Tried pulling up the power wheel as a vanguard in MP and nothing happens.   Is there a way to re-map powers to other buttons? 

If not, I just flat out can't play it.  I'm not going to fumble around with randomly assigned mappings.

You can't. You can't bring up the power wheel on the consoles and although you can bring up the power overlay on the PC version, you can't remap anything.

I don't see what the problem is though, they're the same three buttons you'll end up using regardless.

Wow. You have got to be kidding me, that's rediculous.

It's a HUGE deal because the Y button is a pain to get to while you're trying to keep your thumb on the right thumbstick to aim. So any powers that need aim (most of them), are awkward to use when mapped to the Y button.


-EDIT: changed trigger to thumbstick to avoid confusion

Has anyone found a way to change this or some other workaround?

Speaking from the pc perspective they need to allow you to move keys around for powers, would help a lot if I could line everything up to how I had it in mass effect 2 for two years.

When I played the sp Demo I fell in love with moving charge to the bumpers so I could turn and charge, instead of always being forced to strafe and charge. I put nova on 'Y' because it doesn't need to be aimed. But once I played the MP and found that the powers are default mapped I had to go back to the ME2 style mapping, sad face. I'm now stuck with this mapping for SP in order to not get my muscle memory confused.

I played the 360 demo in multiplayer yesterday for a good ten hours.  I had no problems reaching the Y button whatsoever.

I hate to say this, but just get better at using powers in real time. I can't believe I posted that.... Anyway, use the MP as good practice for the SP.

What does that have to do with re-mapping powers?

Thumb on Right trigger to aim...
wait what?

I play on Default. index fingers to ads(LT)/shoot(RT)/press LB/RB, thumb on thumbsticks/move Thumb slightly up to Y, A, X and B.

Are you sure you're holding your controller properly?

Why bother even posting crap like this?

Obviously I meant Right Thumbstick.    Yes, you move your thumb up to press Y, meaning you CAN'T AIM AND USE THAT POWER AT THE SAME TIME.

Either way, it's stupid to debate it considering it is easy to implement and is a BASIC FEATURE THAT EXISTS IN SINGLEPLAYER.

Okay, hey how about this then.
Shut up and cancel your pre-order if it's so game-breaking?

Wow, way to be civil.   These forums are for player feedback, that's the point. 

Obviously I'm going with option 3:  Post on forums in the hope that a dev sees it and fixes the problem, or at least confirms the feature will be in the full game on release.

Yeah I know what you mean.  I can't bring myself to use Y for biotic charge in singleplayer though, the right bumper is just so much better being right next to the trigger for quick follow up shots.

Player feedback only when it's praising everything bioware does captain Brian, the moment you but criticism in here, constructive or otherwise, the BDF will come at you with their one liners. Per order cancelled is a fairly common one.

Has anyone else playing the pc demo experienced not having your powers mapped to 1,2 and 3? In the short time I've spent with it, I've tried out several classes and after a few the powers were only accessable by holding the command bar button.

This is necessary, I play on PC and for some reason some powers won't move to my quickslots, forcing me to bring up the pause menu and click it.

Same issue my sentinel is unplayable due to this. It would be great if bioware could eithier A) comment on it being a known issue or B) explain what keys to press to map em.

Offtopic: this game seems to lack options for graphics aswell which makes me wonder if this game is gonna wind up another crappy console port

What power do you need that precision on?  There's no Y power that needs that.

Adrenaline rush?  No aim.  Tech Armor?  No aim.  Fortification, Cloak, Marksman?  No aim.  

Charge?  Combat drone?  Reave? Barely needed.  Just need to be locked on the enemy and it always has the same effect.

Singularity and Sentry Turret are the only ones that you possibly have an argument on and honestly they're not bad at all.  Singularity weaves around corners a lot better than in ME2 and Sentry Turret's arc is anything but precise in the best circumstances.  


There are no other powers that map to the Y button that you need to be concerned with.

Biotic Charge.

And honestly, I'm not going to argue with you about it, I've already stated my problems with it and obviously I'm not alone in this so I don't see the point in saying it's a non-issue.   If you don't have a problem with it then that's fine, that's your thing, but just saying it isn't an issue doesn't make it so.

When ever I use the Y button with and aimed one, my movement thumb switches to aim whilst the other presses Y for a moment.

Yes, I know it's a bit of a pain, but that is making a mountain out of a mole hill. It's a one button thing and I haven't had any issues with it, since that's how I did it in ME2.

Oh, and as for Biotic Charge, you don't have to be super accurate, as long as they are your central target, it highlights the enemy and then you press it.

There are people who have a problem with this and want an answer from devs. It's not like we're asking for something out of left field here. You can re-map in singleplayer, it's a very simple game mechanic, and there is NO good reason to remove that from multiplayer.

You can make the argument all you want that it's not a big deal or whatever, but you're just saying it's not a big deal for YOU, and you don't speak for me or the others that take issue with this missing feature.
