Am I the only one whose interest in MP is starting to decay rapidly?

It's all good and fun, but only up to the point when you realize how much you've played, how many gold matches have you finished, how good you are with your class... Only to realize that you're pretty sick repeating all the same tedious, not-fun-anymore crappy gameplay across 6 maps, against, duh, cerb-geth-reap.

And you can't even get a weapon you want, no matter how many credits you have.  Lololo-trololo at this idiotic system. I'm starting to think that it'll actually come to the point where I'll abandon the MP completely, with all the useless shotguns and SMGs maxed, without having not one single N7-rarity weapon of my choice. I have Disciple level VI, Geth Shotgun V, Anti-ThresherMaw shotgun level V, all silver SMGs pretty much VIII-X, hell even Claymore level IV. Widow is still level II, and a Black variant is just a high hope.

I play as a Salarian Infiltrator, and of course I prefer Sniper Rifles. If I had loved shotguns nearly as much as the game thinks I do, I would've played Vanguard or at least a Krogan class. But now, I just don't feel the game to be rewarding anymore. I finish Gold matches, one after one, spend credits and nothing happens. I get some **** I'll never use, so what's the point? Nothing evolves for me, and I'm in no power to change that. The spartanian variety of enemies and maps even makes things worse.

This topic is meant to point the devs towards their main flaws with this mode.

So, Bioware, either you give me a Normandy-styled shop where I can buy a Black Widow for 250k credits, or it's minus me from this EXTREMELY addictive mode. So addictive that I don't know why I even bother, at this point, launching Origin anymore. No more Goliath championships won't save you. Not for long.

May 12 Update
As of now, my interest in ME3 MP is totally gone. I've gotten the Valiant recently and the Black Widow... But even that didn't bring my interest back to life. I'm not sure anything less than new factions or game modes can bring it back now.

And as the days pass by, the numbers will increase. But the "kill X million <enemy type here>" weekend goals will always keep on succeeding... Even when the game will be abandoned completely. Just because it's marketing and nothing more. A way to make people purchase packs for Bioware Points.

I think the longevity will depend on a lot of things:

- how many hours a day you are playing
- how many friends you play with (when I play with other BW peeps I have a freaking blast)
- how fast you have gotten to gold and/or a point where you can beat it reliably
- how much you enjoy trying new kits/weapons/powers etc. I find myself trying a lot of different stuff.

There will be updates to MP - probably sooner than you think. I just can't get detailed about that yet.

I really think they dropped the ball with multiplayer. There should have been actual missions to discover new information and territories as opposed to a survival mode model. Hate the model for ingame purchases as well, though I am sure it was very effective as a cash cow. I'd prefer to just buy the weapon and characters I wanted to use.


I disagree, I think the team did an amazing job given that MP traditionally has not been part of their designs.

Because of my busy schedule I usually only get 1-2 hours a night - that seems to be "just right" for keeping me addicted so far :)
