Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

My favorite glitch so far was some robot killing me 10 seconds before the round was over, when something propelled my ragdoll far into the abyss past the helipad, causing my body to endlessly reappear on the edge of the helipad only to go tumbling off again and again

Press esc, then use the arrow keys to move the arrow to other people and then x to mute.

Leveling up an Asari Adept myself at the moment, definitely seems like a class that wants all the skill points. I'm assuming throw is what gets ignored? I've seen it mentioned that you can do 6/6/6/6/1 a few times or some combination of that, but I don't have any characters at rank 10 that I'm actually using yet to know.

The adept and sentinel definitely feel like the weakest common classes. I feel like I can't do anything meaningful to big armored enemies with them (and singularity's cooldown is massive). The infiltrator and engineer especially don't have such huge deficiencies. Although I am wary of investing much in the turret, since in mass effect 3 turrets mostly became paperweights that would explode if an enemy looked at them too sternly on gold. I only ever used the geth turret as a medic station.

Overload and cryo beam are really fun to use and the infiltrator just seems solid in general, so they've become my favorite of the common classes.

The Vanquisher is the most OP sniper ever. A 4 round magazine means a class with turbocharge can boost that to 8, and each round oneshots mooks and can oneshot the next tier with good aim. At least on bronze. I have yet to try out silver or above.

Having a blast charging and novaing groups on enemies on bronze. The jetpack makes the game a lot of fun. I think Bioware hit a home run with this game, and it's only going to get better over time.

Objective waves are timed, did you lose track of what round you were on? No judgement, it's happened to my entire team (including myself) before.

It was wave 1 :(

Also I can report the Dhan is a loving monster. I guess it's kinda similar to a GPS? Fires a big tracking round that does massive damage, two rounds per clip, no chargeup.

Having tons of fun with a Krogan Vanguard and the Asari Sentinel. Really liking Backlash.

Also got the Venom Shotgun from an Advanced pack. Initial testing shows its pretty good on Bronze, not sure how well it will hold up later.

Yeah, I don't care about single player right now. I'll start it up after I've capped the loot boxes. I still think strike teams are worth doing because you can spend the resources on character respecs.

They're also how you get equipment. Seems to have been disabled for the trial, but I can buy the max shield/melee damage equipment for 120 now, or thermal clips for like 90.

I don't think any gear has shown up for purchase on PS4 yet, I guess I'll just keep unlocking more teams. Also unless there is some hidden amount of free respecs, it doesn't seem to be requiring me to purchase the respec consumable right now.

What are people feeling is the best way to purchase boxes when getting started? I spammed advanced boxes for a bit and I've ended up with Krogan Vanguard, which is letting me headbutt my way through bronze pretty comfortably.

Should I just save for high tier boxes, or crack middling boxes to try and get stuff to push me into Silver?
