[QUOTE=Jackald;35460879]Nope. Liara found the crucible files very close to Earth's invasion. Without Arrival the crucible plans would never have been found.[/QUOTE]
I think we can all agree the game would have been much better if Liara hadn't found the blueprints for the macguffin, which then led to starkid shennanigans.

Heh.
When you miss with an engineer ability in ME1 it throws down these weird grenade things. I just noticed this, though.

Started playing ME2. Thought the game wasn't fast or furious enough.

Confirmed for NOT 4chan's reaction. In this matter at least they have some taste, they hate "ragefaces".
Why is everyone assuming we'll have to get the characters out of packs? I mean, it's possible we will, but it's just as likely that they'll just give them to us when we buy the DLC, right? I just don't see why everyone is in such a hurry to build up money when we don't even know what's gonna happen with the characters/weapons.
read the announcement
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35460846]That's what I'm saying. What's the point of that plot? You get thrown in jail for the duration you stalled them. Also, why would Shepard destroy an entire star system for an extra six months? Like, holy shit, that's quite the sacrifice just for a little tiny bit of extra time. He pisses it all away, anyways, so basically all of those Batarians died for nothing.[/QUOTE]
The alpha relay was like the citadel in that it connected to multiple / most other relays. That would mean the reapers could have entered every system simultaneously and fucked everyone up at the same time. With the alpha relay destroyed, the reapers had to go from one system to the other, that allowed the word to be spread about the invasion. This would have also enabled evacuations from colonies that hadn't been hit yet, regrouping, planned defences for planets that were yet to be invaded etc which is what we see in me3.
the dlc's free so i dont really see why they'd just give us everything immediately
We never saw the fate of the earth, and or had a Shepard Statue right in the middle of a rebuilt London.
Depending on if she/he survived.
and anyway getting 1.2 million credits will just kind of make me feel good since i'd be achieving a goal i set for myself
Also, people saying about thanix cannons being able to take out a reaper - just because it's reaper tech doesn't mean it will easily get through reaper shields. Sovereigns shields were so strong that they repelled an entire armada's fire-power and ploughed straight through a turian cruiser / dreadnought. He was only destroyed because sheperd brought down his shields by killing huskified saren.

And during the Fleet Battle in ME3 we saw a Reaper being blown apart/losing one or multiple of it's tentacles. So their shields aren't impenetrable.
codex says that a reaper can be destroyed with concentrated fire from 3-4 dreadnoughts
Oh god, I bet Krogan Vanguard will be more OP than the human one.
I love it.

Except in 3 they take the citadel and they don't do anything with it. Most Mass Relays link to each other anyways, so like I said, it just stalled, and nothing got done. Very few people were evacuating before the Reapers showed up, and clearly at the end of that six months they were able to easily plow through everything and go straight to earth. Also people getting evacuated and then being refugees on the citadel didn't mean shit since Bioware confirmed they all got killed.
Like, literally the only things Arrival did for the plot of the game was allow Liara to find the Macguffin and give Bioware an excuse to start out in space jail, because apparently they really liked that plot idea.

I had a comparable reaction when this happend to me.
Maybe I'd like MP more if I could get better weapons instead of getting Incisors and SMGs I would never use.

Getting six months of time in which Hackett mobilises the fleets is not "nothing". Also, not every relay can connect to every other relay, why do you think you need to go around the place you want to go? There are 2 types of relays, primary relays which connect to each other and nearby secondary relays and the secondary relays which only connect to nearby relays.
The Alpha relay was a primary relay, if the Reapers had access to it they could go pretty much anywhere, without it they had to fly through space until they hit a secondary relay and work their way out from there.

I hate saving up until I can afford a spectre crate and then be all "Oh, another shotgun? But I don't even use shotguns. Thanks, I guess."
I have 6 shotguns, 5 of them are level V or higher. I only have 2 pistols.
Will we still have the premium spectre pack when the DLC is released?

But... That means that the Relays do all link together. If you found a secondary relay that could take you to a main relay, and then you could go to main relays from there, etc etc
Also mobilizing the fleets actually was 'nothing' because the ending has nothing to do with fleets or bullshit like that. Literally all you needed was enough of a fleet to let you get past the Reapers.
Sure, if the ending was different all of that would matter, but it's rendered completely inconsequential by the last 15-20 minutes of the game.

That's not what you said. You said it didn't matter because we had the Crucible, which we wouldn't have had if the Reapers didn't spend 6 months travelling to the nearest relay.

I'm saying the game would have been better if Arrival had never happened. Arrival happening was mostly irrelevant, the only thing it accomplished was Liara getting the space magic blueprints. Everything else that happened as a result of it is rendered meaningless by the shitty ending.
I was pretty sour before this crate. The last 7 or so premium spectre boxes were all character cards. It feels shitty being N7 200 and still using Avenger and Predator Xs
