Has anyone gotten or seen a Halberd in-game yet? Is it the Saber with the nameplate scratched off?

Two Finger posted:I think he was prompting me to include that information in the OP. It's there now, and I've written up a short blurb for the weapons I've unlocked to date. Two Finger, you might want to mention the app Apex HQ - available for both Android and iOS devices- buggy and laggy like the main game, but it lists what is available for MP so far. Under the "Prestige" tab is a 'Collections' section. It looks like it lists all the unlockables there: Characters/color tints, weapons, mods, and equipment (what was previously called gear- e.g. the Adaptive War Amp). Oh, and Xbone GT is Rummskull. tribbledirigible fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Mar 21, 2017 |

You can Nova Observers if they are low to the ground, near roof levels, or have a bit of lag that makes the Nova connect midair host side when you're already on the ground.

Nechronic posted:Was reading about this in the ME co-op Reddit. Apparently it's a little tricky and you have to have the orb centered on your shield to properly deflect it. Doing it properly can one shot the ascendant's shield. I have yet to see this in game but I think I have an asari sentinel I can level to test it out. This should work on other big projectiles like not-atlas rockets. Oh poo poo, it's like the Paladin Shield missle backhand, except it can damage enemies!

Zakmonster posted:It's actually 'how many classes and weapons have you unlocked'. While there is a correlation between playing a lot and unlocking a lot of things, I saw a guy with 5k APEX rating on the first day, most likely through $$. The Thokin quickly became my go to AR- the downsides are low magazine size and long reload. But it hits hard and the homing/tracking rounds make sure a good amount of your rounds connect. Plus it's light enough at II that I'm able to run with a level 13 Human Vanguard and not notice the delay too much.

Wilekat posted:Games are connecting fine for me, but now I can't change the mods in my weapons. Just pulled a pistol barrel for 10% more damage and I can't plug it on to anything Try changing the loadout on the phone app? I got hit with that on the XBone last night, along with some connection issues, so I was tooling around on my phone while I reset everything from my router to my switch and the Bone itself.

subroc posted:I've been mostly playing Krogan Engineer because it's one of the only classes that can self combo (with Incinerate -> Overload) so I haven't had a chance to try, but does this game have the melee grab over cover move? No, it does not. But it does have an AoE ground pound if you hold the melee button while hovering or dropping from hover.

Alteisen posted:Why haven't my apex guys gotten negative traits, I keep them sending them on gold stuff and win or lose they don't get bad traits. My Lima team has a positive Remnant Specualist and a negative Remnant Hysteria trait. They somehow completed every Remnant missiin I've sent them on since hitting level 10. I just imsgine the whole squad screaming in terror, but still headshotting everything in sight.

precision posted:Yeah before everyone panics and does the "I'm on fire" dance, remember that ME3MP did balance changes on a weekly/semi-weekly basis. They obviously didn't want to overcompensate in their first balance change. But the problem was they made really fun guns before they got nerfed, and even then it wasn't to bury the gun. Lest we forget: RIP MP Beta Falcon, RIP Krysae on every class, RIP 8 round mag Piranha, RIP Paladin completely making the Carnifex obsolete... quote:They did give the Halberd enough of a damage boost to be useful. Lowering the Mattock's damage and increasing its ROF is a slap in the face to console players who are using the default control scheme though because good luck "clicking" R2 fast, sorry about your carpal tunnel. Can't you guys rebind it to the mouse wheel like in ME3 and get a makeshift Cerb Harrier?

IcePhoenix posted:http://blog.bioware.com/2017/05/09/patch-1-06-combat-balance-updates/ They're trying to make the Assault Turret and Remnant VI a thing. Fine, let them keep buffing Eng classes like in ME3 until we've got techsplosion/ crowd control monsters again. Although it looks like they've done so at the cost of Vanguard viability. The Jugg gear should still make up for it, I hope.

precision posted:Honestly one thing they could do to help the game feel more fun is make switching weapons about 200% faster. It would better incentivize actually using both guns you're carrying. It's no good having an "oh poo poo" button to switch to a close-range fuckoff gun (like the Ushior) when doing so is just going to get you killed. Right now it's almost always better to just loving leg it when you're in trouble. How does the Ushior compare to the Executioner pistol from ME3?

Thor-Stryker posted:If they had passive reload for whatever is the current offhand gun, there would be more point to switch. Right now it's just because you ran out of ammo on the first. No one else laments the removal of the three swing melee combo? The use-the-rifle/shotgun-like-a-baseball-bat-on-third-swing melee?

In related news, ME3:MP is still alive and kicking- with actual new people still hopping in now that it's playable on both the Bone and 360 for us xblive people. I was playing a couple of rounds in ME:A the other day and all of a sudden really wished I had a Saber- any rank. Just to remember what a DMR-type gun should sound and hit.

Of all the things to copy from ME3, they copy and paste the RNG idiocy of the Reserve/Arsenal packs...

Jenny Angel posted:Wait, the Eagle is an SMG too? I just kinda assumed it'd be a hand cannon because there were already two stupidly strong ultra rare SMGs, that's hilarious It's a full auto pistol. Individual shots are piddly compared to other pistols, but having it hit repeatedly makes up for it.

moist turtleneck posted:I still don't understand why they took out over cover grabs unless it was a push from Big Shotgun (not claymore tho) I'm guessing it was a reaction to the farming that went on on FBW. Not defending it being taken out, since they could have just designated a few enemy classes as ones you can't grab, just like their fix in ME3.
