Re: ME3 Legendary - New Game Plus - Credits are abysmal and insulting

@Sherryar

Credits should in fact carry over. I have a NG+ save file on Xbox Series X, I have not even left Earth, and I have 220k+ credits.

I see many different reports on credits completely getting wiped from save files, though they are generally connected to the Leviathan DLC (it happened to me as well, haven't found a way to reproduce the bug though).

This is the first time I see a post about NG+ credit wipe. Did your game start with absolutely no credits?

  • Sorry I should clarify.  There's a bug where if you save / quit sometimes your credits are wiped out.

    This one isn't so much of an issue however because I have multiple saves all the time.

    The main annoyance I have is how little credits are rewarded in ME3 Legendary.  

    I brokered peace between the Geth and Quarians? My reward a measly 25K credits or whatever.  I helped cure the genophage and my reward? Another measly 25K credits (I'm generalising the problem rather than specifically how many credits are rewarded - the point is, it's such an insulting reward for the work and hours you put into the game).

    I play on Insanity and I want to max out various upgrades and try out all the different weapons - is it really so much to ask for more credits?

    Bioware really need to consider how the whole credit rewards are handled and increase it based on difficulty played.  This is a remaster, at least let us enjoy it to its fullest potential.  At least half the weapons and items I don't even bother trying out because of this.

    If some people actually enjoy the measly amount of credits they get on a save the galaxy mission where finances would be a black hole of unlimited investment - give us the option to toggle more/less credits or something.  That should keep everyone happy.

    @Sherryar The only way to grind for credits is at the end of Citadel DLC and that is better played after Priority Horizon and doing everything. You should get 122k credits, or more depending on how you use them, and grind on the Arena.

    @draconiamBut getting all the credits at the end of the game what's the point? You already nearly finished it all now. The only way you can make use of it is doing a NG+. I heard of the Armax Arena and frankly I'm surprised Bioware haven't stopped it because they really seem to enjoy making Shepard a poor guy.

    Also I would need to grind for days to get the credits to upgrade weapons to level X on NG+.

    @Sherryar Upgrading everything is a poor choice honestly, by NG+ you should know what gear is your favorite for the class and just invest in leveling up the weapons you and your team uses as well the MOD on weapons.

    @draconiamThis assumes I've already tried out all the weapons and decided which are my favourites for which type of play style.  And keeping to the same build can get boring.

    @Sherryar Thats true but you can test them in the Spectre Requisition office when they are level one, then, if you bought them from the expensive terminal, reload and keep the ones you like at the time.

    @Sherryar Your welcome, I still agree that the money awarded vs the cost of the gear is way overblown.
