I searched the database and couldn't find anything - has anyone ever asked for a buff to the damage bonus from ammo? It needs to be worse than the rail amps, though. Also disruptor ammo of any tier is mad OP vs synths and shields. Yeah, I figure it's probably intentional, just curious whether anyone had asked yet. The priming is still really useful, but the damage numbers are tiny, even for level IV ammo.

You can usually get a copy for around six bucks on places like cdkeys, I got my boss a key for the whole trilogy for around 6.50 that way a few weeks ago. Any point getting anything other than the basic ME3? Also, got your boss? Well, it was about $6 for ME3 vs $6.50 for the trilogy, so I figured I'd just get the trilogy. He'd already been playing a burned copy a friend gave him but I wanted him to have access to the DLC and MP. If you're moving from console to PC I think it's also worth paying an extra dollar or so for the whole trilogy because on PC you can replay all the games with texture packs and other mods. Edit: If anyone was curious, he mains a shotgun vanguard in the SP. In the last two weeks he bought all the DLC except for Citadel, but I think he's gonna get that too.

Not sure if he's on here but I ran into jtoxification from reddit. Host was some guy named biala_kawa or something. I've played with him before, his host is terrible but he makes up for it by using super cheeseball setups, with the added bonus of getting hilariously grumpy over any criticism of his hosting. J-man ditched the lobby afterwards before I could even say bye, not that I blame him.

I mentioned this in the reddit thread as well but to me it makes sense people only value ammo for priming purposes vs the extra damage, given how minimal the damage boosts are. People would care a lot more if ammo could boost damage by 50% or 60% like in ME3MP, vs the current max of 10% for level 4 ammo.

They haven't even done anything yet about credit hacking or modded public lobbies, so I doubt they'd worry much about people taking fancy screenshots.

For anyone who's been saving up to buy the alternate weapon mods, all three are in the store right now too. Are any of the rare or uncommon ones any good? The common ones aren't remotely worth the cost, IMO, with the very notable exception of the scopeless pistol accuracy mod. Besides the scopeless pistol mod, there's also a scopeless AR accuracy mod that's common, plus some of the various mods that have extra weight as a negative seem ok. I probably wouldn't use most of the rest except in a few specific use cases. For example, the ones that reduce clip size would have no effective down side on one shot guns. In my case, I figure that since I don't have anything else to spend extra MF on, I may as well buy all the mods.

Speaking of getting stuck places, here's a screenshot of snowleopard25 hanging out in the wall on Zero the other day. On an unrelated note, this text flow is really bugging me. (Red boxes added to highlight issue.)

I forget where I posted this before but here is as good a place as any. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. NOT SCIENTIFIC. (Because this is based on self-reported data and people with uninteresting results won't bother to self report.) 1 UR | 105 | 62% | 2 URs | 50 | 29% | 3 URs | 12 | 7% | 4 URs | 3 | 2% | Grand Total | 170 |
Basically I pored over a bunch of threads here and on reddit the last time this topic came up and noted down how many URs people claimed to have received from the Apex Elite Packs. I suspect the *actual* chance for > 1 UR is much lower than what you see in the table above (38%) -- because people who get > 1 UR will be exited and will post about it, while people who only get 1 UR won't bother to post and thus their data won't be captured. More results in this reddit thread if you're interested: www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/6trwho/apex_elite_pack_is_back_in_the_store_but_no/

I have two of the free Apex Elite Packs in my unclaimed rewards, but that is now they normally work - no disconn necessary. crashsuit Did you get any UR (rank IV) consumables? Curious how the RNG reacts when it tries to guarantee a UR but there are no chars/weapons left. On a related note Andromeda Points are 33% off in the Xbox store. (So, I guess this is an experiment and/or PC and PS4 will get a sale later?) This is literally, exactly something Bioware asked about in that email survey a few weeks ago... good to see they are experimenting with different pricing models! inb4 this is interpreted as proof that the game is dying and not being supportedRevive Pack, Universal Power Amp I, Cyclonic Mod III, Power Efficiency Mod IV, Disruptor Ammo II. I've got 2 Apex packs in my unclaimed rewards as well, but I've also bought all the ones previously available for sale. I was hoping I'd get to stockpile this one too, but at least now I can say I've got the world's most expensive Revive Pack.

I'm not sure if they're a BSNer but I think I remember GrouchyBlackMan being somebody of note on XBox? I bumped into them in a pug lobby but had to ditch. The host was somebody named "i am cheddaboy", I kept dropping in on them and leaving because they kept ninja switching to platinum and that just wasn't gonna happen for me with my non-existent console skills.

I don't have any URs to unlock right now, but I wasn't sure how long this pack would stay in the store, so I tried buying it and disconnecting my network cable so that it would end up in my unclaimed rewards. My timing was off so I wound up with some very expensive consumables. I do have some Premium, Advanced, and Jumbo packs in my unclaimed rewards due to lost connections while buying packs, though. Not sure why I'm mentioning all this but there you go.

I've been getting weird glitches were you get Wave 3 and Wave 6 objectives occur either; in different rounds, or have the prompt occur twice in the same round. Now there's a cool idea. A special objective wave where the team has to complete two objectives at once.

snowleopard25 and I wound up grinding out bronze Zero waves together for the dailies. He got stuck in a wall near the back on an early wave, so when extraction came up I stayed back there with him to keep him company.
