Mass Effect Megathread: He said "I should go." Do I sound like that? - Games

[QUOTE=Ruh-roh;52019351]wouldnt tactical cloak be good for vanguards too? the bonuses for melee are pretty juicy and you can insta get out of risk by cloaking after jumping in and just circling the dude to hit him again[/QUOTE] A good point. I roll incinerate/charge/nova. Incinerate and charge make a nice combination attack, and nova's got some nice crowd control going. Will have to try the cloak, though.

i'm not going to buy this for a[I] long time[/I], someone spoiler tag the main plot for me in brief please.

[QUOTE=SekritJay;52019228]I'd go to Google, if you get it wrong a bunch of robots spawn and that's just a waste of time[/QUOTE] Except Google doesn't give me a solver for that configuration, even searching for irregular shit doesn't give me what I want.

It always felt to me like they could keep things mysterious, like Saren's betrayal or who the Collectors are, but chose not to. In this one, after the first mission, you still don't really know what's going on, but in a good way.[/sp] Is it great? No. But personally I think it capitalizes on something the previous plots didn't use as much, that being a greater sense of mystery, and I appreciate that.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52019545]Except Google doesn't give me a solver for that configuration, even searching for irregular shit doesn't give me what I want.[/QUOTE] You probably could have solved it in the time you've spent searching for the solution.

or solved it instantly using a remnant key its even easier to skip the minigame than previous games because they are way less common and you dont use remnant keys for anything else so there is no reason to hoard them

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;52019593]You probably could have solved it in the time you've spent searching for the solution.[/QUOTE] Already solved that one, however I'm another one and I can't solve it and Googling for help on this shape pattern still doesn't give me what I want. Also on the one I'm on, I can't use a key to skip, it's not something I need, it's a Crate, but I want what's inside the Crate as I'm not skipping over it.

How do you manage to get stuck on a friggin sudoku puzzle lol

Because I find them to be piss boring and I don't have any interest in solving them.

[QUOTE=DeEz;52019671]How do you manage to get stuck on a friggin sudoku puzzle lol[/QUOTE] Some people find them uninteresting in a video game?

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY LIFTED THE DA: INQUISITION'S TIMED ASSIGNMENTS SHIT FOR THIS GAME AS WELL?! LIKE, WASN'T THE "FEATURE" HATED BY EVERYONE AND DIDN'T IT BASICALLY FORCE PEOPLE TO MOD OUT THE WAITING TIMES?! (Before someone points out to me that you can clear the majority of said assignments in multiplayer, I usually begin each Andromeda's session by doing two mp quick matches, then I go to single player, and would really hate to interrupt the main flow to do more matches)

The rewards are pretty shit. Or just use the app.

You don't even need to use the game.

Has anyone had an infinite loading screen when trying to leave Kadara? This entire planet has just been one buggy mess for me. I've tried reloading from previous saves and have tried setting origin on offline mode which some people has claimed it helps them for getting stuck on loading screens. Even ran the repair program on origin but still just stuck on the loading screen trying to leave Kadara.

[QUOTE=Chains!;52019960]Use the app. Takes 3 seconds to send out your teams. You don't even need to use the game.[/QUOTE] Plus, you can continue to play that app if you return the game like I did.

One of my strike teams was able to complete several gold missions in a row with a 5% chance for success, now they consistently fail to complete missions at 90+%

[QUOTE=Del91;52020385]One of my strike teams was able to complete several gold missions in a row with a 5% chance for success, now they consistently fail to complete missions at 90+%[/QUOTE] check the traits there's a negative one that makes it more prone to losing despite the good odds (and theres a positive one for the opposite too) but i don't pay much attention to the odds anyway, i just send teams. they always get xp at least even when they fail, no big deal.

This is also assuming the app will let me do anything. Logging out and logging back in seems to help though. That sqaud does have a negative trait, but they're also my highest leveled squad.

On the space sudoku, I found them really boring and irritating until I started to turn the dumb symbols into numbers and doing it on paper before. Never really tried sudoku before, but I'm having some genuine fun taking a few minutes break from the game to do that shit on paper.

Is there a place to check out the multiplayer weapon/skills stats? I want to try to build my mp characters efficiently. Also, are they going to do those special n7 events where you get free n7 weapons for completing their challenges?

We got an ME:A MP discord?

[QUOTE=Hatley;52020538]We got an ME:A MP discord?[/QUOTE] I asked if we had a discord the other day and got no reply so I made this [url]https://discord.gg/ETPDtgQ[/url] But barely anyone uses it.

I really can't tell if whoever thought of the new galaxy map system were really hoping the players would had found it "cool" and/or "immersive" or were just trying to pad out the game considerably for reasons I can't quite fathom at the moment

So I just did The World is Waiting. I haven't [sp]tracked down the Archon yet[/sp] and there was some minor spoilers in that for the stuff I haven't done. This has happened before When I got Eos to 100% viability before leaving, on Veold where I set up a settlement before doing the vault, and on Elaaden where I got 100% viability and set up a settlement without doing the vault. The developers apparently expected players to railroad themselves along the main story, which is odd considering most RPGs end when you finish the main story, so doing the side shit first is ingrained in long time RPG players.

There's literally no reason to pad a 100+ hour game with a grand total of 15 minutes of planet hopping. [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Hatley;52018904]How about Prodromos? [sp]I made it a military outpost. It's a planet of everything trying to kill you, so I figured trying to lock that shit down and getting dug in would be a good call.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Science.[/sp] You're making a mark on Andromeda, your [sp]first successful outpost. Set up with the guiding hand of the Pathfinder. Everything the initiative stands for is gonna be showcased to the Angara (and anybody else who may crop up).[/sp] It just felt like the least aggressive thing to do. Plus, [sp]there's still big ass cannons around the outpost and plenty of dudes with guns. I felt like it'd have a better LASTING impact on relations with natives if they saw "hey, these dudes are here for exploration and learning". Of course, this is all headcanon-tier shit, since I'm doubtful anybody but the rioters bring it up.[/sp] But, still. Satisfied me deeply. [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Hatley;52019317]I fucking hate Observers.[/QUOTE] Observe yourself picking up the Overload skill, my man.

The overload skill is so useful against pretty much everyone with a shield. Overload + Pull + Throw is an excellent combo

I'm only 7 hours in but this game is pretty good so far with the exception of one glaring omission. A yellow paint job for the Nomad. All I wanted was to drive about in Mike's new car. [T]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/0/09/Mike's_New_Car.jpg[/T] [SP]Sorry if this has already been posted, I've not been reading this thread to avoid spoilers[/SP]

So, now I know how best to kill Observers as Ryder. Any tips for taking them out as a Krogan Vanguard?
