My current EMS is 8666 and 100% readiness. I hope I have enough. LOL

So can someone explain to me how the SP EMS was fixed? It doesn't bother me as I've promoted 18 characters and have 100% readiness, but I'm curious.

All we've heard is 4000 is no longer the minimum. Likely have to wait for release to get the new number.

So is it finally possible to achieve 4000 EMS at 50% Readiness rating in singleplayer-only (no MP, no iOS)?


I accomplished that without playing Multiplayer many-a-times. But I never got the "secret ending" until I got 5000 EMS.

No, you didn't. But as we do for everyone that claims that, we ask for a screenshot of 8000 TMS(4000 EMS)  open to the alliance tab to verify no n7 promotions.

as close to an admittance as we're ever going to get that they flat out lied all the way

happy that it's getting "fixed" but the whole attitude they are talking has certainly coloured my views on any future games they put out.

I'm still not entirely sure how they're going to "fix" this. Is it, like, we will finally be able to have 100% Galactic Readiness through the single player alone? Because otherwise, I wouldn't call this a fix.

All we know is 4000 is no longer required.

Ah, so they simply reduced the amount so it goes with SP? That's good then.

I'm around 3600-3700 EMS at 50% so as long as they did'nt lower it to 3990 or something that's good. Not happy with the company's treatment of the issue at all and it severely damaged my view on them, nearly destroyed it so we'll have to see what the EC does. If the EMS if fixed finally then great, but I'm still worried about the endings. They say they'll "elaborate" and not change so can"elaborating" make them not suck? (I know some like them but I hate. I hate much. So there.) Seems like a pretty deep friggin' hole those colors dug with galactic civilization is pretty well screwed. And may EDI and the geth R.I.P. ...or will they? I don't remember seeing them get fried. :)

The breath better get notice, though. It would be a real douche move to not bother with it or have Shepard die or something after it.

I'm not looking for a Tolkien Appendix that describes everything that happened after the story with everyone (which is nice in a way). But after three epic games, we need closure, not just a conclusion.

People have been asking about the EMS and how it changes in the Extended Cut DLC.

The original experience of the game was meant to reward players who did extra work (multiplayer, importing a save, playing the iOS games, etc) with greater levels of success in the end, which is appropriate to a story about a war that needs every possible advantage in order to win.  But now that we are moving to a post-launch period and have additional content for the endings, we wanted to make it easier for all players to experience even the best-cast endings.  Playing multiplayer is just one component is a sea of variables that can affect your ending.  If you don't play MP, you have to find other ways raise to raise your EMS before attempting to retake Earth, including a comprehensive single player play through.  Likewise if you suffered some blows to your EMS prior to assaulting Earth, MP is a great way to raise your score high enough for the final assault.

Keep in mind that the results of having a very low EMS rating can have distinct effects on the outcome of the game in teh same way having a high EMS can.



:devil:


First, you people tell me that the ending was divorced from the rest of the series by design.

Now you tell me that the EMS was a problem, as well, by design?

This is completely, utterly, inherently, and in totality mindboggling.

Just to let all of you guys know. My friends in the Czech HOLD THE LINE movement told me that EC was announced to come out on the 26 of June. I don't know if they mean June for them or June for us. I just though you guys should know that.

An actual answer on what the new 'magic EMS number' is would be reeeeeally helpful before the EC comes out, y'know? If we have to start at the Cerberus Base to see all of the EC, do I need to be getting my readiness back up above 50%, or not? Simple question.

I have to get my rating down real low for the terrible ending I'm trying to get.
