    Nope, no naming. Granted no one could see your names in 3 but it was still kind of cool. RIP Dickpunch McGee, volus vanguard.

    It's so weird that they gave them faces, but we can't give them names anymore.

    I just gave my MP Asari Sentinel a name through the app. Apparently I can also change the description of the class?

    I don't ever remember seeing that option in game, though.

    You can name your MP characters in the App.

    I have no idea why, if you see it in game or what.

    Just thought it was interesting, since you can't (that I can tell) in game.

    Yeah I was able to set the name plate when I couldn't figure out a way to do that in game as well. What's that wailing and bitching? Yes it is the worst thing.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    There is equipment you can get for your strike teams on the app? I don't remember seeing that ingame, either. Time to save up mission funds and EVERYBODY GETS A MAKO!

    APEX HQ app now available from the Google store.

    Interestingly, as someone who hasn't registered their purchase yet (physical pre-order), I can recruit teams and earn rewards.

    Yeah, I just got Apex downloaded, connected to my PS4 account which doesn't unlock until Midnight, and recruited a team and have them running missions. I actually think its really awesome, as all of a sudden I have this immersion where shit is going on even before my Ryder has awoken from Cryo.

    Yup it looks like it could be a useful app just have to wait till I actually get into the game to get a bit more use out of it. Plus side I can see some of my preorder and loyalty bonus stuff is sitting waiting for me to get in game hehe.

    Wait I just realized something while setting up the app... the andromeda initiative website doesn't allow me to pick which account it's logged into(PC, XBOX, PS). Is that going to matter? It shows my PC name in the top right but I'm going to play the game on PS4. Will I still get the reward for PS4? I tried logging out but it just drops me right back into my PC account name. Maybe it's just linked through the email and that's all that matters?

    You can definitely set strike team equipment in the game.

    It isn't cheap though.

    I don't know what else mission points are used for, aside from recruiting new strike teams, so maybe its worth it?

    I would like to know if recruitment is the only way to get new strike teams, or if you get some in the course of the SP game or something. Or if retiring them is actually useful, if it gives you some reward, or access to better teams or something.

    I definitely had an option to choose my Xbox account over my PC account after I first signed in.

    Have you linked your PS4 account to EA yet?

    edit: oh you are talking about the website. Yeah all that matters there is your email. You'll get the rewards on all platforms you have accounts on.

    Arg. Apparently custom matches don't count towards you APEX extraction for the tutorial. That's bunk. So far nearly every other match I've joined has been a mess of rubber banding all over the place.

    I would like to know what does, honestly. One of the last things I did before my trial ended was send an Apex strike to multiplayer and did it directly from where the game sent me, full extraction, and it didn't count.

    The characters in DA:I are all ... less than attractive, I assumed that was a thing Bioware was now doing. If it's purposeful, kudos kinda.

    Saw the one sex scene with male ryder and the human female companion, literally bad porno. "I'm here to fix your lighting...." "But I don't have any lighting?!" *bad porn bass guitar starts to play* The highlight are his eyes being crossed and looking everywhere but at her in the lead up to the scene. Could not stop laughing.

    One quick note, I pre-ordered through GMG, and still don't have my key. This, however, has not prevented me from downloading the APEX app and recruiting teams and running missions in the meantime.

    Thanks. It says I'm unsupported with my tablet. So maybe I'll check in later to see if that's changed.

    Hmm. After going back to ME3MP I'm actually not sure which one I prefer. Mass Effect 3 has better melee, but fairly quickly I missed the vastly superior mobility of Andromeda. Also, even on an old GTX 770 it looks a lot better, the textures are way crispier. I would also say ME3 has much better sounding combo explosions but I'm gonna wait for some after-release footage to actually hear what they sound like in Andromeda.

    I meant it more to draw attention to the fact that people could still use the APEX app and get missions running in the meantime, despite not having the game activated on their Origin account yet.

    Mine had a list of my accounts on the various platforms when I did the initial setup and it recommended picking the one you use for multiplayer so I picked my PS4 account it looks like you can reselect by going to the lil person icon in the upper left of the app interface.
