Hey all,

I was thinking that this forum should be due for a nice little FAQ to try and resolve some of the more common things that come up here.

So please post what you think should be covered in an FAQ and what you believe the answer should be.

So for example:
How to get commendation packs from a weekend challenge, when they aren't granted.
When do challenges start
What the different DLCs are and what they add etc.

All in all it is meant to be a more general faq than indepth. Similar to what was made back when retaliation was created for the challenge system and hazard maps.



Unhelpful comments will be removed, so please keep it on topic to try and build this thing up.

"My connection to EA servers won't work. What do I do?!"

[stysiaq]

Okay. I'd start with linking all the Cyonan threads there.

Q: What is Reload Canceling?
A: It is when a player starts a reload and then after hearing the cartridge click uses a power or hits the medi-gel button to end the reload animation.

Q: How much do the expansions cost?

A: All Multiplayer expansions released so far have been available to download at no additional cost.




Q: How many multiplayer DLCs are there? What is included in each? Is this one of those games where I need to download them?

A: Currently, 4 multiplayer expansions have been released. In order, they are Resurgence, Rebellion, Earth, and Retaliation. Each expansion adds a variety of new content;

Resurgence adds 6 new playable characters, including kits for the Batarians and Geth. It also introduces new weapons and maps.

Rebellion introduces 6 kits for the Vorcha, Quarians, and Cerberus Defectors. New maps, weapons, and weapon mods are also introduced, along with the permanent gear to augment your characters with powerful enhancements.

Earth adds 6 elite N7 Human operatives as playable kits, 15+ gear bonuses, 3 new maps, and a new difficulty mode. New weapons like the N7 Typhoon Assault Rifle and Acolyte sidearm also become available through reinforcement packs.

Retaliation re-introduces the fearsome Collectors as an all new enemy faction, and adds a host of new characters, like the Turian Ghost Infiltrator, Geth Trooper Soldier, and Batarian Brawler Vanguard. New Collector weaponry and dangerous hazard variations of the 6 original maps are also included. It also adds the Challenge system.

     While it's not necessary to download these expansion packs, it is highly recommended, both to experience the new content and you will be unable to play with other players that have downloaded them.

Actually, I don't think we should put this kind of thing into the FAQ. These kinds of higher level "clever use of game mechanics" type things should be rewards for actively experimenting/trying to take your gameplay to the next level. While I facetiously QFT'd the recommendation for linking Cyonan's threads*, I think that falls under the same.

* ETA: Or I thought I did. Maybe I'm just going crazy today.

You could talk about as Ginsupup said, reload canceling, the differences between difficulties, weight and how it affects powers, how there is more than one build for a character, the different DLC's and what was added. You could also add a link to the forum post about ban-able offenses and punishments.

On a side note, did we really get that many Christmas noobs to mandate a FAQ at this stage of the MP?

[Teranin]

Not entirely sure how this would work given that it's a fairly complex subject ... but explaining the various combos (or at least a few examples on how to trigger them, what they're good against, etc) might be helpful.

There was a thread a while back that went into a great bit of detail about it...
http://social.biowar...3/index/9629730 I think.

Are we wanting kind of match specific questions? Or just more general stuff?

To answer your side note, it is more to remove redudant threads that continously come up.

[DullahansXMark]

Why does this game not feature any MGS cameos?

Why is DLC free?

My stats just suddenly reset! What do I do?

... that's all I have.

^This. Or at least a blurb detailing how the different defenses work (i.e. Armor DR) and some suggestions for countering them.

[Robbiesan]

Q. How do I set a banner in game and at N7HQ?

[Merkit91]

Agreed. Game mechanics information all linked in one sticky topic would be nice imo.

Also, maybe some list of known and existent game bugs?

[stysiaq]

I think that the basic questions would be related to:

- properly using and understanding the quick match search
- how do the lobby works
- how do the consumables work
- how to *ksssk* Earn your credits! *ksssk*
- when to gel, when to ops pack
- which classes should use lighter guns, which shouldn't care about the cooldowns
- which classes are easier, which are the more difficult

and


Q: "There are so many things to unlock, I want to max my Manifest as fast as I can. Should I start with searching for Platinum matches?"

I see threads about the "online pass" issue pop up a lot (I think mostly a PC problem?).

I do not know the answer, but that would probably be a good FAQ thing to include. Or at least a link to EA tech support.

I like this idea.

[Dunvi]

ANYWAY.

Serious answer:

linking to the N7HQ (a lot of newbies don't even know it exists)
quickmatching explanation (confused me at first, seriously)
something regarding consumable use
that gear bonuses are permanent (don't get consumed)
balance change schedule
explanation of eric Fagnan's rank/evolution convention in the balance changes
weekend challenge schedule - and that the challenge expires if you don't complete it on time
perhaps a short section on forum etiquette - not quote pyramiding to high, for example

the most game mechanichy thing I would consider appropriate for this would basically be "what are projectile weapons" and "which weapon mods don't work on projectile weapons"

I'd add this thing.

http://narida.pytalh...man/AAAAA//////

And this thing.

http://social.biowar.../index/14641831

And Cyonans and peddros threads... and some other threads.
There's so damn many that even a small section with useful information and good to know threads on gameplay etc. Would be extremely good for newbies.

I'd also link this: http://social.biowar.../index/13575450

That's teh cheating compedium that Abram made way back when. Updated of course.

Other than that I dunno what to add to it >.<;

[cory257383]

I think the volus glitch should be added where you can't use your weapons. You use heavy melee to get out of it.

[Dracian]

Q : Squad Elite Challenge didn't reset. Can someone help me ?
A : Squad Elite Challenge is not meant to reset.

Q : The XXXXX Challenge didn't reset. How can I unstuck it ?
A : Please contact Ernest Tse on the BSN.

[Ramsutin]

Nothing from me but peddro's, Cyonan's and tyhmw(?)'s threads should be posted in it. Especially peddro's complete list of stuff.

got one

Q: my creds dissappered after the match? What now?
A: Leave the game instantly without starting a new game or buying from the store. This SHOULD fix it.

That right there would be awesome, as I tend to be weapon mod dumb even after all this time.

There's a really awesome thread floating around here that lists all the biotic and tech explosions primers/detonators. That would be a useful link to maybe include. I'll see if I can go dig that up...

But all that might be getting too specific.

One I see ridiculously often:

"Why does Bioware feel the need to constantly 'balance' the game? It is co-op, nerfs are not required."

[BlackbirdSR-71C]

Q: Matchmaking takes forever!
A: It helps if you start the search, wait for 3-5 seconds, then cancel and start again etc. etc. This way the game attempts to connect to different games and you increase your chances of connecting to a host closer to you as it only takes a few seconds to connect to his game session.

[Chala]

A small list with all abbreviations (Like PUG, TSol, etc.) could be pretty useful.
