Yeah, I guess.. maybe more so on Gold which I havn't actually played yet.

There's such a low cost to dying that while I avoid it, I don't really get too worried if I do. And if you're hit with one of the instant kill moves it doesn't matter either way.

Better get either the Valiant or Valkyrie later today. Want me a new Assault Rifle or Sniper.

Just died there, the 2 team mates i had who were alive did not revive me and spent 2 minutes ignoring the hack objective which guaranteed we failed.

Turns out you can't get a Valkyrie in the Commendation packs, it was only a pre-order exclusive for single player.

I got mine, got an upgrade for my Valiant. Quite happy with that, as it's my favourite weapon by far!

Really? Some people posted on the Penny Arcade forums saying they got the rifles.

Nearly have my Quarian Engineer up to a decent level for gold runs. It's very annoying when team mates cannot recognise hacked geths

Uhm, you realise that a Prime stays hacked for all of a few seconds, right? Your team is absolutely correct to beat the hell out of it while they can. If there are two primes and they're only shooting the hacked one then that's a bit silly I suppose, but you should decide right now that the main purpose of your hacking ability is to paralyse enemies for a short while with an added bonus that they might shoot a bad guy too - it is unreasonable and doomed to frustration to expect people to keep track of which ones you have hacked or not hacked and avoid shooting them for the three seconds they'll be on your side.

Still haven't gotten my Commendation Pack

Neither have I. Apparently there were plenty of people last time that didn't get them but were supposed to, so it is looking like we were the unlucky ones this time.

Such a buggy game.

The most annoying thing is when they kill your Rocket Troopers. They stay hacked for a good while and can really decimate clusters of Troopers.

I just booted it up to try and load in a modded ME2 save. Still not finding my character even though I followed the mod to the letter.

Regardless of that though I noticed there was an update applied the last time I booted it. It didn't make any difference in detecting my character.

I'm going to have to buy ME2 on the cheap I reckon. I may actually give it a play through again before starting 3 for the craic.

Just found this on the Bioware forums

Hi all,

We granted the Victory and Commendations Packs from Operation Raptor last night but this morning it was identified that many people were using an exploit to get multiple packs. In order to stop the problem we had to suspend the granting of packs immediately. We are currently working on a fix for this issue. We will restart the granting of packs once this issue has been fixed.

If you want to send me the save file, i could try loading it into my game, and see if i could then send you a ME3 save at the very start? Not sure if it would work though.

Varik

Got my N7 weapons legit so hope they take these back off the people doing it.

I'll try anything at this stage. PM me your email address.

Much appreciated.

I just picked the prime as an example! I shoot my own Prime as soon as he is hacked. My point is, when you hack one geth in a group of three, I get muppets who will kill the hacked geth first :rolleyes:

With hacking and decoys, and a team that know what they are doing, gold is a doddle.

So we have to wait until the Summer for some extra cut scenes at the end which we all know will be pulled out of someone's arse?

I don't get your point exactly. Are you annoyed at the length of time it may take, who will possibly be making said content or the fact that it's required at all?

Totally agree on the last point but complaining about the rest is ludicrous.

Zero-Cool

Thought I had posted that on the endings thread. Anyway, ah it's just crap they have to try make something up and how the hell are they going to make something that will please everyone. There are just going to be more people complaining about whatever decisions are made.

Plus, I'm almost finished insanity so won't be playing this for some time so to boot it back up in a few months just to watch another ending will be a bit strange. They are gonna have a field day on the official forums guessing what it will be about until it's actually out.

is there a thread specifically for who's playing me3 online on a daily basis??

degrassinoel

sound... I'd say it's alot less buggy on pc alright!

degrassinoel

it's not without it's flaws, i've spent 90k credits on the premium spectre packs more than once and not gotten anything - not so much as a medigel. Then there's the vanguard death-charge-bug, the cover blocking fire bug, and all sorts of other mad things..

It's not as bad as it sounds though, those bugs are few and far between for me at least

Am sure it's similar for all formats with minor bugs.
Have PS3 users gotten to do any operations yet or is EA still in talks with Sony about that?
