So, how much multiplayer do you have to play for your war readiness to go up? Also, does it matter that my galaxy at war map always says offline whenever I click on multiplayer? I've added 1 level 20 to my war assets list already.

It doesn't take too long. One 2-3 hour session can boost your readiness percentage to around 90%. Just don't forget that it drops over time.

tiesto · « **Reply #671 on:** March 27, 2012, 08:40:08 AM »

Yeah I was playing for 2 hours and I'm already up to 74%. Gonna try and get 100% in all the zones to get that achievement... should have that done either today or tomorrow. Multi is surprisingly fun even though there's not a lot of areas to go to (and they are just the N7 maps from the regular game)... the community is surprisingly decent and friendly. Guess I'm used to playing CoD where people drop N-bombs like they're at a Klan rally or trash talking fighting game players...

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #672 on:** March 27, 2012, 12:44:55 PM »

In co-op games people tend to be a bit friendlier but I've been in some matches with dicks before here also. Also people will sometimes boot you from a lobby if you aren't high level enough.

I've played one match with someone who used a Krogan character and he really played like a fucking Krogan. Easily killed the weaker enemies, tried to fight strong enemies all by himself and would get killed, kept running off alone, and never revived fallen teammates. Fucking boshtet...

So, apparently there is a bug in the game affecting multiple people. The Galaxy At War map will always say offline, even though you can play multiplayer games. The games don't help your single player at all, and any character you move over once they reach level 20 doesn't count either.

Luckily there is a fix for it, but if you don't go to the bioware forums and find it you cant up your readiness level at all.

He does like two songs for the entire OST. It's super misleading for them to have said he was doing the score.

A few weeks ago, a Mass Effect 3 protester named El_Spiko decided to make a federal case out of his revulsion over the ending to the beloved franchise. He filed a complaint with the FTC accusing Bioware and EA of false advertising.

Lawyers told me that El_Spiko didn’t have a leg to stand on, and that all of the statements made by Bioware and EA were either legally acceptable “puffing –” i.e., a standard level of exaggeration engaged in by any salesman, or done in an interview setting that couldn’t be classified as true advertising.

The Better Business Bureau, however, disagrees. On a blog post on its website, Marjorie Stephens argues that those responsible for Mass Effect 3 are indeed guilty of false advertising. She points to two particular claims on the Mass Effect website as proof:

“Experience the beginning, middle, and end of an emotional story unlike any other, where the decisions you make completely shape your experience and outcome.”

“Along the way, your choices drive powerful outcomes, including relationships with key characters, the fate of entire civilizations, and even radically different ending scenarios.”

The argument that she makes is that both are absolute statements, and can thus be considered false. Both statements are also, however, up to a gigantic amount of interpretation – for example, one could argue that your choice to push a certain button or not does indeed drive the outcome, even if it’s in an unsatisfying way.

But despite some qualification, BBB is willing to go there: “The issue at stake here is, did Bio Ware falsely advertise? Technically, yes, they did.”

yep, i did it awhile ago, dunno if they took it out with the patch tho. iirc you have everyone join a party, then play a bronze game against cerberus; after completing the objective on round ten but BEFORE killing all the enemies you let everyone die. back in the lobby you switch the game to geth and gold difficulty. start the game, and before "wave 1" appears on screen have the leader quit. the game will restart; have someone invite the leader back in. when the map loads back up you should be in wave 10 again. complete the objective (using the one-hit-kill rockets works great here) and have everyone die off again before killing the enemies. then you just repeat the cycle of start game -> have leader quit -> invite leader back -> complete objective without killing all enemies -> commit suicide.

it's boring but you get hundreds of thousands of dollars in an hour. very helpful for the shitty random weapon upgrade system. again tho, i dunno if they patched it out.

Man, the quality of players online since they put out the resurgence pack has been terrible. I had started playing on gold because silver wasn't much of a challenge anymore, but now I'm struggling on silver matches with the teammates that I've been getting. Me and Positive Touch tried 3 silver matches last night and didn't complete one. These are high leveled players too. I'm guessing that everyone is trying out their new classes/weapons or something.

just got one of the batarian characters; he's melee-focused like the new krogan character which means he is AWESOME. he can't teleport around the map, but i upgraded his melee attack so much that his charge attack can one- or two-hit kill almost anything. nothing like walking up to one of those sword-toting assholes and smashing their face wide open. only problems are that he can't run into a group (at least on gold mode) and that asshole sniper teammates like to pick off my targets before i can get to them.

go with an engineer. you can easily strip away shields, do decent damage, and set up a probe that fights for you. just make sure you equip a very lightweight weapon like an smg so your powers recharge fast.

oh. well in that case... god no. infiltrator is total shit, and it barely builds up your readiness level. you can download something for free called the mass effect 3 datapad that has a minigame that SLOWLY lets you build up your readiness level. if you start it right now you MIGHT have your levels high enough by the time you finish the game.
