Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer - General Discussion

Mostly I just want to be able to teabag other players' corpses. If a player dies repeatedly at the first of every wave you should be able to drop trowel and urinate on their corpse. 😂😂

I only started playing ME3 this year. I really only progressed to a decent level (like playing Silver and not dying endlessly) at the MP in probably August.

I use an Enterprise class PC which happens to have decent integrated graphics.


I really don't care about Andromeda. I'll live with an almost broken game single player and multiplayer wise compared to a money grab fourth installment into a franchise that at one point was all about ending one singular threat for the entire galaxy.

I think some friends of mine won't make the transition either. Or they will. But I won't. I'll solo, or get back into the trenches in bronze, find someone to uplift, and then build an army. Yeah, that sounds pretty dope.

Sounds like it already is the case. Dumbest idea ever.

Because ME:A adumbrates itself to be a total disaster with super duper prestige points and stuff, I probably won't bother playing it at all

(Rolls lovingly in all of his promotions and prestige points)

Finally my darlings you are worthily something, together we shall rule the world.

I downloaded ME3 for xbone last night, hope it works as some have said the can't get it to work.

Sounds garbage already, the prestige system is what killed DAI. They have learnt nothing

No, trust me, you don't want that. So, your N7 is 10K means you promoted 500 times. Let's assume that every time you get a permanent +5 hit points and that a third of your promotions do give that bonus. That means you have about 800 extra hp. Base human soldier hp is 500. So, you essentially more than double his health. That will trivialize gold and put a huge dent on platinum.

There were some people in DAI-MP, including SpaceV3gan, who farmed promotions for months playing 18 hours a day and who would probably get 10x your N7 in 6 months. That means their level 1 human soldier will get ... what ... about 8K hit points. Now, that would trivialize platinum completely. So, they will have to bump the difficulty by creating some diamond level when everything hits you twice as hard and has 5x hit points. To make people play it, they will have to put 0.1% chance of drop of some special uber-mega weapon that trivializes this diamond level. And in order to keep the casuals going on bronze and silver, they will buff their shields and damage so that they can play their level 1 on gold as well so that they can promote more and easier.

Unfortunately, it did not work for DAI-MP and it won't work for Andromeda. People just play a few repetitive grindy games with some promotion lords and quit because it is boring. After all, the only long term goal that works and attracts people is that each and everyone makes a difference for the mission, there is minimal grind, and the game play is enjoyable. The attractiveness  must be in the game play not in the rewards it gives. If it is not, nothing works. Actual game play in DAI-MP was not too bad but the grind, region lock, evil store, and eventual re-balance due to promotion lords ruined it completely for most of the people. I'm not even talking about key glitch that was not fixed for 3 months and affected about a third of all games.

Your math is off, I've only promoted 330 times. Anyways, I don't know why so many ME3MPers are jumping on the doom-and-gloom train, it's Mass Effect we're talking about here. I'm sure that they've had plenty of feedback as to what people liked and didn't like about the ME3MP and DAMP systems, and I have little doubt that whatever MEAMP ends up being like, I'll find it pretty enjoyable.

I'm imagining something like a GI melee build with more shields than a juggernaut. I really cant see any possible scenario that the prestige wont ruin MP entirely.

Not to mention it totally punishes new players. If you buy the game 6 months later you will forever be nerfed in mp compared to everyone else.

What I also wanted to say is to praise Mgamerz. If it does end badly, maybe the Mass Effect modding community of space wizards can partially fix it.

mrw I'm excited about Mass Effect but then remember I'm on bsn
