 I know it's a bit... Advanced, let's say.

But there's just soooooo much information in this thread, that I really think it deserves its place in a sticky FAQ, even if maybe under a "warning, do not open if your hearth is weak" sign.


Other very useful threads, which I will link here and let you decide if they're worth of putting in the FAQ or not:

google docs with infos

fixing connection issues

a bit old, but full of infos

Also, pretty much all the threads by Cyonan.

Should I save up for the most expensive packs?

No. Silver weapon mods are much more important than a second Asari Valkyrie.

A: To report a missle glitcher, or other suspected cheaters, please read the Cheating Compendium & News

 What is the "Shield Gate"?
Can you explain how mods that ignore a certain % of an armored target's defenses work?
*Do they stack?
**What happens if I cumulated more than a 100% armor defense ignored from multiple mods? 
If I use Incinerate while cloaked and have the duration option, is my Incinerate going to benefit from the cloak damage bonus until I decloak or does it keep the damage bonus until the power expire?

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

this very much.... See a lot of shredders on GPS in pugs lol.

Also explain that you should never play collectors on PS3 without putting your system at risk.

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

Q: I completed the weekend challenge... why haven't I received my Commendation Pack?

A: Progress tracking and unlocks are only possible if you have data tracking enabled.
To see if you have it set correctly from the Title screen goto Options - Online - Feedback.
Make sure the Feedback setting is set to ON.
If it is set to OFF, no data will be tracked and you will not receive your Commendation Pack.

Q: Why do I keep losing connection during a match?
A: If you have ME3 added to your firewall & made sure the right ports (3659 - 3659) are open for the game in your router then it is a result of EA servers being unstable at times.

Extended A: Game play traffic is between players, with the bulk of traffic between host and off-hosts. Origin and EA servers are used for tracking game related information, including score and current game status, while actual game traffic does not depend on origin or EA. However, since EA manages games, loss of connection to EA means being kicked from a game. In the majority of cases, loss of connection is between a host and an off-host.

Q. What is considered 'farming'?
A. The repetitive use of tactics in both setting up and playing the game to continually achieve success and its reward.

Q. What is considered 'camping'?
A. Exploiting an area of a map to lessen the given difficulty without lessening its reward upon success.

Q. What is considered 'glitching'?
A. Exploiting an aspect of the game, unintended for use by developers, to modify the given difficulty without modifying its given reward upon success. Glitching renders the game unbalanced, typically in the favor of the player performing the glitch. Please note that players intentionally exploiting glitches within the game to offset the balance in their favor are subject to disciplinary action blah blah blah [biower insert motto of justice here].

[Psylis]

which mods don't work with x guns?

[DcIhNaGv3z]

'Press [A] to revive' becomes highlighted (Space, X, etc), seemingly indicating that pressing that button will revive my teammate. How does one avoid the following:
1) Standing there doing nothing but holding A
2) Grabbing cover
3) Dodging away
4) Actually reviving while trying to sprint

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

This should definitely be included to help reduce the amount of "How do you build X kit?" questions :

Thanks for that :happy: I knew there was a good explanation I had read before about it somewhere but couldn't find it, it was exactly what you said pretty much.

a

[Grundle47]

I think we're missing some of the point here. An FAQ should be geared towards newer players still trying to get a feel for the game. They're not going to be wondering about missile glitchers and when the next balance change is. It will be a lot more basic. Here's just a list of questions I can remember having over the course of playing.

- What powers set up tech, biotic, cryo, and fire explosion?

- What powers set off those explosions?

- Exactly what effects do Warp and Phasic ammo have?

- What weapons naturally pierce?

- Are there any Weapon/mod combos that do not work? (Can I put piercing on a beam weapon?)

- What benefit, if any, is there to a higher N7 rating?
Challenge rating?

- If a teammate is being sync-killed, how can I interrupt it?

- Is there any benefit to killing enemies while a mission is active? (infinite respawn?)
During extraction?

- Under what circumstances can enemies see me with Tac Cloak active?

- What does that bubble around the phantom mean?
The Praetorian?
Banshee?

- What power have NO effect on enemies with active shields?
Barriers?
Armor?

- What is "force" and what effect is it having?

- Shield/health % increases; are they all only working on a % of my base? Or do any/all work off of my current shields/health?

- Sometimes when I use an Ops Pack I still go down and it gets used up anyway. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a glitch?

- If I get disconnected in the middle of a match do I keep any credits/XP I've earned thus far in the match? If not, do I lose all consumables I had equipped?

- I named my character, but never see it displayed anywhere in game? Am I missing it?

- Is all the multiplayer DLC really free? Or do I need to buy the single player DLC to access it?

- Do the N7Shadow Sword Mastery melee bonuses apply to Shadow Strike (since she uses her sword), or does it have no effect?

- What weapons are only available through the weekend event packs?

- I see that the weapons have levels, what is the level cap, how do I level them, and what advantage do the higher level weapons give?

- Level 4 equipment; how come I can't get any of that?

- Is there any way to NOT play against a specific enemy faction or on a specific map without choosing your opponent/map outright?

- How many credits do you earn for each mission for the different difficulties?

- Sabotage; what the heck does it actually do?!

- Do the Geth/Asari/Volus/etc. heavy melee's set off any type of explosions (tech, biotic, etc.)

- It seems like XP is pooled at the end of a match. Is there any advantage to scoring the kill on an enemy? Or does it simply go into a collective pool anyway. Who gets the points when an enemy is killed?

- Headshots on cerberus troopers and marauders are obvious, but can I "headshot" brutes? Atlases? Ravagers? etc.

[parabolicity]

What is N7
How do I get banners
How can I reset my points
What packs should I buy

Maybe a brief class overview. Obviously you can play however you want, but 2 heavy weapons on an AA would probably work better on a solder, etc.
