If I want to just unlock the Krogan Engineer as quickly as possible, is my best bet still just to buy the cheapest packs, or should I get a slightly more expensive one until I unlock it? I'm not really sure how the odds shake out for unlocking new classes with each tier of pack. Getting that class is my immediate goal, because I'm a simpleton and incinerate > overload over and over is about as much complexity as I can handle in a class while still being useful to the team (I don't like cryo blast so the human engi isn't as good for me). And krogans look cool.

Digirat posted:Yeah due to absurdly weak combos and the enormous health gains enemies get on gold, combined with not being able to get 3-second cooldowns like ME3, tech powers fall off super hard. I actually think the engineer is the best class when you are just starting the game and using commons on bronze, but by the time you hit gold, a charged overload specced entirely for raw damage to shields will not even take out the shields on a sharpshooter or an observer. And then it's on a huge cooldown so you're back to being Man with Gun who has no survivability. The krogan engineer has more survivability but I do not think cryo beam for incinerate is a good trade. That's a shame, I liked tech a lot in ME3. I'm glad Vanguards are at least still good. And infiltrator looks like it'll be fun if I get my hands on a good gun.

What's the right way to spec/play vanguard in this game (I have Krogan unlocked so I'll use that if it makes a difference)? I'm guessing that the glory days of ME3 where the cooldown on charge was finished by the time you completed the animation for nova are gone; is charge > punch > charge the new always be charging?

You guys vanguard is so fun why do people play anything else Should I pick bastion or the recharge bonus for my tier 6 upgrade?

Shumagorath posted:Recharge bonus all the way. If you're constantly charging you keep your shields up that way. I was expecting to love Krogan Vanguard, but I think I like the human a little better; having quick punches seems a little more satisfying to me than a slow headbutt. Although I don't have the jugg shield yet... I'm also pretty lousy about remembering whether fortify is on or off.

Having tooled around with both human and krogan vanguard I definitely have decided I like Human better, unfortunately. The headbutt just isn't as satisfying as it should be, whereas mashing the falcon punch button just feels really good. Bastion/Shock Trooper aside, how should I build HumGuard? My gut says "ignore shockwave" but I've been wrong before.

I thought I was going to log in to just try a few things in MP tonight, and now it's suddenly hours later and I'm going to be biotic punching in my dreams. I'm glad they didn't gently caress up MP in this one (at least as far as vanguards are concerned)

If all you want is the multiplayer, I'd just get me3 honestly. I think this game has the potential to be real good, and the higher mobility is lots of fun, but the MP isn't worth $60 when me3 is much cheaper. Not yet anyway.

Lightning Knight posted:I don't think there's a build calculator yet but I dunno for sure. I didn't realize that the saving barrier evolution allowed you to survive sync kills, that seems pretty nice to have. I was leaning toward the "restore shields on kill" evolution but it seems like the other one is the clear choice. I wish shotguns didn't suck, because having a weapon with a bayonet attached would just be so aesthetically pleasing for vanguards. Although I guess the optimal weapon being called "the charger" is a good consolation prize.

That's weird that it would show up as two different names in the kill log but "biotic amp" is just the name of the melee weapon, I think. I would be a little surprised if that counts for the purposes of the shield restore, since Melee attacks and biotic powers seem to be two separate things but  This could be a lot clearer lol

I'm playing on PC and I can imagine this game being very hard on consoles, since everything zips around so fast now, and power-based classes are less..uh, powerful. Vanguard would still be fun but anything that requires you to aim a gun at a weakspot sounds like hell to play.

On the subject of strike teams, I'm not seeing a reason why you'd ever want to recruit all 6 of your possible teams. I have 4, and just by popping onto the apex app at work periodically, I've cleared all the possible missions by like 1pm. If anything, I need fewer teams, because it's slower to level them up (still don't have anything that can do a gold). Maybe they'll add more missions at a time later on or something, I dunno.

That was really only bad for me the first night I played the game after the patch installed. It's chilled out a lot since. I'm on an SSD, which is maybe helping?

With 4+ grenade capacity you can cloak, stick every grenade to a hydra/berserker/fiend to do mega damage, then circle to an ammo box and do it again. Become budget Grenade Bastard. I hope this is a feature and not a bug because having the "gently caress off, bosses" button in your pocket like that is amazing.

My Scorpion and Black Widow are still at level 4-ish in ME3 thanks to the RNG loving me over I would think that too, and might actually be tempted to spend a few bucks on some choice gear if I get drunk and lazy enough but I feel like the RNG lootbox method is so prominent now that companies must have figured out that they ultimately make more money off of whales dumping IRL money into the RNG meat grinder than they get from normal people making a few key purchases here and there. I dunno, whatever, it doesn't matter, who cares

If I had to take a guess at what's going on without actually knowing anything, I'd say that me3 was able to be quickly patched and balanced because nobody cared about it and a small team could do what they wanted with it Now that they've realized MP is profitable, people with expensive titles are overseeing it and making bad decisions slowly because all executives are dumb and wrong

If my singular goal is to unlock the Asari Duelist as quickly as possible, how should I be spending my money on packs? I'm a little unclear on how the system works, and there's a bunch of stuff in the Basic packs I haven't upgraded to max level yet, but I don't really care about wasting money, the duelist sounds fun and I just want to unlock it as quickly as possible. Can I just buy Expert packs, or does the system work in an rear end-backwards way where ultimately I'll get her faster some other way?
