@Arppis: Where did this info come from? From what I have read here and other places, the readiness level can be obtained (completely) through sp, but that mp and fb can help make it easier to obtain

power of your forces to the final confrontation, you need to increase
your Readiness score, which is the percentage of your fleet that you
will bring to end game.

Your Readiness score can only be increased
by playing Multiplayer (which you can play by yourself), or the
facebook or I-OS game. Unless you do, you're GAW will be stuck at 50%
and you'll be hard pressed to get a good ending. The bad part is that
your Readiness decays over time, something like 1%/day, meaning you have
to keep playing those things to stay at full power..."

Is this true? I mean... You will have a lot more harder time to get the good ending if you DON'T play the multiplayer?

If so, that blows.

Wait what?...
Or my english is o broken... Or that thing is saying that we only can get 100% on readiness only by playing GaW

I hope not, I think it just means that the default readiness in the game is 50%, and you can increase it both by doing things in single player and multiplayer.

[AngusJimiKeith]

I'm more concerned about readiness decreasing over time. I get the chance to play maybe once a week...How am I supposed to keep my readiness up to get the "good" ending????

Of course, they did say we could get the best ending through single player alone, and this seems to contradict that, which also sucks....

1. The developers say all platforms should get a simliar experience.
2. ME2 had 2 hotkeys that could be customized on the xbox 360 namely the 2 shoulder buttons. They didnt even let you change what power was hotkeyed to the y button. Yet people still managed to enjoy the game and get every possible achievement.
3. If they were to give pc players the ability to hotkey everything under the sun it would not be a similar experience to the other platforms.
Therefore they most likely won't (or at least should not) allow massive hotkeying on the pc version of ME3.
ME3 will be a great game for all platforms so don't worry about getting unfair advantages on the pc port. Rather concern yourself with what palythrough you want to do first.

Aw, come on. It has nothing to do with unfair advantages on the PC port ot hotkeying. It is about practicity and easiness of gameplay. Did you play ME1? On the PC? We can select weapon type with F1 to F4 keys. No need to pause the game, interrupt the flow of a hot combat, to do it. What I understood from the twit by @manveerheir is that weapons selection is back in ME3.

Now, Double clicking on a Menu Item or pressing the Enter key usually is the same as mousing over 3 different buttons spread across the screen which is not very practical. May be it is with a controller but there is no reason whatsoever to dumb down control capabilities on the PC only because other plataforms don't have it.

In ME1 we can zoom out of a planet with Right Mouse Button or ESC and we can zoom in with a left click + E, or double click or hoovering over the buttons on the screen and clicking on them.  In ME 2 we can double click to enter the orbit, plot a jump, etc but the zoom out was removed. It is unpractical and annoying. It has nothing to do with the game.

The game is pretty good in whatever platform you choose to play it. But if the PC controls are dumbed down, one who doesn't play on the PC has no right to say anything about what PC gamers complain about. Similar experience has nothing to do with it. Similar experience is about the ability to beat the game under the same conditions, difficulty level, etc, in all platforms.

And it has nothing to do with costs because they spend a lot more recording codex entries that most people never even listen to.

I just got this info from Kotaku user.

I just wanted to ask if this is true or if you guys have heard anything like this. That said, this info MIGHT be bogus, but he did tell how Pavel events go and such. I left him a message asking his source. So I'll be checking that when he gets around sending me a message.

This new official ME3 messagaing really has to something no one, will totally not see coming, if it means both this thread/the twitter thread gets unsticked. 

Sucks but oh well, keep this amazing thread alive indeed people!

That's like your fourth cancellation...

HOW MANY COPIES DID YOU PRE-ORDER, WOMAN?

[DragonRageGT]

I don't buy it. It seems fake. It was said that the good ending was only be easier to get by playing mplayer. It was never said that it would be impossible to get it only through single player as that info is suggesting. It smells...

Kotaku user had it. But I'm having no luck at getting a PM from him atm. Maybe he will answer me later.

So you guys can take it as rumor instead. I just wanted to know if anyone else can confirm anything like this.

This info says the same. It says that the multiplayer makes getting it easier.

As you see: "You will be hard-pressed to get the 'good' ending."

I'm guessing if you do absolutely everything in the single player, your GaW rating would be so high that you wouldn't even need a high Readiness multiplier in order to "win" the game.

Indeed, and it sucks massive, stinky balls for those of us who don't have internet for a solid third of the year.

EA is discriminating against rural customers!

"There are those who has played the game posting info at Something Awful forums. At least one is a freelance writer for games publications and one works at Bioware.", his words.

[FeralEwok]

Thinking bogus.

Decaying precentage over time is absurd because this is not some competetive MMO to see who has the top Readiness level. Having a facebook account should not determine the fate of the galaxy...It seems like someone was just BSing for a few laughs and gave you some bad info. If what was said was actually true, then I would actually consider not playing the game. I dont want to have to go the extra mile and buy or help advertise this game through other media simply to get the ending I want.

Galactic Readiness is kinda neat gimmic but if you throw in crap like that you will ruin a game.

No sh*t.  THIS is the kind of thing that ruined SC2: Wings of Libery for me.

Well, that and a totally lame plot, infinite retcons, and a character I really, REALLY hated.

Well this Readiness level tidbit directly contradicts what we've previously been told about MP, so I don't buy it.

I'm not 100% convinced either. That's why I came here to ask about it, if anyone heard anything about this.

But yeah, basicaly he messaged me that he can't provide anything else as they are under "non-disclosure agreement". So take this as a rumor.

And the text basicaly said that you CAN get the good ending, but it will be harder than without MP and Facebook games.

[CroGamer002]

You can get best ending with only SP campaign.


And other ways don't guarantee you best ending either.
