Can anybody that's unlocked the Destroyer tell me what it's health/shields are like?

I was watching somebody trying to run to an objective with it in an earlier game, and it seemed ridiculously slow.

How are the new maps? I heard some comments about London, but what about Rio & Vancouver?

Any weird bugs too like Sulkesh and the extraction zone that ignore your presence if you're in cover?

lol, had a pretty good Silver match goin' with the Shadow, and the game locks up on me. Guess that's my cue to take a break.

I like how you can pretty much load up the Demolisher with the heaviest crap in the game and get away with it. Only power she has that effects cooldown is the Supply Pylon, and you won't be setting those around too often.

I unlocked the Destroyer a short while ago, and I don't think I "get" it just yet... It's not as quite as durable as I was hoping it would be, the... Destroyer Mode, was it? Seems like a poor man's Marksman. The missle launcher power doesn't seem reliable at all—they don't fly straight to the target, which means they're more likely to hit obstacles instead. And if they DO hit the target, the damage doesn't seem all that impressive.

Oh, and I as I was searching for a Gold match for my Demolisher, I was pretty much forced into a Platinum match. :/ Wouldn't have been so bad if the guys weren't cheating. Two of them were using the missle launcher glitch, and I didn't want to just quit 'n let my consumables go to waste.

So, homing grenades are grenades? As in, not a cooldown power?
Also, what are the options in the missile launcher tree?
 
Is it just me or ever since they started including higher level equipment Im not getting anything else? Ive been currently spamming veteran packs and all I get is III of equipment. My plan was to maximize the gear equipment from the silver level but it seems thats not going to happen for a long time.
 
Hmm, so going by the comments made during BioWare's SDCC panel, they don't actually 'plan' on having any more multiplayer DLC. Shifting to single player, and will see if people keep playing the multiplayer to gauge whether or not to do more.

No...... turian...... infiltrator.......?

Yessir. Travels a lil' slow, though.

Also, what are the options in the missile launcher tree?
Code:
[i]Rip a target into shreds with the T5-V's autofiring shoulder cannon.

Lock onto a target to launch a stinger missile.
Stays active until disabled.
Decreases max shields by 50% while active.

[u]Rank 4[/u]
[b]Shield Penalty[/b] - Reduce shield penalty by 15%
[b]Damage and Force[/b] - Increase missile damage and force by 30%

[u]Rank 5[/u]
[b]Refire Time[/b] - Reduce refire time by 25%
[b]Armor Damage[/b] - Increase effectiveness against armored targets by 50%

[u]Rank 6[/u]
[b]Hydra Missiles[/b] - Upgrade missile housing to fire 2 extra seeking projectiles. Decreases payload of each missile by 50%
[b]Cobra Missiles[/b] - Upgrade missile munitions to increase damage and force by 100% Increase impact radius by 300%[/i]

The max shield penalty would explain why his armor seemed so paper thin at times. Didn't notice that in the description the first time around. :p
 
Maxed out the pistol and shotty, got all characters and equipment, and some of the attachments. Pistol is really good against shields/barriers.

I have enough for 6 packs, so I hope I at least get a few characters. I saw a video of a Slayer decapitating a phantom with a flaming sword. I'd like to do that.

Bought 4 packs, and only got the new pistol along with a couple decent old upgrades, but the fourth package got me a Harrier II (which is my baby) and a Black Widow II so I ain't even mad. Still got about a million left.

Went through the three levels, I like them all, and Rio is huge - it's got at least six ammo crates, which is the most I know of.

Haven't tried Platinum at all yet, and seeing as how bad the randoms are in just trying to complete a Gold match today, I'm not gonna try till a couple friends of mine are online.

How about the Devastator mode (or whatever it's called)?
Hell, just post the multi-frag tree as well.

I spoke with the dev's in person at the Bioware base. I was given the impression more dlc was being worked on.
 
managed to complete a single round of Platinum. Jesus Christ. Geth and Cerberus at the same time is a god damn nightmare, you make well over 90k credits when you clear it too.

Team make up was three new N7 classes, plus me as a Medi-Geth. Had to use FBW, wave 9 to 11 was the hardest, and is where we spent most of our rockets.

The new classes just tear shit apart, they're ridiculous.

That's good to know. Hope it's true.

I'm surprised that the missile glitch did not get patched along side the DLC. It seems to becoming more prevalent. I only had a chance to get one platinum game in and it had a guy doing it. smh. The longer Bioware takes to fix this, the less potential revenue they generate, the less likelyhood for more DLC for everyone.

Spent 1.5M: got the new pistol and shotty to X, unlocked each new class at least twice, and got a few of the new gear. The ultra rare weapons have been avoiding me like the plague though.

Did anyone on PC ever saw that missile glitch? I wonder if its something exclusive on consoles since i never saw anyone do it.

I can tell you the BW base was a very casual environment. Nothing like the Con floor or E3 for that matter. The setting allowed everyone to talk "openly", if you get my drift.

After my experience of hanging out with the team for a few days I'm confident they've got tons more going on for MP then they'll ever speak about openly and the sale of packs seems to lean toward future dlc.

We should know in about 6 weeks or so.

First try on Platinum, made it to Wave 10 with all of the money, what a battle, dayum. Third objective was Escort, which had to be done through a sea of Primes, Banshees and Phantoms.

Sooooooooo good that a split second before I went down, the objective was complete - 125,000 or credits in 30 minutes!

Not even mad that we didn't make it to Wave 11, it was all about the money!

Just got the new infiltrator. Definitely the most fun infiltrator for me, damage output is awesome (plus she has fucking flame swords). I really wish I could max everything out. Platinum is tough, only have got to wave 8 on it so far.

Typhoon is the most powerful AR. Shame about the weight. I hate the design and N7 branding though.

The revenant has basically been outclassed in every way with this gun as long as you're not entirely power reliant. Marksman is ridiculous with it. Seems like it can pierce cover/guardian shields too.

Also, you can cloak cancel with the slayer infiltrator-press uncloak THEN use either of the sword powers, and you get the cloak damage bonus with the lower cooldown of whichever power you used.
 
So, still getting the hang of my Slayer...

Phase Disruptor is cool, but doesn't lock on: it fires in a straight shot forward. It does have splash damage, which is cool.

Biotic Slash isn't really a close-range attack as I at first thought: it's more like a Shockwave with a fancy animation and an insane range. I was staggering enemies halfway across Firebase London.

Heavy Melee locks on, which is nice. Didn't put enough points into fitness, though, so it's pretty weak.

I'm gonna buy one more Spectre Pack, and after that, stick to buying Jumbo Equipment Packs.

Don't spend your credits yet. There is a bug and some mods aren't getting unlocked.

Spent ~5 million credits. Unlocked/leveled all the classes and weapons, but there was a disappointing lack of Ultra Rares. Gear is bugged and I only got a few pieces.The saving grace was that I got 2 levels of Harrier.

Didn't have much time to play, but I tried out the N7 Soldier on Platinum(solo.) He WORKS the Harrier. I made it to wave 5 first try. Not too shabby for a class I was screwing around with. Had to hump the ammo crates all game, but the RoF is brilliant with the Harrier. You really have to minimize the amount of time you spend outside of cover on Platinum.

Can't wait to dig into the other classes later on tonight.

Sorry for the late reply.

Anyone on PS3 wanna play with me? Apparently N7 levels still mean something so no one wants to play with a Level 4. I was about a 1400 on Xbox but it broke, and I didn't want to buy a new one.

My ID is OmegaaRex if anyone doesn't mind. I refuse to play on Bronze or Silver, that shit is boring and you get no money.

Man, the luck is not with me for new DLC - only got one new character, the Destroyer, which was the second character I wanted, but everything else DLC-wise has been worth jack. Assault Rifle Omni-blades and other gear which I don't even need. While my friend now currently has all six characters, with one of them even maxed with all appearance options.

All I want now is the Shadow, that's all I need BioWare, come on now.

But damn, the Destroyer with increased rate of fire and damage for my Harrier II - holy shit it wrecks fools on Gold! Especially when it takes the ammo and doubles the clip size, the Harrier is now a hose of death. I skipped the Missile Launcher and maxed everything else and I loved it. Was on top as usual but funny to see a soldier there on Gold, both times I used him even.

Daaaayyyuuuummmm

125K credits?!? :O

That's a pretty high amount of credits. Funny how people on Bioware forums find that 125k is low.

Yeah boys, it's really good cash, but damn it, it's already hectic from Wave 1.

I chose Geth, and it only hit me when they started that the Hunters are faster, holy shit.

Trust me, if you are planning to play Platinum, everyone must have a mic - you are going to be calling out nonstop if you're planning to win. I'm sure that if we didn't get the Escort mission we would have made full extraction - anything else but that since we even survived a hacking objective for our second objective.

Unlocked the Demolisher Engineer, just so happened to have the Grenade cap mod. There's something nice about having 9 grenades. :3

I chose Geth as well. Hunters are fast as hell. I ran to one side of the map and hid behind cover so I could grab as many of them as possible. I kept circling the map trying to clear out the smaller enemies before tackling the Primes and whatnot*. The bosses regenerate shields crazy fast so you have to be ready to pour everything you have on them with as little interruption as possible.

*Thankfully they made Cerberus Engineer more aggressive. They reposition their turret to try and trap you, but all it does is give you an opening to keep circling the map :p
 
bought 8 psp packs

got the new engie and is amazing!!!!! to have so much nages but with weak shieds

the new vanguard, meh

the juggernaut mod with improved shields and heavy melee

I want to try the new adept
