Multiplayer Feedback ~ General discussion

The MP got patched? Is that on PC as well? Becuase today it is unplayable for me, constant crashes and dc. Before today it worked just fine... 

Seen here:


Not sure if it was coincidence but my connection has been holding a lot better the last day or two.

I disagree on Overload. But nothing more needs to be said. This post is gospel.

It's hard to not compare it to ME 3. I'm just waiting to see what is tweaked and released. But for the most part I'm enjoying it and trying to play the MP for what it is.

I do miss some of my old biotic powers like reave and cluster grenades. But I'm hopeful for the release of new characters and power sets.

Please see response two posts down. (Rookie mistake)

I have to agree (whole-heartedly) with Tigger.
The list of absolute failures in creation is staggering. I did a search for Mass Effect timeline. According to the timeline, the Ark was loading and departing for Andromeda while Commander Sheppard was concluding Mass Effect 3. Perhaps you consider this to be unrelated, but I see it differently. I see it as all the powers, skills and training that existed with Sheppard (therefore including those characters of the multiplayer variety) existed and flourished at the time the Ark was loading. Since the personnel went into a cryo-stasis, they should neither forget their skills nor learn new/different ones.

This multiplayer game is quite possibly the poorest conception in gaming. As a shooter, it cannot hold a candle to its contemporaries. Destiny, The Division, even Halo perform better as shooters.
The omni-tool uses are despicable. Poorly engineered, poorly envisioned.
Power combos, which were dynamic in 3, are mere firecrackers for children in Andromeda.
Tigger listed some of the missing powers that should not be missing. I would like to add Dark Channel and Snap freeze to that list. However, with the downgrade of Annihilation, one might also consider that to be a missing power. Annihilation field used to be able to be detonated by the player for area damage and force (generally to get out of a sticky situation). No longer.
It almost seems to me like the developers didn't play ME3 at all.
Personally, I will try to lug through the incredibly boring campaign, but I'm pretty much through with multiplayer. It disgusts me so badly, that I can't stand it and I end up dissatisfied with myself for playing it.

No wonder they can't realize how awful the balance is when the only thing they ever play is bronze, look at their streams: always and only bronze. I mean, yeah if I was a dev and could add whatever amount of credits and mission founds like they do there will be no point playing at above difficulties I suppose, unfortunately we plebs don't have access to such perks.

I don't know how to say this in a understandable manner.
You as a developer may not agree, but the game is for the people who paid you to develop it in the first place, you as a dev may not like to increase damage for weapons and powers because you feel is too "OP" . But here's the thing, is what your fans want, what they feel is correct, that is the whole point of the game.

Ultimate TL;DR dev edition:
Guns and powers have crap damage =/= fun.
Enemies are bulletsponges =/= fun

Guns and powers have good damage = fun.
Enemies die when you shoot or fire powers at them = fun.

Play some ME3MP on Gold or above. See how many guns and kits were viable for those difficulties. If the number is higher than 1 then it is already better than ME:A MP.

Define "plenty".

I don't know how Bio considers Kett balanced, between the ninja Ascendant sync kills and the OP Anointed.

In absence of the last resort Cobra missile crutch, I might add.
And I agree, we may very well see rebalancing patches yet.
