You can definitely get EMS up to 4,000 or above without the multiplayer. I did using the ios game. All you have to do is collect intel packets in the ios game and upload them towards galactic readiness. It only took a few hours for me to get from 50% to 100%. If you don't want to play the multiplayer, it is a pretty good option. It does cost an extra $7, though.


but that requires an iphone or ipad, no?

Here's an idea. Stop buying their products until they stop acting like this. Do you people really think BioWare and EA cares about a few whinging fans on their forums? They don't. They care about profit and Mass Effect 3 has sold well so why would they suddenly decide to change their winning formula? As long as gamers keep eating this up they will continue doing it. The behavior of gamers is the issue here. EA is just operating as the business it is.

Take BioWare off your day one list and splurge your money on a developer with some ethics instead.

Unfortunately, I have android phone. And I'm not buying iPhone just for ME3.

My EMS(Around 3200) is maxed out and I have over 5000 war assets. Do I still have to play multiplier in order to get the "good" ending?


Your war assets help build your EMS. EMS of 3200 is not enough. You'd need 4000 and with the 50% war readiness multiplier you'd have 8000 total military strength.


What the hell am I supossed to do?  I've scanned every planet and I'm quests shy of finishing all side quests. I really have no choise but to start doing multiplayer? 


If you want the best ending, you have to do multiplayer or the Mass Effect: Infiltrator game.

Did not played ME3 Co-Op( and still won't until I complete my LP), no From Ashes DLC and yet I could have got the best ending( didn't went for it since it's BS).

yes, some gamers, though not many, seem able to do this. what were your choices in ME and ME2? I'm not doubting you, just curious. did you kill wrex on virmire? did you save the rachni queen? sacrifice the council? save maelon's data? any romances? if so, with whom.

I can see the complaints that it would take a NG+ or DLC to get full war assets without Multiplayer is something valid.

But do you really hate multiplayer so much that this is an issue? It's actually very good.


I don't hate multiplayer. I play Call of Duty, Sw:Tor, Wow(used to), etc..... I feel as if Mass Effect should have stayed a single player game. There are just some games that shouldn't  be touched in that way....


K, I can't support arguments of personal prefrence. Multiplayer dosen't suck, so give it a chance.

On the issue that you should be able to get max readiness on your first try to unlock the 'complete' ending - I agree. Not entirely sure if we're missing assets here or a way to raise our Galactic Readiness in the Single Player (there should be one.) But it's kinda moot anyways as the endings are too poor to justify the effort to achieve them.

Let's solve the bigger problem first.

Please post screens of your war asset screen. Would be nice to see that it's actually possible.

I had 7200 War Assets, which resulted in 3600 EMS. I didn't get the "Deep Breath" either.

Anyone who claims they got this scene with 5 to 7K war assets without MP is FOS.

I'm very annoyed I'm going to have to play MP just to get the scene I want.

Since a twitter post hinted that we should keep our saves, it seems like some of us would want to have a save that featured this ending.

I'm not really sure if that's much of a spoiler, but seriously people - if you are in here complaining about MP leading to certain endings, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what ending we are speaking about in this thread already.

Bioware really dropped the ball here. Fix this in a patch ASAP!

I got tired of grinding to get a high EMS (through scanning each planet), and said to heck with it and activated the final mission. I'm about to finish it.

My EMS is only ~3200. I know that's probably not enough to have the "best" ending, but at this point, I'm ready to get it over with and hope/pray for a patch that'll fix this.

I just want my LI (Ashley) and my bro (Garrus) to live. I don't care what happens to Shep.

Your EMS is only at 3449. While that should give you access to the three most important 'things' during the ending, it still isn't the absolute 'best' one. Again, this unfortunately just proves that reaching the 5000 EMS mark, is totally impossible unless you play MP.

Anyways, thank you very much for taking your time posting screens and all that!

I did give mulitplayer a try in the demo and it's abysmal. I'm not paying for gold. The 2 day trial is of no help when I need it for at least 3 characters and I have 5 total.

The only quest I didn't do in all of Mass Effect is the Wrex Armor because I never recruited Wrex which apparently leads to MORE assets in this game. I put 144 hours into ME 1,66 in ME 2 and currently at 50 in ME 3 with just ONE Sheppard. I shouldn't suddenly have to pay more money and play something I don't want to for this.

It's time for Bioware to start handing over answers or a patch. There's cleary NOT more than enough. Unless they meant that in the literal sense that there's 4001 which is technically more than enough but more than enough implies a significant ammount.

Wait, I though Merge ending is the best one.

Also, is it confirmed somewhere you need 5k for the best ending?
And what happens in it?

The best ending is Destroy+Deep Breath. It's obtained by having 4,000 EMS and “Saving Anderson” or 5,000 otherwise. It's the only ending with anything special tacked on after the credits. UNless you count the Stargazer one with NG+ or import, but that has nothing to do with EMS.

No the destroy/save ending is the best one.
You need 3000 to enable it and 4000 to get the best variation of it.
You can get destroy/don't save with the best variation of that but that needs 5000.

I don't think it was Bioware who had the idea of having "multiplayer" and/or "orgin".  It's all E.A. 

I just tried multiplayer for the first time, it's quite fun. I still believe this game should have been kept single player. Nor do I believe I should be forced to play multiplayer in order to get a "good" ending.

I am having some fun with MP, despite myself, so I will probably try to get 100 % readiness in addition to my war assets, since as a Renegade I've no doubt fracked myself out of some advantages along the way.

The real problem is, what happens when you're playing this game 2 years from now and NO ONE is on the MP servers? That drastically limits the lifespan of the game in a way that is so, so unnecessary.

Just finished a marathon session of MP in order to get 100% readiness and unlock all the combat achievements I can't get with my Sheps. It's okay, but I certainly would not pay for a gold subscription just to play it. Fortunately I was able to get everything done within the two day free trial that comes with the game.

It's quite annoying that Bioware clearly lied about being able to unlock everything in SP. I heard that they are going to be selling War Assets as DLC :-/

Yes, no doubt. Thanks for posting your image and taking the time to talk about it.

I do think that the EMS verses TMS confusion is what's making MANY people think they've unlocked all the endings. It IS confusing.

Even if it was EA it still has ABSOLUTELY ZERO bussiness having ANY effect on single player and said effect is far greater than thought.

If you support Wrex, there's a chance to win Salarians support back later in the game. I did so, it is quite easy. Can PM how if you want to (since this is no spoiler forum). So, you can get both krogans and salarians with Wrex alive without editing.

But asari numbers still bug me, because the number difference is too big. It's like couple of major quests, not one or two lost sidequests. 
 


Sure. I'd appreciate that, but I thought that if he found out.....just tell me in PM!Image IPB

Edit:  
@Elios
Would you mind showing a screenshot of your assets?
