Mass Effect 3 - Starting character

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

I haven't gone back to the campaign since I'm kinda hooked on Mulit player now. I started a couple new characters and the weapons have started to get better... kinda. Phaeston AR has crappy damage, but the cyclic rate is sick but the muzzle climb drives me crazy. Scored a M79 Revenant (sp?) AR that has the same rate and damage as the Phaeston, but less climb..but weighs more. That keeps my recharge a bit slower than using the Phaeston.
Anyway, I noticed that they've upped the degree of difficulty on Silver. I haven't made it pass levl 10 on any stage with any group I've played with this week. Hell, even Bronze was harder. I had one game with Reapers and they threw 8 brutes and 4 banshee at us. WTH?? on Bronze!!
Silver is normally a rape. Banshee scare the crap out of me on Silver. You ever try to just run by one?
I've bought a couple Special Spectre packs and my last one unlocked the Krogan Sentinel and I got a Geth Plasma shotgun III.
You really shouldn't be able to play silver until you reach a certain level capable of withstanding what they send to you. Any weapon with a 1 or 2 isn't going to do anything but tickle.

Does anyone know about the level 10 Silver/Gold/Silver 45K credit glitch?

I have completed the solo campaign 4 times. I have every weapon at "X", every addon at "V", every suit and each piece of armor.

Not sure if I should try insanity as is, or go hard core. No roll backs to a save. Die, restart.

I think there is new Multi-player content today. New races, weapons, maps etc.

I did Insanity from the onset (achievement hound), and the if your weapons are already at X and V then you'll do fine. The biggest thing you need is patience. I'm tempted to go through again with my character in order to buy the other two Spectre weapons I didn't purchase. Once I bought that sniper rifle, that's all I pretty much used, although I carried a weapon in every slot as a Soldier... just in case.

I'll be so glad to be back home and play online again. This hotel internet and xbox blocking is kind of killing me.

Proof that they most def upped the settings for the weekend...
just knocked off 3 rounds in Silver with minor issues with a random team, where I could barely make it to round 5 (Period) this past weekend.
Got a Krogan unlocked and he already had crazy points to put towards powers. He's all but maxed out without playing a round. 4 empty slots is all that's left. Gonna give him a try today.

The release is in a couple of days. Got me thinking about something: What is everyone going to be playing as?


I have two characters I have started from the first Mass Effect and moved through into the 2nd Mass Effect. I got a male paragon soldier and a female renegade engineer. Of course, because I was anticipating running around the galaxy trying to unite various species against the reapers, I couldn't bring myself to killing off the Rachni queen. I figured I'd be trying to recruit the Rachni race to help fight off those crazy squid ships.

Just thought I'd say that my two playthroughs are exactly the same. Of course who didn't play as a soldier at some point?

Anyone else create a Wrex style Krogan Battlemaster when they released the new vanguard class character?

I still have a file that is a renegade engineer, but I can't access it until I get back home in May. I COULD start a whole new game and play as that, but my save file from ME2 would bring things around better, from what I gathered in other forums.

I have thought about trying as a vanguard, but I'll probably leave that to the multiplayer aspect of the game.

I've fallen in love with the human engineer and gave up on using my Vanguard. My Turian soldier is my second fav. I'm trying to figure out. Gonna work on my 3rd guy this weekend.
I'm also looking for some cats to run the 45K glitch with me so we can uncover more...better weapons.

So I hook up my xbox to the internet last night after being disconnected for over a month. And guess what? My stats for the Veteran Achievement reset back to zero. I was at over 4600 and wanted to hit 5000 kills this weekend while playing multiplayer. I shot EA an email about the situation and they sent me two solutions. Neither worked, so I let them know. I am currently awaiting another response from EA about the whole ordeal, but right now, I'm expecting that I'll have to build up my total kill count from scratch.

Not thrilled about this at all. Especially since it's the last achievement I need, and I really wanted to do it this weekend.

Still haven't gone back to single player. I was just surprised with the "Indra (sp?)" sniper rifle. Not much of a sniper rifle, but more of an assault rifle with a hella good scope. Joint has f'n sick muzzle climb though. Stupid for a "sniper" rifle. Anyway, it's fun to use. LOL.
Got my Krogan Battlemaster the other day. I'm not really a melee dude, but it's started to get fun backhanding badguys in the grill, but I'll add that using the Bataarian and punching heads off is way more fun!
Sure are a lot of dickheads/professional gamers on there. I laughed at one kid for an entire game after he mouthed off about his character level being higher than mine, hence, he couldn't be told anything.... he was pretty pissed 20 min into the game (because i was still having trouble breathing). Guess he wasn't too smart that he didn't mute his mic. I did revive him the times he died though.
...cause i'm cool like that.....
