I promoted at first so that I could respec...then I promoted a bunch so that my bf and I could start over at 1.  These days I just use respec cards.

I don't care about my n7 rank

I like the number I'm on

Getting a higher n7 rank is kinda lame and I don't want to be that way

Doesn't the first reason contradict the next two?
I think I'm finished leveling at 300.  All my characters are level 20, but I'm happy just playing my SE, TA and AA.


I guess you're right lol... I do care, I just don't care about increasing it lol, I'll fix

If you seriously haven't had to promote several times to try tweaking a spec, then I don't want you in my Gold matches.

I don't want to promote anymore because I don't want others to have "high expectations" of me. >_< lol

Seriously, some people base skill from your N7 level, whichI personally don't. Anyway, I'm fine with the builds I have, and also have 3 reset powers cards in case I want to mix things up. My N7 level of 240 is decent enough I think for people to "trust" me, even in Gold. ^_^

Hrm I guess I'm a little weird in this regard.. Let me try to explain

Some people love to get high n7 ranks and think that reflects skill, i disagree. Some people even enjoy sitting at a high n7 and thinking everyone below them is worse. I want to avoid this. When it comes to playing with friends I even go so far as to let them finish off targets and get higher scores, often cc'ing or almost killing guys and then walking away.

Like I said guess I'm a little weird. When it comes to fighting games (which I play a lot of) I tend to avoid top tier characters and instead rely on characters I like. This happens in mass effect. I like to play a lot of different chars but when I see everyone use a salarian, I'm turned off by it.

I think I may have issues now that I'm typing this out lol


Well if you disagree with the fact, what makes you think that you having a high N7 will suddenly make you think like the people that think that N7 = skill? It seems like you're avoiding things that the "elitists" do to avoid being like them, but all you have to do is just disagree with how they act and not act like it. I did it for years on WoW while having all the best gear, but not being a complete jerk and thinking I was so much more skilled than everyone else(Mostly because getting gear never took skill and I wasn't more skilled than a lot of players).

Not playing top tier things I can understand if you just like the character/weapon, or are sick of seeing the top tier thing everywhere. I usually just play whatever I enjoy the most with complete disregard for the "best", even though I do figure out what that best is. I've been playing quite a bit of Soldier lately even though the general consensus here is that they're not viable on gold.

I'm only going to promote two classes after this most likely, to reach a nice round number of 600. And then I think I should have enough war assets to get 4000 effective rating with 50% readiness.

You're an idiot.  The syntax "my match," "my gold match," "my last match," etc. is correct.  If you think that "my" always implies possession then you're an idiot.  If I'm going to spend 20-30 minutes of MY (possession implied this time) time doing something, I want to do everything I can to lower the likelihood of sharing my time with some idiot who will simply frustrate me and increase the likelihood of failure.

You sir hate war assets.

I hate cheap war assets - promoting is like cheating in SP.

Speaking of which, they are probably going to be part of Hammer and die - cant have that happen to Bragus Thul, the galaxy needs his 69-yard passes.

Once I finish releveling my Justicar I'll be at N7 540. I suppose I'll promote another two to make it an even 600 at some point, because apparently I have some mild form of OCD.

I don't really care about someone's N7 score as such, though. I mean mine's pretty high but I'm terrible. The best player I ever played with had an N7 score of 19. So yeah. Doesn't mean much.

Meh, I promoted once just to see what would happen, twice early on to respec when I didn't have cards (Or simply misperceived their scarcity - can't remember) and six for the promotion. By the time I get my chars all back up to 20, my N7 will already be pretty high (I'm guessing ~390 - haven't been on in a week).

Regardless, I don't have too much time to play (grad school), so I don't promote. I like to play gold as often as possible, and I'd rather not play through boring bronze matches to get to a decent level.

Hey, if you want the meaningless number to go up and not have to play sub-20 characters, you can always promote the classes you don't play.

The retarded character card spam will level it up again in no time :P

I've only promoted twice for the weekend event. No need
for other promotions, I liked the single player game endings
you get from doing everything you can in SP.

As for respecs... I respec and experiment a ton. Still have
over 20 respec cards from the "good ol days" where there
was no cap on the number you could accumulate.

Hopefully, the respec cards under the current distribution
algorithm are easy to come by, and I won't be forced to
promote whenever my 20+ cards run out.

IT's fun to have a ton of extra war assets, and i actually ENJOY rebuilding the classes, which also saves you from wasting resets which are very rare!

I know I need to respec some characters, but I'm going to try my hardest to keep it at 120 when it gets there. I don't care much for promoting, I play MP for the sake of MP, and likewise with SP. Besides, I don't want to run into the negative points bug.

heh few reasons...war asets can more than enough be obtained through sp.
promoting has no benefits for this reason other than to serve as a grind back to where you were.
Respec cards come often enough that if i should want to do something different i just use them

I don't know about you people, but I find leveling in mp very enjoyable. I like being the underdog in team, especially right after promotion on level1 so I need to try harder to catch up to others. Also this way I'm playing all difficulties during the level up process, feels to me a bit "wasteful" to be playing on lvl20 when you don't get experience (not that it matters in any way).

If you get your war assets up to over 10,000 and you're a tech user you can pick a 4th option ending in single player where Shepherd omni-tools himself an omni-lay-z-boy recliner and watches re-runs of The Sopranos with god-child while they discuss how even the Sopranos ending wasn't as messed up as R/G/B.

Yep.

Indeed.  Tony S. also wished he had more war assets at the end - so keep promoting those MP chars.

I got n7 120 want to keep SP and MP seperated although if I promoted 3.1k ish n7 cos ive played this game so nolife


This and almost soley this. I've been N7 120 since the first week, but I'm not affecting my SP just so I can relevel my MP for no reason other than a rank increase. I even ignored the event for promoting due to not wanting the added war assets.

As I've said before, if Bioware gave you an option to turn off MP war assets/galactic readiness, I'd have no issue promoting...although it still seems pointless without some type of reward for doing so.
