Upcoming goodies new info (characters and weapons)

Artificer is so close to the ideal class for me except two things.

1) it's just a human again. This is the kind of build I wanted a   Quarian to have.
2) Cryo beam.  Screw that noise, should have given us Barricade so we can hide back spewing out drones and invasions.

Not going to lie, I hate Cryo Beam and would have much rather of had Incinerate or Overload instead. Never been a fan of Barricade but I guess its a solid 1 point skill, allows clutch revives and makes devices on non cloaking classes super easy.

Also 2 more f***ing UR weapons... COME ON BIOWARE, not everyone plays this f***ing game 16 hours a day 7 days a week, have yet to even get the Batarian Vanguard, the Kishok, or Shorty and my highest lvl UR's are the Rozerad and Krogan Gladiator both only rank IV.

I don't like Cryo Beam because it deals little damage, can't CC anything other than red bars, and takes too long to apply its debuff. I would rather be able to simultaneously shield strip and stun 3 enemies with an Overload, or chunk a Berserker for half his health with a Double Incinerate than waste 4 seconds trying to apply a debuff to anything that instantly gets ruined the second someone hits it with a power or does anything with incendiary damage to it.

To me both Overload and Incinerate just have WAY more utility

Way I run my Kro-Engi is 3 point Rage, 5 point Turret for Omni-Link with maxed Incinerate and Overload and I don't think I've seen a class that doesn't have Flack Cannon kill things more quickly. One shots the shields off everything other than Destroyers on Gold with Overload and Incinerate one shots everything but Bersekers (leaves them at less than half health) Hydra/Destroyers/Behemoths (does like a quarter of there health) and Nulifiers (leaves them with like 1/10 of there health and the burn kills them).

Were as even when I specc'd into Cryo Beam on the Human Engi it literally didn't feel any different than having it with 1 point other then, oh hey I can chain shatter those enemies that I could essentially insta kill with other abilities anyway.(I've seen both Overload and Incinerate take out 4+ enemies sometimes without even triggering a combo)  Sure I could debuff something like a Berserker for the team to kill, or I can more than half health it and if someone detonates my incinerate the Berserker is left with like 5% health.

Lastly what good is Cryo Beam on a class that also has Invasion? Which is one of the best debuffs in the game, and it stuns lol

Only way I'll spec into Cryo Beam on the Artificer is if the class also has the +100% Priming Rate passive, only thing that makes Cryo Beam remotely useful.

Cryo Beam is pretty sad next to Snap Freeze (the power). Snap Freeze (the power) not only stole Cryo Beam's mojo, it rummaged around in the related passive skill tree and stole a name, too.

'Channeling' powers suck in general because you are exposed to too much fire while channeling.

Charge-up powers are OK because you can charge them from around a corner and then pop out and use them (ex. Overload).

Yeah, the 1.09 update was the most presumptuous piece of shit I've ever seen.  To think that the most hardcore of players like myself that would shoot for a maxed manifest would be willing to sink 4 times the amount of time into the game to then max the variants is the dumbest thought ever.

Even if the devs did everything right and then some making this game the greatest hoard mode ever, you're game is not THAT good that anyone would be willing to sink the time into getting the new total of ultra rares.  Because, Fact:  When vanilla UR cards would be maxed, that's about the time that the game gets old.  To think that few group of people would think so highly of your game that they'd just keep up the grind is flat out delusional.

Don't say that out loud. You might trigger a certain poster.

I just dont want spellcasting on my tech class.

Give me TECH abilities.  I dont want to shoot fire, ice, or lightning.  I want to deploy cover, turrets, drones, hack, sabotage, cloak, etc, etc.

I'm still pissed the Quarian Engineer in ME3MP was really a Quarian Mage lol.  one little turret and then shooting fireballs and iceballs.  I wound up always putting basically no points into those to run a pure Soldier weapons build on my FQengineer, with a maxed out sentry turret to assist.

On barricade, I love it with the shock upgrade because it means the enemies that always bumrush you just get staggered when they try.    My campaign build is Remnant VI, Barricade, and Infection(or was it called outbreak? I forget).  The barricade is fantastic and one of my favorite skills in the game. Far more useful in MP than in SP due to the open world nature of the latter, but still.  Set up shop anywhere with that, just put your back to a wall and fend em off.  Except the krogan, screw those guys and their cover breaching Carnage shots.

TBH, i don't even have this game installed on my ps4 anymore due to the lack of variety, haven't played since the big update, and can't justify buying it a second time for pc, unlike past MEs.

That's what's confusing me, OP states whatever dash 100DR. Is that DR during dash? Orr...

BW, send us those Quarian models you've been holding hostage since there's no more SP for them to be seen in.

No more patches means no more new assets. We're fucked man.

Frankly, whether there's another MP update or not, we're not going to get any more significant content. A bit of polish, maybe, but nothing meaningful.

The more interesting question, at least to me, is whether EA believes there's still sufficient value in this IP to make another ME game. MEAMP turned out far better than its initial state would have led any but the most optimistic among us to expect. The fixes just happened too late, and the SP was too weak to keep a steady flow of new players incoming by the time it reached a good state.

So much wasted potential.
