[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[Windry]

Ya, I don't use the double zoom at all. The way it works though is that you can hold right click to zoom like normal and keep it there. It's only when you hold left click that it does the double zoom, so for me I just hold right click and rapid tap the left click when I want to fire to try to get all 3 shots going ASAP.

Part of the problem with Krysae is that it has no ArPn, and even with the mod/ammo, you still can't do damage to guardians from the front. I think all explosive shots (Falcon/Striker/Krysae/Arc Pistol) are like that. It's weird too since in the description it specifically says it has armor pen. So if you shot the Krysae at a Brute's shoulder for instance, it won't do damage, but it should knock off his metal shoulder pad.

Sadly though, I've noticed that my Krysae still does similar, if not better damage against armored targets compared to my Valiant (with armor pen mods). Of course I have Valiant I (mmm Hurricane III) vs Krysae X.

Oh ok, another 2 things I thought of.

1) Just like a Brute having those shoulder pads, cannibals and husks get that armor buff from Marauders, so if you noticed Krysae doing no damage to those, it's because the first shot knocks off their armor, and then the second and 3rd shot should kill them. Of course this is inferior to the Valiant with armor pen mods.

2) Krysae ignores shield gate which is one of the biggest reasons it's the strongest sniper riffle. As far as I know, Claymore is the only other gun that ignores shield gate? Maybe Geth Pulse Shotgun. This means with a Salarian, you can energy drain, and kill a phantom in 2 shots.

Question: What the heck is a shield gate?

Like a floodgate, but with shields.

Shield Gate

Had to google it myself.

Getting a bit fed up playing as an adept at the moment. I've specced it for the big biotic explosions yet they're getting stolen by other people. It's fine when I'm playing with friends (we've all got our adepts set up roughly the same), but with randoms the normal huge damage explosions are like wet noodles =[

So essentially, its a magic shield thats behind the shield that is removed in one shot that is only activated and deactivated when the primary shield goes down and only lasts for the shot that took down the shields.

Space magic.

Who needs armor penetration with a mail slot.

Shield gate is the reason you see some Infiltrators with the Geth Shotgun etc, it fires 3 shots so bypasses it.

Why is it that I have the unhealthy urge to tear off the suit of every volus I come across?

Bungie started it with Halo, you might want to take it up with them.

More likely the shield robs the shot of a lot of kinetic energy as it pops.

You ever try hosting your own game?

[Scorage]

I can't connect to MP. At all. Can't even get to the menu, character selection, anything.

"You have been disconnected from Mass Effect 3 Server. Connect again."

Nothing else. It pops up everytime I click on Multiplayer from Main Menu.

Tried a few things, all I have left is removing the game and Origin and then reinstall both.FML

Happened to me the other day. The problem persisted for a few hours and then just went away.

I just did it choose live chat, waited 2 minutes, the guy fixed the issue and I got... Hurricane III. It's OK, someone's gotta play those Turians right?

Would that work if I'm on the xbox?

I would assume so. As far as I'm aware it makes no difference what version you play when it comes to customer support. Either way, the worst they can do is say they can't help you, so why not try?

Yerh I was just asking to make sure, but I will try. Ty
