Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Anybody else having trouble getting on? After three tries, I can't even get to my character selection screen in multiplayer, it keeps telling me the connection to the servers is lost.
Edit: Nope, not even after a reboot. Not going to be doing that, then. Good job EA, good freakin' job.Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-08-25 at 02:20 PM.

How to get to wave 10 on Platinum:
-Get a team of one Asari Justicar Adept, one Fury, two Slayers with Biotic Slash
-Go to Fire Base Glacier
-Hold up in that little room towards the center

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Let me just make sure I fully understand, so I could try it.
-Justicar is specced to give the best bubble they can as far as defense. Or is it to place the warp effect?
-Fury plays the role of Sparky-Sparky boom man setting up explosions with dark channel and Annihilation field.
-Biotic Slash is the trigger. Wouldn't shockwave work?
Or am I missing it?My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Thread, The Game, The Tumblr.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
I'm not entirely sure to be honest. The bubble seemed to have the warp effect (I saw it set off an explosion when it was deployed, once). The Fury was definitely setting up and setting off combos. Biotic Slash was indeed the trigger, and Shockwave would certainly work quite well for that purpose. However, in my experience, Shockwave doesn't have the raw power or the range of Biotic Slash.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
That's not just your experience, that's objective fact. Biotic Slash does extremely high damage - almost as much as Homing Grenade does without its armor damage boost, if the player took all of Biotic Slash's damage boosts - and has a longer range than Shockwave by 5 meters. The only thing Shockwave has on Biotic Slash is that its startup animation is quite a bit faster. Other than that, Biotic Slash is just plain a better version of Shockwave.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
You can give it a go, now. I was able to grind some levels for Braz and promote her two classes. You know, the two best ones. Poor Braz...
This really requires a well coordinated or at least very adaptable grou. Relying on any one gimmick is a sure cause of disaster.
A warp bubble at the opening, with other classes dropping shockwave/biotic slash/shockwave into it constantly will detonate anything that gets in there. Using two Justicar and placing the bubbles in separate areas so you have two detonation fields. Or combining two groups of Phoenix guys and human adepts. Two shock wave/smash combos being laid down constantly for enemies to walk into.
I've... Also seen kids screaming bloody murder "STICK TO THE PLAN STICK TO THE PLAN OH GOD" while banshees flooded te room and no one ha any way to stop them. So be careful.
Note that shockwave has 15% more damage and force on biotic explosions. Which means a combination of lift and shockwave has the best output, at an additional 140%.
As is, I've been trying to get a group together with reave, warp and dark channel at the same time who also have the coordination to use them together.
Pfffff.
I don't... I can't think of anything even remotely counter to this actually XDLast edited by SiuiS; 2012-08-26 at 04:14 AM.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Well, it was clear to me that these guys had done this before. The Justicar kept putting bubbles at the intersection just outside the room while the Fury and the Slayer melted anything that came close. Enemies only started coming into the room around wave 7, and that's where my Destroyer stepped in. I had a Reegar with Warp ammo and the armor piercing mod, and when that didn't work I fired a rocket at the floor. I only had to do that 3 times over the course of the match. The rest of the time, the enemies were so weak when they got there that one melee attack was all it took to finish them. I killed three banshees just by stomping the floor really hard. The Fury and the Slayer weren't even at level 20. They were both at level 17.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Nope. Not having it.
A check of the Bioware forums shows SIX THREADS in the PC technical problems on this issue, as well as several with problems with Origin. And no-one at EA or Bioware has done anything about it or appear even to have acknowledged there is a problem.
There is a possible workaround posted in that it was suggested you try "Join Friend" in friends menu, which preportedly skips you past the loading screen where it's hanging and either drops you into their game or into the lobby.
(Can't try that myself, since currently only Dhavaer is online and he's not currently in game.)
But maybe some of you other chaps who are having problems might be able to try it.
I'm guessing, since I have no connection problems others, until I apparently enter MP, that it's an authenticication/server issue with Origin, which updated not far off the same time ago. Cracking job EA, cracking job. 'Cos if'n you don't get it fixed, considering people are having trouble with their DLC as well, no-one is going to buy *four-asterisking keyboard ran out of batteries, why did I bother getting out of the crypt this morning* Leviathan, since no bugger will be able to play it.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Brutal. I hadn't considered the ramifications of warp-AP-reegar with Devastator mode on. I wonder, does the smart choke extend the beam at all?
I've not had much luck with the reegar in general. I do as much, if not more, damage with my piranha, and at longer ranges. Perhaps they just had a bad spec out when I compared....
Interesting. So it is specifically a pc platform issue.
Is it petty that my second concern after "oh, he's not gonna get his pack" is "oh, I might not get my victory pack"? Maybe not petty, exactly , but it sounded very Stewy Griffon in my head.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
I've never tried putting the smart choke on the Reegar, so I'll have to get back to you on that.
I don't have a Piranha yet, so I make do with the Reegar. It consistently outperforms most of my other shotguns probably because I can simply hold the trigger while firing from the hip, which makes running and gunning much easier.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Did I ever tell you that I HATE BANSHEES
I remember taking my female Shepard to the mo... place where you meet the banshees, and thinking "what the hell are these" the whole time. Then came the big wave with 2 of them, andd I tried to heavy melee one. Instead, she was lifted off the ground, I thought "Uhh, that's not a heavy melee" and started mashing B...
Squelch
The only good encounter I ever had with a banshee was during the Thanix missile scene, where I got picked up by a banshee, said "aw, crap", and the banshee took a Reaper laser to the face, saving my life by a half second and six inches.LPs that I like to think I will get back to some day.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
...OK, Now I'm assuming you mean that cubbyhole in the back of that first one, because that is the smallest room of all the maps. (The one with the two doors, one leading out to the back interior stairs, the other leading to the first room I mentioned). The first one was easily one of the largest interior rooms on any map, only surpassed by that courtyard thing on Goddess and the control room on Giant.
EDIT: To remove any doubt, it's one of the rooms that baddies spawn in on that map, right?

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
Well, someone on the Bioware forums said they'd had some look getting on after disabling the Cloud Storage for ME3 in Origin (I didn't even know it was on - apparently it was in the last update...)
I managed to get on and promote two characters, but have the sneaking suspicion that I'm probably too late, because it didn't occur to me to check the time until after I clicked it. (It still kicked me out once then, while I was trying to get a new Krogan Vanguard ready.)
*sigh*
I'm beginning to wonder why I bother. Even if I get something decent out of what my victory pack is ('cos I ain't getting a commendation pack, am I), I'm no longer certain if I will be able to actually play any games long enough to actually make use of it. Hell, even the possibility of using the excuse to re-level my Krogan Battlemaster (which is the class I've had the most fun with by a LOOOONG margin) suddenly looks unappealing if I'm just going to keep get booted out because EA's Origin is a big pile of suck. (Because I'll bet souls to sabres it's an Origin authenticiation issue, not a server load one.)

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
I suppose so. The best way I can describe it is as "That room that looks like a control room.
We were crowded in really tight, so were the baddies. There were so many biotic explosions going off that my screen went psychedelic for about three seconds, as though it was going into a techno seizure.

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
... Okay, I'm going to make it simple for me, because I've got to be missing something and I'm still not sure where the room you're talking about is. 1. Once you spawn at the LZ, do you turn left or right to get to the room you're talking about? 2. Is there a thing of cover smack-dab in the middle of the room, perhaps with a holoscreen on it? 3. Exactly how many outlets does this room have?

Re: Mass Effect 3.6: Are you engaging in reproductive behavior with this thread?
From the wiki:
■There is a room near the centre of the map with only one way in and out. A shrewd team can use this to their advantage, luring them into an extremely deadly cross-fire. Reegar Carbines, Typhoons, and Piranhas are more than capable of killing almost any foe at unprecedented speeds, even on Platinum difficulty. The only enemy that might cause problems are Banshees since they can teleport into the room, and unleash their Nova attack which can strip the entire teams shields in a heartbeat. On Gold difficulty however, so long as you arent engaging Reapers, you should have absolutely no trouble disposing of any kind of enemy that comes through the entrance.Awesome avatar by Kurien.
