Mass Effect 3

You realize multiplayer is directly responsible for the shitty story right?
By buying multiplayer DLC you're encouraging Bioware to keep ruining the plots of their supposedly SP games by focusing on a MP mode nobody asked for.

Casey "artistic integrity" hudson and Mac "the hack" walters are responsible for the shitty story. As long as those two are in command it doesn't matter what else is put in cause that story will still end up being shit. Multiplayer was made by a different studio anyways, at least the MP portion is fun, in fact it was the only reason I and many others kept the game after finishing it.

I still haven't finished the game, yet. I'm at that last possible point before you can do nothing else, so I'm waiting for all the story DLC to drop, then I'll pick it up when it eventually gets discounted, then I'll get around to finishing the game.

As far as I know, ME2's DLC was never discounted. I'm not getting my hopes up that this will change for ME3. That said, I probably wouldn't buy it unless it was something ridiculous like 75% off.

The multiplayer DLC has been free so far... And awesome. I don't know what you're getting at.

Yeah he kind of lost me as well. Single player and multiplayer were done by separate entities as it was already said above. MP has been entertaining and kept me playing the game when I would have already sold it. MP has nothing to do with how BW dropped the ball on the endings. I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

This man speaks the truth.

The post after mine was about spending $ on MP btw.

ME3's story wasn't shitty either. The game up to the ending was fantastic. Nevex is also a fan of ffxiii, so his comments are even more bizzare.

XIII had a good ending though.

ME 2 dlc has been on sale multiple times.

So I finally "unliked" the Retake FB page. Just got tired of all the BS excuses that guy kept coming up with. "Oh I don't have internet access for 4 months HERPADERP" lol...on the DLC front if this allows us to have sexy time with Aria maybe I'll consider it. Although that would be breaking the first rule of Omega.

Don't f*ck "with" Aria and Don't f*ck Aria are not the same thing. >.>;

Krogan Shaman Adept kit now available as a new Rare card

The hazard maps available this week are Firebase Giant and Firebase Ghost

Medals
- Bronze Melee medal now requires 10 kills instead of 5
- Silver Melee medal now requires 25 kills instead of 10
- Gold Melee medal now requires 50 kills instead of 15

Challenges
- Added a Krogan Shaman challenge to Bloodpack Mastery
- Fixed an issue where extracting with the new Retaliation kits was not registering certain challenges
- Challenges that required extraction weren't properly crediting the case where exactly 3 out of 4 players extracted
- The changes below were put in place to fix a bug where some players could no longer progress after unlocking a Gold challenge
- Combat Mastery goal changed from 9 to 12
- Cerberus Mastery goal changed from 17 to 21
- Reaper Mastery goal changed from 15 to 18
- Geth Mastery goal changed from 12 to 18
- Collector Mastery goal changed from 12 to 15

Acolyte Pistol
- Removing charge mechanic - now fires instantly
- Rate of fire is now 40, with a minimum fire time of 1 second
- The overall DPS should be similar, but this fixes an infinite Missile Launcher exploit

Krysae Sniper Rifle
- Can no longer hold the fire button to zoom in the scope - now fires instantly
- This fixes an infinite Missile Launcher exploit

Widow Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [867-1083.8] to [997-1246.3]

Krysae Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [429-548] to [493.4-616.8]

Kishock Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [774.5-968.1] to [890.7-1113.4]
- Percentage of total damage that is done as bleed damage increased from 33% to 40%
- Bleed damage duration reduced from 10 to 5 seconds (the same damage is spread over a shorter duration)

Javelin Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [1030.5-1288.1] to [1236.6-1545.8]

DAAAMN. HUGE sniper buff, especially that black widow. I think the Kishock is finally worth it. I never liked the krysae but its nice to see they haven't abandoned it like the Striker. Acolyte gives you no reason not to sub it with pistol ultra light materials now, reminder that it has a x5 multiplier vs shields and barriers.

Looks like they're looking into the difficulty spike.

Firebase Ghost's hazard version is beautiful. Torrential downpour, proper monsoon weather, screws with your shields if you're wandering the streets in the open.

Yeah I'm loving the hazard stages.

[noblemountain]

wish I could play I added a new antennae outside, but my ping is still 80-120...which makes this still unplayable. There are just no good internet options for me.

Goddamn they need to add those Bloodpack Pistol/SMG to Multiplayer ASAP. I already unlocked the Krogan Adept as well and finally got my Turian Infiltrator. <3

[Brill Weave]

All I'm missing now are both Turians and the Volus Adept. Got the Volus Engineer yesterday and finally got the N7 Destroyer.

[Ikarys]

Ghost Hazard map; looks incredible, not exactly easy to play on.

[Brill Weave]

Collectors are a pain in the ass.

Possessed abominations can lead to explosive surprises.
