BioWare games excite people because they get to play in a world with great characters.  Liara, Tali, Mordin, Leliana, Merrill, and others are all so great, but the drawback to that is that you play by yourself, and then share your adventures in places like this forum.

 

The MP aspect of Mass Effect 3 was the thing that broke that solo experience open so perfectly.  We got to play in the Reaper War with each other withe same style of gameplay as we had with Shepard, and the way in which BioWare translated that made for over 1,300 hours of gameplay for me over two and a half years, SP and MP combined.  My friends and I got Best of the Best banners together, and those months of teamwork and figuring out the kits and combat strategies were the most fun I ever had gaming.

 

Seeing what they've shown from the DAI MP, I think they've kept what works, and changed/added elements based on what they learned from ME3 and what a Dragon Age co-op mode would need to feel like Dragon Age.  PLUS we get a great-looking story that has the potential to be BioWare's best ever.  I can't wait to play this game.

There has been no shortage of great news re: Dragon Age: Inquisition, but all of this chat about the multiplayer and the way that they've just brought so many great things to the forefront shows why BioWare is the best developer out there.  News and details would be great, but they won't make November 18th come any faster (which is what we all really want in the first place)!

 

The game looks unbelievable--Destiny will get us through the next two months, but I'll be dropping it like a hot potato when Dragon Age Inquisition gets here.  I have never been more excited for a game launch than I am for this one 

100 essays left to go.  Cannot WAIT to get back to galaxy saving and to Jolly Aggravation...

Whatever we were before, we [will, on October 7th be] THE INQUSITION.

Prolonging the agony of waiting.

AWESOME

A few friends of mine and I went last night, and I feel very much that this might be the best of the lot; however, it occurred to me afterward that as all of them tell a different story within the same overarching narrative, one doesn't need to pick a favorite.

 

Still, the movies seem to be getting more and more polished as they continue to rake in the cash, and with a tight story, super-cool shield-beatings and a flying rocketpack wingman, Cap 2 didn't disappoint.

 

What did you guys think?

Yo dudes-

 

I started following this particular vlogger a bit ago, as he was featured on Bungie's community focus and provides good updates and info on Destiny when he gets it.  His most recent video--each are about 5 minutes are so--came out this week, and talks about Guild-building and character customization!  I'll post these as he does.  I feel like there are too few words to describe how sweet this game seems right now...

 

For our faithful shield-boosting and revive-spamming bankers from Irune, the voli:

 

This applies to all matches, all characters, whenever we're blasting on baddies: 

 

Lol agreed.  How else do you describe that many biotic booms?

 

This works for any Infiltrator, really, but I personally like it best for the vanilla human Infi.  Sticky booms=dead enemies.

 

STICKY BOOOOOOOMS

This is a great idea.  Also: how did you get the video to show up in the post?

Yeah, me neither.  I spent exactly one weekend playing SWTOR, but the whole MMO style really didn't appeal to me--I really didn't want to pay to play, but you kind of have to do that if you want to make any progress.  Not having voice chat or real friends to play with probably decreased my inclination to play, as well.

 

This is a good article I read a while back about the difference between Destiny being not an MMO, but rather a "shared-world shooter".

It helped me understand that it is going to be rather more of a cooperative game setting with shooter elements.

Customization looks off the charts detailed.  I hope the beta will have this kind of stuff to try out.

Head over to the forums to check out some info for you new members!

Hey new members--

 

We haven't played with some of you yet, so a few things:

 

1) We're currently playing Mass Effect 3 on Xbox 360, and that's the plan for the next few months.  There's usually at least a group on every night of the week.

 

2) We'll be playing Destiny on Xbox One on September 9th, and to Dragon Age: Inquisition on both 360 and Xbox One whenever that comes out--hopefully with multiplayer, and hopefully soon.

 

3) Some of our senior members would love to help with banners, challenges, etc., so feel free to hit us up any time.  Most of us will play any map, any enemy, any level.

 

See you out there, saving the galaxy!

See and here I thought that you started with mocking, and slowly moved towards scolding, and finally to passive aggression for the rest of the match!

Now that is how to troll your teammates.

That's it.  Too long, so I made up this message board to pass the time.

Salarian infiltrator w/ Valiant VIII. Headshot central.

I'm banking on Dragon Age: Inquisition having a co-op MP component--hopefully something very similar to ME3MP--but my group is already making big plans for Destiny, which looks spectacular. Both of those games should provide a couple hundred hours of gameplay each.

In the interim, we'll see how Square Enix has done with closing up the Final Fantasy XIII experiment. And while Dark Souls 2 looks tempting, I don't know if I can handle that much punishment again.

Yeah, what ViaNegativia said. There was even an IGN article posted today about the shutdown. Pretty sad.

I can find no such article. 

It's Mass Effect. I'm in.

 The build itself is ok, though I would go for 4a in reave and 5b in passives.
The revenant is... meh on her, consider something more powerfull without speed penalty (when you fire damn thing). Tip: shooty.

Tip 2: Assault Rifle HVB doesn't make sense on caster if you plann to use warp ammo 3/4. Just slap an usual piercing mode AND a barrell for everything but Lazor/Lancer. Or if you keen to use a Revenant on her, and you wan't dat recoil mod so much, just substitute HVB with piercing mode.

I wouldn't reccomend to use it on anything without accuracy bonuses.

Shooty? I guess you're meaning shotgun... Would the Piranha be any good on her?

I've had some good success with the Piranha on her playing Gold, but its accuracy considerably limits the effectiveness of your DPS at range, even with a smart choke.  If you have a Venom, you might try that one, but another good alternative is the Geth Plasma Shotgun, which is among the more versatile shotguns and has worked exceptionally well on the justicar for me in the past.  It complements the bubble and what you can do in and around it.
