I recently saw the "downgrade" thread and even though I dont think downgrading has happend here, as I never expected the first trailer to be ingame graphics, It still makes me hope someone is going to mod the eyes to look more natural or maybe ( but unlikely) that bioware fixes them.

Edit: Just listened to the Main menu theme, not doing it for me either... please dont be bad ME :/
 
I'm very excited but I'm not doing the EA Access thing. For people who are, I'd really like to hear about build/combat balance in the SP and, basically, what character types from the series work well.

I'm thinking I'd like make a Krogan Vanguard (from ME3 MP) type character, a short-armed vanguard tank, but I'd like hear what's viable or what's fun in the new combat system and balancing.
 
Unless I'm misreading things they just announced some kind of phone app for multiplayer called Apex HQ on twitter. Manages loadouts and stuff like that. Available for IOS and Android.

From watching a few videos, I feel like Charge, Nova, and Backlash would be the skills for this build. Charge in and nova bunker-buster combo as normal and then use backlash to pull up a biotic shield to defend yourself till charge and nova are back off CD.
 
And you're logged in to your EA account? Hmm, maybe it's different for me since I pre-ordered from Origin.

Edit: just to be certain, this is what shows up for me

And then an account check not at all dissimilar to the one that appears for DA Keep

And finally, the soundtrack page with a download link at the bottom of the tracklist (not pictured)

Listening to the soundtrack now it definitely recalls a more synthy ambience of ME1. There's elements I really like in here but only a few tracks so far are really standing out to me. Going to need to let it settle a bit (and experience in game ofc) to really decide how much I like it though.

That page just shows me links to the origin, PSN, and Xbox stores

Looks the same to me, but I pre-ordered via XBox store. No linky to download.

(and I am logged in with my linked EA Account.

Maybe..I have to run the game first? or maybe only PC users are supported at this moment????

Yeah, I logged in to the EA account that I have and went through all the steps but the last page doesn't show any soundtrack links. I guess console buyers gotta wait till launch ;_;

Just tuned in. Is the biotic jump he's using a skill you have to put points into, or just something that comes with that particular character? I don't recall seeing that skill before.

Part of the biotic profile. You get a cosmetic biotic jump instead of the jet pack.

I've listened to a half hour preview on YouTube and it sounds pretty decent. I'm not expecting it to hit the highs of the first two games' soundtracks though.
 
I have the super deluxe preordered and installed on my XB1. Had no issue downloading or installing when preloads went up weeks ago.

Unless you're specifically talking about the app.
 
Thanks!

For some reason it was only showing up as I moused over the editions and then would vanish as I moved my mouse towards it. Finally worked though :)

Edit: Thank god for fast internet. Says it will be done in 1 hour.

No option for Paypal either. Screw you, EA. Guess I just topped up my card for nothing.
