That was not a hate reply. I was simply calling you out for implying that everybody who doesn't love everything about the DLC is a crybaby and should stop whining.


Where did I say that everybody should love everything? I clearly dont love everything... You not seen the ammount of comments Ive made on this site about disapointment about no new maps? Im not happy with everything, if I gave that impression then I apologise for that too

Theres things im not happy about with it.
All im saying is although may make u feel better voicing your complaints in reality it wont get you anywhere.
So all im saying is not to stress out about it, you'll just burst a blood vessel or something.

Chill abit :?


Again, you make the mistake that we're all bursting out into rage for no apparent reason. Bioware have said they won't do another MP DLC, this is the last one, but that doesn't mean that it's in vain.

I'm well aware we won't see more Salarians added into ME3 MP, but I'm still here. We're still whining for the same reason that we all stood up and argued over the SP ending when they adamantly said they weren't changing it. It's not about now, it's about tomorrow. Currently, Bioware have had to deal with a PR ****storm around their shoddy work on their part. Next time someone gets up at the development session to suggest something for a new ending (for example ME4), they'll think twice about what the hell they're saying, as they know that we won't like it if they screw us over again.

The same can be applied here. If a lot of people express outrage and disappointment that they imbalanced the racial-class count and left certain races completely for over a year, chances are that they won't do it again without sitting down and REALLY thinking about it. Yes, it doesn't help our situation now, but later it will sure as hell sort a few things out. Picture if we sat down and accepted the endings for what they are, what does that show of us? Other than that we're perfectly fine having rubbish thrown at us and it being called a quality product, instead our actions closed that avenue of practice, making developers think twice before they do something similar.

Because lets be realistic, Bioware, and all game developers at that, wouldn't give a rat's behind about our opinions if we didn't raise our voices about things. Hell, Call of Duty would still have Last Stand and Deathstreaks if people didn't burst a couple of arteries making their point.


Except that Bioware still thinks they made the right decision about the endings so I don't see how that changes anything. I'm sure they really thought about it just as they thought about adding Salarians but they decided against it. There were not really many requests for more Krogan but they did it anyway because it was a good idea. They'll listen to you if you have good ideas or good feedback not because you shout the loudest.

I see your point. yeah we all complained about the SP ending and demanded a alt ending... did we get one??? No we got a more detailed ending. Thats what some wanted and not others.

Im not saying dont express your disapointment or whatever (Im disapointed too) Im just saying there are alot of possitives too (which we also discuss on this site too?) I agree in a sense its constructive feedback and might help with future releases. But the point Im trying to make is dont work yaselves up over it.

For doing that im getting hate replies. Seriously? Cant help that I think even though this DLC has some flaws that I choose to see the good in it. If that offends anyone I apologise. Just trying to get everyone to enjoy themselves abit.

Thats about all. Anyway peace...


I can agree with that. In the end, it doesn't matter what you say, as long as it's criticism. I understand your point of view, I admit, if they made less Batarians, I probably wouldn't make such a fuss, but as I said, it's sad that a big group of fans were forgotten, and we never got our scientist Salarian who hums Gilbert and Sullivan while performing objectives.

Everyone's entitled to a point of view, but personally I feel that Bioware should have addressed the concerns of the community before going out on a limb. I won't lie, I like the Talon, very much so (he's basically Hawkeye with a crossbow and a gas mask), but it would have been nicer to see them add other content that was requested first before adding things like that. A nice suprise every DLC or so isn't bad, but it should never get in the way of the demand of content from the playerbase.

PS: @Kheldorin: You seriously think that Bioware will try and pull something like the ending again? They were literally the laughing stock of the entire gaming industry for that stunt. They won't make such a step so lightly next time, as they know what the potential outcome is.

Best analogy I can give: When I was a kid, I used to play tag in a large field. To the western side was a large ridge, with maybe a meter of walkable terrain, a fence-wall on one side and a large, 10 metre down, 30 degree slope on the other, literally covered in stinging nettles all the way down. One day as I was being chased I ended up losing my footing and falling down this slope, getting stuck halfway in a sea of stinging nettles. It was nearly half an hour later before my cousin managed to get down the slope and get me out of the bush. I was covered in stings and it took nearly two days before the marks went away. After that, whenever I played tag at the field, I would always take caution when taking the upper ridge. I will never again run there without thinking about that moment and considering the risk. Bioware are in the same position. They won't tread on the same ground without thinking about what their doing and the implications first, at least for the next few years.

I agree with you. Id like to see more Salarians too, but for me it was the 50+ characters vs 13 maps that gets to me abit. Your complaint involves actual character traites you feel wernt followed up which makes your arguement more plausable than mine. But for me I wanted to see Rannoch on MP. or more of the Salarian homeworld.

Kinda funny how Salarians are suposed to basically be Tech genius' of the Galaxy but dont even own a combat drone lol

BTW as for your comment on the Talon, hes my least fave new character and tbh I just dont get him, seems abit of a waste of a kit to me

So not only do we get (in my very personal opinion right here) subpar writing when it concerns the Salarians in ME3 and they are arguably the one species with the least screentime ever in the entire ME series, but after a year+ of MP with a community asking and asking and asking for more Salarian kits for MP, we finally got the very definite ultimate answer to our pleas:



Batarians says hi.


Pretty sure the Hanar have even them beat, you see all of two in ME2 and I think three or four in ME3. Still, mechanical issues limit them from being implimented as playable, same with the Elcor.


The drell helped to expand on hanar culture.

Batarians, all that's know is "We don't know much about them and some are pirate terrorist" What little else is known comes from Me ascension and planet codex entries.

And at the start of ME3, batarians are already severly crippled by the reapers, and their codex still is "we don't know much about them".

At least we got to see salarian politics, have a mission with a salarian, and got to see their homeworld. Plus they have awesome characters like mordin, kirahee, wiks, bau, and many others.

I can name 3 batarians who have ever been shown somewhat promenantly in this series, 2 of them are completly unlikable.

Still, I will say elcor are among the forgotten in ME lore. And I would have liked a salarian kit as well, unfortunatly like a batarian squadmate, the chips simply didn't fall in place for that.

c'est la vie

Well, I DID say "salarians like", as in salarians including (but not limited to) Mordin and Padok.

I'm puzzled. We got the new challenges and banners, one of them is a Salarian one. Does it mean the challenge will be about just 2 kits? It's one less than on the banner itself...

Perhaps the Sexbot is remote controlled by a Salarian or something...
