Mass Effect Thread #61

Link to previous thread http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1358099-mass-effect-thread-60/.

As we continue the Mass Effect series discussion, I have decided to add to the main post of this thread anyones Gamertag / PSN name / Origin Name (If they wish it) for an easy directory for the ME3 multiplayer.

Profile name from here followed by onling name:
XBL
Spoiler

born2beagator - born2beagator
Legend1221 - Legend1221
ol MISAKA lo - ol MISAKA lo
Riverstyx - Fireblade197
Undead Fiend - An Undead Lord
PSN

Origin

Emz - EmiW
SimpsonFly - SimpsonFly

Please keep in mind that this is to be a civil discussion about the Mass effect series, not a crucifixion of Bioware's development team.

With spoilers very much rampant make sure to put them in a spoiler to not ruin the game for people. The spoiler tags can be used like so [spoiler r] and the matching tag would be [ / spoiler] with no spaces and removing the extra r in the first tag. Below is an example spoiler.

Thread Rules:
  • This is an ongoing topic for discussion about Mass Effect series, so keep the discussion on the games.
  • It is understandable if you don't like Mass Effect games. We have no problem with you sharing this, but this is an ongoing topic. As such, it is primarily based on the positive aspects of the games, so if you don't like them don't post.
  • This is an ongoing discussion and some people don't like Mass Effect games. If you try to provoke them it is just as bad. If you do disagree with someone, please don't drag it into a fight. This topic is primarily for what we like about the games and our ongoing experiences.
  • Respect forum rules. If you are unclear review them here.
  • Respect for other forum members is perhaps the most important. We all have opinions and we are all human beings. Treat each other with respect.

Please put the rules of discussion back up, we don't want to mislead anyone. Especially when I've seen the moderators have to ruffle a few feathers only a thread or two back.

Ok, how do I promote only ONE character? I heard you can highlight a character and promote only him/her.

I just promoted all of my Vanguards....I think. They all say "New" now.

Unfortunately, when you promote it's a package deal. You are promoting the class, not the character.

It'd be nice if, when you promoted a class, they got a star or something by the name. So that when you go into a game with a level 1 , people will have an idea that you know what you're doing, not just another slacker popping in with a brand new class.

(true, the total N7 level can give some indication of that, but still.... /shrug)

Eventually, you can take your MP characters and 'promote' them into Single Player War Assets. That resets the class, but adds War Assets to SP.

In multiplayer, when one of your classes reaches level 20, you are given the ability to "promote" them. This adds them to the single player "Galaxy at war" (whatever that means), adds 75 to your total war assets, and raises your rank by 10.

It'd be nice if, when you promoted a class, they got a star or something by the name. So that when you go into a game with a level 1 , people will have an idea that you know what you're doing, not just another slacker popping in with a brand new class.

I know what you mean. I've been kicked because they thought I was a noob....with a Mantis X and a rank of 135.

Edit: I apologize if you have posted your game contact info in previous threads, but it is rather difficult to go through all the threads that have been pushed out since multiplayer was even established. I will add to the list as people post them again - that way we have a solid list for people to copy / paste into subsequent new threads.

Galactic Readiness can only be raises through MP?

Multiplayer needs more game modes.

Thats what I hate about MP. Whenever I join a game and they see the sub level 10, everyone leaves.

Open a Veteran pack... yay! Rare card!

..oh, wait. It's "Respec a character's skills. Once." :facepalm:

What a crappy rare draw. Well, at least I didn't blow 60k credits on a Spectre pack for it.

I'm actually buying Spectre packs and I'm starting to regret it every time. I got a Widow out of my first one. Very nice, but each one since has had an experience card for a class I already have. It's starting to annoy me. I want a Scorpion or a Saber, dammit! :swear:

Curse you RNG gods, I hate you sometimes.

I'd like to know why this is even a rare hogging slot... I have 2 and I see little reason to even use them.

IF you don't talk to Thane at the beginning of the game, he doesn't save the Salarian councilor from Kai Leng and in turn you have to kill Kaidan/Ashely. Does anyone know what happens to him? Does he just disappear?

One spoiler, if you will indulge me:

Spoiler
Curing the Genophage, I'd really really like to prevent the cure from being spread and thus sabotage the thing. Is it possible? If I sabotage the cure how will Krogan war asset turn out? I'm trying to achieve the best possible ending but without the Krogan taking over the galaxy once the Reapers are down
