Agreed on the lack of diversity of the planets / weather patterns, at one point I was expecting a massive downpour on the jungle planet to finish the massive rainforest motif going on with that planet only to never see a drop of rain.
I could see why the weather patterns may be limited on consoles due to limited resources, but seriously the option should be there.
For the empty store in NG+ are you between levels 61-70? That's a bug numerous people have come into, basically 1 tier weapons/armor refusing to spawn right. -- This effects not only vendors but the item crates as well.
Another thing broken in NG+
Special/Mission items are not removed from your inventory so it causes certain continuity errors in game "Vague to avoid posting spoilers"
Now something I saw in 1.04 but am not sure if its in 1.05
Relationships don't seem/feel fluid or real much at all... it's all just a "Paint by numbers & Connect the Dots" mashup to get to the fireworks with X before basically getting ignored after that scene.
There's plenty more but it's all been posted to death on the bugs forum so I'll bite my tongue for now 🙂
@Sollabe, Jesus christ how in the hell has Bioware managed to add more bugs to this game? Even as a digital buyer I'm certain I have a strong case for pursuing a refund according to trading standard laws in the UK. I am seriously considering that rout to investigate as there are MANY other games that aren't buggy pieces of shat, I could of spent that £37 on far better games.
Out of curiosity has anyone emailed EA tech support and linked them to this thread? I think lots of people need to so as many people as possible see this thread to try and get MEA fixed as at this rate after another patch or two I can see EA just giving up with this game and the only people who lose out is us in that scenario because those thieving * from EA have already made off with our money.
I am very understanding about programming because its easy to create a bug when fixing another in a very complex program, and I imagine its the same here. I am frustrated however, I have gotten a lot of good hours out of this game, but I don't know how things can completely break like this, not sure what is actually under the hood of the last update but yea. I am not looking for a refund or anything, I just want it fixed so I can keep going, figured I would post here since your thread is hot. Meanwhile back to doing my college classwork I guess.
BTW on another thread of my issue they did contact support and the advice was reinstall the game on the PS4, didn't work. ☹️
Sadly clearing the cache, reloading, new game file, etc are going to be VERY common answers especially if you're stuck with having to go through the ladder of techs...
Depending on the structure, you're likely to get this
Level 1 - Reading from a script with no variances
Level 2 - Reading from a different script
Level 3 - Actual troubleshooting
Level 4 / Engineer 1 - Advanced Troubleshooting / early debugging processes
It would be great to file a lawsuit against this lazy company for releasing an unfinished game. The latest patch wasn't a "patch." It was more like an attempt to bring the game closer to it's original design. And yet, it screwed up the game even more. Furthermore, I agree with an earlier post about the Angara and Kett being concept designs and not refined. In addition, I'll just cut this short and am agreeing with everything BexisaFan wrote ...EA, a bunch of * amateurs.
In Single Player: I am on Kadara and the game freezes whenever I get close to the SOS mission.
Multiplayer: I will lose connection to the match or I will host and other people will lose connection to the match. This is intolerable. Sure people can do strike missions on their own but that isn't what "multiplayer" means. Also, sound. I am really tired of being in the middle of a game and then my sound cuts out, the game uses sound cues for the waves and some enemies, like the Ascendant.
Full Game: FPS Drops; also read reports of people losing sound in Single-Player, I'm sure it has happened to me at least once.
I am upset at both the Developer and Stockholders for this "game." Stockholders don't know anything about game development and need to understand that they can't rush a game, otherwise you get Mass Effect: Brokendromeda. If they predicted that this game was supposed to be a big hit then the developers should grow a spine and tell the stockholders to back off.
Sometimes I wish game companies were like they were in the 90's. The games were actually finished before release. Or EA could take a page out of Blizzard's or Valve's book, REAL GAME DESIGN COMPANIES, and finish a game before it is released.
The quality of EA games drops significantly each year. If they don't pull their heads out of their *, this company will tank and I will laugh my * * off and rub it in their faces.
