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

I'm going to second this. There should also be something about online passes.

Bryan, is it possible to link this into the game somehow? I bring this up because it seems very few people visit BSN, and having a FAQ in both the multiplayer menu and the lobby would be unbelievably handy for new and infrequent players. Perhaps a note on what is and isn't bannable, as well?

[Domnuxx]

Operation Resurgence still shows as not being completed, even though it was.
Link.

I did not receive my Commendation Pack.
Link.

I'm getting the "Online Pass" error.
Contact EA Support via Telephone, Origin Chat or Twitter.

You need to put the link you've provided in the OP if possible, BroJo.

As-is, it's actually kind of hard to find. At the very least, I've never seen it posted anywhere official.

Here's a post with lots of help links.

.......

Q: Why should I spec a female quarian infiltrator for melee?
A: Because you need to do 6008 damage with your omniblade.

[Wolfsbladex]

1. Why is multiplayer DLC free?


2. Why do Sentinels have shields instead of barriers?


3. A slight technical question, but why is the very definition of an Engineer classified as a Sentinel? (N7 Paladin)


4. How is damage resistance determined for Humans, Turians, & Krogans?

[stysiaq]

Q: I don't want to waste much consumables, I don't have many of them at the moment. Should I spend them evey time I get killed by enemy?

A: Be smart about it. If your aim is to maximise your credit revenue it's probably unwise to stay dead on wave 5 or 9 or during the objective waves. For more detailed information, read the publication "When to gel and not get too frustrated" (August 2012) [link]

Useless mods in certain weapons, i.e: piercing in projectile weapons

[Grinch57]

OP, BroJo, Mr. Johnson,

A common thread exists, over and over, on which "pack" to get for a specific purpose. Lots of rumor and bad math skills populate most of those threads. How about you creating a qualitative (not quantitative) answer to add to the FAQs?

To wit:

PSP -- true/false it is the best pack for your chances at a UR weapon

AP -- true/false it is the best pack for your chances at a Rare weapon

RP -- true/false it is the best pack for your chances at a Rare character

SP, PSP, AP, RP -- true/false all these packs have a chance at Rare weapons and Rare characters as well as a chance at URs

Reword the statements as desired to make them true.

Lots and lots of conjecture. Not asking for percentages (quantitative), but for overall what's best (qualitative) type of information. This would get rid of a lot of duplicate threads on this topic.

Also, a confirmation that the packs are not bugged, but working as intended. This is not trying to be snarky, just trying to put to rest the ad nauseum conjecture.

I have my own opinions, but they are just that, opinions and worth what most opinions are worth. Your answers would be of real value.

I think a nice addition would be regarding weapons and weapon mods.
Such as the weapons that don't get affected by weighted mods.

And then also some info on weapons that don't benefit from certain mods.
Such as a GPSG with a shredder mod, given it already ignores armor. I don't have an exact list to hand, but when I first began I obviously didn't have a clue about half of this and I'd be that idiot with a GPSG that had a HVB on it or some such.

[DinkumGem]

I believe a "known issues" topic would be so helpful. This is by no means meant as a slight on BioWare, you've really done a great job on multiplayer. This would make everyone know that you are aware of the issue and there is no reason to post the same issue over and over again. If you clearly communicate with the community, most people will understand that all might not be fixable. Deathly silence only feeds the trolls and creates malcontent.

Q. I just finished a match, but as soon as I go to the Store, all the credits I just earned disappeared! How do I get them back?

A. (if on PC) Quit the game and restart Origin. Your credits should be back.

[stysiaq]

Q: I noticed that during matches against Geth faction, I don't have much control over my character. Why is that? Is it a bug?

A: It's a feature. Due to game's design the Geth faction doesn't possess the ability to instantly kill your character. In return, they were granted the ability to slowly drain your soul and sanity by paralysing your character and making you watch how it helplessly dies, just like your belief in Santa Claus several years ago.

We will not be commenting on specifics of packs

A. (if on PC) Quit the game and restart Origin ME3. Your credits and XP should be back.

FTFY.  Not being snarky.  

Exiting the game and restarting will do it, Origin restart is not required.  Similarly, Install Repair not required either.

Also, some say exiting MP (but staying in game) then going back into MP works.  It did not work for me when I tried it on PC, but when I subsequently exited and restarted the game, the credits returned.  It may work to just exit MP and return on Xbox or PS3, I don't know.

Which is all a great reason for the FAQ link, because we all know something, but not everything and what we think we know is often incorrect, including everything I say.

A few good ones that I think would help alot would be:

Missing online pass and the most common solutions and causes
Not connecting to EA servers when website status indicates otherwise
Basis uses of tech/biotic combos
Basic understanding of the consumables
Perhaps a simple breakdown of the VOIP provided
List of the "skills" that allow players to circumvent the mechanics but will not get you banded such as running one delivery and reload canceling
Explain how working together provides more money on the objective waves

[Vlark]

I encountered player who were out of the Map , for expample at Hydra. Is this intended?

A: No. This is an exploit.

[stysiaq]

Q: Which faction is the easiest one? Which one should I play against if I'm a beginner?

A: Currently the easiest faction are the Reapers.

--------------------------------------------

Q: How should I distribute my ability points? Can I get 6 ranks on every power when my character will reach maximum level?

A: The highest possible level is 20. On level 20, your character should have 84 ability points in total, you can distribute these points anyway you like it, however the BSN is a great resource of effective character builds. Mind that on certain characters you will encounter a bug allowing you to maximize every single power. This glitch should not be abused. Abusing the glitch will be punished with banishment from this peaceful society.

Alongside with FAQ a "Reauthorize Online Pass" button under BSN profile would greatly help PC players and would be much appreciated. It would definately stop the endless Online Pass thread spamming and also save time of EA support. Here is a thread about this suggestion:

Sorry, cant highlight or format anything on this stupid tablet!!

Also, something about objectives and something about spawn location controlling.

Yup, that would be great.

[jakenou]

Cool idea. I'll skim though the forum history a bit and try and find some redundancies.

Oh, and...

Q. Which weapons do not benefit from certain mods/ammo types?
A. Projectile weapons, which are; Geth Pulse Shotgun, Graal Spike Thrower, Scorpion, Acolyte, Falcon, Striker and Krysae - do not benefit from armor piercing mods or armor piercing/drill ammo.

Also...

Q. I suspect someone was cheating in a match. What should I do?
A. Refer to this thread for information on how to report a suspected cheater and see the Cheating Compendium.

[Catastrophy]

Not going into depth?
Consider linking Cyonan's info, though.

Where I struggled when I started MP ages ago and what I think might be useful:
-Setting up a game
-Finding a lobby (the orange things are clickable arrows to choose locations, difficulty etc.)
-What are consumables & What do they do
-Rebinding keys
-You will not play with people on different platforms
-Power description errata, differences between SP&MP powers (e.g. time dilation)
-Rough comparison of difficulty levels SP - MP
-The store explained, basic path to unlock stuff, how to stock up on consumables
-Collector forces composition, Collector powers
-Challenge weekends
-Policy on cheating
-N7 HQ for an overview what can be unlocked

Maybe something about progression for newbies, something like start at bronze and work your way up. Also maybe something about SP insanity =/= MP gold or something like that.

for PC players

Q: "Error - An online pass is required to access online features of the game."
A: Contact the EA help center and make sure to state your version of the game.
https://help.ea.com/

After getting the online pass fixed:
Q: "Unable to authorize the listed DLC. Please log in to the Alliance Network with the account used to purchase the DLC. From Ashes."
A: Contact the EA help center again and request the re-authorization of the DLC From Ashes.

(For me: 16 days and counting waiting to get through this, so best bring some patience. At least the online pass error was fixed so far.)

[DragonRacer in Mourning]

Should definitely include something about that 6/6/6/6/6 bug and the work-arounds for getting past that (i.e. choosing a non-bugged character of that same class, then going back to the bugged character; promote; respec card, etc).
