Multiplayer Feedback ~ General discussion

problem: all or some players alive, and mission failed, wtf

(no device, no time limt, no other obective other tan survivive)

Where to begin......

First, letting one player host like ME3, it frigging INSANITY.....I cannot count the number of times I been dc'ed or that the game crashed when someone else hosted the game other then me and I as a player get NO credit, NO XP, NO NOTHING. So either let people see what the "hosting" players ping are or start hosting all matches on your own server to give us at least SOME stability here.

2nd, since I doubt you will fix hosting thing(Bioware/EA greed as servers cost money).....let players who's game dc's or crashes actually get some credit or xp from the matches they get kicked from. Some people, not me, even pay out real cash for those consumables so at the very least if you don't plan to give players credit for matches they get Dc'ed/crashed and kicked from is to give them back all the consumables they used during that match. After all, if we the players get no xp or credits...how is it that we loses consumables then....

Thats all major for now. Dont feel any reason to play multiplayer for now since I get crashed or dc's waaay to often for nothing.

Not the only reason IMO. Outlaws is actually the only reasonably well done fraction in MP. They have nicer graphics, more variable combat, really cool stuff there. They talk to each other and to player and use various abilities.

Remnants look all the same to me, feels boring after a few games, same color, same shape, same size. Yes, some of them fly, some of them walk, some have shields and some have armor, some try to bite you for no reason but they are just a bit too generic. Overall, IMHO, they are even easier than outlaw. Games take same amount of time on same maps.

Kett might be fun if I actually was able to see them. Most of the time they are just invisibly encroaching and then, you are dead. A bit too much invisibility IMHO, overdone in this department. They should pop out when they are hit, similar to geth hunters in ME3, at least briefly. Also, their graphics are very generic, the mooks, shielded or unshielded, all look alike and have very similar animations exactly aka sha-brytol from DAIMP. They are also mostly mute and make little or no sound when they move around, not sure why, have no idea about the lore. Two teleporting troll bosses are just there to troll people. I don't mind being trolled a little but IMHO in this case, it is overdone. At least they should try to get into melee range first and have some tell before actually executing people. Even demon ass commander in DAIMP, the most troll boss of all trolls, had some tells and could be actually dodged barring severe cases of lag. Here, it looks like first, you are tagged by whatever tags you and only after that, they teleport in and do their dirty thing, no real tells but maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure if there were, apart from stay generally away, the farther the better, penguin would have made a video guide out of it.

If you say so but I disagree, this is not the only reason. Pugs are reasonable people, if a fraction is dull and not funny to play, credits won't matter. I personally find game against other fractions less ... well, satisfying or engaging.



Sure thing, next step of robot addiction risen to a new level is here. j/k, did not mean to troll seriously, whatever rocks your boat.

I've been enjoying MEAMP alot i should say much more than ME3MP. And remember how mediocre was ME3MP at launch? It had barely any unique classes, keep in mid that everthing were added later. MEAMP at launch already is much better then ME3MP was, so i'm sure it will be even better later when they will add more classes and stuff.

Is it just me, or does it seem like most kits just don't have good synergy with their own powers?

They are, most likely, specifically designed around having to work with others.

Maybe lag? I just had a super duper laggy game where it took 6 of my poor man vanquisher I head shots to kill a kett dogfish with an infiltrator on silver. And no, i certainly hit something, each shot did some small damage and that head is pretty hard to miss from about 5 meters away. Also, for these 6 shots I had to reload the gun twice as I had one shot in the mag to start with.

The only time I've played Apex missions was when I joined a friend's match. Whenever I try to find a mission lobby I end up in a custom game on the same map. And if it DOES put me into a mission lobby the game CTDs somewhere around wave 5 or 6. Now I just send strike teams. Almost completed a solo bronze apex though.

Do spawn budgets still exist? I played a good bit over the weekend and never confirmed if a fiend died during an objective wave that another took its place. If anyone can confirm that would be great because I'm still in the mindset of kiting bosses during objective waves, but if there is no longer a spawn budget then I can focus if need to take down a boss early.

Also experienced choke point deaths a lot over the weekend. Beware of fighting in rooms with narrow exits like Firebase Zero, because if you need a hasty retreat from the lab I frequently backed into or ran face first into a mob or Hydra and had no where to go. Also, if a squad mate is backing toward the door you occupy or is running for his life, for the love of Pete, DO NOT block his exit.

I like the Asari Sentinel, and find Backlash an excellent power to spec into. Plenty of applications to keep your team standing.

You should be find going into silver as soon as you have the fitness (bottom line) line maxed out, there's plenty of damage reduction there to keep you going.
