I call for a continuation of ME3 challenges. Have we given up on MEA? In all honestly, I'm having a hard time finding the time/motivation/inspiration to do the same thing here as was done with ME3. Maybe that was just lightening in a bottle? Maybe it'll happen soon...? We shall see I guess. I feel that the torch may have to be passed on... Even fixing the great number of bugs, which (let's give them the benefit of doubt) plague MEA's MP because it's new and untested (by whose decision?) out of the two ME3MP is the clear winner in terms of balance, attractiveness and overall fun. I for one will continue to play ME3MP for as long as they keep the servers up, hoping that they'll eventually sell a remaster for the newer consoles...

This is separate from what Bioware have in game. It was completely community driven in the previous games and will likely continue in the near future... I'm just giving people time to unlock a few things. I'm starting to feel a weekly mission coming on pretty soon though. Keep grinding those manifests Edit: typos NO!I want more ME3 MP challenges I can't,just can't like MEA MP.Today i started a bronze solo with 1 level soldier ( descipe 2 level 2 ops packs 2 missiles and 2 medigels) and died on 6 wave because of devices.Guess what,i couldn't enjoy it,then just started ME3 MP solo.

Guess it remains to see how everything shakes out, but not clear to me there would be any reason to start a challenge series for MEA in the short term. Too many bugs, and the balance is all over the place. Maybe it gets fixed, I don't know.

With current balance in the state its in and various glitches I don't think challenges are that good of an idea. Team or duo challenges would probably be shit for anyone not the host. Would not recommend having headshot medal requirements, for one, unless they fix the off-host hitboxes. Guess it remains to see how everything shakes out, but not clear to me there would be any reason to start a challenge series for MEA in the short term. Too many bugs, and the balance is all over the place. Maybe it gets fixed, I don't know. is duoing already less objective dependent ? Cause i heard 2 obj are clear solo killer Only uploads are a solo killer (triple area hacks that lose progress if you leave them and are interrupted when enemies enter the circle, for those not aware). It's possible to complete them, but usually not worth it. They've ruined so many semi-decent solo runs. It seems I only get good objectives when I play like garbage. Targets/Devices are actually the easiest objective to complete because now the device activation has been patched to be about half as long. Area hacks are dumb, but bosses on the objective waves don't respawn on gold so you can kill them at the outset and then camp out area hacks for the remaining duration. However, as far as I can tell you are penalized for not having team mates in area hacks, because unlike in ME3 MP it doesn't seem to scale to the number of players in the match. So instead of taking 60 seconds in a solo it takes ~105 seconds, which is kind of an F YOU to anyone playing solo. You also get less money (about 9000 fewer credits on gold) for a solo extraction, because again, F YOU. I think Bioware actively wanted to discourage soloing this time around and promote ~teamwork~, or at least I get that feeling.

Heh, uploads are no problem for Bronze solos. But I agree they were trying to make it harder to solo / hero objectives.

Sigh... I have gotten the same objective on Wave 6 for all my handful of gold solo attempts, can you guess which one? Also it would be nice if I had like a pistol barrel or magazine or something.

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well.
Does anyone know, if you get the triple upload (area hack) in a gold solo, is it even possible to do it with a character that has no cloak?
In addition is it already possible to submit a gold solo for ME Andromeda, or is it to early (or only for speedruns)?
If possible here my first solo with the Krogan Mercenary: Old Shard / April 28 2017 / 53:58 / Firebase Sandstorm / Outlaws / Revenant & Raptor
Thanks and take care!

There was a solo thread preemptively started just before launch, however, I'm sure it's been buried into obscurity.

Well if this is gonna be the solo video thread, here we go
I'm pretty sure with just a few adjustments and better aim I could get under 30 minutes, and that's with no consumables.

-All Korgan, Only Krogan weapons -All Asari, only Asari weapons -All Turian, only Turian weapons -All Salarian, only salarian weapons -All humans, only human weapons -Pure biotics (only use biotics) -Pure tech (only use tech) -Pure Combat (only use combat and guns only when buffed by combat power) -Longest running game in time -Shortest running game in time -Kett weapons only -Milky way weapons only -Remnant weapons only -Angarans only -All same type character run -Shotgun only -SMG only -Auto Rifle only -Semi/Burst rifle only -Pistol only -Sniper Rifles only -Melee only Yes I'll edit this list as they come up it'll take me a bit but I can come up with lots of challenges Meh, since the weapons are rather underpowered it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Most of the best builds are built around melee anyway. I figured this would be more like individual feats, like kill two enemies with one bullet three times in one round or take out 4 guys at once with one swing of a Krogan hammer. Both feats I've accomplished and recorded on Brokebox one btw. After 4k plus apex points you kind of start looking for ways to make the game more interesting, not less lol.

Have we given up on MEA? In all honestly, I'm having a hard time finding the time/motivation/inspiration to do the same thing here as was done with ME3. Maybe that was just lightening in a bottle? Maybe it'll happen soon...? We shall see I guess. I feel that the torch may have to be passed on... I didn't get ME:A for various reasons and have been vindicated since it's release. I said I might get ME:A only for MP if I heard it was an improvement on ME3's MP. It is not. It's clearly worse and not as fun. Definitely lighting in a bottle from a team of people who got lucky. Meh everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's hard to take anyone seriously who says they've been vindicated in not buying a game because it sucks when they've never played it. You wanted to believe it was bad so you only listened to those people disparaging it. You don't have any idea how the game plays, you obviously made up your mind about the game before you bought it but that just shows that - while entitled to it - your opinion holds no merit, you have no clue. The mp IS better, it's very similar to me3 but the addition of the jump jets, more characters, more weapons and a diverse array of powers is for myself and many others a vast improvement on me3. It's kind of hard to say they caught lightning in a bottle when this is the fourth game in the series. You may want to Google what expression actually means. Aside from the fact that the guy you quoted, prestaciois, was referring to the community challenges as lightning in a bottle, not the the mass effect games. Not trying to insult you, and I apologize if you take offense, none was intended. I just tire of people badmouthing games when they have literally no idea. You admitted you were vindicated, which means exactly this: you said it was bad you looked for people to agree with you and then started in on the "I told you so". We'll I'm now telling you, you're not vindicated, you're wrong, the mp is an improvement, I've spent over 50 hours with it, so they've done something right because for every nay sayer like yourself there are 10 more who love it. So go somewhere else to spit salty comments about a game you don't own, this thread is for people interested in community challenges. Thanks for your input.

For every 1 who doesn't like the game, 10 love it? What? Because I could say something like... "for every person that play ME:AMP, they all prefer ME3MP" and it would ring true. If you think it improved, that's fine, but most didn't, contrary to what you believe. ME3MP was lightning in a bottle. It was a peak in 3rd person, cover based, horde mode gameplay. Something that might not be surpassed for some time. How can I have no idea? I have eyes and a thinking brain. I can read reviews, look at game play, hear the opinions of friends I trust etc etc, then come to a reasoned decision. I think you should look up what Vindicated means, because what you described is just irrational. At no point did I say it was bad before I'd seen or read anything. I presumed (based on probability) it was going to be bad in terms of single player because the director of the game was Mac Walters. I said I would wait and see for the MP, and as far as I can tell, it has not improved. Despite the jumpjets lol. At no point have I been jumping on bandwagons, telling people "I told you so". So go somewhere else to spew you asinine drivel. Thanks for your input, unearned condescension and laughs you gave me.

Thanks for your input.Come back in 1500 h and tell me you still find it fun. 50 h is nothing. I have around 25 h, and I can already tell, despite the latest patch, it's a loljetpacks shadow of ME3 MP.

And lets not pretend one had to selectively seek out people with bad opinions about MEA just to confirm their own assumptions: the game received a very poor reception pretty much across the board from critics, and if anything, the reception from fans was even harsher. Last I saw, MEA's metacritic score on ps4 was around 73 or so (vs. a 90-something for ME3), and the average user score was significantly worse (think the average user score was in the 5-6 out of 10 range). Of course you're not alone in thinking more favorably of MEA- not everyone thought it was a poor game and significant step down from ME3- but this is absolutely the exception more than the rule. If you asked for input from a random group of people who bought MEA, chances are very high the feedback would be somewhere between negative and underwhelmed.
