March 13 Balance Adjustments
March 13 Balance Adjustments
Live now : Looks lke they really fucked around with the Sabatoge power plus made lots of Geth have more shields and health even on Bronze. In general I think this balance adjustment is to make fighting Geth less easy. They really beefed up the Pyro as if it wasn't pain in the ass enough to kill... hello 1000 extra points of armor O_o

Just means I'll set every gold match to Cerberus. Dunno why they bothered with this. An extra 15% xp is NOT worth the hassle.
A new special upgrade pack also dropped last night. It contains 5 Medigel, 5 Rockets, 5 Thermal clips, 5 health packs and a random equipment item.
Only 20,000 credits. For a limited time only. Great for when you need to stock up on medigels, and rockets. I think it end this monday.
Yea right? Everyone always seems out of either missles, medigels or something. Maybe it is just me.
"Increased max number of hacked enemies from 2 to 1"
"Delay before enemies can attack hacked robots increased from 2 to 8 seconds"
Wow, they really screwed up Sabotage. Why would they try to make it LESS fun?
I thought the Geth were a good amount harder to kill last night so the changes seem to be in full effect.
I bought one of the supply boxes. It said it was available for something like 127 hours so that's like 5 days from last night. It probably will disappear 11:59pm Sunday night or something. If you're going to do gold runs, seems like this is what you want to be buying to stock up.
Maybe then they will give us some "Character" boxes so I can unlock the rest of the characters or "Weapon" boxes so I can get the flippin Black Widow.
I want more AMMO BONUS packs dammit. I had 3 last night when I started, lost one when the fucking server fucked up and spit us out( lost power regen bonus, incindary ammo, and assault rail amp) and no credits to boot. Then the other 2 used up and nothing replenished. Damn, these are like fucking gold or something or so EA thinks. QUIT BEING SO TIGHT EA!!!!
You should save your consumables for silver/gold and not use them up doing Bronze. It does suck when the game kicks you out though and you loose your money, xp and consumables. I'm not sure how they could prevent that without it being exploited. Maybe if you quite a game and earn XP and Money , then the consumables you enabled are deducted as well but if you leave a game with no xp and money awarded such as a drop, your consumables aren't deducted.
LOL you are using consumables on Bronze? No wonder you are always bitching about being out!
SILVER!!!
The Tempest got a buff? This explains Scotch raping with it on Platinum last night.
