Patch 1.05 feedback

I don't think anything in ME:A right now is Krysae level. Vanquisher from what I'm getting seems to be a case of Carnifex syndrome where it's basically the only worthwhile gun for most kits to take right now.

So maybe they'll nerf it in 8 months after it's no longer a top tier weapon due to other weapons being released/buffed and we've all stopped using it =P

Though if they ever introduce a weapon that seems to be absurdly overpowered? My advice is to get all the enjoyment you can out of it before they nerf it.

Still remember the first game I took out Krysae(rare) X right after its first release.
I used it like a single shot Sniper Rifle... and I was thinking "Wow, this gun is really really good".

Then I checked the forum and people were telling me that there are multiple shots loaded before I had to reload.

...I was like... What?!  How can they allow something so game breaking in the first place...
Geth Infiltrator + Krysae was the most broken thing ever in MEMP history.

So basically I'm still poking bears with sticks, they just sharpened a couple of small sticks and made the bears bigger.

The lack of buffs to accuracy and damage on basically all automatics and shotguns outside of qualizer/hurricane/piranha and talon are extremely dissapointing. No fix to smart choke either....

Same with ultra rare weapons, 9/13 are trash. The valkyrie will still be bottom of the barrel tier after this ''buff'' (spoiler alert the spoiler alert needed to be about a 100% damage increase).

Apperently there's a new class and it's not ultra rare so that's basically the only good change along with the enemy tweaks.

This sort of reasoning is the why we get these chickenshit "balance" changes. People who DO NOT PLAY GOLD making conjectures about the meta.

Go queue for Gold, see for yourself. Or don't bother, I'll break it down for you, seeing as how I got nothing else to do (I sure am not going to fire up the game). This is how it goes:

60% Vanquisher
30% Melee
1% Hurricane/Piranha
9% Other (read: dead weight carry me plx)

100% Outlaw

What people were clamoring for was not EZ MODE LEL for Gold, so stow it. It was simply for more tools to be made viable. Not release N7 Destroyer-Typhoon X-AP IV viable, but simply playable, to expand the options players have.

If they wanted a playerbase with thousands of accumulated hours of experience in horde mode Mass Effect to struggle re-learning the game, they should have done more than just slap a shiny paintjob on the gameplay, change a bunch of values in a spreadsheet and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. This artificially limiting ability by blunting the tools we have available is lame as fuck and does not make Gold hard, it makes it tedious.

Are you suggesting there actually were Mattock users before the patch? 

I'm not trying to sound like a whiny ass, but fuck me, how in the hell do they not touch the powers? A tech combo should do more than strip 75% of shields of a mook on lolsilver (and shit, I'm probably greatly exaggerating that amount of damage). Tech and biotic are what should separate this game from other MP shooter types. Believe me, I understand other peoples disgust with the weapon FUBAR we got right now, but jeez, fix the damn powers. That should be rule #1 in Mass Effect because most of the whole damn series focused on power use. 

So you want to get rid of the vanquisher and give people 20 weapons that can kick the shit out of gold.  At the start of a new game there will ALWAYS be vanquisher, melee, outlaws, just like fire base white geth gold.

I've played exactly one gold game so far after a whopping couple of weeks of play.  I have some low level weapons and a few higher ones that are at level 1.

Th 1st two weeks of me3mp were there tons of weapons available and fun to use on gold?  It's very early on in this game and people seem to be acting like they are stepping from full manifest and 100% game knowledge and two years of balancing of mea and into a new version of it.

"To reduce the effectiveness of repeated melees against tougher enemies, player melee attacks can now be interrupted by enemy attacks."

Just got back from playing melee Vanguard, and while it's still as good at times, you now get fucked bigtime when a melee gets interrupted. Fuck you BioWare, I hope some of you read this, why the hell couldn't you just start making guns more viable instead. -.-

Same, but Alt-Enter fixed it.
