From the other thread, it seems you accrue War Assets in the SP game as a score as you go along. Readiness is a multiplier to this score gained from MP/iOS. The multiplier starts at 0.5 or 50%; MP can raise it 100%, therefore doubling the effectiveness of your War Assets. Now, the multiplier, or Readiness level, is supposed to decay over real time. It can never drop below 50%, or the base level if you only play SP.

The rationale is that the War Assets are fleets, armies, etc, you have accumulated. However they are not necessarily at full fighting performance. By running MP spec op missions, or repairing warships on iOS, for instance, you can improve their effectiveness, or battle-readiness. This needs maintaining, hence decay.

In gameplay terms, it means if you don't touch multiplayer, it will make no difference to you. MP will make the better outcomes easier to achieve, but you will not just be able to gain points and bank them forever for all your playthroughs. Decay means you'll have to keep working for your bonus. There should be enough points achievable in just SP, and also depending on some key decisions, to achieve the 'best' ending (after all, it shouldn't be too easy).

At least that is the gist to me from the other thread. Since it is based on leak material, or some other mysterious source, that might all be hogwash. But these are the only details of any kind we have right now.

Scan for 100000000000 units of element zero and you'll be fine.

Pretty much this.

My understanding is that Readiness level is a % and War Assets is a numerical score (#)

Readiness Level (%) x War Assets (#) = Score
So say your readiness level is 50% (the reported minimum) and you get a 'score' of 4000 through the War Assets.
.5 x 4000 = 2000 which determines your score

please don't take my word as gospel that is simply my understanding of it.

Unless there is a second scale we're talking about here, that doesn't make mathematical sense.

It would be more like War Assets*(100%+Readiness Level Multiplier). So in your example it would 4000*(1.0)=4000.

Once you start doing stuff it becomes (for example) 4000*(1.0+0.4=1.4)=5600.

I don't want to spoil the game, but some people have already hacked the demo to check out the achievements, and for every MP achievement there is a listed SP option to get that achievement.

You don't say...

There have been multiple threads on the official list published on some Xbox-site.

If we're able to unlock all of the achievements in the SP, then this one pretty much confirms the option to raise the readiness by doing stuff in the SP:
Defender: Attain the highest level of readiness in each theater of war.

Seems logical - if you assume the validity of the proposition that every achievement is unlockable via SP.

No...the minimum Galactic readiness level is 50%. that is raised via Multiplayer and decays 1% per real-time day (likely once per a rolling 24 hour period) until it falls back to 50%. so what I said makes perfect mathematical sense.

if you're 'Galactic readiness' is 50% because you never play multiplayer or you did play multiplayer and the decay brought you back down to 50%, that becomes your readiness percentage part of the equation.

If you accumulate 4000 points in 'war assets' via singleplayer, that becomes the 'war assets' portion of the equation

Galactic Readiness (%) x War Assets (#) = final score
.5 = 50%

.5 * 4000 = 2000

But again this might not even be how the System Works.

Which in my personal view is a good reason to steer clear of MP, I don't want it made easier.

Let me ask another question then.

Dear Bioware devs.
Will all of the achievements be unlockable in the SP?
Best regards, The PLC.

Based on the list I saw, yes.

Finish all multiplayer maps on Gold or all single-player missions on Insanity.
Promote a multiplayer character to the Galaxy at War or import an ME3 character.
Reach level 20 in multiplayer or level 60 in single-player.
Reach level 15 in multiplayer or level 50 in single-player.
Complete three multiplayer matches or five N7 missions.
Complete one multiplayer match or two N7 missions.
Finish all multiplayer maps or all N7 missions in single-player.


Those are all the achievments I could see that include the buzz word 'multiplayer'

Tadaaaa!

@macwalterslives Will we be able to raise the readiness level in single player, by completing side missions?

@Person_Dude I like the cut of your jib! And your question... The answer, is yes!

Yaaaaay! What does "I like the cut of your jib!" mean though?

it basically means 'I like your style'. Don't know what it means in this context though.

Readiness level can be raised in SP, and it can be raised to 100% with only SP. MP just allows you to raise it without doing a ton of side missions, it is completely optional (to the point that even MP achievements can be unlocked via SP alternatives). The thing is that the MP file affects all playthroughs, not just one.

Ah, now THIS answers all my questions!

And even if it affects all playthroughs (which I don´t like very much), the GR score from the multiplayer decreases every day (? not sure if every day, but I read that it decreases over time). So it doesn´t really mean you´ll always have a big GR score, if you want to have a bleak ending!

Nicely done, Bioware!

This is also some great news! Think I´m too much of a newb to succeed on Gold, but an Insanity playthrough is doable (After much trial and error xD)

I think that it would be pretty stupid to only be able to 100% the game by using multiplayer. What about people that don't have the luxury of an Internet connection/PSN/Xbox Live? Cutting out people like that just because they don't have that luxury would do much more harm than good to the game.

[AlphaJarmel]

It could mean simply that readiness starts at 0% and the cap is 50% for single-player. I'll wait and see how the game actually does it.

Read the tweet in the OP  We'll be able to optain War assets AND raise the readiness level in the SP.

I know. I'm just stating another logical perspective on the matter

whoa what? does that mean ME1-style side missions are back?!

Where did you get this?  Everything I've heard has been to the contrary of that.

Take a look at  Mac Walters´ twitter acc (https://twitter.com/#!/macwalterslives) -> it´s the third tweet there! (also shown on the first post of this thread!)
And everything you wrote in your thread fits, except you didn´t have the information of the Readiness being also able to be raised in SP! (I hope Mac didn´t just misunderstand this...I doubt it!)

Sadly, I´m such a newb I can´t link to particular tweets with the new interface they have now <_<
