I've been hosting matches or playing with friends a lot more than quickmatching.

Had a wave 6 four objects round against reapers on gold where I was a second away from getting the first one when a Brute insta-kills me. Then a goon and two pubbies tried their best but one of the pubbies just went down to a marauder and got stomped without geling. So the fellow goon and a pubbie started using rockets and even then they just ran out of time on the last one. It's been a while since I was in an objective round that we just ran out of time.

A few days ago we had a few full goon games of platinum on Giant against Cerberus. It is a good spot if you work together, but as always the objective waves (and sync kills) can make or break you. We had two Geth Troopers, A Volus Engineer, and a Salarian Infiltrator.

Fister Roboto posted:So I just got into this game after trying it a few times back in May and writing it off as boring. Anyone got any good advice or guides for just starting out? I have lovely weapons and like two character unlocks. I guess that means I should focus on caster characters? Also should I be spending all my money on the cheapo packs or saving it up for the expensive ones? Focusing on Caster types is a good idea and chepo packs starting out is a good idea to max out the common and uncommon weapons so you don't buy a more expensive pack and simply get one of the common weapons. At the very least buy Recruit packs until you max out the starting weapons (Avenger, Predator, Katana, Shuriken, and Mantis) then upgrade to Veteran Packs with the occasional Spectre Pack. CuddlyZombie posted:So, I just picked this up when it was on sale on Amazon, and I'm really enjoying it, but I'm wondering if I'm spending my credits wisely. I play games on silver with a level 19 conc-spam basic soldier, and although I almost always manage to win, its usually quite tough. I'm buying the veteran packs, thinking I'll upgrade to spectre when I start playing at Gold. If you seem comfortable on Silver and regularly extract fairly often it's often a good idea to attempt gold every now and then to get your feet wet and see how much of a step up it is. However keep in mind that it's not just you and your teammates can make or break it on Gold so don't be afraid to stick to silver if you're not feeling up to it. And in response to both these posts don't forget to read the first post for basic info on the game and ask questions.

I've been saving up credits for a while now as some Xbox goons know (I had 3.3 million credits) and decided to promote my characters and see how many Ultra-Rares I could get since I have everything else. I decided to use Spetre packs to see. Grand total? 3 ultra-rares. Scorpion, Collector SMG, and Harrier upgrades. Be glad that getting nothing but rare consumables still makes you angry it could be worse. Oh and while I'm at it got a Crusader VII.

sandpiper posted:I was playing online with friends and I noticed that I can't join their games - I get a black screen that says "waiting for other players" and I can hear the level noises in the background but not see anything. This didn't happen when I hosted the game instead of joining one. Any of you got this issue? We all live really close to each other, so yeah. I've played with people that have had this problem as well and I've been one of the people that have had that problem as well. Basically it's a problem with the host and your connection interfering with each other. Nothing to do with Bioware for once and usually has to do with NAT types. I play on the Xbox360 and rarely get it but that's because I have an Open NAT type so someone has to have a Closed or really messed up Moderate for me to get it. Basically, the best advice is to try other people as the host and see if you still get the error. If that doesn't work restart your system to see if that refreshes anything. Sadly there are those connections between people that just don't get along and need a third party as the host.

That's pretty much all that there is in that regard, at least as far as I know. The other thing about LIVE is that you can select their name - mid game - and mute them immediately. I've had to do that with a few people that have music/TV too loud in the background and would do anything about it. I had an interesting night last night with 3 Volus Vanguards. We got full extraction twice against Collectors on Gold. It was a fun night.

What Alteisen said and also to get rid of the error it the future. Simply go to the change/select character screen and pick any character and it should fix the glitch to have its actual point count. It's possible you can get banned for it but basically just don't abuse the system and Bioware shouldn't have any reason to ban you over the minor edit.
