Mass Effect Legendary Edition Patch 1.3

You guys do realize that in the old ME2, you would ALWAYS start with aminimu of 120,000 credits unless (and only unless) you were doing your 1st ever run as a cold ME2 non-import start. The patch notes now say the starting CAP is 100,000 credits. So, if accurate, you will never start with mroe than that. It's way less that the ME1, Rich, Level 60, starting bonus if you had already completed ME2 at least once... which was a total fo 350,000 credits.  One hundred thousand credits is just enough to buy 2 weapons upgrades on Omega (if you negotiate the discount).

I'm not talking about ME3... although I think throwing the DLC guns into the spectre requisitions terminal is also a bad idea.

As I said, I have access to the old game... so I've decided for myself the graphics improvement in ME2 and ME3 are not sufficient to warrant my playing with the added hassle of rebuying my DLC guns every new (not NG+ playthrough) with more limited funds available to me than I have in the old game.

It's as simple as that... you guys enjoy.

Pretty sloppy of EA to release/force feed the patch and not supply patch notes earlier today.

And when they did release the patch notes they seem to be basic to the point of having many players confused as to why they've changed things that weren't complained about and ignored other significant bugs/problems. The EA forums are still packed with bugs/issues post patch.

head desk. I didn't think about that. Granted I'm unlikely to get on for... A while now.

I disagree. There are products that are much more passion projects where the creator doesn't care how much money it makes but just wanted to make that product. 

I don't really have a problem with going back to the original amount of money you got when you imported to ME2. I never felt I had a problem buying whatever I wanted to buy, as you get a ton of cash after every mission in ME2 and you can loot a lot more (hell, if your med-gel packs are maxed out you get 100 creds every time you loot a med box).

Okay, just tested this on Xbox One. I had max credits in ME1, just started ME2 with 35000. This is just what I started the game with (didn't leave the first room) Don't know if you get more when you actually get to the Normandy or not.

Someone wrote that Locust is present from the start in NG+, so I assume other DLC weapons and armors are as well.

The onl yreason why I think they did wha tthe ydid was to give people a reason fror doing things in thas tyou unlock things as you progress through the game besides the MELE was I think moer aimed at newcomers rather than veterans as I've mentioned before I do think hey need t orethink wha tthey'er doing with the ME2 credits though because unlik ewith ME3 wher ewe can jus tdo matches in the Armax Arena to earn as many crdits as we like t obyu what w eneed or want ME2 doesn't have anything like that. Yes you earn creds for doing missions but most of it is needed to buy the standard upgrades that were in the game to start with. Thankfuly I'v estill got the creds I started my playthrough with so this run won't be a problem next one however could well  be if we'er forced to hav eto choose between byuing the DLC equipment or getting our ship upgraded t ofac the collectors so nobody dies. It's a tricky one but I think we need a fwe more creds thasn what the old system used. I thuink if they'd reduced i tto 2% or 5% or something tha tmight hav ebeen better than 10% ds it would have given us 200,000-500,000 credits which I think woul dhave been enough. It might b einteresting to see wha tpeople would choose but I guess it's a hard thing t oget right given al the DLC items are in the shops now. I think it's likel ytha tin my case is I'll just d owha tI've don ein this playthrough an djus tbyu what I think I'll use as I still have most of my creds as I'm sitting at around 700,000

This is also false. Completely.

Do we like free shit? Yes, and so do you.

I pay $30/pair for socks. I could buy them for 99¢ a pair.

Do I want to pay less? Sure, if I can get the same quality.

I feel like this was a throwaway comment, but it needs to be addressed.

Some children are easily misled, and despite the emoji I felt clarity was important. Forgive me.
