i'm messing about with multiplayer now; does anyone have the PC version to mess around with me?

[Ankamius]

Yes, Origin IGN = UnCaligno.

EDIT: I've been wanting to try out some of the classes I haven't yet. I'm waiting for Krogan Soldier to try Soldier, but I might try out Sentinel with humans. I also want to see what happens when you promote your guy.

That's because Origin search is completely terrible.

I still have that little light of hope

that Bioware planned all of this

[Umbrage]

HOLY FUCK

I have no idea what to make of this. Not sure if they're just caving into pressure or if this is all part of their plan.

[JDodge]

So I've started playing a vanguard in MP.



i keep outscoring other people by like 20k, it's like they're all playing classes whose primary strategy is not to just jump at everything and whose reaction to danger is more I NEED TO RUN AWAY NOW than I NEED TO CHARGE FURTHER INTO THEM TO GET MORE BARRIER

[Ankamius]

I played a game roughly 12 hours ago where I had to deal with an Atlas, 3ish Nemesis', and around 12 Centurions

by myself

and ended up winning that fight using only a single medigel.

I didn't even realize I was alone for a bit. The Sentinel died early on and couldn't get revived, and the Infiltrator DC'ed without dying; I didn't even fucking notice until he was gone for a couple minutes. The sentinel dc'ed after doing the first of four upload thing w/e's, and I literally dc'ed right when I was going to go kill myself to get my exp/credits. I was fucking pissed.

Some of the criticism that has been delivered in the heat of passion by our most ardent fans, even if founded on valid principles, such as seeking more clarity to questions or looking for more closure, for example – has unfortunately become destructive rather than constructive.

This right here is pretty much confirmation of the indoc theory. "You're asking for answers to questions, and you're right, but it's causing problems for us"? As in, "we don't want to spill anything out of the bag yet so even though you might be right, we can't tell you"?

"‘Mass Effect 3’ ending will be changed after video-gamer backlash, Bioware announces"

find anything close to that in the announcement

i dare you

"Building on their research, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey. You’ll hear more on this in April. We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received. This is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue."

closest I got

"Bioware announced Wednesday on its website that it will redo the ending to its fabled space trilogy."

I've actually lost a load of credibility for the Daily News after seeing that little gem.

they even go to pull a LOL

"The shape of the new ending also remains unknown. It could be a full-fledged shift, an add-on or a more subtle adjustment, and could arrive as downloadable content or a free update. All of this is to be revealed in the coming weeks."

so basically, they have no clue and are making up bullshit

this, my friends, is why articles are important and their titles are stupid

[Rhinox]

"Bioware announced Wednesday on its website that it will redo the ending to its fabled space trilogy."

And if you actually read the Bioware press release and not the article, you'll see it doesn't actually say anything about redo-ing the ending at all.

This is what they say they're doing. Its more than a huge stretch to say that means they're redo-ing anything.

[UltimaAvalon]

btw I beat ME3 last night

I picked red laser

I'm so angry I nearly quit video games altogether

Spoiler: picture

That guy at the top was N7 level 432 with Level 10 weapons/mods. It blew my mind away.

Almost there

That's kind of the point I was making...

And anywho,

good fight guys

[Flameaxe]

And don't forget the EA factor: New content to add to the ending...for the low low price of $10.00!

[Umbrage]

Heh, no, they have no choice but to redo the ending. They're just trying to save face.

[Ankamius]

The multiplayer's problems are getting to be near unbearable.

[hasdgfas]

you should elaborate.

[Ankamius]

Just earlier I had random lagspikes. It was absolutely unplayable, but mysteriously went away as soon as I left the game. I've had this happen several times, but not in a while. I strongly doubt it's only my internet acting up.
I've experienced a bug a few times where I'd be stuck in random spot.
Finding games is pretty damn difficult in the afternoon or at night. I can understand people not being on at 2:00 AM, but in the fucking afternoon?

There's a few other random gripes but they're either nitpicky or bypassable.

Could be the hosts internet, the games aren't hosted on biowares servers. If you're talking about the get stuck outside the map bug, that's been in there since D1 and Vanguards in particular have it happen all the time. Solution is to host the games yourself, if you're internet's good enough to do it, then it doesn't happen.

EDIT: Actually, I'm talking PC here, don't know how it's set up on the consoles, may be different.

[Ankamius]

That makes sense. I tend to have the least problems when I'm hosting, and my upload speed's good enough to host a small room of people.
