Wrapped up the challenge in two rounds, one silver, then a gold. For both I used my Krogan Shammy with an Acolyte.
Acolyte and Shockwave... Exercise in whiffing.
Also, since when the fuck does Shockwave only knock over ONE enemy? This stupid power plowed through so many groups of cannibals and only ever knocked over a single dude each cast, with the rest just doing a brief stagger animation. Has it always been like this, and I've just never noticed? Shouldn't they ALL have been sent flying? Bleh.
This was a little too easy... a couple of silver reapers and it was done. They could easily have made this 50k or 100k against banshees. Anyway, got a valkyrie V. Ho hum.
Uhm yeah no? The guy wasn't misquoted and I confronted him about it on the BSN and he never replied.
I looked at the files myself and said what I found - lines for a few weapon mods and the BPP challenge. I absolutely don't claim that I didn't make mistakes and I really am no professional on this - but Cyonan, the guy who knows more about the game than the Devs themselves, does a lot of tests on game mechanincs and code digging - confirmed only what I found.
In short: The "leaker" is a silly goose who spreads misinformation - he was never misquoted - and for some reason a lot of people fall for it.
The leaked "description" for Reckoning has yet to be proven wrong or right, it could very well be made up.
It baffles me how mere rumors and even lies are taken as source for information from gaming journalists like that.
I didn't realize til today you were one of the guys who digged into these things.
The reason I posted that link is it seems the only things people can agree upon being released in the DLC as of now are the new weapons, the mods, and the title. The rest is just speculation. Is that how you see it?
Well, none of the datamined stuff has to say anything. As even one Dev pointed out, it could be stuff from even before they started working on Retaliation that has long since been dropped. Even if it's newer stuff it doesn't confirm a new DLC at all.
The closest thing to any official word on a new DLC we have is the "prophecy" by OTS who's proven himself to be trustworthy.
Officially we don't even know that there is another DLC comming. I'm sure they'd have clarified that ages ago was this the case, plus we got that ominous statement "Two for the price of one" regarding the teaser images, so they've at least hinted at it.
I'm sure we'll know more next week as Chris Priestly thinks they can reveal more info by then.
Speaking of new game modes, lately I've been thinking of things I'd like to see in the next game. Mainly minor things, but stuff that's probably too big a change to have a real shot at being included in a patch.
Finally getting rid of the Do Everything Button.
Being able to equip multiple weapons of the same class. Not referring to dual-wielding. But if you want to equip two pistols, or two assault rifles, go ahead, even if they're the same weapon. Let people carry a Typhoon along with a backup Typhoon if they want.
More race-specific weapon/power bonuses. A couple that make sense to me:
Drell having a RoF and Accuracy bonus.
Krogan having stability and ammo capacity bonuses.
Quarians having shield-recharge delay and/or tech recharge bonuses.
Haven't played around with the ini's for 3 because of the whole origin bans thing, but in 2 it was quite possible to split the action button. Running, covering, and the other thing were all separate actions, you just needed to create a dummy category to separate them out and bind them
You won't get banned for altering the control scheme. I did it when the game came out, and I've continued to restore my changes when patches are released.

Yep, splitting the omni button is confirmed as a-ok by devs.
They only give a shit about actual cheating, and even then they won't bother to ban people unless that cheating actually happens during a game (hacking credits probably won't result in a ban, but unlimited health/ammo probably would).

Nah.. they do ban people if it's discovered that they're hacking credits or otherwise modding lobbies.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
So I haven't played in about a month or so. Have I missed any big changes? I found out the Acolyte now has the charge up again, but it didn't throw me off too much.
Ugh, such bullshit. Got done burning down a Banshee, then I got two-shotted by a Ravager across the map before I could move. The instant I was rezzed, a Marauder punched me, then another Banshee instakilled me. In all that time, there was precisely nothing I could do. Instakills are bullshit, ludicrous amounts of damage dealt in a very short time are irritating, and being completely vulnerable the instant you get up is stupid.
Sweet, bumped my Crusader up a level. I've been using that and the Hurricane on my Destroyer today and I'm pretty happy with the results. Gold headshot medals by wave six all day long.
What's with the new popularity of KroSents? I took mine out for a spin a few days ago and he was like a murder machine. Now I'm Furying it up with two of them.
How do I upgrade my gear? I only just got Grenade Capacity II, and I'd really like better than that, along with pretty much everything else. The only one I have maxed is the Expert package (SMG damage and power recharge).

Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

Beats me. I never see any except myself.
The whole "I'm aware of what cover is, I just don't see how it applies to me" aspects of the class are fun.

Strange, I have Expert maxed as well, but nothing else even close.
Shadowhope on

Wow, drop Lita Ford and this is what I did. In hindsight, that would've been a good addition.
Got the challenge by wave 8 of a single gold match, using my huntress. I love her ridiculous power damage bonuses.
I was going to post this exact same thing earlier. The fact that you can lay on a Warp and a Dark Channel, and walk away, knowing that a Banshee will die within 30 seconds...well, it's a thing of beauty.

Being able to go 'fuck weight, I'm turning this guy into an artillery platform that punches things' has its merits.
Well at the very least it sounds a tiny bit more plausible with the new coop mode being related to the single-player DLC. I'd think they're gonna reuse as many SP DLC assets as possible to save time and resources, so I don't think we get something completely new JUST for MP. Then again, we haven't seen collectors in singleplayer at all, nor any of the hazard effects.
I just really hope we won't get another information delay from Chris Priestly (originally, they planned to release more info this week, not next).

Acolyte and Shockwave... Exercise in whiffing.
Also, since when the fuck does Shockwave only knock over ONE enemy? This stupid power plowed through so many groups of cannibals and only ever knocked over a single dude each cast, with the rest just doing a brief stagger animation. Has it always been like this, and I've just never noticed? Shouldn't they ALL have been sent flying? Bleh.

sometimes they can get boned when one of those dudes is a swarmer or some shit
is shockwave like that?
i can't remember how much a banshee is worth though, so for all i know a gold banshee is like 5000 points
I kind of want to write a few scenes with a vorcha soldier, demolisher, geth trooper, and drell infiltrator

A full solo kill on a banshee on gold is something along the lines of 2400 ish?
Should be, I haven't done the challenge yet but my usual banshee kills are worth 1.5k-2K using my infiltrators.
~2000 points, plus or minus.
Nah.. they do ban people if it's discovered that they're hacking credits or otherwise modding lobbies.
Saw a FemShep BotB today.
Decided I don't like the Raider shotgun.
You're not kidding. Just walked up and grabbed me from behind.
How is this possible? They're huge and shake the screen when they walk. But it's true. Scary true.

Somehow, enormous bloodthirsty creatures are very capable of being as quiet as field mice when they want to be.
Anyone who's ever been to the Un'Goro Crater knows all about it.
Come to papa.
Welp.
awwww damn.

disnae sound very plausible to be honest but i thought folk might at least be interested in knowing the rumour exists
