Goddammit. Just finished the main story on Insanity to get the platinum trophy as well as finally watching the extended ending. Right at the end when I'm supposed to choose one of the three endings, I decide to shoot the kid and... "refusal ending" kicks in. Great. Now if I want to see the actual ending I have to redo the horrible last mission on Earth.
The best part is that for some reason this specific ending makes so that the game considers I haven't finished the game on Insanity, so no trophy for me. Perfect.


Sorry for the rant on the multiplayer thread, I didn't want to bump the old OT or make a new one. Carry on :p

Edit: fuck, I would also have to do the Cerberus HQ mission, along with the god awful Kai Leng fight. And even then I'm not even sure that would validate the Insanity run. I guess that's that. Not touching this game again anytime soon.

I thought the game left you with an auto-save into the Citadel? So that you wouldn't need to replay the last 2 missions.

Just go to "Restart Mission - Citadel". It'll put you right at the bottom of the portal.

Yep, I'm stupid. I read that right after writing my message. Although the restart save put me at that moronic slow-motion sequence, and you can't skip any dialogues after that. Anyway! I'm watching the credits now, and I got the coveted trophies. The ending is much better now. Off to play the entire trilogy on PC now :eek: Sorry again for the derail!

Clever girl....I just met a rocket glitcher spacing out his kills so he doesn't seem like he's glitching.

Looks like I'm going to have to be more aggressive in booting anybody that looks like they're remotely going to attempt glitching.

And you're 100% sure he didn't have on the Armored Compartments gear? :)

Yes. Watched the kill feed for 4 rounds and he had nothing but missile launcher kills. Not hawk missile launcher kills but ordinary missile launcher kills. Way more than what the armored components can offer.

Unusual behavior + missile only kills in killfeed is a no brainer. Dude was a glitcher trying to get away with it.

I like playing against Collectors.
I like playing on Condor.

Many people do not :D I have to start my own games to get this combination and it's hilarious how many people will go 'NOPE!' and drop immediately after joining my game in-progress. Some players will stick around and they ready-up immediately after we extract.

Also, I was an unbeliever but that Javelin AP/HVB really can shoot through just about the whole map. I killed a Scion through terrain from near the extract zone. GI, Javelin and Phasic Rounds are death.

Started playing gold for the first time since I maxed all my uncommons. It's a pretty interesting increase in difficulty from Silver, but boy, do the players on there suck. I've had so many games where the players would not revive, would disperse into isolation and would go down frequently. Did manage to win a few games though, but these were all collector matches so that might have something to do with it (I'm about 50 000 Praetorian points away from Collector Mastery).


Anyways, I unlocked quite a bit yesterday. Got a hurricane from my commendation pack, Argus, Falcon and the Asari Valkyrie.

What are your thoughts on those weapons? And how exactly am I supposed to play the Valkyrie. I've got a 6/6/6/5/3 build.

I hate fighting the Collectors.
Its so frustrating when you're in the middle of a heavy fire fight and you have to deal with those stupid, little, floating swarm-balls.

I have the same problem with the new Geth Soldier. They were stupid and put flamer on the Y button. So in the heat of battle I gotta pull off my right thumb to use it. A few times I turned off Hunter mode by accident.

The same goes for Vanguard class as well, where Charge is mapped to triangle button. It makes no sense as it's the power you use the most. Barrier would be far better there.

I don't particularly like Condor. The hacking missions can be a pain in the ass, especially against Collectors. So, if somebody would have set it and Collectors, I might exit the lobby. It's more interesting to play with random maps and enemies eitherway. I don't find it fun to repeat the same map over and over again.

Eh... all those complaints about buttons and power positions makes me glad that i'm playing on PC, where if a power is set to 1 or 2 or 3 have no consequences at all. :D

Luckily you can map them in the campaign, where I always put Charge on R2.

I have the same stuff right now playing Silver. Players can score lower and still clear Silver easily if they work together, but some retard will always run off and get himself killed because he wants to be at the top of the score list.

Thats a good general rule. For me, the exception is on a map like Rio. A lot of people stand in the middle of it (in the open control room) and get picked to death. I always run down to the far end. Even if I have to do it alone.

When they tried to play the multiplayer on the giant bomb stream yesterday, it looked like it only accepted credits. They also loaded Firebase Goddess, so at least some of the dlc maps are on the disc as well I think.

I'm able to log in. Haven't had a problem since I got it in September. Could it be isolated?

The N7 number is the number of times you've promoted the current class (I've done my engineers twice, so it flashes 2). The gold medal number is the points rewarded for completing challenges (such as seen here), which unlock the background images you see now. The points themselves are meaningless, at least to my knowledge, really only indicating how much a person has played/grinded.

They changed GGW, now Firebase White has a few extra corridors that make the old camping spot tougher. I haven't tried it like that since the update, but I assume it's dead. And yeah, Praetorians (and Collectors in general) are fast and weird to deal with at start after being so used to the others for so long. The first time you see a possessed husk explode though, so awesome.

Seems like I got the Turian Ghost glitch as well, which gives too many XP points. Now I wonder whether I can use him at all, evethough I'd only spend the allowed amount of points? I really don't want to promote the class, and start from the beginning.

If you create a match to play by yourself how does the game handle that? Do matches scale based on how many people are in a match? Does it affect the rewards from the missions?

The only advantage i see in playing alone is you're going to get points for Challenges faster than with a group since you're the only one killing enemies. Unless its one of those "do XX waves" or "extract 10 times" ones, then a group is faster.

Ohhh. I always thought it was the damage range of level 1, not the damage range of levels 1-10. Thanks.

That's why some weapons have massive number changes between the two numbers and others don't. They are slow-firing vs. rapid-firing, respectively.

I only used the Collector SMG once and I thought it was nothing more than a piece of crap.
I used the increased magazine and the extra damage muzzle thingy. I was constantly waiting for the thing to cool down.

edit: Great. the first UR I get to X and its a Scorpion. A gun that is unusable for me (unless I host).
