We should get 3 Victory packs now.
Cool.
Very excited with the support they're giving multiplayer. It's pretty damn rough around the edges but there's lots of potential here I think.
I have a feeling after thinking about it a bit that it has to do with the nature of data EA is probably collecting from players that made Sony hesitate on letting them. EA is of course more buddy-buddy with MS anyways though.

i think that counts as genocide
That's not true in the slightest. Other online games gather information about your playtime.
Also, game froze again
Question about upgrading your weapons using the packs. Say you upgrade a weapon to level 10, will it still show up in packs to taunt you? Seeing characters multiple times yields xp and customization stuff, is there something similar if the weapons still appear? Conversely, if they stop appearing, what shows up instead if all are maxed at that pack level?

If only PS3 could have been in this
Does PS3 version have that option in online menu to not share data?
Pretty sure that once a weapon is fully upgraded, it's removed from the pool of possible objects. That's why it might be worth it to grind through recruit packs to get the low-level stuff maxed out.

Weapons will stop appearing, but characters never will. I've got three Turian Sentinels since I unlocked all the customization options. While I'm a big fan of the class I'm not that big a fan.
There any word on what in the victory packs.

What I mean is that perhaps EA is not collecting the same information as other devs, but more, and maybe EA crosses Sony's line but not MS's.
It's still an out there theory, just putting it out there.
Awesome, thanks. I've been grinding out the basic packs, nice to know that I wont be plagued by them later on.
Its like they fine tuned that class to kill Phantoms and nothing else.
Yup. I don't want to play Asari unless I'm going to use a gun or something. Which will never happen when I can Nova everything on Human.
Adds 20 to your N7 level, makes the character a war asset in single player, and level resets all races/characters under that class.
Unfortunately, it also auto-places the first skill point into the first ability. No way to get rid of this without a respec card.
Also unfortunately, if you've gotten class upgrade cards, the XP from those doesn't apply. You'll always start at level 1.
You may want to try the Disciple (shotgun).
I was having a bit of fun with a melee centric vanguard the other night and... it worked okay on Silver. The Disciple is great only because of its borderline auto-stagger and relatively low weight. Mixing up 50/50 charges with shots in between gives you lots of leeway for free combos and it also takes advantage of the martial artist and power synergy boosts in Asari Justicar. Its not quite Krogan, but with Stasis bubble spam... its definitely worth trying out.
It only adds 10 to your N7 level.
Also, the character becomes a war asset with a score of 75, specifically.
How does the whole War Asset thing work anyways?

E-peen. It's like prestieging. Although here at least it lets you start over without having to spend a respect token.
In single player War Assets are multiplied by your Galactic Readiness percentage to get your Effective Military Strength, which determines options for ending(s) and outcomes for deaths, etc. The more you explore and find shit and talk to people, or if you import multiplayer characters, the higher your War Asset score and therefore your Effective Military Strength as well.
Also, N7 score is just for leaderboard dick waving.

While that is a bit extreme I consider it normal for the vanguard to have 2x as many points as the rest of the team. He can charge/nova kill things before the rest of the team can even fire.
Don't you feel a bit cheap complaining about the rest of the team scoring low when you're playing Vanguard? lol.

My character never showed up in singleplayer on my board. Does it actually show the character name, or does it just add the points?
Yeah
I worded my whole complaint wrong. Randoms just don't contribute, be it objective or kills as much as I'd like.
During the Extraction Wave, being the last person to damage an enemy means you receive the kill when the timer runs out, correct?
I've just been basically peeing on every enemy I see within the last 5 seconds and I've gotten Brute and Prime and Atlas kills by just hitting them with 2 bullets.

I think this is my first pack with 3 golds.
It shows up as N7 Special Ops under Alliance or something like that
Yeah pretty much. I am not going to promote any more stuff. It's more fun for me to play gold w/ level 20 chars and get respec cards through packs rather than play bronze/silver to level characters again.
lol i am having the same trouble

I'm still clearing out level 1 weapons. Finally maxed the Avenger and the Shuriken. A couple more days before I move on to better packs. It is satisfying buying so many, though, so that will suck when I have to wait longer.
I absolutely love the Vanguard class. I really like the Drell, but it is just too fragile I think. I think human with Nova is the way to go. The delay when it won't charge, is that just lag, or are there factors I am not aware of? It has gotten me killed even on bronze, which is troubling.

If you fire immediately after casting drain it still counts as a cloak shot.
I probably have the majority of character customizations now. I have every class unlocked. Except the Salarian Infiltrator :[
I also forgot the equipment packs were expiring so soon. I meant to stock up on cobras.

Basically when you buy packs you have a chance of getting the same weapon again, if you do it adds a level to your current weapon.
They'll be automatically awarded to you tomorrow. Will probably show up as a free pack in the store like the starter pack did.
hnnggggehhhhWait... You use your gun as an asari adept?
hnnggggehhhh
wahpoosh
I wonder what is going to get hit with the nerf bat today. I believe my builds are diversified enough that if something gets nerfed hard something else I like will get buffed.
I'm leaning towards high RoF rifles buffs.
