Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer - General Discussion

More than one modes would be nice and a steady flow of new content to keep people playing.
I used to be an anti-mp person, more like, I was afraid to play online with people and ME3 MP was the first game I ever played online.(Even if I only played very little because it was like 2014 ,long after the game release). I know ME is a single player experience first and foremost but I don't think MP should be so harshly criticized. Of course, tying the MP to SP like they first was a bad decision but overall ME3 MP was pretty good and I wish I had played through it when it was fresh.Now at least I know I can do that in Andromeda.

As far as wishlists are concerned,I know it would never happen but I 'd love some form of PvP with objectives.It would be cool for once to face people instead of waves of bots.

How'd I miss that in the trailer? N7 Crusader is my favorite Shotgun.

Nope.


Always read the fine print.

It's NEVER a good time to preorder EA games.

NEVER.

I haven't been paying any attention to the Andromeda press

Have fat turians been confirmed for the MP?

I guess everyone has already noticed it, but for those for perhaps have not, Ryder carried both the Piranha and the Reegar during one of the gameplay scenes. Either the Reegar is no longer a shotgun (which would make sense) or we will be able to carry two weapons of the same type.

They could have a special weapon category like in ME2. That overpowered piece of shit would fit into that category better imo.

Huh? What's wrong with double shottegonne? That's two omniblade handles!

yes, of course. The balance... and with the number of kits in MP, achieving that nebulous dream will just be even more of a ah-ha-ha-hah... proposition. Even in the tank-DPS'ish set-up, not the true trinity.

to the 2nd point:

yes this is exactly what made mass effect 3 fun, no dependencies. it was still a coop and you could help each other out but there was no "competetive" thinking where people rage or leave games because somebody didnt pick a tank, this is what ruined Pugs in DA:I.
Im okay though, if they made some kind of hardcore mode where it is required to do that, but it should be a seperate game mode and not just an increased difficulty.


also what i would like to see:

- more difficulties if they add in paragon grinding, but maybe later as a dlc and not right away at start. we dont need 1-2 people per game that do all the work, thats just not fun if you cant do anything. since this was more or less confirmed i thought id mention instead of ranting about it

- custom mode setting: maybe something where you could do your own balance and settings for a match, like enemy diversity / difficulty, basic weapons only (or other "fun" modes) that of course change the amount of exp/rewards you get depending on how difficult it is. i believe i saw such thing in the game thief and really loved it although the game wasnt good (in my opinion)

- Better weapon balance. While i already posted that id like it if rarity also affects damage, i think that weapons of the same type (pistol, shotgun etc.) should be on par of each other (im pointing at geth/collector weapons from ME3MP here )

- More (diverse) weapon mods. ME3s only choice was really either focusing hard on cooldowns or on damage / damage + weight. other weapon mods were gimmicks, especially scopes / heatsinks that were useless in higher difficulties. (with few exceptions of course)

- And i cant believe i havent read or posted this already: please, more explainations on stats and/or display your stats correctly.
im talking about stuff like health & barriers in combination with health/barrier buffs. Example: your krogan had 1000/1000 (health/shield) as a base, if you leveled your character you went to (i dont know the exact stats) something like 1750/1750. if you add a gear that adds 100% shields on your next mission you had 1750/2750 and not 1750/ 3500 because the extra amount was only granted for your base stats. it would have been enough to say that the shield bonus was only applied to your base stats.
when i read about that, it actually made me furious . so please, either better explanations on how stuff works OR a UI that shows you the endresult of your stats when equipped.
