 Yeah I know...don't let the door hit my *ss on the way out--- etc etc... whatever

I just want this company to know why people leave their games.

So many people I play with and that's a lot of good players are simply fed up with the way this game has evolved. Balance changes, buffing enemies to ridiculous proportions while taking AWAY weapon damage in our skill trees, as well as powers, and individual weapon strength. Glitches. And, God help us .....the store. 'The best gear for the best in the Galaxy....' which somehow now translates into.. ammo.

You said a few weeks back you 'listen to the community'.

You replaced the eighty billion useless character training cards with eighty billion ammo cards. Don't remember asking for ammo..weapons  upgrades maybe. So now I get ammo, ammo, ammo, ammo, ammo, AMMO, more fr*kken AMMO and more useless ammo and 'gear'. 43 'strength enhancers....'?

GOLD 'ULTRA-RARE' AMMO...!!  after busting my chops for 25 or 30 minutes playing gold and platinum.  
 In the past 3 days I've bought  25 or 30 PSP's, and a pile of Spectre packs with ONE stinkin' weapon upgrade- and I still cannot get a *&^!  harrier. Hundreds of packs, maybe close to a thousand the past 3 months, and still no harrier.
I've been playing up to 8, maybe 10 hours a day some days, mainly platinum, and all the store coughs up is the same ammo I just used the past 25 minutes playing. Big deal. 

And the game: the balance changes are enough to make you choke -- its supposed to be a GAME, its supposed to ENTERTAIN, not aggravate and leave a customer feeling sick and tired of the product. You've made the game unfair, unbalanced for 4 average people ( not to mention those of us who USED to love bronzing alone...or playing 2 person silvers) to attempt to control UNLESS you are farming....and you wonder WHY people farm??? 

This was possibly my favorite MP ever when it was released, but starting with the Inf and Geth nerfs, 'balancing' has simply changed the game in a negative direction .

The swarming phantoms on round 10  that simply refuse to die after 5 Acolyte hits, 4 homing grenades and a hail of gunfire from 4 people ----  they NEEDED that stupid bubble???? 

All the ridiculous turrets placed every where you turn. and they regen their shields?

The sprinting hunters who for some unknown reason, leave you 'stun-locked' when they just get near you so you can't shoot, pop a power or run away. Husks too..damn those obnoxious things to game hell please.

I hate the fact that when I'm down I get up and my GUN IS miraculously EMPTY, I have to try and reload it, the screen is almost black, And, there is a phantom, hunter or marauder standing right on top of me, so no matter what I have ZERO chance to survive...and I'm pointing the opposite direction I'm trying to run in. 

The way swarming Cerberus prances sideways at light speed so fast that you can't even shoot them is just plain absurd, not to mention the grenades they lob in your lap from hundreds of feet away, at utterly IMPOSSIBLE angles, just when you get into cover to replenish shields. Cannibals unfortunately echo this unrealistic behaviour.

I love how they don't miss a bullet when you are running full out , bouncing in or out of biotic invisibility, through walls, from the other side of the map. And the cloak??? what's the point of it if every enemy save the lowest troopers can SEE you even while its engaged??  And if you chose damage, you get a whole 5.2 seconds, about enough time to walk 15 feet. Great cloak.

Rocket troopers spamming rockets that go through walls and containers;  Centaurians that appear out of thin air; The Banshee 'vacuum cleaner' grab from 10 meters, 30 meter flames from pyro's, The Geth 'Side-step' of claymore and Geth shotties that equal about 5 meters, Cobra missles that go through targets and now cause such little damage,.....and the GLITCHES.

Ahhh, the sheer pile of bugs, glitches and server mishaps that make enemies invincible and invisible, leave no ammo or grenades for ANYONE in the middle of a platinum;  the loss of connection on round 10, seconds after completing a ridiculously hard objective so you get ZERO credits AND lose the gear....Escorts that get caught after completion so the game locks up and again, NO CREDITS;  The BLACK SCREEN which has not been fixed since the game was released....Vanguard Glitches, players warping to other parts or through the map, guns that won't reload,  large area you cannot shoot through where a turret was spammed by Primes minutes before, players that cannot get cover or get killed IN FULL COVER, shields and health that drop to ZERO in a split second with nothing even close to you, guns that fire all the time, all the annoying  sound glitches (Reave, flamer, etc), LAG, etc....etc...etc...too many to remember.

These are ALL things players talk about nearly every game. Randoms, friends, people I've player hours or minutes with. Not about " what a blast this is..." or how much the newly 'nerfed' weapon ROCKS!...or , "what a great time we are all having!", like we used to.

You have a large community of disgruntled, disappointed players I play with every day, who are tired of the way the game has been managed. There has been many hours of enjoyment especially building characters in new ways ...unfortunately, its been outweighed by the downside of the game.

As a person who's been gaming for years, I want this company to know why so few players are left  that the latest challenge is a dismal character promotion equaling 50,000 from the whole community. That shows how the ranks have dwindled.

Cannot wait for Borderlands II...I was hoping to last these three weeks enjoying Mass Effect but its just gotten too difficult to enjoy, the crap store s*cks and Bioware/EA just DOESN'T care enough to fix the problems.

Appreciate the DLC, loved the game for months. I  don't speak for all by a longshot-- but I do speak for a lot who I play with every single day..I only hope it does SOME small bit of good.
thanks...

At the risk of playing devil's advocate... The man's right. Not a single issue he's mentioned has not been brought up by this community dozens if not hundreds of times - the bugs, the balance problems, the balance changes centered on reducing farming rather than improving the gameplay experience, etc. I can only hope that wherever the OP goes, he finds what he is looking for, and I wish him luck in his wanderings.

Didn't really need to read much past this.  Your opening has enough flaws in it, the rest of your logic can't be great.

1. Many, the vast majority really, of balance changes are actually buffs to the player.
2. Only the Geth got significant buffs.  Reapers are unchanged, and Cerb changes and not particularly impactful.
3. What power have been nerfed? 
   a)Tactical Cloak, the power that previously gave the largest additive bonus in the game, still gives the largest bonus in the game
   Hunter Mode, gives up to 5 of the nicest bonuses in the game at a cost of 375 shields.  Still does that.
   c) Spammable farming powers, powers abused in a couple of farming maps.  They had the final CD reduced by less than 1 second.  Oh the horrors and the humanities! 
4. Only a tiny, tiny number of weapons have been nerfed.  Only 2 have been greatly nerfed (Falcon and Krysae).  Falcon is still super useful in the right hands.  The Pirahna is still one of, if not the, highest DPS gun in the game.  It didn't get nerfed.

You have chosen to inflate the negatives of this game, and ignore the positives.  If that has ruined your experience, then you have ruined your experience.  If farming using the same builds and powers over and over burned you out, then you have ruined your experience.  If you were only able to play higher difficulties with one class and weapon, then you ruined your experience.  BW is not responsible for your behavior or action.

You'd probably still quit even if none of those issues existed just because there's only one gametype.

If you sit down at your friends house, and play a couple matches, and then go buy the game based on your experience playing it, you get home, and you play and play and play some more, til you know it and are actually good at it. THEN the company who makes the game changes it permanently, giving you no choice in the matter, ultimately changing the way you feel about the the game. This is the case with MASS EFFECT 3. There should be a label on the game when you buy it stating that "THE GAME YOUR BUYING NOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE SAME GAME AFTER WE KEEP TWEEKING IT SO PLEASE BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK"

Your last claim is actually covered in the EULA.

To OP, enjoy all the games your system affords. When the time comes and you wish to return, I'll be there to welcome you back.....and thump your skull.

OP has the right to say what they please and bashing him/her for it shows that you don't have the MATURE ability to just say nothing if you don't have something nice to say. This place is filled with tools like that.

You just wrote a negative and insulting post about people saying negative and insulting things in response to a negative and incoherent topic post. I didn't think you could square irony that way.

You can call it whatever you want...


But the OP is 100% right and you all know it. There is nothing that he's mentioned that is false and has not irritated the hell out of most players before. This is exactly why I no longer play.

Great post.

I've been playing this game since before it came out, circa the demo. When the full version came out, we all cowboyed up, and we had a blast. And whilst there's a lot of people who will claim otherwise, I'm sorry - no. The game is, most assuredly, harder than it was when we first arrived. Me soloing silver was once a routine event - it's now all but unheard of, and I've seen dozens of PuG silver games end in failure. The usual reasons? Synckills, connectivity drops, and grenade spam - the former of which has gotten worse due to changes in the synckilling enemies' algorithms (intended to give players less chance to be rescued by allies and is an acknowledged bug). The connectivity has never been addressed in a meaningful way, and less said about enemy psychic homing grenades that can be thrown from across the map the better.

The TL;DR is that the following changed for Cerberus/Reapers:
* Cerberus enemies are 10-25% more durable. This is pretty basic, and probably the smallest and least-annoying change. In and of itself, it's harmless.
* Synckills happen a lot more often (A CONFIRMED BUG) - Whilst many have said you can't be synckilled without being melee attacked, I've Kroguarded enough to know how true that is (I.E. 0%), and if I had a dollar for every time I've been synckilled out of a charge, I'd have a full manifest. Everyone knows the Synckills are bugged out the ass, and no amount of "lrn2plyfgt" is going to make it any less true.
* Stomping happens a LOT more often, especially on Silver and up. This was done specifically to increase the lethality of all difficulties, and has basically made it so that even Bronze sees routine uses of Medi-Gel. A far cry from when the KRO TEAM used to religiously go through Bronze and Silver during level-up runs and rarely, if ever, have to use a Happy Pill.
* Phantom Bubble Shield and Banshee Invulnerability are much more likely to be activated than it was at launch (confirmed with help from a tech-savvy friend). If you haven't seen the increase in their doing this, you obviously and haven't paid attention to the massive spike in their using that ability circa the Resurgence DLC. My analytical friend has informed me that their chances of using the invulnerability shielding (for Phantoms) became virtually guaranteed post-DLC, as well as ways to bypass how it works (Protip: If you can get a targetting box on a phantom, don't bother firing off an ability, she will block it unless it has a long travel time (Submission Net for example) or is hitscan (Overload, et al) almost every time on gold and up; if you want to hit a Phantom, blind-fire an ability in her direction, and she will not put up her bubble shield. The ability is literally designed to work on the player's action by reading their controls.)

Now, all of these were done atop existing problems. Between players not getting classes they want (CeilingKid has wanted a Geth Engineer SINCE RESURGENCE WAS EVEN MENTIONED, and has been wholly unable to get one because the drop system seems to think he wants a few billion weapons he will never, ever use), players not getting weapons they've wanted since release (see OP), and players being stuck with crap weapons and equipment (See: RoadGGG before he got his Striker), this has translated to a metagame where things are unequivocally harder for the playerbase, even with actual "nerfings" only causing minimal casualties (Krysae, mostly) along the way.

Now, all of this factors into the Geth equation. Everyone played Geth because there WAS no buggy synckill nonsense, no psychic grenades, and the Geth were almost refreshingly straightforward. Now they're the absolute most game-breaking fashion, buggy as all hell, and dozens of times more lethal than the others by simple virtue of them being loaded to the kills with bugs that result in them firing when sent flying, knocked down, or even during death animations.

When the entire game has been made expotentially harder vis-a-vis this process, it's no wonder why people like the OP are getting frustrated. I love ME3's multiplayer, and I've had tons of fun playing it, but my associates are worn out and dejected by the sheer volume of problems this game has. CeilingKid doesn't want to play because he's resigned himself to never getting his Geth Engineer. RoadGGG doesn't want to play until they fix the game's mountain of bugs and AI problems. What this generally leaves me with are randoms, Pothis, and OneTrueShot, who is an awesome player and kind of scares me a little. The sad part? They wouldn't have gotten disaffected and left were it not for how frustrating the game's become.

When in Rome... No point in being civil here when most don't bother to even try. So I bash the way most others bash rather than sit and watch people get whipped by mob like masses. I will say and do as I please. My worst is still far kinder and more mature than most of what I see here.

Or, if you choose to respond, you could do so with well thought out, meaninful posts that contribute to the discussion, even if they are critical of another person's opinion.  No one forces you to engage with the less savory posters around here.  As I just said above, people are responsible for their own actions.  I personally think that the OP, and people like him, are mostly responsible for their own disgust with MP due to how they played it.  And people like you are partially responsible for the tone in threads like this by choosing to respond the way you did.

You have 90 level 4 consiumables total. Your not that bad off. I ahve more then 90 Cryo rounds 4 alone. I have 407 total level 4 consumables which is 203.5 PSPs worth or 20.15 million credits worth of BS.

While all you listed may be frustrating, all of it is tolerable for me.

What isn't tolerable is this community's desire to play nothing but farming maps and the easiest character classes on higher difficulties. There's just no fun in spending forty minutes simply trying to find a capable match on some other map from which you won't get kicked because you don't want to use an N7 character.

The times I actually have fun in this game are, sadly, few and far between. And it boils down to matchmaking before anything else. People need to start playing the damn game instead of farming.

Whats also isnt tolerable is spending 30-40 minutes of your life just to get a troll face card when you actually want upgrades for that ultra rare weapon that is just gathering dust.

[hawgwild5757]

I'm still enjoying the game despite the glitches and server problems. Still playing on silver with the occasional bronze to warm up/level up because it's more fun, or maybe I just suck too much for gold.

However it would be nice to get a patch and I'd be ecstatic if I could at least buy the consumables I want, if not the guns and gear.

OP has the right to say what they please and bashing him/her for it shows that you don't have the MATURE ability to just say nothing if you don't have something nice to say. This place is filled with tools like that. I come here and laugh at every one who behaves like this. Typical hiding behind an ID. Someday you'll forget the difference between the real world and the internet and respond that way and pay for it dearly. I've seen it happen, and I love it when it does.

Learn to be civil and pretend you are an adult. Honestly. This place must be filled with teenagers who have yet to learn a thing about life.

This. Just because you guys like to bash your heads against a wall, doesnt mean everyone else does.

I'm still enjoying the game despite the glitches and server problems. Still playing on silver with the occasional bronze to warm up/level up because it's more fun, or maybe I just suck too much for gold.

However it would be nice to get a patch and I'd be ecstatic if I could at least buy the consumables I want, if not the guns and gear.

Of course the game is enjoyable when you play on the easiest difficulty... Except the part where you get only 15000-30000 credits when playing bronze/silver.

Here's a truth that doesn't resonate with a large part of this so-called "community."

Sadly, there's no point in reasoning with their kind.

Why, there's even quite a few of them who will attempt to mask their arrogance, pretentiousness and general contempt with eloquency and civility.
