Community AdminThanks for the feedback.
At this time when you hit 20 you can reset your level and get a global bonus for all your characters, so you can grow the passive stats of all your characters.
I don't have any details on what will be added later on, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's similar development to how ME3 MP went.
EA_David, are you sure about that? People have done testing and all it does is bump Apex rating a tiny bit, which is mostly completely useless. Are you thinking about Bonus Stats? because those are completely unrelated to resetting char level as implemented right now.
And what if you maxed out a char cap less and the matches become boring..you stop playing, starting a different game, whine till that games caps are removed aswell to move on again when it became bored. Instead of starting over at reached cap to try a different build and play a few month longer.
Hm what should EA do, modify the game so that you move on earlier and probably dont purchase all DLC´s because you lost the intresst in ME;A or leave the game like it is and earn more money from you? Difficult question, isnt it? Fakt is, the more you can reach in a single game, the less often you start a new one.
Community Admin@Alicondria Yes I was referring to Bonus Stats. I haven't had a chance to play enough MP to confirm it, but I was under the impression that the Bonus stat levels line up with hitting level 20? There's the little Apex rating bump, but I thought that hitting 20 will also give you just enough XP to gain a level of that kit's Bonus stat. Sorry if I'm misinformed here.
@Simpson3k As I understand the loop is more to build a "stable" of characters, and reset them from time to time to build up your base stats. Thank you for the feedback though.
I strongly disagree, the level 20 cap is there for good reason. It encourages you to try out different builds for the same character, wich can play very different. It worked well for ME3 and it works just as well for ME:A. In fact i think you get 1p more than in ME3 allowing for slightly different standard builds (For instance 6-6-6-6-1 instead of the old 6-6-6-5-3).
Also instead of resetting all characters of the same class you can now (only) respec individuals more easily without relying on the very limited number of random box-loot respecs in ME3. So that part is already easier.
sounds to me like you either dont know what "half" means or havent got any to rank 10. you can max all but a single skill! most do NOT have different skills either, theres very few passives to begin with and most characters have stealth, charge, pull.. just no, they all share skills with other classes.
My friends and I have tested the "reset" of a character. It does nothing but bump the APEX by 25. There is a different prestige section that counts all XP from the characters that add to that stat (whether they are level 20 or not) and you will get a bump when that hits the XP rating. However, the XP necessary to get a 1% increase is greater than the XP to get to level 20....
And then it is like 2X that to get the next bump. You will have to play A LOT of hours to get anything meaningful out of those stats. Also, if you don't really like those classes you are stuck not getting a bonus as you can't control where the XP goes - it is set by character.
Either tie to bonus stats to resetting a character like it was originally said to be - or allow us to play whatever character we want and let us pick where the XP goes. Those are my suggestions.
The little finger isnt enough Trollbar, hm? want the whole hand? XD

But honestly all I really want is to be able to max all my Multiplayer skill trees... feel like I'm playing only half a character no matter which way I spec.
I just realized something. Gawd i wish this game would be more transparent.
The amount of skill points you get for a class increases as you unlock higher "levels" for them through the character cards from shop boxes.
For instance my Human Female Soldier was one of the first chars played. I started with 2p at level 1, played her all the way to 20 and at 20 i had a 66653 setup with 1p left (hence my initial thought).
But meanwhile her character class increased to level X, and after resetting now she starts at level 1 with 25 points. And all the other level X classes i haven't played before also have 25p to start with now. So from there it should be no problem to max all skill trees at 20.
I do find this ill conceived, even if i'm alone in the matter..
I have the shield bonus stat at level 2 with 8mil xp, level 3 is at 12mil xp, and I have 3 level 20 chars and a lvl17 char that give progress for that stat. EA_ David, I'm afraid you're misinformed.
Also, thanks to this reddit thread, we now have an idea of how bonus xp progresses.
1 apex for resetting a character. you also cant max all trees with a rank 10 character you can max 4/5 though.
