The Diane Allers one is without a doubt from a private build, there is no way on Earth Bioware would have ever released that picture.  Also alot of the comments he's made has been stuff that wasn't released at the time he said it.  He's played a build, that's without question.

Considering that what I've read so far seems legitimate enough, I certainly wouldn't bet against it. Stranger sh*t has happened. I wonder, though, just how much information a single source can dig up within a limited timeframe; for as far as the GAW system is concerned, I've yet to read anything that seriously contradicts BioWare's claims.

Jesus Christ, people are making a mountain out of a molehill, again. So what, if that percentage goes down over time, play the single player thoroughly, like you'll be doing anyway. I'm sure not EVERY decision needs to be a certain way to get the perfect ending. And should it happen that you miss some points, just play a few matches multiplayer before the point of no return in single player.

I'll condede that he's played a build, probably.  But the Diane Allers one looks so terrible as to be hilarious (quality and that pose?)

And again, if he really wanted to prove he knew all these things, he'd post more.  Only showing the very limited info he's had probably means he's likely spouting things.

With the exception of the "Decay" mechanic, a lot of his info could be gleaned from the leak.

The Allers one probably means he took it as a Q&A guy to note the bug.

No clue, he already broke the NDA so at this point it doesn't really matter.

Alot of this stuff such as certain mechanics were not in the leaks.

I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case it's just plain curiosity.

The Suicide Mission was 9001 times more cryptic than the Da Vinci code.

I don't expect this to be harder xD

Anyway, decay doesn't bother me, because I'm not striving for MP as much as SP, and I WILL get the best ending from Single Player alone.

[Punahedan]

The decay system is absurd, if it's true.

What happens when they turn off multiplayer? What if I'm one of those people that has a lot of real-life things to attend to and can't always play every day? In-game success should never ever be tied to real-time. Why should the fact that I can't play every day keep me from having the best possible ending if I'm willing to play through it?

I don't appreciate being blackmailed into playing a game. This should be fun, not timed.

[DJStarstryker]

I'm not worried about this. I plan to do all of the side quests and everything anyway. And even if I don't get the best ending, who cares. I'll figure out what I need to do to fix that and run through the game with my main Shep again. I've played through both ME1 and ME2 multiple times to get the game exactly how I wanted it for him anyway.

Don't you listen? You can get the perfect ending with just playing the single player.

They won't turn off multiplayer.
iirc They don't have servers for it, it's the players that host

or am I being stupid and ignorant again

[Shadowrun1177]

I really hope it's not true about the decay mechanic, cause that kind of flies in the face of everything Bioware said about us being able to get the perfect ending without doing multiplayer. It means people will be punished for not playing the game straight through. What if a person is only able to play on weekends for a couple of hours at a time. They would lose 5% a week which could really add up if it say takes them a month or more to finish a play through they would end up losing 20% or more cause of the decay and would never be able to get the prefect ending.

Multiplayer IS connected to the EA server, and EA has a habit of unnecessarily shutting down their game servers after a while. Frankly, I don't expect the ME3 server to still be up by 2014-2015.

Again, what's wrong with you people? It was stated that you can get the perfect ending with just playing singleplayer. ARGH!!!!


EDIT:
And no, decay mechanic doesn't contradict anything. Multiplayer is a substitute for those that don't want to do everything in singleplayer or are really bad at it (make worst decisions).

Hmm.This new information seems...interesting, but for me understandable.

If you don't play multiplayer, your galactic readiness stays at 50%, decay is only affecting extra percentage that you achieve via multiplayer.

[Gill Kaiser]

So long as the decay system only applies to the bonus achieved from multiplayer, that's... ok.

[Klijpope]

There's also the possibility you start with bonus GAW points if you import - possibly even depending on some decisions you've already made.

Bravo! Someone reads...

Imagine ME2, you don't do mining coz it's no fun, some of your companions die - not a perfect ending. What can you do? You must load a previous save and start mining. In ME3 you can do that OR you load up multiplayer and play a few matches. I dunno about you but having more options is a positiev thing in my book.

It's been reported in this thread that you gain 75 points for importing a Level 20 character. Beyond that, nothing concrete.

Once again, an unnecessary s**tstorm by some who do not understand english. Its basically saying, you are rewarded for playing MP, though not permanently which is not the same thing as saying you are penalized for not playing MP.

[Icinix]

Any kind of decay system is dumb.

If you've got work deadlines and need to crank the overtime, or if you've got study and need to give up sleep just to get your assignments done you're giving up whatever you've worked hard on previously. Games should never EVER be affected by your real life time scale.

Hopefully its bull crap.

What this means in regards to the endings is that to get the perfect ending, you have to play through the singleplayer game and do EVERY sidemission to get the perfect ending and you have to do it fast.  You can take your time but you'll have to play the multiplayer or the iOS game to maintain or increase your readiness level.

You contradict yourself. If decay only affects the MP score, why would i have to hurry through the single player game?

If it's only the multiplayer that's affected by the decay system then I won't be bothered. I just hope it doesn't touch any sort of campaign progress. I'd muchly prefer enjoying the game to its fullest and take my time with it rather than being pushed by some aimless real-time mechanic, thank you.

It's not a big deal coz it's just an alternate path, not essential. And i'm pretty sure you won't need to play that many matches in multiplayer to get 1%.
