Rachni, Pyjak, Salarian - Mass Effect 3 Coop

[Flint]

I'm using this topic as an opportunity to moan and complain about my wretched luck, because after all these hours of MP and countless booster packs I still haven't unlocked any pistols and have to make do with the starter one with the few classes I use pistols with. Grrr.

[Ravelle]

I heard you like the Avenger so here's another +1 to your Avenger Rifle. :L

I had a scare last night when I tried to buy one of the new 33,000 credit Veteran packs and the transaction failed to complete. My credits didn't reduce so I carried on and found that my character had suddenly gained 6 extra skill points from nowhere. Weird. I decided to log out and restart ME3, my skill points then went back down to what they should have been but my credits had been reduced by the cost of the pack.

I was prepared to howl with rage but then checked available character types and it seems the pack had been purchased and I'd unlocked a couple of new races. Still have no idea what else I got though.

I had a scare last night...

This happens to me any time I buy a pack after doing anything in mp - at least you're not getting ripped off, but it is pretty annoying. Though on the other hand my pistol barrel went from I to III at some point this week and that discovery was exciting.

I had fantastic luck with upgrading the M-27 Falcon - I got it up to IV and then got barrel upgrades - right up until they nerfed it on Tuesday. Khaaaaan!

But they buffed turrets and the M-76 Revenant, so now I'm playing a Quarian Engineer with a machine gun and a deployable machine gun.

Well well, this is rather fun. I'll be around tonight with my Turian Sentinel if anyone fancies a few games.

[Ravelle]

If your game isn't full when I try to join I'm in!

Moaning, nature's greatest problem solver. Two rounds into a session and I get myself a Phalanx handgun.

The Phalanx is all good and all but it doesn't shoot Singularities like the Scorpion, oh what I'd do for that gun.

Also EA get your servers functional, that I get the From Ashes DLC can't be authorized every time I start the game is one thing but when I buy a package and I get three times the message the transaction failed, then when I reload it suddenly did buy the package but didn't see what I got is really annoying.

There's another multiplayer even this weekend, although not quite as fun as last week, it's a bonus of 25% XP for every level, challenge, opponent, etc. So I assume it's a flat +25% XP added on at the end of every mission. There's a hint that you'll need a high level character for next week's event...

With Reaper forces beaten back, relief efforts are under way in the newly-taken territory.

New Levels?

All players will get +25% experience over the weekend as Citadel Allied Command reviews the lessons of Operation Goliath and uses them to train new forces.

New Races and/or classes?

I see no hints for using high level dudes though.

[Flint]

Naw, I think "newly-taken" is simply fluff wording for "we beat the enemies in the random levels and now they're ours again (until they come up in "choose random level" again)", and the training new forces bit refers to the lower level characters you'd use the exp boost with.

[Ravelle]

That makes sense I guess, got my hopes up a little too. Oh well here's hoping for April.

[Flint]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got some new characters at some point though, the selection screen has a conspicuous empty space for one additional character for each class. I think the new ending DLC rumours said something about new characters included with it but who knows about that.

Yeah. I expect them to expand class roles and whatnot.

In the meantime, Turian Soldier with Marksman and Revenant = DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA

[Heliocentric]

I hope they do expand the mechanics because as they stand I'm getting bored.

[Flint]

I wouldn't mind a few more levels and maybe some new objective types myself.

[Ravelle]

I have a Turian Soldier but his shield is made of porcelain and because the stick up his butt he can't roll.

Roll Sentinel so he can take the stick out and beat people to death with it. :P

But really, when you can take on two Geth Hunters at a time at point blank range with the power of dakka, who needs to roll?

Yeah I guess, he's just so vulnerable at low level compared to the rest. :P
