Yup, happened to me last night. Game was lagging and characters were glitching around like crazy, then all of a sudden I'm floating up and over the map, then made my way down underneath hundreds of yards from the geometry. It was weird.

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer |OT| Rich, deep online role playing
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
Been trying the online and I must say it's not bad, except for the running/cover/revive space button. Many a time I been trying to revive a squadmate and my character just goes into cover or starts running. I ran into many issues though, like suddenly I can't fire anymore (or use my abilities) lock ups, disconnects, etc. but it must be old code or something.
I hate having to gamble to unlock characters and stuff though. I thought it was more akin to a store where you buy what you need to build your character and while I get the idea behind it, I still don't like it that much. Gonna play some more I guess.

OMG, MP is so bugged and matchmaking and options are so bad, searching a game as a party for example. Also Coop doesnt scales up with number of players, so for two players its unbeatable on low levels at least.
But its quite fun, even though starts too be a little repetitive, but havent played much of silver/gold to be sure of that.
And my god, why there arent more enemies like phantom? So awesome animated and so powerful enemy

Yes, I leveled up a turian sentinel to 5 today and my human one that I had not created got leveled to 5 automatically, got a bunch of free stat points to use because of it. Now if only this RNG gods would grant me another race to use...

Asari Adept + Stasis Bubble = Happy Times. Guardians and Phantoms are laughably easy to kill now.
Does the "Reset Powers" button ever become available, or is locked out from the demo? Or is it available as loot from the packs?

Having just unlocked and played with her for a few matches, this is totally the case. It's almost a shame, since the other level 6 stasis upgrade would have been great had it been paired against against anything other than stasis field.
I've been playing this quite a bit on 360, so I'll put my info down here so it can get added to the OP and on the off chance anyone wants to play some this weekend; I should be around:

Guardians were always easy to kill, just hit them with shockwave and end with a gun

Holy guacamole, gold is no joke. 4 Atlas, and tons of phantoms, nemesis and assorted crap round after round. We barely finished the thing, even after using all our missiles and self revives but it's certainly doable with a pug and the correct level and equipment. At the end I was awarded 240k xp and around 60k credits, not bad at all for the time it required (35 minutes in Firebase Ghost).
P.s. Anyone else find the asari adept damage completely out of control with the biotic explosion? Our leader had one and he was pretty much melting faces with that insane aoe explosion.

Dat coop action
I tried the multiplayer for the first time today (I didn't have the Battlefield 3 privilege). I guess it's well made but I'm not really having fun :S. I don't like how you can't buy what you want. The system is basically akin to buying a booster pack of a card game.
On the bright side, the gameplay is really good and much better than the singleplayer demo. You can actually control your weight/cooldown so my adept was strong in multiplayer while it was crippled in the demo mission.
I played on xbox live and people were already like level 16-17. One week after release most players will probably be overpowered which isn't such a good thing.
Moreover, I was actually expecting real coop missions. This is pretty much a horde mode where waves of cerberus operatives attack your team and once in a while you have a time limit to activate beacons or eliminate specific targets. It gets old fairly fast.
I hope I don't have to play that mode much to get galaxy readiness or whatever its called to get the best ending.

To damage the enemy?
I went from level 1 to level 7 in my first mission. Once you figure out your class you can really wreck stuff.
I guess you can? I'm level 5 and that will be enough for me :/ unless I have to play in the full game to unlock stuff in single player.
You don't have too. MP is completely optional. Sure it will help you get the best ending, but you can also achieve that with just SP. You don't even need to touch MP to get all of the achievements.
So a friend of mine started playing today for the first time, gets a Salarian Infiltrator in his recruit package, that I only got this morning. I said alright, fair enough. His first veteran package in his second match? The damn Widow.

That's one of the two things I'm waiting for basically, the Widow and the Claymore, and maybe the Carnifex as well, but the Phalanx is working fine so far already , especially with the scope and extra damage attachment I got.

noob question: does your XP and/or progress from the multiplayer demo carry on to the retail game?

I'm playing on PSN and I cannot get into a game with other players. Everybody leaves or I get booted because I'm am at a low level. Shit is impossible by yourself. Ugh.
I think I got the Widow in my first pack lol
No.

Fucking A. This mode made me realize how much i fucking LOVED and miss terrorist hunt in Rainbow Six Vegas.
QUESTION: Did i miss the collectors edition preorder period? For some reason i can still preorder it on PS3 but not for the 360. I dont see it on gamestops website either.
Edit: I reloaded the amazon site through a different link and now the alert came through that they where all out. That was weird.

They're random unlocks from the packs. Seriously.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.
I spent 20k on a Veteran pack. I don't get the pack, instead I get a disconnect and an error message telling me to talk to customer support.

I kinda like it
It's like buying card packs hoping to get a unique. Only here it's easier to come by with the credits.

yea i have the same problem. i've had vanquards on my team who dominated the match. With Change and nova. But when i try charge and then nova . nova wont activate at all.
Seriously. I really like survival/enemy hunt modes, and ME3's is up there on the list of the best that I've played.

Anyone else getting tons of disconnects or is it just me?

Oh other than the rifle and shotgun, the other weapons are god awful.

This shit is unplayable, I keep disconnecting. I better wait for March 6th.
Man, if they drop one behind you you are done. Those things kill you fast.
Meh, got too lvl 13ish and I'm done. It's not bad by any means, but that's it.

Well I think I got a knife, but what good is that to me? I miss the laser that was originally on it.
Does Infiltrator slow dow like usual? I'm think of changing class because I love me some rifle
