They made it much slower to level because you don't need to prestige and other good reasons.

Andromeda had a lengthy development period where they could have implemented anything other than ME3MP with even fewer features than the original, other game modes seem very unlikely.

Well, I just unlocked the Asari Duelist and it seems super cool. I really, really like it. About the only that irks me is charge being skill 2 as opposed to 1. But, even if I can't change it in game, I have a steam controller and can easy change it anyway

They could do a minion mode where the opposing four players control minions/tanks.

But I'd rather Bioware fix their game instead.

This is actually a secret buff because the "2" key is farther from the "~" key. I unlocked her the other night and spent most of my first game just teleporting through poo poo for the gently caress of it. And speaking of Asari, just :lol:

:lol:

at the double-dipping biotic points the adept gets; I'm averaging 25-27k in gold by just hanging out in groups of raiders/adhis and melee'ing them (anyone who takes the 30% shield on kill instead of making every red health enemy float is a goddamn idiot). If they don't buff guns enough (they won't) but buff combo damage a bit (they might), I may never have to level or play another character. Unless the Kineticist is as fun as people say she is. Or maybe I'll finally get a Vanquisher and Turian Soldier will get some more play, I'm pretty sure it's the only gold weapon I haven't pulled a single card for yet.

Back in me3 I built some autohotkey scripts to map to mouse buttons. Most were standard 1/2/3, but it had alt configs I could hit with shift-f2. So powers I never wanted to hit just weren't mapped or things were reordered. And I just had a sticky note saying class x and y were F2, z was F3.

You can also disable the tilde with AHK. Just set it to override the key to run a script. And then close it without doing anything.

I feel like they're teasing new content so hard with some of the classes, especially Kineticist since she's currently the only one that has Ascension. They're dangling that carrot of there being a class that has Ascension and Singularity or a modified version of Charge or something.

What is Ascension?

It's the offensive passive ability for the Kineticist. Once you score enough kills (6 to start, but it gets reduced with upgrades) you can activate a mode where all of your powers have no cooldowns but consume shields to use instead, and you gain 100 Damage Resistance. The effect ends if you lose shields. It's one of the things that makes her unique so I hope that other characters do not get it, actually.
