Changes you'd like to see in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer

[StriderShinryu]

More maps and more varied random objective waves.. but I wouldn't be shocked if either of these were coming.

What I would really like, and I'm not sure is just asking for something already in the cards, is a way to buy the stuff you want outright without having to get it randomly. Have it cost an arm and a leg to buy but make it so that if you want, say, the Quarian Infiltrator you can either get it via the random loot boxes or you can get it by grinding out 1000000 credits and just buying it. The random CCG element is actually cool and fun, IMO, but it shouldn't be the only way to get stuff.

Has anyone bought one of these new kinds of packs (that go for 20,000, I think)? What exactly is in them? I really am getting sick of not finding shotguns. I have to laugh every time a find another freaking sniper rifle.

These are actually kind of awesome and I would like to see some more of them for other categories. Basically they are equipment packs. Medi Gels, Rockets, Ammo Clips, those survival packs that give you your health and armor back and ammo types for combat. There may also be some armor and weapon rails. Not sure, I have only bought one. If you are planning on tackling gold and/or have the weapons and characters you want already, I'd say buy a bunch of these.

Oh. Sounds good, but I really just need another shotgun. I've got four characters near level 20 and the only shotguns I've gotten have been the Katana twice, and that's the shotgun you start with. I wish they had class (or play-style) specific packs. That way, I would at least stop getting so many items that are just completely irrelevant to me. I'm sure a bunch of people would have jumped for joy when they found the Javelin, but I just groaned.

give us the option to purchase what we want, if i use real money i dont want the outcome to be random, give me the option to buy a damn krogan.

A million times this, i'm tired of buying specter packs and getting everything BUT the damn Turian Sentinel. Seriously, the only thing I want and I get all the other classes and weapons first... >_<

I'd like to see more customisation, eg. different helmets and armor pieces, more levels, maybe some different game types, and possibly the option to level up your weapons, without having to randomly get them in a pack.

This too, I think that it would make the multiplayer Infinitely better to be able to use any of the armor pieces you obtained in ME3 to tweak your character out.

Haha Turian Sentinel was like my first ever unlock..

But I have't ever unlocked another character since

[my friend's lvl 15 soldier can't even handle Silver yet (I think he's just a pussy ).

Either that, or it's because he's using the Soldier class. It sucks.

When fighting anyone but Cerberus yes. But the soldier seems tailor made for fighting Cerberus.

Not really. The Drell Adept and Quarian Infiltrator are significantly better - Soldiers don't have Pull to spam on Guardians which means they have to take time to kill them, or waste a grenade. Infiltrator can one-shot Phantoms and use Sabotage on Turrets to make mincemeat of other units.

Plus, Cerberus like to ball up more than the others, meaning Area Reave will practically make you invincible, and Cluster Grenades become as effective as Frags.

Oh. Sounds good, but I really just need another shotgun. I've got four characters near level 20 and the only shotguns I've gotten have been the Katana twice, and that's the shotgun you start with.

I'm sure a bunch of people would have jumped for joy when they found the Javelin, but I just groaned.

Heh, I'm only level 19 (though 50 on the N7 level), but I have a Geth Plasma Shotgun, Graal Spike Thrower, Katana X, Eviscerator I and Scimitar I.

I'm sick of getting SMGs and Snipers though, as well as useless upgrades for them. I want an extended barrel for my already overpowered Geth Plasma Shotgun!

 

[distortedreality]

I thank god that I've FINALLY started finding upgrades for my Mantis sniper rifle...but a friend of mine found a frickin' WIDOW! And he doesn't even play Infiltrator! *fumes with nerd-rage*

Heh, I got a Widow and I play as a Vanguard.

Better controls for the PC.
Screw this one-button-does everything crap. I have a keyboard!
Seperate buttons for jump, sprint & activate please.
I have lost alot of stages because my character decided to take cover instead of reviving that dead squadmate next to me. Not to mention getting trapped in cover-mode, when you really just want to get the hell out of there. You try to press space to disable cover/roll away... Just to roll into another worthless cover position 2 meters away.

Allow me to use the mouse to change the direction I'm going when sprinting.

Revise the pre-game UI to include a chatbox. Not everyone has a microphone. It is impossible to communicate with certain people - when you're missing a feature that has been a common stable in almost every (pc) multiplayer game for the last 15 years!

Bigger maps and bigger teams. 6 people sound good. Divide into two groups; Group A secures objective 1, allowing Group B to advance to, and hold, objective 2, etc.

I'll respectfully disagree. Concussion Shot on a ~2 second recharge is sweet.

A decent Epilogue. That is all.

The game was borderline perfect besides that.

Oh. I wouldnt mind a holster feature.

Youuuuuu bastard!

Yeah, evidently my friend just got a BLACK frickin' Widow last night...I swear I think the multiplayer is rubbing it in my face. However it cuts both ways: he plays a soldier and mostly uses the assault rifle and has been stuck with the standard issue one since the game started. I, on the other hand, have unlocked the Revenant and Geth Pulse Rifle, which pisses him off to no end as well.

And on a Captcha note: I appreciate having it so that we can actually see/read what the hell we're supposed to type...but what's up with typing advertisements?

Nerf Charge+Nova. It takes the risk out of high risk, high reward. And I'll agree with everyone else about random unlocks, and customizable armor.

People don't play Vanguard for "High risk, high reward"; we play it to be the melee range Space Wizard.
And Nova is quite risky since it consumes your barrier.

I know, but high risk, high reward is how it's supposed to be. Nova would have that risk, but you can instantly charge again and refill your barrier. That's why it's broken. You can chain together charges and novas without having to worry about anything but killing everyone.

 

[Zenron]

I want to be able to play as any race as any class. I REALLY wanted to play as a turian/krogan vanguard, but it's kind of limited.

Also, Elcor needs to be a playable race. Mass Effect 3 was just generally lacking in the elcor department.

A thousand times this! Now I want to get my Elcor Vanguard on.
...then once I've maxed out the Elcor Vanguard I can focus on my Hanar Soldier build.

Elcor don't fight like traditional classes according to the lore; they fight with VI assisted turrets on their backs.
I would like to see a Hannar use 8 pistols at once and use it's grip and toxins to incapacitate foes.

Or the Hanar could incapacitate you by going on and on about it's religion until your eyes glaze over. Or it could go anime tentacle style on enemies leaving them huddled in the corner wondering what the hell just happened.

One word: Blasto.

Make that shit happen.

Except when charge refuses to work for no damn reason. Which is quite frequently.
Plus then there's the bouncing Vanguard bug. Oh how I hate that bug.

lol that could very well be the case. I'll keep that in mind and let him know he's playing a worthless class.

It is super dependent on good weapons. I really want to play my Turian soldier but I have realized there is no point until I get a godmode assault rifle. I hear the Revenant is only good when in the hands of a Turian with marksman

That was always my problem with the Revenant...yeah, it's powerful as all hell, but good luck hitting anything with it. That's why I prefer the good ol' Sniper Rifle. Seriously, I would kill someone - in front of their own mother - to get a Widow in multiplayer. O.O

I'll trade for the Asari Adept. I swear I unlocked that thing like 4 times in the demo and haven't seen anyone that has her since the game launched! At least I have the Carnifex

i got both of those

i loveeee the carnifex, that is my go to gun in this game! (oddly enough i refused to touch it/heavy pistols in me 1 and 2...i thought they were shite)

OT: maybe i'm stupid and don't know how, but i would like the option to text chat with my team, as most people don't seem to have mics and its easy to text chat anyways? especially in the lobby.

also, would like customizations better, and perhaps if you max out your skills or something, you can trade one of them for another skill in the same class (like get rid of combat drone for cryo blast) but you would have to start all over on your skills for making that trade. idk, think it could be cool to mix match some characters powers.

i still think the vanguard is overpowered..but doesn't bug me too much yet, what DOES bug me however is how damn hard it is to upgrade your damn guns on bronze/silver type credits you get, my goodness my weapons haven't been leveling at all

also, perhaps some new game modes, kind of like capture the flag, or breach, hold, then book it back to base.
