[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[shimargh]

Hm... so, we could solo bronze on a krogan, vorcha, or batarian and achieve the Squad goal?

this is confirmed:

@BioEvilChris
Operation Savage update - Solo matches DO count and full extraction is NOT needed. Have at'er!

[skyburn1]

If there's one single thing the multiplayer is missing right now is a way to show us if we've succesfully completed the individual goal and how far are we from the victory pack goal.

yeah we need notifications at least for squad goals.

[Nerraw]

Yes. The entire squad must be made up of only krogan, vorcha, or batarian. If there is only one person in the squad that qualifies as the entire squad. Full extraction also isn't required just extraction. But that requires a non-solo match in order to be of use.

Sounds like I need to dust off the good old krogan vanguard.

And we still don't know if that was a reason for the Reapers or not. Just because it isn't mentioned like a leak claims doesn't mean it wasn't a reason. The Catalyst didn't reveal everything. We could learn in a DLC that Dark Matter is a real threat and how it is impacted by Galactic Civilization. There are lots of things in the Mass Effect Universe that aren't explored but that doesn't mean all of those things are no longer true.

Oh, I know. I'm just thinking out loud most of the time when it comes to the ending. ^^

And it's on purpose that not everything is revealed, they said so months before the release. Which only strengthens my belief that we haven't seen anything near the end of the Mass Effect universe just yet.

But, everything got delayed by almost half a year because of an uproar. >.<

The way I've understood it, they don't actually have the numbers until after the Op is over.

Yeah it does suck that we have any DLC delayed even a little bit by having to do the extended cut DLC. I just hope the first "real" DLC released is something like Shadow broker or Overlord rather then a vehicle pack. Unless of course we have vehicular combat in multiplayer.

And yeah they don't really have a way to monitor the numbers in real time. A stupid way to build the system in hindsight but from what little they have stated they have to actually pull server logs and get the information that way. They could have made the system better but it sounds like it might be a lot of worker to make it more user friendly.

Hmm, I think I'll soloing the squad goal a shot with my Vorcha Sentinel (Regen/Flamer/Reegar build). Probably against Geth since they have no one-shot attacks. Think that would work?

I'm sure I would be able to do it with a Krogan Vanguard but haven't unlocked the class yet. :-/

Personally prefer the Cluster Grenade over the Flamer, knocks them back to get out of cluster situations
Probably going to stay on Gold anyway for the creds. Still plenty of troopers.

Its almost a phenomen.

Synthetic chicken, after Green Beam ofc, tastes like . . . silicon.

Just got a laugh, and thought i would share it.

[Adam Jensen]

Had to post this. First time I did that fight . . . I couldn't help but focus on the insanity of it all. Just one human, standing out in the open, with nothing but a laser painter and an armada of quarian ships in the sky. . .

Then it takes 4-5 orbital strikes just to kill it.

I didn't know whether to be taken back by the badassness of this scene, or the ridiculousness. I mean honestly, who does that? Who laser paints a freaking REAPER while standing out in the open?

Commander Shepard, that's who.

Well Shepard launches 4 suicide missions a day, one of them is bound to be something incredibly ridiculous.

[rhorle]

Well looks like quarian engineer got its buff's, along with combat drone users. To bad they can't be used for the squad goal.

Heh, reminds me of this banter between my two favorite squadmates.



Well, skip to 0:52.

Yes! YES!
My quarian infiltrator approves of this!
I just love it when my favourite character gets buffed.
Im not used to it, my main is a warlock.


@orissa i like how Shepard says "most of the time"

Quarian infiltrators would only be getting a buff through the viper sniper rifle. Since only female quarian engineers have sentry turret. Though I'd rather use a different sniper rifle then the viper so I don't really see that as an infiltrator buff.

But its the female quarian thats awesome.
Sabotaging Geth Primes and Atlases to make them kill their friends, tossing sentry turrets to mow down troopers and causing mayham on the battlefield.
Not to mention it got Talis hips.

I dont know why i wrote infiltrator, i think im too tired.
Tho infiltrator with sentry turret would be pretty sweet.
