The Mass Effect 3 thread

[Mike Hoxbig]

Please do! Right now we're battling to complete any decent challenges because the 'drop in' squadmates ragequit the minute they die. So we end up being just the two of us and getting slaughtered!

Death by geth =

On a side note; Tali Vas Normandy's voice. Still totally sexy!

Haha what about that knob who had his kids screaming and crying near his mic during the entire game? He even gave the kid a wave to play and the kid ended up dying!

But yeah it's great fun, I still think the two of us can clear a Bronze challenge on our own cos I did it before with some random It's on Silver when you really need a full squad of 4. You jamming tonight?

I got so annoyed by people dropping out of matches this weekend. Especially annoying when some noob runs out into a group of enemies, dies, and then rage quits. And that's on bronze, I haven't been brave enough to try silver with a group of randoms.

Silver isn't so bad if you have a high level character and some semi-competent squadmates.

Guys perhaps we should create a non-hard-scheduled roster? Hopefully there is a common time where we could get a round or 2 in....

On a sidenote, I cannot tell you how peeved I was last night after 3 matches in a row we got to wave 10 on silver, and then the host dies and quits. One other normally took that as a sign to leave as well, leaving me and a teamie to try and finish.

Ja that's the difficult thing hey, getting the guys and girls together. I should be available most nights 6-7 and then again 9-10 but I thought at least if I can see you guys on my origin I can jump in if you're busy playing.

Guys how big is the jump from bronze to silver? I only played bronze yesterday as it was my first taste but by last night I was craving something a little bit more difficult.

Done a few silvers, really depends on your enemies, the reapers are damn hard. Those Banshees are mean. Also those data download waves where you have to stay in a certain area... if you get one of those late in the round you stuffed. Cerberus is probably the easiest to take out.

Level up on bronze untill you have at least one power maxed out. Add me on Origin(GreyBush_ZA) , I'm on almost the exact same times daily.

 

[EnchanterG]

Agreed, reapers are tough, I personally prefer Geth, they just seem more fun to shoot?

I'll be on I'm sure maybe we'll get a Silver under our belt.

I think I'm level 18 or 19 now, basically all my powers are 1 upgrade from maxed out, or something like that. Think I'm just going to try silver anyway, like I said, feels like I need a new challenge. Looking forward to having a game later.

Edit: Just needed to add something, banshees really suck.

Aaah you must max them out, you get special bonuses on maxed out perks.

Will do! Dooby I think I have you added already, but will confirm!

As for the silver, what changes are the number of enemies in a wave (especially the number of Armoured/barrier in the later rounds), the damage they give out and their hitpoints go up. It sounds overwhelming and as dooby mentioned, getting a hack late in a game - especially reapers - is REALLY tough, but it's manageable.

I currently have a level 20 Drell Adept. Spam the cluster nades and be sure of many kills
I now have an Asari Infiltrator (I think) who rules at biotic detonations! When not playing as her (but another biotic) I watch for people sending one biotic power and then I send the followup for the detonation. That works well for the armoured/barrier opponents.

Hey guys.
Am I the only one having difficulty getting a connection to Origin ? (more specifically: the mass effect 3 server is offline)
Could it be this B660 router I'm using?
Normal browsing and downloads work as they should.

That's a bit strange, origin seems to be working fine now.

PhreeMe sorry bout earlier mate, was having a lekker game with you and then my 8ta decided it had enough. Even worse than that was playing a game on silver just before we played, got to the last wave and my 8ta went. That was just a little bit heartbreaking.

Busy with a 39mb origin update. Hope that sorts me out.

Lol, np bud. Thanks to you, Dooby, Poffle and his friend for the games last night. Slowly started building up steam
Had a blast!

 

[poffle]

Yeah, it was a pity much my internet sucked and lagged to no end

Hehe, those reapers were jumping on me, I got the message to hit F, but there were no enemies around me

Has anyone else got the Turian soldier? If you mainly use marksman, what weapon does well there?? I found the Sub machinegun becomes a beast but is there a name of a specific weapon that 'fits' better than the rest?

I'll be game. Nice way to chill out.

I would guess something with high damage, since the power increases the rate of fire and accuracy. Probably something like the M99-Saber if you can get it.

I prefer heavy pistols though. With my trusty old Carnifex pistol I do more damage than guys with their sniper and assault rifles

I had issues connecting to the EA ME3 servers over the weekend. Simply told me server was not available while my m8's were playing. More of an ISP issue i think ( i am with Iburst and they are having some issues lately ).

Was fine last night and hopefully again tomorrow. Will try a silver challenge tonight since bronze has become to easy now.

Thanks for that bud. I LURV the Carnifex... just haven't unlocked it in the full game Haven't seen the Sabre either

With your love of Heavy Pistols, have you seen that plasma one (forget the name) but it charges up to fire a heavy damage bolt? Can't decide whether I love or hate it.... When I unlock a new weapon I create a private bronze game and see how far I can solo it with said weapon. That pistol didn't agree too well with me, but (if I recall correctly) the charged shot does more damage than the Carnifex with a higher RoF and capacity...

In the demo Silver scared me a little, but now it's all I really play unless leveling a new character. I'm not brave enough to try a low HP, 1 powered character in silver just yet

Silver is a nice challenge. I find if I do play Bronze, I'm far too cocky for my own good
