Can we get a confirmation that it is ok to edit coalesced to fix the Talon keybinds? I have messaged you and posted this multiple times, but you keep leaving us floating.

Collector cooldowns still not improved, AIU melee nerf just plain lame.

Funny to see such small buffs yet heavy nerfs (halving repair matrix duration, shields etc).

Also, I'd rather have a much longer Ascension stance with same damage penalty than such a small increase and slightly less damage penalty because it still has that ridiculously long animation...

I can confirm that modifying the coalesced to fix the keybinding issue with the Talon is acceptable. But modifying any other game data is not approved.

Have they made an official statement on this? That they are indeed suspending weekend challenges. That only seems like something you do when you are have another product ready to launch.

I'm still wondering what they'll do with the Galaxy at War readiness rating.

The ratings stop at 50% each, right?

I came back after what felt like months, and I thought they'd be much lower.

Awesome, I'll be doing this when I get home.

Can't wait to finally use this guy.

Ultra Rare stopped being "Ultra Rare" when it is almost as many different types compared to Rare.

I know "Ultra Rare" implies how hard it is to get one upgrade, but honestly.... 26 Ultra Rare Weapons, Each needing about 1 million to unlock one upgrade (assuming the 10% pack chance is true) for one gun. That is 10 million a gun, 260 million credits in total. That is what, 1750 Platinum games? *shudder*


So it's basically impossible for normal players to max their manifests now. This may cause people to quit playing the game after finishing all the challenges, rather than encouraging us to keep playing to max our weapons.   


My UR find rate is closer to 3% across all packs, whoever came up with this RNG is a genuine sadist, devil, and a 100% pure EA employee.

I like how people are saying the promotionals being in the UR pool is a bad thing. As if any of the promotionals are truly bad. The "worst" promotionals are the Valiant and the Valkyrie, and both of them become a lot better at higher levels.

Let's not forget that you could get an N7 Hurricane in those packs now.

THe buffs are nice, and the one class that took a nerf isn't doing too bad either.

All of these balance changes were warranted and very well-designed, and I like every single one of them.  I don't have the Spitfire, but based on what others have said, it looks like it should have been buffed some more.  In particular, I don't understand why it's so inaccurate.  If it's going to be a good shield stripper, it must be designed to be an anti-mook gun.... but its inaccuracy hampers its ability to do that.  It was pinpoint accurate in SP, from what I remember.

Also, if these are indeed the last balance changes, then it's really unfortunate there aren't AR buffs.  Overall, this is the best MP game I have ever played, but the fact that there are only two usable traditional assault rifles is probably its biggest failure.  I would have had much more fun playing this game if ARs did the damage they should, and weren't restricted to "it's pretty good on the Turian Soldier... on Silver."

Glad to see that the Geth Prime shots going through the Hex Shield was a bug, and happy to see it fixed!

Also, Talon feels very effective now, top tier class.

I like all the buffs, even if they're mostly small ones. Better Ascension mode is good, but i would rather have reduced cooldown on SS. I might actually have to try out the Talon again. Love that the Spitfire got more damage. As for the AIU, pretty much what i expected, except for the melee nerf. She still hits like a truck and has self revive, so I'm not worried about the other stuff so much.

We're still waiting for confirmation that weekend ops are done. I'm hoping that BW still have something up their sleeve, even if it's not exactly the weekend op we have now.

You completely f**ked up the AIU. Its like bioware nerfed the AIU and gave her awesomeness to the stupid Talon Merc. Truly sad. I'm not surprised that they screwed that in the ass. Disapointed.

Spent 2.2 million credits that I saved up for today (was hoping for some Lancer upgrades, but the promotion weapons are a welcome addition.)

Valiant VII - Arsenal Pack
Valiant VIII - Arsenal Pack
Venom Shotgun V - Reserves Pack
Valkyrie VI - Reserves Pack

Heh, not bad. Notice how I got all the V name Ultra Rares. Oh you silly troll RNG store.

well AIU is not competitive anymore :( HUGE nerfing. Good for the Talon merc. But overall sad.

2 PLEASE Eric. Increase the UR drop, please, is really frustrating and not fun at all to have all maxed out with tons of gear VI and still get trolled for months with some UR weapons

She needed to be nerfed bad. It's no different than the drastic nerf to the Ghost Infiltrator, N7 Destroyer and N7 Demolisher. People thought the world was coming to an end when those characters were nerfed, and guess what? They're still in regular rotation by a lot of players. The nerf won't keep the true AIU players away from using her. Just the lazy, incompetent players* that are looking for an easy outing in Platinum.

The Talon Merc BADLY needed that buff. We all know it.

* Yes, I know not all AIU players fit this demograph, but of the randoms that I've played with, the majority used her as such. Her nerf makes me very happy.

Good thing my Hurricane and Eagle got to 8 with Lodestar. Also, Spitfire needs more. So does the BPP. Otherwise good bunch of changes.

I sent a PM to Eric Fagnan asking about the Thermal Clip bug for PC. We think we know what causes it and want to know if Bioware has more information, if we are correct, and if we are allowed to fix it.

Here is thread if you are interested social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/16166516/7

Scroll down to Kaizen_DK's post.
