Last time I spent 70k credits on Jumbo packs so I can get one ammo booster.
Still waiting for those ammo booster packs...

So they released the celebratory mission. There are a few thread on it. JRandall0308 , can you ask the devs if this mission is a joke of some sort? To celebrate with a mission that crashes...I don't even know what's going on with this game anymore. They're wanting us to remember the first two or three weeks with constant MP crashes or something...

To celebrate with a mission that crashes...I don't even know what's going on with this game anymore. Bump. Tried 7 times, crashed every single time on W3 Hack. It didn't matter if I was hosting or not and neither did it matter if I was fighting (graphics heavy) or sitting still being cloaked (it also happen in a solo attempt, btw). It shouldn't really be my system: I'm gaming on an Acer Predator 17 X: 2.9 Ghz laptop with 32GB RAM and an nVidia 1080 (mobile) graphics card with 8GB RAM. I would appreciate an enquiry into this as well. Edit: I tried one game with the graphics settings turned down from ultra to low and - whaddayaknow - W3-crash fo sho... Edited edit: Also, Completed it (after around 7-10 different attempts; in groups; solo; different setups, etc) and we got through the run with a: Scrapper (myself), Engineer, Infiltrator and Soldier. Used 4 Cobras myself and went through 4 Ammo packs as well. But killing them quickly seems to be the answer as someone else said earlier in the thread. Let enough of them spawn and rocket you and it'll crash full stop. No two ways about it. And it's got nothing to do with how powerful your system is either. Tried on a 3570 with 16GB RAM and basic 7750 Graphics card, to a 4930k 64GB RAM and a 7950 medium Graphics card. All died when the rockets start flying if you let them.

The new mission there isn't based on how powerful your machine is unfortunately, so it's something external (or internal; inside the code) to that that is dying every time the rockets start flying.
Try and grab a full team of heavy hitters, not Biotic users as that's too slow. Full on Heavy hitters, everyone with Grenades or other powers that can mass wipe Armoured units. Also, for safety, spam Cobras in between as well. Also, do NOT sit around together to let them converge on you. Spread out and kill as quickly as possible. Leave only one person in the hack zone, everyone else outside to kill.

I too would like to see the Twitch team play this mission. Should be a laugh assuming they don't have a special version loaded up. But I'd rather they answer things over showing how badly they are going to do in that mission.

Half expecting a crash on the stream today, or they just skip the celebration mission altogether and focus on showing off the Juggernaut.

So what I'm hearing is that if I only pug, I should skip this mission entirely because we're not going to be able to coordinate well enough to kill the hydras before the game crashes, and the reward pack is shit? Sound right?
These developers never cease to amaze me. I mean that in the worst way possible.

That's not technically true. You can complete in PuGs, just everyone needs to know about the run. So don't bring your Biotic casters or any kits that rely on "slow" or tactical methods of killing that don't work against Armoured units.
In my completion I was the only "Rare" class there. The others were Solider, Infiltrator and Engineer. All Commons. So info just needs to get out there you need to kill Armoured units "FAST". Most people should be able to handle it then.

Maybe the celebration is they're dumping everything? Lots of apex packs available. Here's hoping.

Results of the dot vote. Only 12 votes, but Equipment & Boosters is clearly important to a lot of people, followed by Challenges and Possible Future Support. Weapons, with five 1-dot votes gets a nod for being (tied) on the most ballots. We'll see how many of these I can get through after the inevitable 'LOL Celebration Mission' question spam. category | 1 dot | 2 dots | 3 dots | TOTAL dots | Equipment & Boosters: ask for new Equipment to rotate in immediately; improve ammo damage bonuses; improve Cyclonics; possible to copy/paste existing Equipment to make new items? | 5 | | 1 | 8 | Challenges: why not Melee challenges?; Map Challenges shouldn’t be tied to difficulty; asking them to check if new maps are actually in the challenge rotation | 3 | | 1 | 6 | Possible Future Support: Tiran Kandros videos for new chars; pinned list of known issues; enemy spawn modifications; possibility of re-using SP assets in MP | 2 | 2 | | 6 | Weapons: proposals to improve them using balance changes (Piranha, Valiant specifically, but any you want to add) | 5 | | | 5 | Characters: can MP characters be copied and modified to create new characters? | 2 | | 1 | 5 | Powers: proposals to improve them using balance changes (Energy Drain specifically, but any you want to add) | 4 | | | 4 | Game Mechanics: Host Ping indicator details; telemetry for Platinum | 0 | 1 | | 2 | Packs and Drop Rates: Direct questions about how packs and drop rates work. They have been surprisingly forthcoming with this information. | 0 | | | 0 | Long-Form Questions: Questions too long to answer in chat (around game design philosophy, etc.) but that we hope they will talk about in a future episode. See Google Drive for details. Vote for this if you want me to propose it to Bioware. | 0 | | | 0 |

Found it. From Twitch thread 15: It's not hard. Turn the Halberd into the Mattock S and the Sandstorm into the Saber 2.0 Halberd was 189 Damage 300 ROF. Is now 140 Damage 405 ROF. This gives the same DPS but in a much more responsive feeling gun. Sandstorm was 199 Damage 210 ROF. Is now 500 Damage 100 ROF. This is a DPS buff but the Sandstorm badly needs one anyway and it gets the gun in line with other Gold tier ARs. Thanks! I somehow missed this the first time. Have added to the 'Weapons' category, if we get that far this week. If not, next week for sure. This is exactly the kind of specific proposals we need. It conveys to Bioware what we want (more responsive Halberd, stronger Sandstorm) in numbers that they can use as a jumping off point.

Apologies if someone has already made this request; I haven't read this entire thread.
Can you please specifically express our concern that the population is rapidly dying and nobody will be around by the time the remaining three characters drop?
I'd like to see a point-blank request to: (1) acknowledge that reality; and (2) difinitively answer whether any factor might make them consider releasing the rest together. I can't imagine the longstanding "no comment on future content" prohibition has any utility now that we know with certainty that there won't be anything further coming.

Although JRandall likely won't ask that question because he doesn't want to upset his abusive partner and have it break his other arm. May need to ask someone else who will be at the stream.

My guess is Artificer in 4-5 weeks, and then the 2 warp kits on N7 DAY.

If it's asked and they say no, I don't see myself playing past the weekend. If it's not asked, I don't see myself playing past the weekend. If it's asked and their answer is surprising, I'll probably play until at least a week or two past the content release. Nothing to lose, really.

As I have said before, I don't mind asking BUT don't expect any different answer from "we don't talk about future content".
So something like:
"Would you please release the remaining characters and weapons sooner than later? The playerbase seems to be drying up and if you wait, there might not be anyone left to appreciate them."

Juggernaut is live in the Apex HQ app. His description make him sound like a tool. A grimdark, "edgy", tool. Will post shortly.
