Lost connection during a platinum Apex mission, loaded back into MP, looked at the Apex missions again, and it was... in progress?

So what you're actually saying is "I'm like first of all, castoreum isn't a thing - never has been, never will be thing. Castoreum is not a thing"? Jesus fuck, squaredgonzo , it's airborne! Crashsuit is squaredgonzo? :D8: Dude... who else has multiple accounts on here? I still play ME3MP on an alt account once in a while, but my alt forum accounts died with the old BSN.

Castoreum isn't really in any flavorings these days, it's mostly used in perfumes and other scents. Only a couple hundred pounds of it are produced annually vs millions of pounds of other vanilla flavorings. www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/castoreum.asp

I keep forgetting that some of that stuff survived. I've got the Crusader fix too. No clue where some of the other fixes went though, like Warp/Incinerate, FPS/shield regen, etc., I was never successful in tracking down copies of those when the old BSN was still up.

I did? Hmm. My memory's not great so I could've but I don't remember that. I do remember there being an issue with the sfar file being different for people who were on version 1.6 instead of 1.5, and also I think there's some kind of variable in coalesced.bin that controls how often polling is done for position matching between host and client, or something like that. Well do u happen to have a link for the adjusted coalesced.bin? I don't have the fix applied to my own coalesced.bin, I could never get it to improve anything no matter how I adjusted it, though other people have said it's helped them. There's also no one magic value to change it to, it can depend on your FPS, you may need to play around with it a little. The variable to edit is MOVEREP_DELAY_FRAME, here's an archive of the old BSN thread talking about it and describing how it works. isitaboutmycube.com/shelter/resourcelibraries/topic/478226-pc-how-to-eliminatereduce-rubber-banding-when-playing-off-host-under-poor-network-conditions/index.html

How did you 'put it back' and where can I see this? I recall crashsuit posting a link to something improving "netcode" for ME3mp, is it named; Patch_001.sfar I did? Hmm.

No complaints about CE, but If there was a way I could shorten things down to a single day, I'd be all over it. I gave up on actually maxing even by nefarious means. I got the three or four weapons I actually use to Siphon X, that's good enough. It is so fucking tedious having to open 20, 40, 60 mil worth of packs at a time and not be maxed. I think I've done about 150 mil since 1.09 dropped and still have about half of the UR variants at rank 5 or below. Macros.

Yeah I found it funny that the Frosty Editor devs are worried that people might do something with their tool that people can already easily do with CE. No complaints about CE, but If there was a way I could shorten things down to a single day, I'd be all over it.

How much are we talking here? Standard payouts? You know the one I mean. 3 second Platinums. Ah ok thanks, just checking in case you meant something more like this: take advantage of the tools and create a way to max out your manifest in a single day

Wow, after seeing the twitter convo I'm even more pissed off. It's very easy to find already, but it almost makes me want to just widely distribute the Cheat Engine script that can...encourage the game to pay out quite a lot of credits in a very short time. How much are we talking here? Standard payouts?

It would be pretty weird to me if it's a random selection, but still somehow a thing that has to be manually pushed to the store each Thursday morning.

I feel like saying "netcode" isn't a thing in terms of game code is just an argument in semantics on his part, when it should be obvious that we use it as a general term for how good a job the game does (or doesn't do) in compensating for P2P connections, lag, packet poss, varying UL/DL speeds, etc., especially compared to other games.

Laggy. New level, Firebase Nimbus! Shameful lag-infested gameplay, got better in the end but that was too late. Retrying! See you there I absolutely love this map. It's huge and complicated and I don't know where any of the ammo boxes are...Left side middle elevation outside along wall, right side middle elevation outside along wall, upper elevation outside at the back wall, lower level at the back of the forward set of stairs. I think there are four, at least that's all I could find on my one playthrough. Edit: I found it really easy to get around, and easy to grab temporary cover for a couple seconds, but hard to find someplace that wasn't vulnerable from a million directions.

Drasca is active on the MP subreddit, maybe that's why he(?) seems familiar to people? Speaking of bumping into people though, Miaoven Winter and I ran into each other on one of the worst hosts I've ever played with. We actually made it extraction, somehow, and I ditched as soon as we were back in the lobby - nothing personal though, I just noticed that the host migrated to me after the original host left, and I didn't want to have to host. I went looking for a second Paradox/Gold game and bumped into him again at the end of round 1 of a game in progress. I lost sound partway through wave 2 or 3 but otherwise the match went great, got extraction, got my double-challenge 60MF, and called it a night.

Not sure how the Apex pack relates to saving MF but it's true, since they introduced the MF-only mods, I've been buying the common weapon mods with MF and only saving enough at a time for whatever gear drops. I should have my common mods maxed before next Thursday, but then it'll take a while to get enough to buy enough of the uncommon and rare mods to max those out. As far as I know there's no way yet to get MF more quickly than anyone else. The reason for my first unopened Apex pack is because at the time (1.08) I had a maxed manifest. Now that I have more stuff to unlock in 1.09, I don't really have a good reason for leaving them unopened, I just like having packs in my rewards tab. I've also got 6 of the Super Deluxe packs stockpiled, and even an unopened Jumbo, somehow. I should be able to max my 1.09 manifest by some time next week so unless anyone really wants to start tracking Apex pack drop rates, I'll just keep saving up more and more stuff in my rewards tab, like some kind of crazy hoarder. You're quick. As soon as I remembered the Apex packs were bought with credits instead of MF, I deleted the post. Have you gotten any mods you like? The heavy ones don't seem too bad, since most of my kits have some extra weight capacity. TBH I haven't even read the specs for most of them, I was just after the scope-less accuracy mods, both of which I have to X. I'll probably end up using the heavy melee mods where applicable, I used the heavy mods pretty frequently in ME3MP as well. I'll have to take time later to read up on what the others do to see what the tradeoffs are but at the moment I'm not really familiar with most of them. crashsuit can you screenshot you tab showing multiple Apex Elite Packs in your queue? Billy wasn't sure that was possible. Read em and leak salt water. In case anyone doesn't notice, it says "2 remaining" near the description on the right.

How is this possible? Only 4 have been available or did I lose count? Apparently, crashsuit isn't waiting until he hits 10,000 MF to spend them.

We should start tracking these in the drop rate thread. I've opened three so far and each had a single UR, and I have two more in my rewards that I'm sitting on. How is this possible? Only 4 have been available or did I lose count? How is this possible? Only 4 have been available or did I lose count? First time they gave us an APEX it was reward only. These next two times were both reward and purchaseable. Yeah, the first was as a reward (Play To Give weekend or something? can't remember), then during the last repeat of Deeper Into The Ruins there was one as a reward and another purchasable, and now we've got one again as a reward for the same Apex mission as before and another purchasable, so 5 total. I know they're not really worth it vs 6 of the 100k packs, but I'm not really worried about the credits and I wanted to see what kind of drops I'd get from them. (Not good so far.)

Is there a spot in that video where it looks like he has more range than normal? There's no increasing range stat in the game files. It's fixed at "50m" range. Didn't watch it myself but your answer sounds good enough for me.

Yeah I think we are range capped even on the standard hitscan guns. Some of the others have pretty pitiful range, especially the beam and some projectile. I have been using the Dhan a lot in my NG+ game, but the projectile flat out disappears before something like 20m, but I am a vanguard so no big deal. The Equalizer in MP is also capped at like 20m. Of course the accuracy makes it useless past that point anyway. I promised I searched first, so I hope this hasn't already been answered, but for Equalizer (and I guess other limited-range weapons) does the range scale at all with rank? There are a couple comments in this thread on reddit that make me wonder if it's fixed range or rank-dependent: www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/6ogb6z/my_salarian_architect_randomrandom_gold_solo_no/

Are we tracking Apex packs at all? Out of the five(?) available so far through the store and mission rewards, I've opened three and have two more unopened in my rewards. The ones I've opened each had a single UR and I think one rare. No photo evidence though, sorry.
