ugh to the combat mastery change. That was the one goal I thought would be fun to reach...minus the grabs.

So... isn't removing the Krysae's zoom (one of it's main features) a pretty big nerf?

Why did you guys choose the KROGAN SHAMAN?! In every poll I've seen about Retaliation charcters, the Shaman had <8% of the votes, over the Drell Assasin and Geth Trooper at >20%....

No, you just can't hold the fire button to zoom in. I imagine you can still zoom in regularly though. But the Krysae will probably need something else than a small damage buff to make it do more than collect dust in the back of our manifests.

Lol at the other sniper changes. Haven't wished for a Black Widow upgrade in ages.

Nice one on the Acolyte, I actually might get to try it on characters that actually need it to deal with shields but would previously get face stomped by waiting for the charge.

Not loving the melee medals change. What's the reasoning behind that one?

I don't think any of the maps require much zoom.

It seems I have finally unlocked Collector Mastery right before the changes. Yay! :D

Now..
- sniper rifles - maybe I will finally start to use them more
- acolyte - very good decision to change shooting mechanics, I just couldn't get used to it
- melee medals - I was thinking about it today while playing my N7 Shadow and this is exactly what I wanted. It wasn't really a challenge to get a gold medal when using melee based character

As I wait for drell infiltrator then it doesn't matter what character was released. I suspect that drell will be one of the last characters and I'm at peace with that.
But the maps... can't wait to play them, though I need to sleep now.

Really good changes! :)

It was beast before.  It just required people to learn how to overcome the charge.  Now everyone will use it.

Thanks to all glitchers for forcing Bioware to do unintended changes on weapons. Thank you very much, I hope a Praetorian eat your head..


The Acolyte's biggest drawback was the charge time leaving you exposed or out of cover. It's better now.

Not really, the zoom went from perfect to ridiculously narrow. The zoom was virtually useless. Especially for a proximity-triggered projectile. They could remove the scope entirely and lose very little.

I didn't think the Krysae's zoom was about being able to see far, as much as it about being able to get the most bang for your buck (shot). Without zoom I can see killing a Guradian from across the map will be a pain.

Slgihtly disappointed at the melee kills thing. But the one I use melee on most is my SentiKrogan so I get to smash more.

One thing about the snipers: why does the Black Widow do less damage than the Widow?

Firebase Ghost is awesome and felt dangerous to run going rambo. I actually died doing an outside objective due to the acid rain.

I am glad they changed Acolyte, it was somewhat difficult to tell the time to fire the thing. May make me use the thing.
Too bad they had to change the Krysae zoom, but I guess it was necessary.
Krogan Shaman is fine, but I was hoping to get new Asari.
No Disciple buff :(

I was so close to getting Cerberus Mastery, literally two more matches and I would have had it. :crying:

Otherwise, good changes this week. Wish there was some method to how they're releasing the new characters though.

...because the BW has 3 shots while the Widow has one?

Korgan Shaman is okay. No charge on Acolyte will be great. Really disappointed though. Just got revived by a teammate and instantly Banshee stabbed.

Very disappointing that the bar got raised on THREE challenges that I have been working on...Combat Mastery, Blood Pack, and Reaper Mastery.

It will take for-freaking-ever to get that many points on husks. I'd need a game mode like that scene on the ME2 Collector Ship to even get close.

And now I have to find somewhere to camp grabs to get Combat Mastery. Awesome. The other three aspects...you know, the ones that are actually useful skills outside of farming...had been coming along just fine.

I have a Combat Mastery concern. I unlocked that gold medal just the other day. Currently, it says that I have 0/12 silver medals counting towards another gold medal, but when I look inside Combat Mastery it shows that I have Melee Damage 1 and Headshots 1 & 2. In other words, the current progress says 0 when it should say 3.

I didn't get much time with the Krysae before it became useless, but whenever I remember using it I think of Firebase Giant. The zoom was helpful shooting from the ramp, to the extraction spawn.

Not REALLY, but I think with the massive boost for the Black Widow, the Valiant deserves a little lovin'.

Wow, I was only 2-3 games away from Geth Mastery. Now, it's gonna take a few more days. There aren't enough Hunters and Rocket Troopers on any difficulty level to get enough points! The enemy mastery takes forever because the mid-tier enemies just don't show up often enough.
