Our team has wiped on one of these fuckers every fucking time. Their sync kills are just the final insult.

Are these guys one shot kills or is there some way to escape when they grab you?
Also someone on reddit beat a Gold solo:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/60t8z7/i_just_completed_a_deathless_gold_solo_ama/
He has what I believe is an ultra-rare character though, so... yeah. lol
Unless he was sprinting as fast as possible between locations, skipping every piece of dialogue, and knew exactly where to go each second, I don't buy this. And yeah, there are filler quests, but there are also substantial main quests and side quests as well.
I've done side quests and what not, but after like about 25-30 hours of playing, I'm at 25% Completion.
I've managed to avoid death after the animation played out. All I know is I spammed a revive pack during the attack and it let me live without using a revive pack either.
It was really weird.
Man I haven't played a game with this many bugs in a while, can't even dash anymore because it damages my character. Started after I drove of a cliff on the ice world and hasn't stopped since (figured I might as well test if I can drive of cliffs), turns out yes and no.
Also that ice world in general is just buggy as hell, so much broken shit.

He texted me with a photo of the credits and I know he only started yesterday. He wouldnt lie about something like that. He is a big ME fan.
He probably blitzed through the story missions. You know, you can finish most games quickly if you ignore all the optional content.

15 hours in one day? Holy crap, I took two days off work and I'll be surprised to hit 15 hours by the end of them.
Awesome, that's what I was hoping for!

I like that powers have separate cooldowns now. Being able to use all 3 is great.

That sounds like a personal problem of rushing because I've been playing for quite some time, not going too out of my way (and outright ignoring) any mmo side quest. And while I'm likely not too far off from a far away point, since I just completed one loyalty mission and the rest likely aren't too far behind, id still say it's a decent length.
I read in the HZD OT that someone 100% the game in ~12 Hours and beat the Story missions in 3.5 , I don't think these no. have any significance. you can almost skip through any game , unless it has "forced Dream sequence about a kid"
well yeah, but not alot of RPGs. Anyway you could all be right in the way he played it. I will start tomorrow
Anyone else have this issue......it can't be normal. I'm not drunk in game btw it's persistent and I don't recall it on the first planet

Most rpgs don't let you blaze through the main campaign because issues of being under leveled occurred which means you either grind or do side missions for exp

I don't have it but I've seen it before in other games. Definitely a bug. Does quitting and reloading help?
What's giving you shields on melee attack?
Reloading did not, I'll have to check some options when I get home from work. Try a few things.
Also does this game have a pro patch? It doesn't seem as crisp as other games recently even with the grain and CA turned off
So after trying to resist the urge of buying the game at release due to its single player state I caved and bought it anyway. Been playing Multiplayer ever since, haven't touched SP yet.
I've been trying the Havoc and I was getting frustrated with the aerial spec....until I got the Raptor. My god, I haven't even unlocked the last upgrades on Aerial manoeuvers and munitions and it's still a Raptor I but it's sooooooo goood! A Charger X and Avenger X were giving me decent performance but with the Raptor you really embody Death from Above.
I'm guessing by the time I start SP the Apex missions will have given me plenty of ressources to play confortably. And with the app I'm grinding even when away from home!

That happened to me too. I'm having fun playing and it feels like msss effect. The main issue is that this one doesn't seem to have any reason to replay it. After 10 hrs in I can't remember one significant decision that I could redo on a second play through.
Other than that, the game is not bad and I'm having fun.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Had my first animation glitch last night, random T pose out of nowhere for one of my party members. Was quick enough that i couldn't take a snapshot
I hope that's the worst I see. Otherwise, enjoying the game so far. After the prologue, at the citad... nexus and doing some space detective work solving side quests.

I had a friedn that did something similar with mass effect 2.
Im sure everyone died on him on the suicide mission.
Playing an RPG like that seems absurd to me.
So atm I'm liking it however I actually preferred the more linear and structured levels of the previous games to be honest here.
Many of these worlds are overstaying their welcome for me and I'm not enjoying most of the side quests which is shitty for me as I do most of them in the previous games, thus I attempted to do so here.
Mass effect 2 is one of my favorite games, maybe I should just accept we won't get another one of those from bioware and everything is just going to be he pseudo open and barren world stuff from now on.
Man I hate the mako being a HUGE part of the game. My number one complaint so far.

Yeah, I had one of my squadmates stuck in the T pose on top of a box. They were stuck there until the next cutscene lol
So for the people that have played both, does this feel a lot like DA: Inquisition? As a fan of all the Mass Effect games and the Dragon Age games, yes even DA:2, Inquisition never clicked with me. I ended up giving up even before leaving the Hinterlands.
The combat, quests, and map were all not really keeping my interest like the other games had, and I sort of just stopped playing with no desire to ever return. I've watched enough videos of ME:A to see that combat looks fun, but I've tried to stay away from too much of the other parts of the game because I don't want to be spoiled. Obviously, the game has issues, but I can deal with weird faces and some glitches if it still generally feels like a Mass Effect game, even if it's not as good as the first three games.

Spend time fighting that giant robot worm thing only to have the game freeze on me during the fight. Like my character can't move at all but game still going.
Jesus this game is frustating as hell.
EDIT : well ok, now everytime I go to the place to spawn the encounter my guy just freezes and nothings happens (not cutscene to initate the fight). Cannot bring up the menu, cannot move, cannot do anything the game just stuck...

I haven't been that far into the game but from what I've played, yes, this is most definitely using DA: Inquisition as a game play template in terms of how the world is peppered with side quests and things on the map.
When you're on the Nexus (the Citadel of this game) then you're sort of doing the same kind of things you did in the Citadel in ME1 but when you land on planets, it sort of becomes like one of the zones in DA: I .. with more mobility options for the player.
Did you ever play Renegade Shephard? Mark Meer is hilariously sarcastic. Ryder sounds generic, but I'm only a few hours in so I'm hoping he gets better.

and story and voiced side quests and more.
Thanks! Yeah, that's what I figured though. Perhaps with better combat and more mobility then that type of game won't feel as bad. I really want to play a new Mass Effect game, so I may still buy it, but I'm definitely on the fence about it.

If I've bought the standard edition on Origin is there any way to upgrade to the Deluxe edition?
Yeah, its been up for a couple days now.
They'll have it as a separate upgrade product, just like with Titanfall 2 and Battlefront and so forth. Usually these upgrade products aren't available until a couple of days after launch,

Fuck I'm just sitting here at work twiddling my thumbs and thinking about MP builds and getting to the next planet and shit.
Same. I barely had any time for Halo. But all I have done is come home from work and play Mass Effect and before I know it, I need to sleep to even get 5 hours of sleep before I have to get up for work again.
Some of it is a chore, but it is Mass Effect to me. The game has me hooked sort of like ME1 and ME2 did.
Maybe it's because I've been playing WoW for years, but I don't really mind what I've played so far of Eos, the first planet that everyone keeps complaining about, and all the DA:I/offline MMO comments I see.
I mean, you explore an abandoned outpost with a bunch of datapads & audio logs explaining what happened like good old Mass Effect, opening scattered containers for loot, then you explore a vast zone, reaching points of interest on your map for your next objective(whether it's the main quest, or investigating a murder) or simply reaching that Ketts or Remnants group in the distance and looting whatever goodies they may have.
I've got a feeling that most people who hate Eos are people who vastly prefer the corridor shooter style missions that ME2 and ME3 used to have. Am i correct?
