ie xpected it to be something like the geth consensus. in the geth server you were deleting reaper code from the program, i thought it ould use that sort of logic to delete the reapers code or reprogram them.

Tha'ts basically what I was thinking.  Considering how they always referred to it as a weapon it obviously wasn't going to be the super cannon they thought.  I thought that it would rewrite the Reapers based on the big choices and morality of the player's Shepard.

I was hoping it would be a massive weapon, which could possibly mall-function if you did not have enough (crucible) war assets and potentially decimate the combined fleets.

I was guessing it wouldn't do anything, besides bringing hope to the galaxy in order to unite all advanced civilisations to fight against the reapers.

In the end, I only saw what happened in shepard's head, after that, he woke up (or alteast took a breath) and the credits started.
So I still have no clue if it really had a purpose or did anything besides bringing the galaxy together.

I was expecting something along the lines of the Destroy ending, including destruction of the relays.

[xeNNN]

i guess a galaxy wide shock wave that annihilated the reapers (without using the relays)

i didnt expect it to be like "mmm i dont like those mass relays" *KAPOW!*
Garrus: can it wait abit ? im in the middle of some- ooooo magic space magic in 3 different colours.
Wrex: shepard
Shepard: Wrex
Wrex: shepard?
Shepard: ???!?!?!?!? SPACEMAGIC GO BOOOM!.
HARBINGER: THIS HURTS YOU.

I thought docking to the citadel would allow you to hack their network and disable them, much like severing the Geth from the Reapers. I did not expect Ghost in the Machine.

[jarrettwold]

I expected it to do what it largely did do. Which was fire some kind of beam to disable all the reapers somehow. I didn't think it was going to destroy the relays, although using the relays to transmit the beam made sense.

I didn't like that it destroyed the relays, and I didn't like the ending bit with the star child. However, it's kind of funny when people rant about "space magic." A wave of energy doing things, typically destroying, creating or protecting something is a science fiction mainstay. Watch any Star Trek and that will show up as a plot device. Even fantasy novels use that from time to time.

So that is the part of the rage that I find well, a bit absurd.

Independence Day-style disabling of Reaper shields or scrambling of their coordination.

Enough time for the largest fleet ever assembled armed with Thanix Cannons to do their job.

This

Then fleet damage/loss, crew death would depend on EMS!

I was thinking it would be some Reaper-only EMP or something, like Independence Day where it disables shields.

So, if you come into the final battle with a really low EMS, the Reapers would still win anyways, or something.

Edit: Guess I wasn't the only one lol

I had hoped it would be a device capable of disrupting Reaper communication and for a time render them uncapable of defending themselves or able to do so poorly allowing the build up of military assets to put some work in and rewarding those who gather a sizeable force with better ending(s).

[Borothir]

Honestly, I thought the Crucible would do pretty much what they said it would: destroy the Reapers. I kind of imagined it USING the mass relays in some way, just not blowing the damn things up. I figured the Catalyst was referring to someone who had to go inside of the Crucible in order for it to operate, sacrificing themselves in order for it to power up, and at the end you could choose to walk into it yourself or choose a squadmate to do it. I bit like Dragon Age: Origins, where you could slay the Archdemon, sacrificing yourself, or let Allister or Loghain do it instead. Wishful thinking I suppose.

All those wasted resources, we should of just built a deathstar...

[lnccplbunbun]

I expected it would just be a massive weapon.

I thought it would be cool if it were a reaper trap.

But once they said that the catalyst was the citadel, I had two theories to try and fit that:

1. That the citadel was the core indoctrination transmitter and the crucible would break/disrupt that, unleashing their own forces to remember their origins and turn against them (potentially including other reapers).

2. Since the citadel had been presented in ME1 as a massive relay for bringing the reapers back, that the crucible was:
2a. an escape route. There was no way to stop the reapers, but the assembled fleet could get out to another galaxy
2b. the crucible had been storing every previous final fleet in stasis for the moment that some cycle was able to get far enough to make use of the ultimate mass relay (the citadel) to bring all of those fleets storming back to take their vengeance.

But, that was a mobile platform for destroying planets.  It's easier to truck an asteroid in and sling that at a planet.  

[Lyne Holden]

I was trying to figure out what sort of goofy mini game they were gonna add to the game this time around, so for a second I thought that the fleet assets and crucible were going to be a part of a sort of RTS minigame where you go system to system taking back the galaxy.

No, no. You misunderstand. 

The DeathStar was a mobile platform for destroying planets in style.

Big difference.

I may be a little crazy but I suspected that it was an anti indoctrination device. A way to cut off the reapers from all of their organic forces and make them fight with their "bodies".

Well done, well done.

[DJBare]

Give the answer 42

But seriously, I'm with the other guys, I thought it would shut down reaper defences giving the fleet a chance to destroy them.

Why else would you have to hook it up to reaper tech (the citadel) to make it work? At least that made sense to me.

[LilyasAvalon]

To fire like the giant death star I thought it was.

[sydranark]

Let me tell you what I did NOT expect it to do:

Offer only 3 solutions on how to save the galaxy, all resulting in the explosion of relays.

[Zix13]

Knock out reaper shield tech or some such.

I figured the Citadel was just a giant battery.  I think that's what it was ultimately.  The crucible was the broadcast antenna.
