With the EC just around the corner and Chris Priestly tweeting this (twitter.com/BioEvilChris/status/216248201529933824) I now realise that thanks to multiplayer I (and likely many others) will now be stuck with the best ending, no matter how much we want lesser endings.

It bothered me in the original release that the ending was more determined by a "did you play multiplayer enough" boolean variable then it was about your choices over the franchises.  Having that continue to compound over time would be a real shame - especially since if the EC is any good I might want want to do a real disaster playthrough (something I did with ME2 and discarded after being hugely unsatisified with ME3's conclusion) and try to get the worst ending possible.  Which thanks to N7 Special Ops will be impossible.

So, I ask simply:  Can we have a way to delete this war asset, so that our singleplayer experience doesn't conclude by checking how much we played multiplayer since the game's release?

Sorry don't think you can but if you only do the main missions and no side mission I am pretty sure you can get less than 3000ems

[dreamgazer]

That's actually a really interesting question.

Kinda forces you to not experience the darker outcomes of the story, doesn't it?

[D24O]

At least you have them, mine never showed up in my war assets.

[shodiswe]

Hummm yeah.. I havn't thought about that one...

I usualy got the problem with the N7 ops bonus dropping during missions... this makes the scene with wrex fighting a reaper destroyer change depending on my EMS... If the EMS is low the Destroyer will almost immediately fire at wrex, if the forces are there I goet a prolonged fight with soemtihng looking like the normandy getting closer... The N7 ops war assets tend to drop for no reason mod mission, or after a mission... Only way t oget it back is save and go to the main menue then reload the game from the save.. and suddenly they are magicaly back... space magic...

[shodiswe]

Maybe you can run the game without goign online, that way they might not show sicne ypu're not gettign updated... though that will fail ot authorize from Ashes which wotn allow you to load a game that has that DLC installed..

[masswor5]

Can't you just disconnect from the internet and they won't show up anymore? My n7 war assets seem to dissappear and reappear whenever they please though, I think there's a pretty good chance I can get the bad endings anyway.

[Darksaberexile]

This is the reason I didn't promote my characters much.

[Kub666]

What a clusterfu<k this whole system ended up being... ME3 would be so much better if MP was just released separately.

[Erixxxx]

Can't the savegame editor take care of your military strength?

But yeah, there should be an option in the game to dismiss the promoted troops.

I am well aware you can't do it.  I am asking to be given the option to either delete them or allocate them to a single save or whatever.  At 75 TMS per promotion, if you took part in any of the "promote a bunch of dudes" challenges, or just promoted because you mistakenly thought it might unlock something, you can end up with well over a thousand TMS from N7 without much effort.

The level of intrusion on my single player experience makes me wish I had never bothered playing MP at all, and that's not a good thing (because, ignoring the stupid unlock system, it's actually quite fun).  The fact that Bioware are reducing the requirements for the best end is great - because most people want the best ending.  Heck, I want the best ending most of the time.  Those last 4 words are key though - "most of the time".

I had a great save from ME2 that I never bothered importing into ME3 that was basically going to be my 3 game long attempt to doom the galaxy.  Thanks to multiplayer I will automatically dramatically succeed, always.  That's a terrible shame (and prolongs the problem most people had with the original ending - that their choices over the series didn't have any real consequences).

I've also never had any problems with them showing up as a war asset instantly upon loading a saved game.  I play chiefly on XBox, if that matters.

[TheSletchman]

Additionally, and sorry for the double post, 75 TMS is far too high. Each one of those guys is worth as much as an entire fleet may be worth, which is a little crazy. I wouldn't care if they were like 10TMS, because the problem would self correct to a large degree.

Wouldn't disconnecting the xbox eliminate the assets? Thought having those relied on server connection.

It's my understanding that you can't load DLC without connecting to the server (from what I've read here - my Xbox is always online when it's powered up).  Which means you can not have the EC without connecting to the server, which unfortunately foils that plan.

It would also remove Javik, which is less of a loss.

As long as you've been online with the content at least once, you can play it as much as you want offline afterwards. So you can install the DLC, boot up your game, load your savegame, save again, quit, and then disconnect.

You can play the DLC offline on PC as well, I tested it last night.

[dekkerd]

Huh,have seen posts claiming otherwise. If it works it works though.

OP, just yank the cable and find out. Gr will stay elevated, but I don't do MP, so can't tell you about n7.

Yeah, I've seen others having problems with it too. But I've tried it a few times, just after launch, and recently after the EC date was announced. I've never had a problem with it.

[torabashiri]

On XBox, I noticed that all of my N7 Op war assets were disappearing when I took a break on SP. I found that I had to hit the war map button and they would all come back. I guess you could play offline and not have the extra assets appear to get a lower ending.

To be able to play "offline" after you have already authorized DLC on the PC, it is not simply enough to go in Offline mode for Origin.  Essentially it has to believe you have no network connection, so you need to disable your network adapter.

I do not know if this will get rid of your N7 Spec Ops team though.

[AleNes]

Is there any solution or workaround for this by now?

With ME3 Gibbed I think you can set your War Assets number to basically anything you want.

My N7 Spec Ops team is worth something like 7025pts or some absurd number ever since I got the N7 Mastery challenge for MP.

this is exactly what I did.  Whats interesting for me, is that as long as I don't check war assests they don't register in my game. 

[Yate]

They should put the EMS back to what it was pre-EC.

I wanna have to work hard to save Shepard.
