I'm expecting it to be better than Inquisition's MP, and hoping that it has a high skill ceiling (but won't be too broken up if it doesn't). Beyond that, I'm cool with pretty much anything.

Same for me. The ME3 formula with some improvements.

I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm hoping for something that takes ME3MP as a solid basis and improves on it with better netcode, better enemy AI and no three-in-one buttons.

I expect for it just be "meh", I hope it's awesome though. We'll know more after BF1 and TF2 launch, though. I have a feeling that they're waiting on those two to get out of the way, because if not, it'd break the internet.

i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target.

Didn't really play ME3 mp that much it got stale quickly for me and there was a lot of lag when I was playing anyway. So hopefully more variation and better servers and I may give it a try.
Oh and yeah don't have the same unlock system, was way too random for my liking.

With all this said I'm mainly a SP gamer so we will see if they can intrigue me enough to want to try it.

I'll certainly agree with that. I'm no fan of competitive games. I quit Battfront as soon as I found out you could spawn camp. That was good, what? 20 minutes into the game of launch day. I won't play Overwatch. DOTA and LoL? lol ru srious? Perhaps when I was younger and the inner troll was stronger within me. However, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with these games, it's just that they're not for me.

Bigger and better than ME3 in every way.
More balanced weapons and kits
Better netcode
Snipers on or off host shouldn't have damage reductions
More customization options such as tatoos, armor choice and better skin color variations
-+More variety in map design. I liked the verticality of Condor. It'd be nice if we can get another mountainside map
Co-op missions with a defined goal, kinda like Uncharted 2 and 3
No more waiting for other players :pissedoff:

What I expect - Less characters but more options
Horrendous RNG
Varying maps
To lose all my free time
Free MP dlc to be offset wth microtransactions

I would like - Andromedan races in MP
RNG only on consumables, weapon mods & upgrades should cost increasingly more & more creds
Deeper customisation of MP characters
Humour, would love some comedy in the MP somehow, even if it's just goofy armour cosmetics
Challenges that unlock new & cool things
A timer countdown ala ME3MP when the majority of the party ready-up
In-game kick DA:I got it right with that

The last time I took a personality test I failed it.

+1, this is pretty much also what I expect them to improve. Better AI on higher difficulties instead of just buffed HP/damage would be my favorite gameplay improvement.

I also hope they keep it simple, the current system with 1-4 players, 3 powers and compact sets of character skills compared to SP worked well. One of the strengths of MP besides variety imo was the nice and effortless flow of the gameplay, I hope they can keep that going in the next installment.

They´re dead !

as a 3rd world-er, I hope there is a better networking code one the game. It was pretty much unplayable for me, or if I hosted, it was unplayable for others.

With that fix I could probably get behind tons of hours in the MP.

Turians

Better netcode and fewer glitches/bugs

Longer support period and development of new content after release.

A better model for item acquisition than the RNG store.

Of course, this is Bioware/EA and I have no faith that it'll deliver any of the above, except maybe the Turians.

Anybody-else expecting they might not release multiplayer at launch this time? If the multiplayer is more ambitious in scope and there more modes is it possible they might delay launch of MP or stagger the post-release launch of new modes over several months to keep the flow of new content coming?

Now after briefly peeking into ME3MP again after two years, I would also like this:
- FoV slider or a bigger default FoV
- option to play in first person or move the 3rd person camera further back
