New thread

So I learned some interesting things today
Specced right, the Batarian Soldier Power Fist is the single most damaging attack in the multiplayer at 5123 damage

Armor-piercing mods are generally better than extended barrels for assault rifles and pistols

I dropped two million credits this week to try and get some weapon upgrades. Practically fucking nothing.

I was having a shit day yesterday. I played so badly that I was getting washed up in Silver.

I decided to go into a Plat game because my solution to difficult situations is to make them harder. I saw we had one soldier on the team, so I decided to go support by picking the Demolisher. Suddenly, everyone else but one Geth Winfiltrator switched to Demo.

It was Geth on Firebase White. We cleaned the fuck up. It didn't even get hard until Wave 7, and even then it didn't feel out of our hands. Combine the grenade spam with disruptor ammo and we we got was a game where everything was exploding constantly. It was glorious.

Hopped back in for the first time in over a month to hit up the weekend challenge.
Level 6 Turrian Soldier V. Geth on Goddess at the Bronze level.
The game just felt awkward as hell to me and holy shit did they buff the Geth again? I was getting my asshole torn open if I so much as left cover.

I now have a grand total of... slightly over 100000 credits saved up. Which is just enough for a single PSP when the update comes. I'll just uninstall all of the other DLCs except for Earth and the new one... and get a Drell Vanguard and Geth Plasma Rifle card as per usual.

I'd probably play this game a lot more if unlocking things wasn't just a tremendous pain. Seriously, if there was a $5 DLC option what would just unlock stage 1 of all weapons and characters I'd buy it. It's killing me not having things I'm excited to try and use nor will ever get thanks to the way items are obtained.

I can't be the only person who thinks Geth waves are brutal. The one "basic" unit rarely spawns, the rocket troopers are a constant pain, and the hunters and pyros are pretty much mini-atlases.

Ultra Rare characters is easily one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of for how to improve the game. And yet the Volus wouldn't make sense as anything but.

So me and a friend tried out Hazard Reactor. It's a very interesting way to take down enemies, and fortunately for my dumbass friend who got stuck in there, it only broke down his shields. Unfortunately, The two Brutes we lured in there just clipped through the door and grabbed me, which I was somehow lucky enough to survive.

Does anyone know if Volus are immune to grabs? Considering the poor little guys have worse health than the drell, that might be a good thing. Also these new weapon mods are kinda retarded. Increasing your weight by 50% for thermal vision? Jesus Christ.

I don't know I've seen people actually survive it. It's pretty godamn intense and I have no idea if that's a bug or not.

Also I feel for you, shit teammates... and the random number system are the bane of this games enjoyment. Did you at least manage to complete the objective if not extract?

- Damage increased from [50-125] to [75-200]
- Impact radius decreased from [3-5] meters to [2-4] meters

Fire Explosion Power Combo
- Like Biotic Explosion or Tech Burst combos, this combo can now occur without killing the target.
- Impact radius decreased from [3-6] meters to [2-4] meters
- Damage decreased from [150-375] to [100-250]
- Damage-over-time damage decreased from [20-50] to [12.5-31.25]

Ya, this is why I quit you ME3, you're nothing but fucking horse shit.
>> No. 164592

There is no possible way you have unlocked nothing since the game came out.

I mean, I spent six months getting dicked over trying to buy Miles Edgeworth, but come on.
>> No. 164593
>>164592
I'm not saying I haven't unlocked anything.
Over the past few DLCs I've gotten a little of everything. Funnily enough, none of the things I wanted, but still.
I also haven't maxed out anything save a few character cards.
>> No. 164594
>>164593
Then go smaller. Veteran packs so you can max out the blue and silver cards. Why do you keep uninstalling your DLC? Wouldn't that just fuck up your chances even more?

And if worse comes to it, I'd suggest going to Bioware and asking what the fuck.
>> No. 164596
>>164594
Aside from the Mattock and Eviscerater I couldn't give a crap less about silver cards.
As for damaging my chances by uninstalling DLC, it'll actually up your chances as it has less options to pull from.

As I've said earlier though, I've pretty much quit ME3 due to the way packs are. Playing feels like a chore. Maybe if they give us a way to get specific things for real money or stupid high amounts of credits or something I'll come back.

Is there a glitch with the krogan Shaman? He seems far too glassy for having the same stats as the battlemaster. On that note, any advice for a build? I'm having trouble setting up combos with shockwaves, and warp doesn't seem to combo with it very well.

Also scions look retarded. ME2's looked better.

I know, it's more along the line that it's exactly the same as the soldier, but with carnage and no alt colors.
I know it was an exclusive for a while, but he should have been an uncommon tops.

I've been trying to unlock certain guns and the game just wont give them to me. I'm also wanting a good build to actually make using a damn gun useful or something in Platinum, where it seems I should only ever use my Siege Pulses at a distance and then keep them active when things get close, and then just wait ten minutes killing them all with the heavy melee hold. Seriously what do I need to do in order to pack an actual punch?
