Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer - General Discussion

This recent tweet diminishes expectation of multiplayer information on N7 Day.



Dragon Age Inquisition's (surprise) reveal was 10 weeks pre-launch.
I'm expecting MEAMP information in the new year.

I'm entirely unsurprised.
BioWare marketing aren't going to blow all their stories in one day  .

I'm expecting a good amount on Monday,
but BioWare will want 'news stories' to drop each month.

I really dream of a fun game with a lot of bullshit mechanics that piss me off to the point where I come to bitch to you weirdos about it on this forum.

Flying Remnants in a Vault of some sort , getting nasty in cqc .. Expect sync kills. 

^^^I agree...They did a stellar job with the MP. They just need to build off of that solid foundation.

Ooh, and microtransactions, we all love microtransactions

Fina-fuckingly we know some shit. I can't watch it live, the web page is nice, any gameplay yet?

Well i didnt see anyone else post this yet, so i guess ill just do it.

this is the section about mp from neogaf which you can find here


Multiplayer
-More evolved and refined form of ME3
-Card based economy where you earn XP and credits
-There are microtransactions but no real world money is required, you can unlock normally
-You still set the map, enemy, as before but you can also activate modifiers that can give you decreased health (for greater reward) or more damage (less reward)
-Bioware also plans to release custom crafted missions with unique modifiers that players can't change themselves
-These custom missions give you a 3rd currency, "mission funds" which allow you directly purchase items and weapons vs the mercy of random card packs; however these items are only available for a limited time in the store and can change often
-In MP, you play as the "Apex Force", a militia strike team from the Nexus
-Different enemies require you to use different tactics (some are shield heavy, some use heavy biotics etc)
-Playing MP will have advantages for the single player but it absolutely does not affect the ending of the game
-New "Prestige" mechanic added: With several types of characters, you earn regular XP and prestige XP. The prestige XP goes into every character of that 'type', for example 'tanky' characters. Earning enough prestige can grant you added health for all tank characters, etc.


I hate the prestige thing.

Lord help us all if the prestige mechanic is anything close to DAMP where people eventually became invincible due to promotion grinding. I really hope that won't be the case.

Yeah that's what im worried about...

Sounds garbo
