Whats the best chests to get? Im always out of money and my weapons and mods are horribly low tier. Takes me an hour to get enough for one vet chest doing silver, i could do gold but im really just a drag on the pug in gold matches and 7/10 times we fail due to me being carried.

 

Im not really new, been playing MP on the pc for awhile but never really got into it hardcore. Recently started to play it again and really enjoying it but im pretty horrible. Sorry to the pugs i end up teaming with. Also missed all the challenges.

 

Also is there a point in promotions besides achievements? DA:I promotions serve to boost base stats, anything like this?

I'd start by pumping cash into the recruit packs to max out your base weapons and gear...then move on to veteran packs until those are maxed out then move onto Spectre packs.  During this time you should be racking up consumables to aid you in combat.

Just cheat and get all the credits you want, nobody cares anymore

 

Or sign up to play with hardcore BSN'ers who will carry you through Platinum and earn you a bunch of $. Kssshssk, let's get paid!

I'd recommend you to play with some of the good players on here who plays on gold and who could help you get through that. You'd get much better equipment and more credit and faster. 

 

I'm not good on which equipment you should get exactly since I just recently got back from a break and I'm not particularly good at mp myself yet but I do know that people here are very friendly and good at helping others who aren't very good.

Don't forget to stock up on JEPs (Jumbo Equipment Packs) as they're essential to your stock as well. That way, you'll have enough consumables that'll last you some time. Before I committed a cheesy sin, for every 100k I earned, I'd buy one JEP. Sometimes two if necessary.

Edit:
Once you start maxing out your UR (Ultra Rare) manifest, personally, I'd go for SP (Spectre Packs) even though it doesn't seem like you're getting much. In the long run, you're saving credits and getting IV consumables.

Takes me an hour to get enough for one vet chest doing silver,

Well, one silver game should net you enough credits for a veteran pack, and silver shouldn't be taking you an hour to beat. Even with horrible teammates you should be able to beat it in the lower 20 minute mark.

 

If this is your inventory, you're actually not that bad off. I agree with Stinky3377. Spam recruit and veteran packs to max out common and uncommon stuff. I can tell you've been buying Spectre and Premium Spectre packs based on the amount of rares and ultra rares you have unlocked based on your time played. 

 

If you want to play Gold, hit me up on Origin. I normally play around 8 PM EST in the US.

Ya for awhile i was saving up all my money for the premium spectre and the chest for new characters, it was taking me so long to just get one so i was looking over the guides for new players and decided to start spamming the vet chests.

 

And usually it takes about 24-27 minutes to complete a silver which nets me around 34k, alot of the times though the group fails around round 7 or 8 which then only gives 15k or so. So i might of exaggerated a bit but its more like 45-55minutes to get a vet pack, assuming i have to do two matches on silver to get enough.

 

Does promoting a class have any benefits to it? 

 

Also, i had nooooo idea you could look up my profile. Pretty nice to know. What do the ticks under the characters mean? Some have 1, 2, 3,4,5?

Those are the level they are and are appearance unlocks I believe.

You won't go anywhere as long as you keep calling them chest.

So i might of exaggerated a bit but its more like 45-55minutes to get a vet pack, assuming i have to do two matches on silver to get enough.

 

I guess that's normal for now. On one hand, like the others said, you could find good players on BSN and have them carry you through gold or platinum and you'll make money way faster. On the other hand, I'm not sure that's the most efficient way to progress. I remember it took me quite some time, blood and tears to be good enough and have good enough equipement to be really comfortable on gold or even silver. You'll have to go though the Trial of the Grasses like the rest of us, not everybody survive it.

 

 

Does promoting a class have any benefits to it? 

No, it's a way to re-spec your powers without having the "reset powers" item, which will be very costly for you to get in the beginning. It will also increase your N7 rank, which at this point doesn't really serve any purpose. It's also part of the challenge "N7" which is himself part of the global challenge "Mass Effect"

 

Also, i had nooooo idea you could look up my profile. Pretty nice to know. What do the ticks under the characters mean? Some have 1, 2, 3,4,5?

No idea what you're talking about.

Promotions allows you to rebuild every character in a class and start and level 1. So if you promote Adept class, all your Adepts are now level 1 and you can reassign their powers as you level up. Promotion also adds 10 levels to your N7 rank (red number). Plus going from level 1 to 20 gets you another 20, so a promotion basically gets your 30 more levels in N7 rank. There is a challenge for promoting 60 times I believe, other than that, no real point. I stopped promoting ages ago. 

 

 

Also, i had nooooo idea you could look up my profile. Pretty nice to know. What do the ticks under the characters mean? Some have 1, 2, 3,4,5?

Just the amount of appearance options you have unlocked for them. That also means that's how many more times that character can drop in packs you buy. Once they're maxed out, you won't get them again (except the basic human classes). 

 

 

And usually it takes about 24-27 minutes to complete a silver which nets me around 34k, alot of the times though the group fails around round 7 or 8 which then only gives 15k or so. So i might of exaggerated a bit but its more like 45-55minutes to get a vet pack, assuming i have to do two matches on silver to get enough.

:huh:  :mellow:  :wacko:  :blink:  :( I can get you through a Gold match in 20-25 minutes, which will net you ~80k. I can't remember the last time I failed a mission that wasn't a solo.

Asari!

 

Unlock them with recruit packs. No guarantee they'll let you fondle the chests, though. They usually follow a strict "look, but don't touch!" policy.

So you're saying these practices are Kosher for newish players, like OP?

Just hack your credits. I did it 2 years ago and gave myself about 30M. That registered as a crazy spike in the credits tracker but bioware didn't care then and definitely wouldn't care now...

Plus there are even bigger numbers.

Like, oh say...999999999.

Why not? Of course he could play for like 700+ hours to unlock stuff and he would git gud doing so, but not everyone has the time or will to do it.

Regarding hax, I doubt they'd check what people have been doing all these years after support ended. Not even sure the team developing MEA now can access that data. 

 

Regarding packs, I recommend buying the cheapest pack (recruit pack) until you stop getting weapon mods and/or gear, instead of waiting until maxing common guns and kits. Weapon mods and gear are imo more important to play in higher difficulties, particularly armour piercing mods. Then start buying the next priced pack (veteran, I think) until you get no more mods/gear again, and move up to Spectre packs. You can also buy one of the more expensive packs from time to time to (hopefully) unlock new stuff, and JEPs to stock consumables.

Hey! I've just set up my new Playstation 3 and I've just started Mass Effrct 3 multiplayer! It's been about 3 years since I've played and I have my own account now! I'm so happy and nervous haha. I'm looking for people to play with. :) My shifts at the cafe where I work are mental so I can't say when I'll be able to play, but I look forward to seeing some of you out there. x
