Maybe the they'll announce at PAX "there is a patch for the war assets". Yea I got a total of 7200, is with an EMS of 3600. So is there a list of how is at PAX and will ask questions to Bioware (as a fan I feel like I got shafted by Bioware)?

[Martanek]

I just checked and it's Total Military Strength actually. Looks like I will really be pushed to play multiplayer to boost EMS... Is it any good by the way? Anyhow, tying the sp campaign to mp as a condition for the best ending is not very fair at best. What other surprises should we be aware of next time, dear Bioware?

[Kelwing]

I see, those larger values are credits instead of war strength.

Good luck Warbuckaz getting an answer it drove LK47 off the edge and myself nearly spare too but if it gets an answer let's hope for the best. No word form the PAX panel yet I take it?

Its actually reallly fun. That being said i'm not sure why we would be forced to play MP to increase assets. If I had Xbox Live gold I would be playing it still.  My only guess is if the did do this (and shame on them if they did) that it has something to do with the whole used games debate.

First patch. (Thanks to BrookerT since I got this from his thread)


April 9th – PC
April 10th – Xbox and PS3
Fixed issues when in some cases Shepard’s customized facial features from ME1/ME2 may not be properly imported to ME3
Fixed an issue when quickly and repeatedly selecting to Resume a Save could result in Player Level reset and a potential locking of powers.
Fixed an issue when selecting Multiplayer in the Main Menu while under a poor network connection could result in an unresponsive state.
Fixed a potential crash while accessing an in-game terminal from Eden Prime level.
Fixed an issue when attempting to login while Server is down. It would display a Server Down message and accepting the Server Shutdown message would shut down the game.
Fixed a potential memory crash while loading a Quick Save of a custom FemShep.
Fixed an issue when restarting missions and acquiring an above max amount of weapon mods results in displayed debug text on-screen.
Fixed an issue when an unresponsive game state could occur during transition after the Conduit level.
Fixed an issue when DLC game saves can be accessed from an account without DLC if another account on the same computer has access to the related DLC. (PC Only)
Fixed an issue when saves from different accounts on the same computer may become locked if one account has access to DLC which the other account does not. (PC Only)
Fixed an issue when potentially the game could enter unresponsive state when transitioning from the Holding Docks area to the Normandy Docks area of the Citadel. (PS3 Only)


Nothing about War Assets. So no fix for a while or if ever.

I actually quite enjoy Multiplayer, but it's simply wrong how it ties into the SP experience.
I was lucky to have played MP before I beat the game, but that was only because I tried it in the demo and was pleasantly surprised. I originally planned to not touch it until AFTER my first completionist playthrough, BASED ON WHAT WE WERE TOLD.

Ending issues aside, even the 'best' endings, there is a clear disconnect here.
What they are telling us isn't true in our experience and research.

Again, I don't think they would lie on purpose. (let's not bring up those pre-release interviews, ugh)

So something must be really wrong here.



BTW, great find on those War Assets giving credits and not actually War Assets toward EMS!

Well, no one bothered to ask them the question about EMS issues regarding SP only playthroughs at the PAX panel.

Apparently all the questions were pre-selected and pre-screened anyway.

Still.... all it would have taken was one brave person to stand up and have their voice heard.
So very sad.

[Krogangreetings]

this is so annoying, when the dlc comes I don't know if I'll bother if I can't get the EMS

[Tietj]

I'm guessing when the dlc comes out more people will see this as a problem.

Exactly... and hopefully before, as people get ready for it.


Also, something else I just considered.... what happens when the MP servers are eventually shut down?
If you want to re-play the game... or are really late to the party and play it for the first time.... now the 'best' endings are completely locked for you.  No way to get them.

[Krogangreetings]

Just got told on the official twitter that it's possible:

"We've been told by fans who play SP only that they achieved that score! did you do all the planet scanning and side mission?"

I pointed them to the forums no response so far

 Nice! Good one man!

Unfortunately I don't have a twitter account or ever plan to have one... or else I'd add my voice as well!

[Krogangreetings]

they replied straight away but haven't followed up on my reply yet, can't imagine how many messages they must get (mostly about endings I would guess)

I linked them here are also asked if we could get a run down on how to do it if  possible

Sometimes, I wish I used twitter too. Do you know if anyone has asked whether there are 8000 to 10000 war assets available in me3. And can they be got without replaying all 3 me games in a specific way?

Holy Crap!!! good point..i guess your in screwedville

So Thomas Abram has replied to me... on his own time and during the holiday weekend.

I found it to be a pretty positive response, all things considered.
I have asked him if I can re-post his reply here in full, but I won't do that until I have his permission.

Short Version: He's personally looking into it in his own time over the next couple weeks.
If he finds something, then he will post in one of our threads about it.

Also something noteworthy... he seemed to indicate that a certain special TIM related dialogue choice (we all know what this is) actually ADDS 1000 EMS to your final total.
This means that he was counting it on top of his normal war assets when he said 5000 EMS.

So 4000 EMS PLUS suceeding at that particular plot point is the magic threshold to beat.


I just want to personally thank Thomas Abram for responding, especially on his own time and on the holiday weekend. After the lack of communication it is a breath of fresh air and does make me feel a little more hopeful.


I'll post his exact reply if and when I get his permission. I'll also post my response.

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND FOLKS!!

@Ravennus.

You are an evil man (in a good way)!

Thanks for the update. Fingers and toes crossed. I'm hoping that it was just some cross wires down the line and when someone looked at it - they'd go whoops and the appropriate fix winged it's way over the Internet.

An extra 1000 (or 500) would take me over the limit. But is this a reward for the renegade action with TIM or earlier. Aaah. Very intriguing.

I look forward to seeing the reply. This is a positive development. Hopefully this will be all sorted very soon.

Glad to help! 

Sorry for the tease... just a thing with me about PMs.  I don't see why he would mind everyone else seeing his response, as personally I thought it was a good one that also didn't take any sides.... but I'll respect his decision if he doesn't want me to.

The meat is... he replied, it was pretty good, and he's a hell of a guy for doing it all on his time off (during holidays no less!)

Respect +1 for Thomas Abram regarding this.


If what he's saying about that final 1000 EMS is what I think it is, then we aren't missing the HUGE amount of war assets we thought.  Perhaps in the range of 500 - 1000, as you mentioned (though that would still makes things pretty tight).
Still..... much better than the 2000-3000 I originally thought.
Essentially the 5000 EMS before the final TIM scene would be impossible no matter what.  You need to have 4000 EMS before then, and succeed at that particular exchange (no spoilers).

However, I did ask for some clarification in my response, so we'll see if maybe I'm way off base, lol

[freler31]

Even if it's true it still wouldn't count because the EMS rating used for the final calculation is locked as soon as the Cerberus Base mission is started.

Using Gibbed I have seen war assets with strength values of 10000 and even 20000. I have no idea what they may be in game though. I never see anything with these kind of number when in the war room.

Asset # 53 = 10000 strength
Asset # 10 = 15000 strength
Asset # 34 = 20000 strength

There are alot more too. The smaller stuff is easy to figure out when playing around with Gibbed as to what it actually is. The real big ones leave me wondering.

Kelwing

any assets with numbers like that ^^^^ arent war assets, those are objects that are part of the fetch quests (rings of selune, obelisk of kazra, etc) dunno why they have high initial strengths......

also, some of the assets have 0 initial strenght, but if u look at them a bit carefully, they modify existing assets with negative or positive values

[Tietj]

For what it's worth, I made a group about this, so we can discuss it without getting buried in the forums (and to stop the "I got sixteen trillion EMS you must be a bad player" responses).
