At least give them a new look, like with the turians. Then im fine with 1 every week.

I fear it's perhaps a little too late to overhaul the character designs, but I'd have liked this, too. A female krogan adept (or at least a Tuchanka-style one with the shoulder stuff going on), a bulky asari, a drell with a recon hood, the geth could've looked like the pyro with the five-light face... but, alas! They've almost doubled the number of available DLC characters, and added new gameplay features, sixteen distinct playstyles, a whole new faction - if they were going to cut any corners, I'm glad it was this one before any of the others. And I think the vorcha looked like it's got different armour. From its silhouette.

I'm fine with one every week either way, though. No idea what the fuss is about, I actually quite like the excitement of finding out which character we'll be able to unlock each tuesday. Sentinel and vanguard are the only classes we didn't get in this pack, but surely it's not going to be another volus so soon?

 Hmm. Slightly disappointing that it will be three months before the final class is released, as all of the new classes look really cool. Still, no point in whining about it. I just hope the Geth Trooper drops next week :D

Could we get the other SP guns sometime soon? Like the Valkyre, or the Adas. I wud have rather had the Valkyre than the Argus but oh well.

If all 7 courses of a meal are ready do you just shove them all in your mouth at once or one at a time?


I dont think I'd want to eat 7 week old food. I mean, maybe if they froze it then heated it up to give it to me, it'd be okay. 

But 7 week old food sounds nasty.


Well its a good thing characters don't rot or go stale then.

It's to keep us playing. It's a fairly shrewd business strategy that preys on our insatiable appetite for DLC.

Also, stop it with the "free" arguments.  BioWare does not love you or the playerbase.  It is all about the money.


It is more like making a good thing last. Also I do care about the playerbase.

It's freaking free content if you play the game and earn credits. If people want to buy the content with microsoft points that is fine but it's not like they are forcing you to pay.

Releasing all the new characters at once would be too much of a good thing. Most people need time to try out the existing characters before moving on to new ones.

I like it, as well as the rotating hazard maps. It will keep MP feeling really fresh for ages.

Like I said, I would be fine with it had someone not goofed and leaked them.


This point invalidates your argument that if Bioware has already created the characters, they should immediately release them. Seriously, we just got (more) free DLC, and you've decided to moan? Too many people on this fanbase are simply greedy. <_<

I'm fine with one a week but two would be better JMO.

The Hell is people's problems? Did everyone suddenly contract the ****ing Arrogant **** (FAD) virus? I'm pretty sure it was originally posted that we'd be getting four characters a week after the initial release, so just one month to get them all. I'd settle for two characters a week, but one? We'll have celebrated Valentine's Day by then, I think...

Giving a little trickle over a long period of time is not good, in my opinion. Like I said, two sounds decent if they absolutely cannot put out four every week. It's still a good number to give ME3 Multiplayer some extra longevity to about New Year's.

no its 1 a week

Makes no sense besides having people log back in every week or whatever the case is just to get a character unlock and play that character only and bragging rights to say hey we have a high number of people playing our multiplayer.

The only problem I have is what is the reason for this if there was a reason stated I would have no problem with it.

so the reason is??

$$, seriously think about it, people work for money, even when you enjoy the work you do, the pure joy of it does not pay for your bills.
By releasing one character a week they ensure that we don't get all the new content in "one go" and therefore we have to either play more or pay for the packs.:wizard:
They have created content that can be free, and by doing it they are basically gambling for the success of it. EA measures success by the $$ a game earns, so if people play a game with the Free to Play approach, they also allow the game to exist, and by doing so, there is a chance that people will pay for packs.
In other words, even if we don't pay for the packs, but keep playing, we benefit the companies behind the game.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the OP. If they unlock them all at once, we will NEVER get the classes we want. 16 new classes, 5 ranks of appearance options in each is 80 cards that keep you from unlocking others. Better to have them and level them up by the time the next wave of new classes is released. As it is, I already got 3 of the 4 new classes. I'm very pleased with their decision.

 Bioware, if these are ready now, don't make us wait that long to get all of them.  Think about it.  Releasing one character a week when they have already been revealed is simply a bad idea.

NO to weekly characters.


You Serious?

I'm in favor of weekly characters. A week is perfectly fine, two weeks would be too long and any sooner probably too short.

And giving you all the content at once wouldn't be as much fun either.

Thinking about it: I hope Bioware adds mini challenges for each character that you have to beat to be able to unlock it, though I don't think it's possible to make the RNG differentiate between each player without the use of DLC.

Most of the units I don't care about, but I do think this is stupid. I figured it would be 4 a weeks for the next 3 weeks, that made sense. I don't want to wait for weeks just to get the turian engineer, which is the only class I really want.

I don't mind at all. After wasting a lot of credits on repeated character cards, which I took a bit too long to notice, I need some time to get more credits. xD

Lord have mercy, people complain about anything. Even a complete FREE overhaul of the game and how it will be divvied up over a several weeks to keep it fresh, and, for their part, keep people coming back periodically.

To be honest they showed the new units in the trailer and they were showing up ingame but as locked until it got fixed, I mean as much as I like the volus I kinda find the Turians a little boring and would have preferred having the opportunity to unlock the other characters, especially the Asari and Geth. At least make it 2 a week from different races.

I mean no offence to Bioware but if you are going to show them all off in one go then make them all available. 

As for keeping it fresh, well the new mechanics like Hazards keep it fresher but you're still running around for 10 rounds shooting baddies and really we've been doing that for months already so yeah that isn't a convincing argument.

Also sure its free but tbh I'd have paid a couple of pounds for it anyway, rather than stringing this stuff out.

I think 12 twelve weeks is a long time. However I think 2 characters a weeks is a liitle better. While I'll agree it keeps us playing longer it also always those to complete to catch up on there unlocks.

i was super excited but now I am a bit depressed.  One a week sucks especially for me as I play a lot, sucks.  I was hoping I would be done and have everything hy the end of the month because once AC3 and halo 4 come out, ME3 will be in the shelf for a long time.  I just hope the characters I want ( geth soldier and turian engineer) are released before then
Also the mouth if sauron is ironically appropriate, but I'm sure u got that before lol.

Seems like a ploy to keep people from banking a bunch of credits and unlocking everything on day one. They will definately get more microtransactions this way, especially if the timetable is kept vague.
