Anyone else play ME3 multiplayer?

If so, do you play it on PC or console?

What are your experiences with it?

I started playing a while ago with some friends. There's one friend, about the same skill level as me, who I play with once a week or so. I'm getting annoyed by the fact that even though we are on the lowest challenge level (Bronze), we keep getting really experienced players in our games and they take all the kills, give me very little chance to practice, and take all the points and XP. I feel like they should be playing on higher challenge levels if they're earning ten times the score of other players...is this a typical thing in this game? :/ Is there any way to filter for players around the same skill level as me? I really want to get better by practicing, but I feel like the way it is right now I can't practice much.

On a related note, if anyone plays ME3 on Origin (and is more-or-less a noob with Multi), would you like to play together sometime? :3

I played on PC for a little bit a year ago. I had fun, though "teamwork" is basically dead as a concept.

I suppose I could reinstall the game if you wanted to play. :) I'm usually on Steam, though, so send me a DW PM.

Yeah. Totally agreed with what you said about "teamwork". There's not a lot of coordination, and the person who's the best player pretty much never talks to anyone else. :(

The only reason I even have Origin is for ME3 lol. I still wish Steam carried it instead - Origin is such a pain.

Feel free to add me on Steam. I'm not on all the time - it really depends - but I'm much more likely to be online there than Origin at any given time. My username on Steam is exactly the same as here (including the underscore).

Added! If it looks like a joke account, it's mine -- I've been having a ball with something someone called me a couple weeks back and it takes a while to get it out of my system.

you can open origin in steam and thus use the steam chat, you know.

just sent you an invite.

? I've never heard of doing that. What's the benefit? All my friends who play ME3 play it on Origin. Steam chat is nice, but sadly it doesn't change the fact that I still have to use Origin.

Used to play it a lot (on the 360). But last I was on it was pretty much dead. I was pretty decent and my SO was MUCH better. He played all the time and got increasingly frustrated as other people stopped. He preferred to play on Gold (myself, I like silver) but Gold is nearly impossible to do by yourself. And so are some of the silver maps, with some classes. So you get the incredibly seasoned players in bronze matches because they don't have a chance to play in the difficulties that they want to.

ahhh. That kind of helps? but there seem to be no shortage of good players on Bronze. why can't they all collectively move up a level? :/

That I don't know. It might be different on the PC, but it took us a while to figure out how to get a match to start by yourself.

Hm. Maybe it's a totally different interface. It's pretty easy to host a match on PC.

I actually thought it was the most fun part of Mass Effect 3.

Although that might be an unpopular opinion.

I use to play a TON of ME3 multiplayer (PC), enough so that I have the best of the best placard, and all but the ultra rare items maxed. Only really stopped because I was getting tired of the store's RNG crap, and I had no one to play with.

That's so odd that you're getting that many high level people in bronze. Because unless they are trying out some brand new class or play style, they really have nothing to gain from bronze: both xp and credits are more bountiful on more silver up, and you can get the bronze level achievements/challenges by playing on higher level difficulties. Sorry to here that there appears to be that many skilled people taking your kills. Grant it I wasn't playing that much bronze even months before I stopped so that may have been happening then too. Unfortunately besides setting up a private game and bringing your friends in, you can't really weed them out.

SA

Should mention that I'm not opposed to reinstalling the entire game to play/help you out, or to play with anyone else, just someone would need to say the word. Not sure how helpful I would be to you in your position atm, unless I play conservatively/handicap myself.

I only have one friend who's close to my skill level, so that's too bad. And yeah I don't understand why they're on Bronze...

ME3 multiplayer is VASTLY more enjoyable when you're just with friends. Playing with randoms always ends in you bleeding out and everyone else too busy getting kills to revive you.

The one thing I've noticed is that the game has a very strange way of crediting killing blows to someone else. Their scoring is also somewhat unfair, too. I've gotten a big mob from full health to two bullets from dead and someone swoops in to grab the kill and I get a measly 100 point assist reward for my time.

So, just keep at it, and you'll get where you're going. Hopefully, the booster packs are a little more forgiving about giving out good stuff on the regular now, because it was frustrating as hell to save up for several of the 99000 credit packs (or actually spend money on it) and get character boosts for your human basic characters.

Yeah, I've noticed that, and I've had a great time playing with 3 of my friends, but it's hard to get us all together at the same time. And it can be tricky playing with just 2 of us for...reasons. I have one friend who's really, really, REALLY good and tends to do the "take all the kills" thing. For a simplified explanation.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. It's dumb. I get giving someone a bonus for the killing blow, but you should get an assist at least somewhat proportional to the damage you did. And I've had kills "stolen" from me that way.

There are a couple characters I really, REALLY want to unlock, but at the moment I'm mostly interested in weapons, because I'm still using a shitty basic Mantis and Avenger and I want something a bit better...
