There's a Black Widow in the trailer, you Pyjak.  Didn't see it. But neither can I remember some of the other screenshots posted in here. I feel like there is a whole other trailer out there or something. I just read that there will native 21:9 support. At least that's one of their goals. Let's see how that goes... I can live with black bars in cutscenes if they are pre-rendered and not with the ingame engine. HUD-scaling would be nice I guess though in some games it doesn't bother me that much. Markers being off is annoying though - that happens in ME3MP with Flawless Widescreen. To be fair though the older Mass Effect games are a ton of crap when it comes to 21:9 and 3440x1440 resolution, so I'm rather glad for what Flawless Widescreen provides - even though it can look funny at time, looking through a scope for example or using Hunter Mode... |

... Also, it seems to me that shieldgate is gone or is not as noticeable as it is on ME3. ... I thought there was a distinct visual feedback when the shield went down. I assumed there was shieldgate still in for I saw no bleeding through to health in the gameplay vid. True, I had rewatch it, but true. Should pay more attention  . OTOH it seemed there was no slowdown effect (now it's when I rewatch it again and I start noticing it), but I don't remember if there was any when shields went down on ME3 SP while I'm think there was some when healthgated (or was it on ME2? haven't played SP in a long, long while). |

Same here - I think that might have been in ME2? After playing so much MP all the time dilation effects really kicked me out of rhythm in single player. |

Please no more RNG....... When I buy a box of goodies I'd really like to know what I'm getting. RNG seems to be pretty unpopular, but its really the only real way to go for longlivety in progression. either that or make items tremendously expensive so that you have to grind for a weapon which can be even more dissapointing if you dont like the weapon. and its confirmed in articles anyway that the shop will be pretty similiar |

I played the DA:I MP and the players from latin america are separated from the rest of the world, i'd like to know if it's the same with Andromeda, or are we all together This is a good question and a worry, the actual game performance and matchmaking was terrible in DAIMP. Hopefully we won;t have region gating but I wouldn't be surprised if we do. Agreed. In DAI I could barely find a lobby even when game was new. ME3 was great and I haven't had much trouble with lag there. |

Didn't see it. But neither can I remember some of the other screenshots posted in here. I feel like there is a whole other trailer out there or something. Some of the screens posted here only showed up for less than a second in the trailer (like the hammer melee or left-handed weapon), so it's difficult to make out details like that. I believe the devs paid some attention to the ME3MP forum, so they should have some idea about which guns were popular. Their own stats may not reflect it because of all the nubs, but the cult following of the Claymore was kind of hard to ignore. I'm quite confident we'll see the weapon in MEA again, considering that we've had it since ME2. Regarding Drell, who the fuck knows? If there are Drell in singleplayer, they'll show up in multiplayer. If they're not in singleplayer, they still might show up eventually. They made some pretty unique characters for ME3MP after all. |

I'm trying to remember, but didn't the leaked survey mention something about Remnant Vaults being part of the MP experience? I've read articles that the devs have been looking at other titles like Destiny for inspiration and I can't help but wonder if these vaults aren't something akin to Destiny's raids? Or maybe they could be trying to incorporate a larger narrative into the MP setting a la the Flashpoint "dungeons" in SWTOR? If this speculation is true, I would be personally torn on whether I wanted it or not. On one hand it would be a great addition to the MP setting; something more than just another horde mode. On the other hand I would imagine that such structured cohesion would ultimately limit the types of characters/kits you could use; I would imagine that putting together all the mechanics involved in a raid wouldn't preclude the notion that the players could be entering into a match as a Rachni or Elcor. New game modes sounds great, but the potential limiting of our roster size does not. Both add variety to the game, but I would have to say that I would prefer a larger sampling of kits to choose from. I would prefer to have both the new modes and the new character possibilities though. I can't be the only one that wants to take on a Remnant vault with my Elcor soldier providing backup to my squad. |

Thinks that I'v read:
You can use a jetpack (and you have to use it to get to all areas)
You can place turrets
There will be Classes like in ME3
New Biotic (same in SP I think)
Shop with special offers (you see what you buy)
Something like the Promotionsystem in DAI but not with that impact on the MP

Ah yes, you must mean the Wraith There is only one High Lord and his name is Claymore. All others are pretenders and false idols. One Claymore to rule them all, One Claymore to find them, One Claymore to headshot them all, And with it's glory blind them.  |

Well at least its my overwhelming concern about this that makes me think nothing else matters as much... I totally agree with you. And this is in my opinion the single most crucial, potentially game-and-community-breaking factor. Especially since there are early signs this is not impossible to be the case.
If they implement an uncapped permanent bonuses acquisition via promotion, the entire casual playerbase of the game is set to give it up, and if the game is unable to sustain a healthy, large and active playerbase then the rest won't really matter much. |

I'd say the Promotion System in DAI:MP is what killed it, who wants to play with PuGs that have 250+ promotes? It's just a button mashing sim at that point.

That's that skittery wee pistol that sounds like you're slapping stretched elastic bands on your enemy's skin, right? Don't get me wrong, it's the best pistol in the game, but its zap couldn't fart its way through a wet paper bag compared to the mightiest boomstick in this or any other game. I'm confident the developers know they'll be laughed at for being irredeemable pyjaks if they don't include the High Lord in their Andromeda plans.  |

: Something like the Promotionsystem in DAI but not with that impact on the MP :
Promotionsystem seems to be the wrong word:
For long-term motivation to play, a longer-lasting reward system with prestige experience points, which are available alongside the conventional XP, and provide progressive bonuses for several characters of the same game style.

No, not at all the case the promotion system and power you get from it is way overstated. I've played tons of both me3mp and DAIMP and though you do get great benefit form the promotions it is not totally out of line and not much different than playing with an experienced player with full manifest who has unlimited upgrades and such. You can still easily fail in both games if you do not play well. |

How is it any different than grinding to get a full manifest in me3mp? In both games you have to play, a LOT to be upper echelon character power wise (not skill wise). I can understand the concern on the issue but I've played a lot of both games, i am a high promote DAIMP player and it is far from auto win. The medium and higher levels with at least one more skilled player is a walk (Perilous, not heartbreaker) but a regular pug game can be challenge on perilous. The one thing I saw mentioned that may be a bit of a concern this being able to reduce your abilities or hit points or whatever and get better rewards at the end of a match as a result. |

. OTOH it seemed there was no slowdown effect (now it's when I rewatch it again and I start noticing it), but I don't remember if there was any when shields went down on ME3 SP while I'm think there was some when healthgated (or was it on ME2? haven't played SP in a long, long while).
Better, Best
