Thought I'd like to give my thanks as well.  No game in the past new decades has captivated me like the Mass Effect trilogy has.   The unforgettable characters and the worlds you've created are truly magnificent.  The multiplayer component, which I still get online and play, is in a class of it's own. 

Eagerly looking forward to MEA...

I recently ran into this same issue,  killing everything with one shot including banshees quickly became very boring.  

Would be better for those who do choose to mod their game to play their multiplayer games in private.

question:   has it been mentioned at all if Mass Effect Andromeda will be exclusive to windows10 on PC? 

-played bronze for way too long before trying silver/gold

-I have never specced a character for melee,   I just never play as a melee character at all

-I hate phantoms, gimme guardians all day

-favourite guns:  Geth Plasma Shotgun  and the  Black Widow

-I wish I was better at using the Javelin

-favourite characters:  SI and the GE,   I never play as a Krogan

-did I mention that I hate those pesky acrobatic phantoms from hell

-I call my QFI "Jiggly Bum"

-I tell myself I just play for fun,  yet I still end up checking the score after each round during play  and  I hate coming last even when playing with people who are clearly better than me!

I'm gonna miss my GPS,  shotties that are fairly light but can hit things at a fair distance away would be ideal...

Assuming the classes stay pretty much the same, I'd probably start as either an infiltrator or an engineer

I'm 53,  reflexes aren't the best either,  but I'm still online when I can, still enjoying the game and looking forward to the next one!

what! no love for the GPS ...

I'd say a definite Yes to including piercings and tattoos,  the more you can customise your character the better...

Sadly yes and no.

 

From what we've heard MultiPlayer will be sold separately and require a 19.99 USD a month subscription. You can thank guys like Mordokai and QaurianMasterRace who kept telling Bioware that ME:A should be MP only because they generate more income for the company over time and repeatedly iterate their willingness to pay more for the product if they went this route. BioWare are also making the Mako upgrades MP only, which isnt such a bad thing really because it means we get a mako mode in MP. The overall logic is that they can work on each game separately because there are separate teams, this will allow them to release either the MP or the SP as soon as its ready, before finishing off the other. Which may in the end result in a more refined product but ultimately forces people to pay for two versions of the game.

 

Not to mention the paid subscription and the pay to import characters from ME3 option which I feel comfortable calling a complete waste of time and rip off within the same sentence.

 

All in all though what they're offering isn't that bad when you think about it. I'll pay but I'll probably complain about it later. 

God,  I hope you're joking and there is no monthly subscription fee for the multiplayer component...

Usually play Silver or Gold, available most evenings and weekends, feel free to add...

I didn't really understand the need for the "galactic readiness rating" in SP,  I played both the SP and MP and enjoyed them both. They were both strong and popular enough to stand-up on their own merit without the need for an incentive.  Personally I like to see both the SP and MP achievements/rewards kept separate...

personally I wouldn't want to ruin it by pasting my mug shot into the game!   I would like to see an improved character creation system...

you have to have Billy Connolly in there somewhere...  would be funny to hear some guy pop-up with a Scottish accent!

I love playing the multiplayer game,   from someone who never got into other multiplayer games,  I always tended to stick to single player games generally.  I've played thru the single player game several times, it wasnt until i attempted the multiplayer coop game that I thought, geez! what have i been missing!,   some 600hrs later I still enjoy it...

offline mode continues...

highs:   I just love this game, best bit = poppin heads with my Black Widow
favourite target would be the guardians,  they're just gimmies...

lows:  phantoms - I hate those acrobatic b#%&#,  they just seem to pop-up out of nowhere!

I'd like to be able to choose powers for each character, as long as it's relevant to the class they are. Like replacing Shockwave with Throw for the regular Human Adept and replacing Hunter Mode with Hex Shield for the Geth Trooper for example.

Maybe doing away with the set classes altogether,  you just choose to add whatever powers you want to your character and make them totally unique!

favourite class:  Infiltrators

favourite kits:   QFI,   GI,   QME,    GT

favourite weapons:  Black Widow,  GPS,  Reegar

Hi,   is it true that certain weapons don't perform as well off-host?     

I've seen on some posts that the GPS is one that doesn't perform as well off-host,   is this true?

Are there any other weapons affected by whether you host or not?
