Volus in MP = Support classes
Volus in in Lore = Support

It fits, omg!

http://masseffect.wi.../Volus#Military

The volus are not physically cut out for combat, be it a full-scale war or even a bar room scuffle. As such, they are highly dependent on the turians for defense, although the volus themselves do provide some auxiliary troops to the Hierarchy. The volus will support the turians in any war they might pursue, and the turians will do the same for the volus.

Yeah, they come up with crap like "MP is a simulator".

Councilor, all of that sounds "terrible"  and "useless." I demand you vote to ban the volus from the battlefield! /sarcasm

Hang on a second, people are autokicking volus?! Hahahahahahah oh wow.

If I saw a Volus join my game then I'd let them play. Because why?

Volus Vanguard. That's why.

[Lucifuture]

As soon as I get to playing with them I will let you know my infallible judgement. Also could it be people are kicking because Volus are weak and nobody knows how to play with them yet?

Also where are some Volus Gold solos? 1st Plat Volus Solo gets a sincere d*ckfelt apology from me.

"It doesn't fit the lore" is in incredibly stupid argument.

I admit, if the Volus started gunslinging in a connonical part of the story, I'd be miffed, as, as people said, it simpl doesn't fit the Mass Effect lore that's been established.

But what people need to understand here is that this is multi-player. A mode that has absolutely no affect on the Mass Effect lore whatsoever. It's only there for us to have fun with, simple as that. If the devs wanna break canon by adding a fun little addition to a part of the series that, in the long run, is completely insignificant to the lore overall, then by all mean, add flying krogan babies with bullets shooting out of their butts. Doesn't affect the story in an way so what do I care?

TL;DR version: Don't take Multiplayer seriously in terms of lore. It simply doesn't matter.

[NuclearTech76]

We'll see. I haven't got a chance to play them yet so I can't judge BUT I can't take much on this forum seriously. The piranha had threads about it sucking at first, as did the reegar, the QME, the Vorcha. Lesson is everything sucks until people learn how to use it effectively.

:happy:

But yeah, it's pretty damn selfish to deny a player the ability to utilise part of the DLC, which they may have even used real money to unlock. And for what reasons? It doesn't fit into the lore? In the lore, one of the roles of the Volus in wartime, as many have said already is to serve as auxilliary support troops, which is exactly how they generally seem to perform in gameplay. And the other reason? What you don't like that specific race? Well, the only thing I have to say to that is my palm to my face.

Volus are fine. People who whine about them need a reality check.

Or learn that there are other ways to fight an obstacle than just bringing a lot of firepower.

Just look at Borderlands 2.

Each character has three different skill tress, complementing different playstyles.

Some of them can tank, others can provide fire support or sniping and some can focus entirely on healing and buffing.

Not to mention that character progression in that game feels so much more rewarding than in ME3.

Ummm where exactly did I say that?

And for the record, yes MP isnt bound by all the same lore issues that SP is, but to fundimentally change a species from established history to being combat viable (which the Volus clearly were not) is over the line.

Oh and about the Banshee thing, it is due to continuity issues only (in my eyes). If it didnt happen then imagine the outcry on the forums and elsewhere on the net.

It REALLY isn't. But I've made my point, do what you will with it.

It's threads like these that make me glad I only play in private games with my friends anyways.

How in the WORLD did any debate about the Volus turn into racist comments?

Where are the mods?

[Azrael 007]

My point is that a human, in Mass Effect, couldn't survive having his or her chest and abdomen ripped open. Why is that acceptable to you but the Volus not exploding for the sake of mp mechanics isn't? I honestly want to know. Not trying to pick a fight

But it actually is an issue with them. They purposefully reduced war down to a few petty squabbles that fizzle out in an extremely short time on their world and it has been that way for centuries. The most they maintain is a bombing fleet of frigates.

The so called "auxilary troops" people profess about are not front line troops or spec ops troops. Odds are those auxilaries are quartermasters, supply officers and the like as they are more suited physically and mentally to those tasks rather than combat assaults and hot drops.

I would elaborate more but frankly I am getting tired of repeating myself.

That has nothing to do with lore.  Being revived after dying is a common game mechanic that is totally independent of the story.

[PluralAces]

Dont worry, once someone posts a video soloing Platinum with a volus, then everyone will stop whining about the volus, until then if you are getting kicked just because of that, try starting a private match with at least one friend, that way you cant get booted...

Apparently somebody equated me to being a racist because of personal preference.

The problem is, if you dont want to play with them, that is fine, but thats on you. You should be the one waiting for a game, not the other person.

I don't know if you realize this, but it takes 3 votes to kick someone, not one. It's absolutely absurd to claim that they should all find a new game without the Volus.

Unfourunately, mob mentality makes that not mean much. If one person places a vote kick on someone 99% of the time, the other people pile on without even knowing why. The simple act of placing a single vote virtually garuntees a kick, unless someone actually takes a second to realize, "Wait a minute, that person isn't even doing anything wrong."

Its not my responcibility to moniter any choices made by other players in reguards to kicking. Each player has the capacity to view and decide if they want to kick or not. You can not put the blame on the person who initiated the kick vote as they are expressing their personal opinions.

If the others kicked as well then the matter is settled. Does it make it right 100% of the time, nope. It does however give the opportunity for players to make the choice themselves.

So please dont place the blaim on one person when it is a group thing.

Sorry, I don't blame the person starting it, I just meant to say, that given the way the voting goes down, it also cannot be taken as a sign of support. Seeing as I can place a vote kick on anyone and they will most likely get voted out.
