What's the deal with loot boxes? You want to buy the cheapest ones so the next tiers don't contain bad items? How do you know when you've got all the stuff from the cheap boxes?

I'll probably drop $20bux on currency, when can I open those sweet sweet premium packs for max value?

Buy the cheap ones till you max out the starter stuff then move along to the next tier.

Apex missions can be done with a team so its a good idea to add each other to get those done and get those sweet free rewards.

Oh and RUN THE gently caress AWAY FROM THE ASCENDANT IF HES GOT HIS SHIELD UP, he will one shot your rear end if he gets within range.

MEA bronze seems harder than ME3 bronze was. Or is that just my faded memories of a game I haven't played in two years?

It is harder, largely due to how much more aggressive the enemies are.

The switch from hard to soft cover is throwing me off and amplifying my inner baddie in multiplayer. I also have to find a key set that I am comfortable with since you've got things spread out now for sprint, evade, and tumble over cover.

It's me I'm the newb.

Being in cover also restores your shield faster as well, important thing to remember.

Oh gently caress, that's useful to know.

I'm still getting a feel for the cover system too.

Yep, when the shield icon pops up at the bottom middle just hang around for a bit and you'll get your shield back fast.

Is it just me or does everything have much longer cooldown times compared to ME3? I used to be able to jump into a match with only a pistol (for cooldown bonus) and just juggle my 3 biotic/tech powers the whole match.

Cooldown bonus is different in this, you can only lower the cooldown via leveling the power mostly.

Yea you can't get 200% anymore, the way it works now if you have 100% set cooldown bonus but if you look closely at the bar there's sort of a black line, if you go over that line you get cooldown penalties, otherwise you can gear up with whatever you need.

Like on my Sentinel I can carry that pistol that fires like an SMG and a shotgun and I have only 10% penalty.

Do you think they got sick of things like plat farming or people soloing gold/plat and have adjusted the difficulty accordingly?

I'd say they wanna encourage team work more. poo poo goes south fast if your team isn't working together, but the game hasn't been out long either.

Human Sentinel isn't bad, she's pretty durable and her mobile cover will save your rear end, you can also spec it so you never lose shields so if you have that sticks together you shouldn't have any issues, energy drain can save you in a pinch.

I've been using her like my krogan, just rushing down everything.

Last night I got this sniper rifle from an expert pack and I'm not sure if it's really good or really bad. It kills most mooks in one shot (in Bronze) but if I miss I'm screwed since it only has one shot in the clip.

Got that one as well, its super good just don't miss.

Having fun with the raptor as well though it feels like an AR than a sniper.

Some of the guns need some serious balancing, its kind of hosed up just how drat bad some of them are.

And they need a serious work-around with their audio, enemies are just to goddamn quiet, I just got munched on by a fiend cause I was to busy dealing with other poo poo and they just give no indication, you'd think a big hulking stone thing would make more noise.

Finally got a X character to level 20, and can confirm that you get 85 skill points at level 20 (enough for 6/6/6/6/1). I think rank I characters only get 62 skill points at level 20 (so 6/6/5/2/1), but I haven't leveled a rank I character to 20 to confirm.

Asari adept was the first class I got, haven't really touched her though, enjoy Sentinel to much, I did get a Turian Soldier last night and carried a pug team to victory at level 1 though, that was a lot of fun, especially having to do a device thing while spamming my heals when I was close to death cause I didn't feel like losing the mission.

I have the widow and revenant on him, really don't get why ARs so feel poo poo in this, Revenant is the only one I've found that doesn't feel like I'm tickling enemies.

It's not that all ARs are poo poo, it's just that the common and uncommon ones are.

I have the gold tier sandstorm and sweeper AR's and they're both pretty bad.

How are Sentinels supposed to be played? Just run around combo'ing things?

I play mine like a bootleg krogan, run around shooting and punching stuff and when poo poo gets dicey I drop my mobile cover for extra damage and unbreakable shield, they're also a HUGE help in objective wave where the device or hacking thing is in an area with little to no cover.

Any suggestions so far on the most fun class? I have played infiltrator through the whole series so I went that way here too. I am not NOT having fun but I don't feel like the class takes advantage of the way the combat has changed in this game and the open world fighting. I can usually sit back and plink away but it is not as interactive as it felt in the first 3 games and feels kind of lame. I have not played multiplayer beyond one game but if the class is fun there too then that would be a bonus.

Because the game isn't about sitting back and plinking away, be as aggressive as enemies are, hell infils sticky nades do a TON of damage and you can roll with a shotgun to and it gets damage bonuses from your cloak.

I like how the classes have little flavor text on the cards.

One of the krogans got super drunk and missed his ritual to be let into a clan, the asari adept is a former commando who really likes to watch out for the younger team members, the female sentinel is a rookie but really fascinated by all the poo poo going on.

Female infiltrator lost her husband and son. :smith:

Hmm, ok. I will stick with it and see if I can play more aggressively. I am used to being a shadowy badass with Shepard so I'll have to change my reactions.

Also is there a way to check my emails other than going to the terminal in my quarters on the ship? You would think that since I am writing this on the internet from my phone and my email happens to be on my phone too that they might just be able to do that poo poo in the future too but maybe that is hoping too much.

You can't even change your gear on the field in the SP.
