I loved the Mass Effect franchise. Never cared much for fantasy. This game changed it. I want more, now!

NEW SHIELD BUGS, YAYY!!!!
Actually it looks like this issue predates patch 3, and is a rare case. I reported it around here somewhere, but it got buried. Oh well. The hotfix today seems to have made it appear on toons which did not have it before.
Short form: a toon has base armor and front armor. They will be the same unless you wear a shield, which makes front armor higher. Obviously. This has been tested just in case, but yes. As one would expect.
Issue: a character bugs out - player or companion - at which point their "front" armor is lower than their "base" armor. No amount of gear-shuffling fixes it, it's still true with NO gear on (the hidden "base gear" you can't remove), and that same gear works fine on someone else.
Ass-tanking for everyone!
I don't even know if they're aware of this. I tried the Tech Support forum, here last week, and the Twitter account since we're all supposed to be using that apparently, but you know how fast the twitter guy responds when you tweet him anything other than pure gushing admiration for the game, so who knows if they even read it.
Keep an eye on your tanks. Still not sure if visual, or mitigation is affected for certain. I guess we get to do more testing for them now. /sigh
Edit: if this affects you, please post any details or test results at the below, so it has a hope in honk of catching someone's attention.

good to know they didn't fix the CTD problem. Played for about 4 hours and Crashed to desktop, no error.
Uhh.. They did release the patch notes, before they released the patch. Best part is it doesn't even take 5 measly minutes to google them.
there are no notes for the most recent update, which wasn't patch 3.

Why not
Yeah and archer girl animationes are even poorer and even those guys, like me, who have a massive lust in their underpants for dlcs will be very happy with them new dancing animationensos (dancing and shooting a shiny deagle). More astrariums and less walking, travel to it why waste time. I hope you get guns and be pimpin them peasent girls and flashy cars with 16 ferelden horse power. Even when pimpin them girl animationes are wacky so you need to smack that gal with a dlc pimp cane to unbug them - works 110%. I hope they will add a dlc garden to grow your own cocaine - imagine the possibilities - dark spawn on crack - you cannot shoot them with your tec9 even on the easiest mode. You receive crack rocks for each one and open the bestest loot cathedral with them.
Bioware, make it happen.

Using old mods also causes the messed up shields, which can be fixed by replacing the merged folder's data folder with the patches data folder. I crafted a new shield that had 0 ar with some mods installed.
Um, I played yesterday after work (or more accurately this morning since I work nights) and didn't have any other updates post 1.3. I just started up origin and got both an origin update and a fairly significant DA:I update. I don't see any notes any where. Any idea what on earth just got downloaded?
With Bioware and this passive silence, all their costumers going crazy (myself included), lack of comunication... And still feel that for some reason i can´t hate them. But still gonna ask for improvement here. People, you can´t throw a pacth? Hotfix? Crack? Song? Virus? And shut it, like, really. 1 focking line: "This is a new -insert whatever the hell this is-."
I do think that they shouldn´t rush with the next patch. Take your time to do things properly, but do it, and please, let us know. Don´t be shitheads. Dang I remember all the complains with DA2, and all the shitstorm that came with the Mass effect 3 ending. Is a tense relationship.
Bioware, we came to this point?:

Yup. Just checked my toons, and my Cassandra has the ass-tanking-syndrome too. Her front armor is lower than her base armor. Really annoying.
I do hope they know about this, and that they fix it very soon.
I downloaded DAI tool. I will fix the game on my own if that's possible.
Don't have the "ass-tanking-syndrome" On either Cass or Blackwall (my only sword and boarders) Both have the +10 front armor as they should with the gear I have them using. Are there specific shields this happens with or is it random?

Some PC players want to slow down to the level of actual walking. Can you believe those guys? Poor developers at Bioware had to put walking in the game in the third patch because of them. Some just simply cant catch up to the speed the game rocks at, too fast, too furious for them! I am usually not up for dlc-s but this game made me want them bad, the community demands it, number one priority, i agree totally on that.

It's starting to look like a given character can be broken for calculating shield value, while the items themselves are OK, but my primary accomplishment on these boards will be to have coined "ass-tanking." I feel like i should hear a weird PZZNG that interrupts my game and proc an achievement.

First thought:
OP still stating Patch 3 is "Upcoming"...
And then they release a hotfix that breaks things. Again. This is the worst post-release support I have EVER seen for a game!

what did it break?
I just updated the game, got on my Nightmare S&S Qunari to find that Giants are now unkillable. They glitch when they die, and stand tall without being able to take any damage. They won't harm you, but they won't give you any XP and you can't loot them. This hotfix broke things, seriously.

Read people's comments and find out.
Just tried to play after the new semi-patch: m,y FPS has dropped from about 45 on ultra to 8. DOwngraded to high and still get 8fps. Haven't changed anything except the new origin upgrade and DAI patch. I didnt want to install it, but of course it won tlet you play until you do. grr.
And yes to all teh PC ppl who keep asking for "click to move to location/interact"

Actually, this happened to me once before Patch 3 ![]()

What? You're saying we now have click-to-move? O_O

I wish it was true but it's not. There is no click to move.

My hopes, you dashed them :-(
So, after my exam today I was looking forward to some DAI, but after what happened with patch 2 I am very carefull installing any update. And missing patchnotes don't exactly help to gain more confidence.
Guess I'll go back to watching Dr. Who until there's more info.
I love the game, I love BW, but really the communication BW -> Community is horrible!
