MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA (Here be Spoilers)


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Only managed to get a single barrel yesterday.  The game is slacking.  Got 12 left to go.

melraz and I ran a bronze strike team yesterday where the combined apex rating of the four of us was over 50K.  The whole thing was comical.

I am not comfortable running anything above Bronze until I can figure out improving my MP connection

Yesterday was a little better but any time it got busy the game would get SHIT! WE CAN'T HANDLE THIS!

I checked the weapon mod section of my Collection menu in the Prestige section and noticed that I have never ever received a Pistol Receiver.

I'll see if I can pick up a few for you.  The game won't know what to do when it runs out of mods to give me.

My thing with that specific post is A) why are you giving traffic to reddit when your response should have been on the site you actually work for? and B) he really needs to understand why people have a problem with the I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING!!! approach

Everything he is reporting could end up being 100% accurate but when you say you don't have confirmation and then speak in absolutes - don't be shocked that people don't buy it

The comments on the Kotaku story itself were pretty overwhelmingly positive toward the article. Guess he had to address the nay-sayers on Reddit for whatever reason.

And he's just saying that given what he knows about the situation - Bioware Montreal pretty much shut down and staffers flung all over the place - that DLC couldn't possibly happen. Obviously, if they wanted to do DLC bad enough, they could find a way, but he doesn't see them going through the trouble, and neither do I. The snarky headlines would write themselves - "DLC issued in attempt to revive dead game," even though we know that's not the case.

Just when I think I have this game down, I get humbled. My KroGuard is up to 17 now, so after a couple easy bronze runs with randoms, I decided to try silver.

The first match was great. Everyone worked together and we got a full extraction. Awesome, I think. I'm getting good at this game.

Second round was with different randoms, and hoo boy did we get our shit stomped in. I must have gone down at least 8 times. At one point, I ran in to revive a guy and the room was packed. I don't know enemy names well enough yet, so I'll just say it was like 3 regular sized dudes, two Behemoths, and some gigantic rock looking fucker.

Long story short, dude did not get revived and the rest of us went down like flies. I think it was only wave 5.

It does not suprise me that most DVDVR guys that play this game gravitate to Krogan in multiplayer.

If you guys didn't play at two in the morning, old men like me could help you out in Silver matches.

I have my KroMerc armed with the Revenant and the Ruzad. 

He is beginning to feel like the Heavy Weapon Specialist I want him to be.  It looks like he will also benefit from the new Armored Compartments mod so that he has loads of spare ammo and an seven Flak Cannon rounds.

I just need to check his specs to make sure that weapon damage and melee damage are both optimal and respec him if they aren't.

My Asari Duelist is now up to Level 10.  I like her a lot and she has most of the powers I wish the Krogan Gladiator had.

I have finally got my Do Over playthrough up to Making An Impression.  I'm off to Havarl again once I kack this fucking Architect again.

Aww... considering I will be doing Meridian tonight JT is so not catching me now.

I am tempted to do a third playthough just to see how far I could get on that.

I am pot committed to Jaal now. At least his mother approves.

I've been working 12 hour shifts at Camp Atterbury since Monday and I don't wrap this shit up until Friday, so now I only have time to shower, game for a couple of hours, eat something light and then pass out in prep for the next day.

Even if I had extra leisure time for taking in the sights, the part of Indiana where I am isn't exactly an entertainment mecca.

Well the big difference is in my two hours of gaming a day - I am doing campaign. You do MP

But again - apparently I am the only person who works a traditional 9-5 (well 8-4).

Everyone playing at like 2 AM sucks

Got Power Recharge bonus stat to level 3. Now 3% faster than standard. And only another 9 million XP to level 4 (12 million level 3, 21 million level 4). Anyone who gets that trophy in Multiplayer(level 6 bonus stat) rather than Singleplayer (All 6 profiles to level 6 - which basically means maxxing out every ability) is doing it the hard way.

I like doing things the hard way.

Too be fair - I am doing that achievement in Single Player without using the respec station

So my way is decently hard too

(I think I am at Level 103 and still need at least a dozen more levels to get enough points)

Patch 1.08 didn't do shit for the Pause Menu bugs.  

I still have instances of Blue !'s in my Journal and Inventory tabs that won't go away and I know its because of the equipment bugs for the Nomad upgrades and the screwed up task marker for Data Trail.

Ran a few silvers last night with RUkered and Stout.  We had pretty good luck with randoms.  Ol' Bob was the best.  Bob's got this shit.  New Bob wasn't too bad either.

One disappointment pack bought, one more barrel down.

Bob left us, but our hearts will go on. New Bob was pretty good, but he was no old Bob.

Those packs should be labeled "a chance at a character you'll probably never play and a gun you'll definitely never use."

We really shoulda recorded RUkered doing his best Celine Dion.

Liam, Drack and I took out the Remnant Architect and I said Fuck You to the environment and gave Advent access to the natural gas mine. 

A new trading partner that owed me a favor and wasn't dying of thirst seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hey, if there's not going to be any future DLC to make me regret my decisions, I can do whatever I want.

I'm on the landing pad on Havarl now and will be grinding through that stuff tonight.

I can take the night off from MP since I have over 600 Mission Funds and will easily be able to afford the new Friday equipment mod.  I also beat my Daily Challenge before coming to work.  It took me three matches to score 30K points vs. Remnant enemies.

Did Vetra's mission yesterday before work. Switched up the options for taking out the baddies, but i doubt it made much of a difference. 

What was interesting for me - and I think it was just a glitch - was that it didn't let me disable the Hydra this time.

That was what I choose the first time and I was going to do it again but this time I couldn't scan it so it wouldn't give it to me as a choice.

Bought a reserves pack for 100,000 credits, and got a new pattern for my Asari Huntress. Then bought an Expert pack for half that, and finally got the Krogan Gladiator.

Also, my Apex rating is now over 9000.
