Just bought it today and it won't find my ME2 character and I've no longer got a copy of ME2 to fix the saves so it will.

Wait for a patch or abandon all my custom character/decisions etc.?

i wouldnt wait if i was you, but you could probably find a similar save on http://www.masseffectsaves.com/

i've used it a few times for both ME and ME2, works like a charm

Was just going to ask about this! Is mp the only way to improve the galactic readiness? I have the iPhone Datapad app but I can't figure out if it actually does anything or if I'm wasting my time.

You are wasting your time.
It really counts for diddly in the end, some simple aestethics is all really, nothing major, or relevant to the final ending(s)
I'm not gonna spoil it here, but suffice to say, if I was playing the game again, I wouldn't dedicate time to MP just to improve my readiness.
I had 6500 assets I think, and @ 50% from what I've read and found out...isn't a significant enough difference to warrant playing MP or anything else ( I bumped it up to 80% though to get over 5000) as I assumed it "would" make a difference

You can always save it at the last point, complete it, see for yourself , and then reload the last mission after getting more readiness if you really want.

Anyone know when the Raptor pack "rewards" come out? Got my two characters promoted (they were level 20 anyways so no actual work required for me!).

Congratulations on another successful N7 Operation!

We had a record number of soldiers promoted last weekend: over 350,000, shattering our previous community goal of 150,000.

Victory Packs and Commendation Packs will arrive no later than Wednesday April, 4th. Make sure to redeem them and begin training your new recruits. Operation Beachhead is scheduled to deploy next weekend, April 6th- 8th and will require expert trained soldiers to complete. Stay tuned for more information on Operation Beachhead later this week.

you'll get it, don't worry

cant see them doing a gold one just yet, considering its difficulty, especially with reapers it might not be an achievable goal.

Gold is damn hard. There's no particularly 'easy' enemy to go up against, as all of them have at least one troop that's really hard to kill.

Cerberus have those Phantoms that come in squads of ten by wave 8, not to mention the constant Atlases they throw at you.

Geth have those sneaky Hunters and Pyros that come up out of nowhere and ruin your day, while daddy Prime hits you with its cannons from across the map.

Reapers are just insane. You can't keep your focus on one enemy, because it's likely you'll be destroyed by another enemy that you didn't see. Typically happens when you're fighting a Banshee. Damn Ravagers....

I only have one more map to finish on Gold, and I don't know what one it is. I think it's Firebase Glacier, and the tight corridors on that map make it a death trap.

try firebase white, Geth as enemy on gold and go with a salarian engineer, human engineer and two randoms, all stay in the room at the bottom of the stairs behind cover and spam overload/drone/decoy and grab anything that gets too close to your cover.

Did about 6 gold matches like this last night all fully extracted.
By no means pro, but it works

For the random objectives we just stayed in the room for the targets, and moved together for the upload and the other thing. didnt use many cobras either. If everyones focuses on the primes its easy.

Which is why 90% of Gold missions are a total failure. Getting randoms to work together can be a nightmare at times. Much easier with people you know (obviously :P).

I've lost count of the number of bloody stupid vanguards who leg it out of a defensible position to do their one man army trick and ultimately get overwhelmed or their charge fails to work or whatever.

Incidentally, the Vanguard bug I've mentioned before (where you drop out of the map) doesn't seem to happen on the Tuchanka level with the 3 big cannons.
I did a solo bronze with 1 to tip myself over to level 20 and export it to the campaign. It was intense but brilliant fun.
Helped that I had the Geth plasma shotgun - best gun in the game for my money.

Which room is this?

The one with a stair leading down to it and another leading up to it or at the bottom of the 2 flights of stairs with the ammo.
