If you're on PC, I believe mouse position will override keys if you actually hover it over an option. Dunno, there's some silliness with this game. I really just want them to fix the weapons damage. Then I'll be all in for another 700 hours of MEMP.

My interest in this mode tanked pretty quickly, I went into the menu yesterday but realized I just didn't feel like playing it. On Friday I was doing Gold runs and it was just four guys on a roof blasting everything with sniper rifles. It was efficient but boring. They have to be careful because there's a lot of discontent about MP online and their statement that you need to buy packs to rank up your guns so that they'll actually do damage didn't win anybody over. You're always going to have geeks like the guy on Reddit who spent $1300 to open 600 premium packs in a row, but you're also not going to get the time investment from most people that you want if they don't have fun and don't feel like killing the enemies is worth the effort.

They were able to adjust gun and power damages weekly without a patch in ME3MP, I'm sure it's the same here. I'm being patient because I know they had to have plans for the MP I really hope they boost xp gains in Gold

Shotguns don't seem to be worth a piss, even on an infiltrator. Can't speak for the crusader though.

...Huh. Have they changed the amount of points you can put into skills or has it been way too long since I played ME3? I got to level 20 on a dude and couldn't even max out three skills. Has it always been like this?

You also need to max rank the character in this. If you max rank the character, you can max 4 skills and have the last at 1.

Just got the game for my birthday! RBAStarblade on Origin. What's the best way to spec a human vanguard in the way of the Novaguards of old? I know I can't hit level 20/666^0 like in ME3 without multiple copies of the card.

ShadowHawk posted:Are the current versions of the multiplayer guns equivalent to the single player ones? No, there are a lot of differences, some small, some large. The raptor does around half the damage in SP that it does in multiplayer, the falcon has a clip of 7 in SP instead of 8 in multiplayer, etc. The incisor might have less recoil in SP but I haven't compared enough to say for certain.

Holy God, I know this is the multiplayer thread but apparently I missed a mass effect single player trophy because I was 'offline' (asari ark) Jesus, at least code your drat game properly. Just a fair warning if anyone doesn't read the single player thread. Always make sure you're connected to online (which for me sometimes cut out while I play the game)

I was offline when I finished the campaign and it didn't show my "Mission Accomplished" achievement for a few days, but now it's showing up on the list. PS4 and I reconnected several times. Well we'll see I guess. It synced up my full power trophy but not the asari ark.

Been thinking getting Andromeda on PC to play the multiplayer, but I keep hearing how the connections are a nightmare. Any of you on the East coast have any trouble with that? I'm also debating getting it on Xbox one if it means a more stable population.

This game is kind of growing on me. My infiltrator is 20, I can now do Silver matches reliably, and I'm almost off Basic Packs. Vanquisher is pretty good but unlike ME3, I can't seem to hit poo poo with a SR. I could reliably quick scope with the Geth infil but I'm not sure whats different about this.

I did one of the apex mission things with my buddy on the weekend and one of the modifiers was 50% increased shotgun damage. Even though it was just bronze it was heaps of fun to use poo poo guns that aren't poo poo anymore and still be effective. The venom exploding shotgun is hilarious and it was great nailing those stupid observers in the eye with a big exploding cannonball. On the flipside, I wanted to try the sandstorm assault rifle and boy does that thing suck. The carnifex does more damage and has better accuracy. And gently caress crashing on wave six. Does this game make a crash log file somewhere cos it would be nice to see what is going wrong instead of just being dumped back to desktop.

My friends and I were discussing this last night while we did some Gold runs. The problem with the anemic weapons is compounded by the fact that the enemies are so drat squirrelly now. They move really fast, they're great at dodging, but every once in a while, they find a good position and stay still to shoot at you. This means staying at range to pop them in the head with a sniper rifle is the fastest and safest option. Also, the difference in damage between landing headshots and bodyshots is too great right now. It's nice that the game rewards you for accuracy and good aim, but at the same time, you're punished for bringing in a bullet hose like the Revenant or the Soned, which honestly have no place in the game. Full auto rifles that are supposed to be massive machine guns need to have some kind of in-built stagger/panic component so even if it doesn't kill people, it might actually be able to CC things. comatose posted:I did one of the apex mission things with my buddy on the weekend and one of the modifiers was 50% increased shotgun damage.

I'm not sure what they're supposed to do that a sniper rifle can't do better. Headshots with non-sniper rifles shouldn't one-shot a mook on gold, but it should really be more rewarding.

I wish they just gave us the ability to make our own weapons and stuff like SP, but then I guess that'd be too much like DAI for some people. I just want my Valkyrie with unlimited ammo like in SP.

Just made it through a bunch of new posts and sorry if this has been brought up: Strike team mission rewards.... Why is there no "claim all"? I went to claim these after they finally fixed the bug which prevented my story mode from continuing past a certain point. It is so slow and painful. The multiplayer experience is what I imagine it would have been like if ME 1 had multiplayer.

I see a lot of comments about Vanquisher being the best gun right now. I just picked up both a Vanq and a Black Widow and it seems as an infiltrator I prefer the latter. Black Widow has 1 less shot in the clip, but more damage such that I can two-shot stuff that may need 3 shots from the Vanq on Silver difficulty. Though both guns are at rank 1 for me, and Vanq being R rather than UR means it will be much easier to rank up.

III, I think? And it's still only at V. At X vs. X there a case to be made for each, but the Vanq is just so, so much easier to max out that it won't be a contest for a good while.

I was of the same opinion until last night, especially since I have a Vanq 2 and a Black Widow 2. But even on Gold, getting a headshot will kill a mook, and those that don't get killed with the second shot, no matter which weapon I use. The Vanq is just much more comfortable to handle, has less recoil and just feels smoother. That said, I'd still probably use the Black Widow, because it looks and sounds better.

Nope, you can see what guns are available in the weapon collection screen. I wanted the Reegar, too, because one of my first class unlocks was the Krogan Merc with the Flamethrower, that was such a cool combo in ME3MP

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned that it seemed like buying two 50k packs seemed smarter than buying one 100k pack because the ultra-rares don't seem much better than the rares, and some of the rares are very good, plus you get ten cards instead of five (or something along those lines). I realize that "what is the best pacfks to buy????? lmao" is the most common question in these threads but I was just curious if there is some new consensus recently, because I'm ~20 pages behind, and like to read the whole thread, but am playing right now. p.s. this weekend boss mission was good and fun. I really hope it will be like ME3 MP where they continue adding and tweaking all the time (for instance making any gun except the Vanquisher good)
