@Xx-Gimmle-xXExactly. It's a shame what they did to Mass Effect and it's a shame that all good people at BioWare are gone. This wouldn't have had happen if Casey Hudson would be still the producer. Okay, we would have a sh*tty ending, but the rest of the game would be okay. Unfortunately he decided to work for Microsoft...
Maybe if we help start an easier to read catalog of the issues on a site like a github repo with a readme etc? That would allow us/them to see what has been checked/fixed/etc ?
See my thread in Game Info:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Setting-up-a-Github-Repo-for-issues/m-p/6043668
If there are people interested, i'll be happy to open a github repo and add anyone who wants to contribute.
I can't start Out of the Frying Pan mission after settling on Kadara. The guy who gives you the mission is standing in the dock area. Name is Grayson Wessler
Not sure if that's a bug or since I chose Reyes as leader, and the guy giving me the mission was an Outcast, then he might have gotten killed during the raid to kick the Outcasts from Kadara.
Anyways, after killing Sloane and completing the High Noon mission, he is gone from where he was. Same goes for the other Outcast guys you're supposed to talk to for the mission (eg. Krogan warden near the exit to the Slums).
If someone wants to start a github they can try, but the chances of the devs using anything like that is slim I'd say. Also, to hopefully make Bioware and EA sit up and get their acts together heres a review I dug up from ACG, pretty much sums everything up in 12 mins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzJc6jo-0XA&list=PL62tz83FJJjlP-rz4qKNts3Kwf3iwhbpG&index=11
@ketxxx LOL I loved the last part : "I can play 60 hours of mass effect andromeda or flick my nuts for 60 hours, I can, it doesn't mean I want to" I was laughing my head off.
Edited spolier alert, if you didn't finish the game don't read:
@Xx-Gimmle-xX, lol yeah ACG is good at telling it like it is. I really hope Bioware / EA has sat up and taken notice.
Another bug.... and a really fkn bad one I know everyone has encountered but theres so many damn bugs has just been forgotten about by us... On Voeld, the mission you pick up to take out the main kett base, the room you have to turn off / hack a bunch of consoles while fighting every kind of kett enemy, the fires that start when taking the consoles out causes seizure inducing what seems to be light flickering. If anyone knows what I mean and can tell me the name of that mission and generally some more details that would be great so I can add it to the first post.
Mike Gamble posted on twitter earlier that the next patch is being dropped tomorrow so hopefully a lot more issues will be fixed.
@iFail_v_B34STLY, we can hope. I so want MEA to be good, but I think theres too many issues and everyone is just going to forget about it. You really couldn't blame anyone for doing so. It will be a test to see just how much Bioware and EA really care about MEA.
I used to love Mass Effect, MEA has released with so many bugs and balancing issues it has completely ruined the game for me and thats not even getting to things like the dodgy animations, random FPS tanking for no reason (especially on the Tempest) and poorly written story with uninspired musical score.
Prove my suspicions wrong Bioware, show you care about Mass Effect.
FYI folks I checked metacritic earlier today the PC version of MEA has a rather unimpressive 73 critic score and 4.9 rating user score. Ouch.
@ketxxx tomorrow's patch will probably say :
1. nomad shield crafting quest reported fixed.
2. minor bug issues.
and with that we will have to wait for another 3 months for them to start moving their * to fix all the problems.
I want to know when the MAJOR bugs are being addressed, even if they just write down that they are looking into it, or that they solved it and it is ready for release on next patch.
I don't care, I just want to know.
I do agree with you though, this ME game ruined the series for me as well. but hey, I am back to playing ME1 so GO SHEPARD!!
@Xx-Gimmle-xXI bloody hope not! If it does all it will show is that the animators have been working their arses off for the cutscenes (supposedly theres going to be heavy work on them thats ongoing) while the rest of the team has sat around with their thumbs up their arses and not bothered with any bug fixing. Also Bioware, I'll say it plain, graphically MEA looks sh!t this is Frostbite3 you are using you should be utterly ashamed of how 70% of this game looks.
Also, I forgot to mention it in my last post but critics went WAY too easy on MEA, not many reviewers had the balls to call it out for what it is but I'm glad a few did at least.
FYI guys the MEA patch is coming down for me now. Its 1.29GB. You can fix a lot of bugs in a patch that size... but probably not animations. We shall see. For the love of god the falling through levels and weapon balancing issues better be fixed.
Patch Notes for 1.06:

Combat Balance for 1.06
http://blog.bioware.com/2017/05/09/patch-1-06-combat-balance-updates/
Looks like they patched quite a bit, not all of the issues listed here but a good number of items including a few we didn't post.
@Pyro411 Most of those patch notes are piddly things it would seem but perhaps theres a bunch of issues fixed but not listed. No mention of a fix for * like falling through the level when melee attacking or any mention about weapon balancing in single player, only multiplayer. In all honesty the amount of stuff they fixed in what is it now? 2 months? Is really not that much.
Let's try to be positive though... who hasn't had their will to play this game completely squashed and can test the patch with a standard game and NG+? I'll be able to removed fixed problems from the first post then.
@ketxxx I've been waiting for the AVP fix which they say they fixed, so I am going to restart the game, as my current game is * up broken.
So any fix I see I'll let you know. let's hope the next patch will come sooner than later.
I hoped they would also fix the MP issue where pushing enemies out of bounds result in the last shooter to receive the kill, but I guess we will have to wait for that one.
