I got my first Valkyrie today.

Valkyrie 1
Crusader 2
Valiant 4
Hurricane 5
Eagle 6

EDIT: Also, to anyone who decides to start playing MP on the PC, add me (Origin ID: N7CalignoBot). I'll run you through some silvers to help you get on track.

Anyone have the PS3 version? .-.
Sure playing on Bronze is

okay

, but when on silver and I can't do

shit

because randumb people are incapable of doing

anything

cohesive to the objectives.

PS3 users seem to be the rarest out of the three.

=[
T'would make sense though. Only CD's they've had were 2 and 3, and 1 only came out with the trilogy set for the system, sooo.. blegh.
Guess going to the 'official' forum or wherever-google-can-find seems like the best option.

Umbrage · Post Post #3104 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 8:10 am

nah, they've released 1 separately alongside the trilogy set

there's a small but dedicated group of PS3ers, just post a topic on BSN saying you want some friends to do silvers and you'll get a few replies

you usually meet a better class of people on gold, if you can handle it

all you really need is one good loadout to start doing the occasional gold for credits - for me it was the kroguard.

Well, thanks to the shameless purchasing of equipment boxes right out of the gate (My excuse being "well since I had it on the 360 I can do it here"), I have enjoyed the ridiculousness of a salarian infiltrator armed with a widow.
Other than that and the drell vanguard I fool around with, I don't have much. But having the help from people I can respond to post-gameplay will make silver and above easier.

Is there still that spot where you can farm for gold in that frozen-industrial map whose name I forget?

Ankamius · Post Post #3106 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 10:00 am

Firebase White. The farm spot there is still doable, but it's definitely harder.

Farming is really boring either way. The big farm setup now is Rio/Platinum >_>

Just brought the Trilogy for the PS3. More excited about it that I really should be since we have all the games on the PC anyway. But still...Squuuueee. I'm thinking that I might be a badass reneFem Shep to try new stuff.

I have only tried ME3 online like once and I didn't have a fun time. Would you guys suggest I try it again?

Ankamius · Post Post #3108 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:50 am

If you want to try it on the PC again, I'll go through some matches with you.

Sotty7 · Post Post #3109 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:52 am

Okay, you will have to hand hold me because I have no clue. Are you on now?

Ankamius · Post Post #3110 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:54 am

Yes, I'm on.

Sotty7 · Post Post #3111 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:12 pm

"Checking downloadable content" times a million. What is this?

Ankamius · Post Post #3112 (ISO) » Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:15 pm

Oh, yeah. There's four multiplayer DLC packs you have to have downloaded first. I forgot about that. ._.

EDIT: Resurgence, Rebellion, Earth, Retaliation are the four.

Mute · Post Post #3113 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 7:09 am

So.
Can't buy packs with ps points no mo'.
fucks sake.

Sotty7 · Post Post #3114 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 8:19 am

ME1 looks great on the PS3

Mute · Post Post #3115 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 8:23 am

indeed.
But the fucking auto-save takes too damn long to save your progress.

Sotty7 · Post Post #3116 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 8:25 am

Yeah that is annoying. It also to me overly long to get used to the controller, but I am enjoying it.

esuriospiritus · Post Post #3117 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 11:41 am

I had a dream that I decided to buy the collector's edition of ME3 and then I was broke and stressing out about the fact that I had no money. But at least I had ME3!

Also in my dream I actually had a car and it was cute and I wish I had one like it IRL.

Sotty7 · Post Post #3118 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 1:19 pm

That sounds like an awesome dream fyi

esuriospiritus · Post Post #3119 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 1:20 pm

yep :3 I've been having really vivid/memorable dreams lately. Not sure why, but I'm certainly not complaining.

Ankamius · Post Post #3120 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 1:55 pm

Yay, maxed my first UR weapon. Indra X.

I just disabled it myself to be less annoyed. As a rule though I saved at the beginning of every 'big' mission, and after every few minor missions. Quite a few times that came back to bite me in the ass (like when I pushed the mako off the cliff in Noveria...), but overall as long as you remember to save on your own, it's awesome.

EDIT:
So, on multiplayer, I've been seeing people with pictures on their profiles in the lobby.
How do I get this?

Umbrage · Post Post #3122 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:41 pm

Challenges. Once you get enough parts of a challenge done you can click on 'set title' and you'll get a background.

Ankamius · Post Post #3123 (ISO) » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:50 pm

Specifically, you can check your challenges and progress towards each at this link: social.bioware.com/n7hq/home/challenges/?name=*NAME*&platform=*PLATFORM*

*NAME* = Your IGN
*PLATFORM* = Your platform (pc/360/ps3)

Does the level of difficulty (bronze, silver, gold, plat) matter when it comes to this? I mean, Operation Prophecy seems easy as hell to do..
