OMG I got a Drell Adept
Edit : OMG level carries over the same class ? I had a lvl 20 human adept so I can just power up to the max my new Drell. Biotic Grenades looks rad

Same here, my first unlock in the demo with a Veteran pack was Asari Adept, and now after more than 30 Spectre packs I can't get it and not one Krogan.

So, single player I am all about the Infiltrator. But lately in MP I've been enjoying Quarian engineer. Do any of you have suggestions on a build? I've seen a few builds and am leaning towards:
Max Turret: Shock, Cryo, Flame
Max Incinerate: Damage, Recharge, Freeze
Max Cryo: Duration, Recharge, Damage Boot.
What do you all suggest?
Gamertag: GrandHarrier feel free to add me.

Nice! That's my favorite class by far. You can put in so much work and carry teams.

Fellow Gaffers, if someone quits out of a multiplayer game, are the enemy AI automatically scaled to 3 people (less enemies)? Or do the 3 people have to bear the brunt of a 4 man game until (if) someone joins 5 waves later?

Reave is pretty dope to trigger biotic explosions. Grenades are so fucking powerfull. Two take down a brute.
Feel free to add me as well if you want. I have a Asari Adept and Quarian / Salarian ready for some silver or gold games.

Spent about 25$. Most of it at the start to get some characters and weapons unlocked. I feel dirty every time I buy a pack with real money though. Feeding the devil. But goddamn it is so addicting.
I was like that with a certain other online game. But I cant stand giving EA money, so I won't do it for ME3.
I'm pretty sure that the game doesn't scale at all, unless they changed it from the demo. So if you start with 3 people, it's the same as starting with 4 and 1 dropping out.

There's so many Thane-wannabe Drells online. They're always the first to die, and consistently die every round after, because they think they're badass biotic melee assassins. Only they're not. They're shit.
Also, what the hell is up with people not completing objectives? Do people not understand that if you don't complete the objective, the round fails?

Enemies stay the same since they said from the demo that whether it's 1 or 4 people, you will always fight the same amount of enemies, but luckily things like hacking objectives and the final extraction scale properly to be done fast as long as everyone who remains is in/full extraction bonus.
Had that happen to me once last week as a Vanguard when I actually was just trying to get past her instead of fighting her to revive somebody - charged her, ran off, was a good ten feet or so away, then was magically sliding back into her arms and got finished off. Was pissed off as you could expect.
Never happened again so I'm positive that it was a lag issue.
Also annoying - I died trying to revive someone, he still died anyways, along with another guy, and the one guy left is running around killing other enemies with the LAST objective kill on the other side of the map - joke is that his N7 level was 449 - how do you get that high and not know it's game over if you don't go for the objective?
Yeah, an Asari with a good Infiltrator or two makes those Cerberus silvers pretty easy. I still get destroyed by the god damn phantoms though.

Thankfully I haven't run into either of these things. Completing objectives fast is the thing I worry about most, because that's where bonus credits come from.

Anyone want to run some Silvers/Golds on PC? I'll do golds if everyone is comfortable with it; my only 20 is an Engineer with chain overload x2.
Shoot me a friend request @ Perf3ct_Cha0s.

Once again my all of my teammates left the room for me to finish the damn game. It was bronze reapers so it wasn't that hard.

Is there a counter for the Brute challenge somewhere?
I don't think so. I think it's a case where they can get away with giving it to everyone anyways. Though honestly I don't think 1 million brutes will be that hard to do.
I find the invite system for MP is pretty bad on the PS3.
The invitation doesn't expired even tho the guy started a game
The game also don't tell you the person you are inviting is in a game or not.
So every time someone invite me when i am in a game, they dont' know i am playing and when i finish and accept it, they started theirs

Aren't Marauders created from Turians? I haven't played through the campaign yet but I'd imagine the Reaper parasite or whatever could just hijack the Turian and not damage his armor/shield generator.

Goddamn I fucking hate Banshees. Every silver match I've tried always fails because of banshees. Brutes are a manageable problem, especially now that I've upgraded my sticky grenades to do extra damage against armour. Two grenades, which I always have, and they're dead.
Banshees, on the other hand? Nobody seems to know what the fuck to do with them.

Biotic Explosions bring them down fast.
As a level 20 Engineer, do I want to max fitness or incinerate?
I don't find incinerate too useful since I just spam overload every chance I get and spam my heavy pistol between cooldown.
Engineer and Adept rape them. Energy Drain/Overload + Biotic Explosion = /gg

As a Human Infiltrator, all I can really do against Banshees is snipe them. Takes a ton of ammo especially if you don't have teammates with powers to bring down the barriers, but it's doable I guess. An advantage of sniping is that you should always be far enough away to not get grabbed too. I use a Black Widow though so I'd imagine it might take longer with a lower damage rifle.
If I'm alone, I'll just run away from the Banshee and pick off the other barrier-less Reapers. Banshees move so slowly that, if they're the last enemy, you can easily kite them.
I got the Drell Adept yesterday (and Asari Adept the day before) and I'm just loving them. I had enough practice with the Asari Adept, so the Drell Adept was new to me. I followed the guide to leveling him that someone posted here, and it seems to work really well for me. Pull + Reave is an awesome biotic combo.
The thing is, I was playing on bronze, and even then, I felt a little squishy. Unshielded enemies were no problem for me, but what should I do for shielded/armoured opponent? Someone said reave + grenade, but cluster grenades are so damn finicky when I toss them.
Regardless, I like the Drell Adept much more than the Drell Vanguard.

Banshees are the reason why I think Bronze/Silver is the dividing line between Teamwork is extra/Teamwork is required. Pretty stark difference IMO.

Same thing happened to me twice today. I kept my distance, and still got pulled in from quite far away.
Guilty. Lately I have been trying to melee big enemies (Atlas, Brute, Prime) to death with my Drell Adept. I haven't been killed yet.
I've been using adrenaline rush III amps on a Drell Adept. Fun little crackling.
I'm still saying it. On silver/gold if at least one other person figures out cooperative warp bombs the map starts to clear itself. Played a map with a Vanguard that figured out if it stayed near me I would warp/stasis everything before it charged. We got to the point where the Vanguard could reliably charge banshees. The Vanguard got picked up for a hug once, but the banshee died before finishing him off.
I know they are effective, but I don't have lift grenades with my Drell Adept. I don't have grenades on any of my characters. I put those extra points into the passives to carry bigger guns and be slightly less squishy. I play on silver/gold more than I do bronze so every extra bit helps me.
An Asari Adept or Human Sentinel can easily solo a banshee as long as the rest of the team stays out of the way. I'm using a level 6 or 7 Phalanx most of the time. I have a level 2 Carnifax, but it is too heavy at the moment.
