I can't remember a single buff that actually did something useful or make a bad weapon usable all of a sudden. Don't get me wrong (judging from my previous post): I never cried about the nerfs, but I also think they never did any useful buffs and all in all ME3MP is super imbalanced and no balance patch they did actually changed anything about that. The Arc Pistol went from being mediocre at launch to one of the very best weapons in the game through a series of buffs. The Eagle as well. The Eagle was the butt of a lot of jokes early on in the game but became a more than solid weapon for some classes.

I was mad when they took away my 15 second Tactical Cloak. It was glorious.
I was also upset when they nerfed the Biotic Sphere. It used to be big enough to be comfortable using because it gave you a large area to work with. Then they cut it down and now the space is too small for me to comfortably work with so they essentially nerfed it into uselessness for me.
Also, out of the 5 available asari, only one is second stage? Smh ffs
Man what i wouldn't give to just make my very own mp character. Skills, armor, weapons, appearance etc.

Stealth Grid is inconsistent, often only working on a single target in the area, if at all. This could be just a visual error, as there is often a decloak sound effect when the timer would expire or if it were to be broken by an action, but often it simply doesn't appear to work.

I don't know if it's me but I can't kill the mic input from other players. I got a few very noisy background matches. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the MP. Bronze is playing real tough.

First impression: It's a shit ton of fun. 2nd impression: Guns are very, VERY weak. Even on Bronze difficulty. Holy hell, some basic enemies can take a full mag. I played only Gold/Plat & ME3 and the guns on Bronze in this game feel weaker than an Avenger on Gold in ME3. 3rd impression: I miss the mini-map.

I've played multiplayer for close to 5 hours. I like it. One thing I didn't like, was the weak hosts. I couldn't move or jump. That's not the fault of the game, more so the hosts. Guns are definitely weak, even in bronze. I had a level 5 or 6 Avenger and ..... . I played Silver a few times it was chaotic. I like it. For the most part multiplayer levels are going to be tougher than ME3 and working together is going to be really important. Also, I love the jetbacks.

I watched MP streams for like almost 5 hours and they went by quickly. I missed heavy melee, didn't understand the leveling of characters, have questions about the ability targetting and think the Asari Adept looks like a really nice character to play.
Targetting: I didn't see any target brackest but I saw arcing powers. How do we keep track which enemy is targetted (ME3 had the brackets)?

Yes I remember those. Not that they made the gane more balanced or anything though. Quite the opposite...
You are right, they did some buffs as well but just like the nerfs all the changes they made never really did actually balance the game.

In terms of: My Human Engie dishes out the same damage as the Geth infiltrator? No - but it made me play the Human Engie again and enjoy doing so. I don't look at dps when I choose a kit - sometimes CC is "better" or just more fun than going full damage dealer. You can't always balance that "fun" aspect, since it is not really quantifiable.

I meant more like overdoing it... which ended in a lot of snap cheese and excessive incendiary ammo use. The tech stuff itself was good, just the way they did it was overkill and it went from "not powerful" to "way overpowered". They never really got much right with all their balancing in my opinion. Some things were nerfed to oblivion others maybe overbuffed and everything in between was just "meh I don't really care". But they never actually got closer to evening things out amongst weapons and kits and such.

I guess they didn't really have that MP design experience and maybe ignored that balance thing mostly. I know a game that boasts MP and SP in one world where the devs think balance isn't necessary at all - give them the toys and have them go crazy with them. Might turn out not so good for MP portion (it PvP, too, lol)

Netcode.... Talk about lag events, lag handling, rubber-banding, etc. Have they improved the GD netcode? It doesn't seem to have been improved at all and it might be worse. It's more DA:MP laggy then ME3MP. Every game I played last night was laggy and not the ha-ha oh well laggy but the seriously wtf laggy. In an attempt to get some non-lag play time I started a solo and things were working well until someone joined and then the game froze for about 5 or so seconds. Once the game came back I was getting a frame every 10 seconds it seemed like. I quit. My MP experience gets a thumbs down because it generally just sucked but I'll get it a thumbs sideways 'cause it looks and should be so much fun when it works.

I had no issues with lag during my time. I hosted one game and pugged the other two. My experience was similar. This may be due to being in NA with a combination of plenty of people to play with and quality internet though.
