After being the Batarain, I was playing as a Drell Adept, and the Cluster Grenade kills I was getting with him did count as Biotic kills. So maybe it varies from class to class. I got Adept to level 20, promoted it, and bought a reserves pack. Unlocked N7 Demolisher for the first time. Just when I'd been betting into Grenades bigtime, I get the Grenadier class. Both Cluster and Lift Grenades count towards Biotic kills. If you spec a Demolisher right, she's better suited for sniping than Infiltrators are. I always packed a N7 Valiant and the N7 Eagle with my Demolisher; one of the few classes I armed with more than one weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Well, I noticed right away that the only power you have a cooldown for is placing the Supply Pylon, so weapon weight isn't an issue. And on some maps, you only need to place it twice: Once in the first wave (in the universally recognised camping spot), and once in the last wave (in the extraction zone). The first time I tried the character we were on Firebase White. It was nice and easy. The second time, we were on Firebase Reactor and it was much trickier, because where do you put the damn thing?

You put it where the Landing Spawn / Extraction Zone is, dummy! If your pylon is there you can pretty much camp the front half of the zone including anything coming out of the reactor if you have a high ROF sniper like the Indra, Viper, or N7 Valiant. The only time when shit gets tricky when you have your pylon is there is during the odd repawn when EVERYTHING spawns at the Extraction Zone and that spawn point stage right from the EZ. That's why you stay close to the EZ because the game rarely spawns enemies right on top of you. The only time I move the pylon from that spot on Reactor is when there is a hack to be done and I need supply grenades to all party members running grenade throwing classes...

J.T. Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah, I hate that concept. Quarians have a similar biological composition to Turians so why do Quarians have to resemble Humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've spent the last hour or so re-reading this thread, and I'm feeling so damn nostalgic for some Mass Effect Multiplayer sessions. One of these days, we all just need to pick a day to jump back into this for old times sake and see if we want to keep it going afterwards.

AxB Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Don't you just hate it when you buy a reserves pack hoping to finally get the Krogan with the massive hammer, and instead you get to change the colour of the lights on the Volus Engineer you keep getting but never use?

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I literally had the Hammer Krogan before I had played a Multiplayer game. It was in the free packs I got when I started. Hated him. That said, still waiting on my N7 Paladin and Asari Huntress, Heck, even my Drell Vanguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've had an Asari Huntress for ages. And an N7 Paladin, come to think. I got the Geth with the Hex Shield the other day, and still haven't tried him. I dislike that it keeps giving me endless Cobra Missiles and Ops survival packs that I never use, but I still haven't got a sniper scope to see through Smoke. Or any Medi-Gel ever. And most of my best guns are level 1, but I've got the basic Assault Rifle at level 10 already. It's really noticeable when you play on anything but Bronze how useful it is to have Power synchronicity with your teammates. So you don't have to wait to detonate your own Biotic explosions, or you can spawn grenades for all three other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 You know, it's kind of amazing you can still just join into a game on Multiplayer and find other people who aren't terrible. Just joined a game with a guy with a Challenge rating over 40,000, and another over 4,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Shout out to the guy on top of the N7 rating leaderboard by the way. 4 guys have broken the 100,000 point mark in terms of N7 rating. idlehands88 XXI, however, has a 300,000 N7 rating. So that guy is clearly either a group of people or a hacker. Probably the hacker. thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I only just found out about n7hq.masseffect.com. Now I finally know how those guys have custom banners, and how to get one myself. How can I get another 185 grabs quickly? Because it's either that or keep buying character packs and hope for a N7 Shadow or Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
