What I want in the next patch/DLC

Dear BioWare devs,

i see, it is a really great combination that i really appreciate. THE APEX Strike Team Missions!!

so i feel really sad, that it is only able to make 3 per day of them.

so i have some suggestions to increase the viability of these APEX missions to take more attention.

1st: make Strike team Missions playable for players: i was really sad that i cant see even Fight side by side with my strike team or even see them (maybe an IDEA for an OPERATIONS SECTION??)!! this would be so awesome if you could enable this. i can only send them to these missions. but i want to fight in these, too.

yes, what is the idea to Balance this part? well, we can reduce the amount of the Rewards that we can get. from 100 exp and credits for example, if you fight with your squad the amount of these rewards will be reduced to 25 exp and credits. (70-75% loss) the good thing is you can fight with them and affect the success or fail and therefore the rewarding would be reduced.

2nd: make more APEX missions appear every 2-4 hours: i was really sad to see that we can´t do more missions per day.

3rd: more varieties of mission types: it would be great to make some rescue missions or escort missions in this APEX missions. even more varieties we can do besides Wave based mission objectives.

in the strike team MISSIONS there are a good amount of viable missions (unfortunately not playable at the moment). i would even hope to get these regular Strike Team Missions playable.

blackjack and hookers 

Have the dancers, at the club in the slums of Kagara Port, be topless (nudity)

Upgrade Outpost and more different species as arks are rescued

Visible see Nexus being repair/upgrade

Have the species become more visible as you rescued the arks

Ability to sponsor a mission to recover the turian ark and other wreckage

Destructible Terrain by askavarian

Better Romance System by Pyrion

More lively Vortex and become for expansive as the Nexus upgrades and expanses by Partar

I want to be able to change weapons on my companions, maybe give them a secondary. Like the past couple games.

Someone said to allow us to equip our squadmates but I disagree with this from a roleplay and lazy perspective.  I don't dress my friends.  They're grown, like my squadmates.  I prefer they be responsible for themselves in that way... but I wouldn't be opposed to this feature being added long as I am not forced to do it or punished for not doing it.

I think they should be allowed to tinker with equipment and the debrief of our assessment should dictate how to equip next. The mechanic, on a whim, would work like this:

• You find loot and get them to your ship;
• Some of it would get the attention of your crew mates;
• They would ask for those parts and tinker their own equipment;
• Bonuses would spring around them as they assembled more customized equipment;
• Depending on where you would be going or which profile you were mostly use, you would debrief them to use certain kinds of equipment or let them choose at random;
• Sometimes, like Liam has once requested, you could come across Researching recipes and blueprints they come up with their own analysis.

This is something you find in some games. The most recent one I remember was called The Last Remnant, Squareenix. Yeah, rather coincidence it was called like that. Other than your main character, all your followers only requested for parts and materials, and they would evolve/develop their own equipment.

Oh yeah...I want a Turian female multiplayer character that actually looks female. Wearing armor like Lieutenant Sajax:

Also more turians in general. 

1: At least add a 2-3 more skill slots per profile as 3 is way too limiting and im sorry but series SP has always had a lot more slots and would prefer it that you do not shoehorn your MP style into      single player.

2: Assault rifles in general need a buff to their damage and accuracy. Soned and many other full auto rifles are terrible due to abysmally low accuracy. A pistol should not be out damaging a assault rifle as one is a main weapon while the other is a backup.

3: level scaling has to be seriously look at especially beyond lvl 80 as our equipment stops growing then, our main powers stop growing way before but the enemy continues to grow all the way to 132. Besides having more powers is pointless since we limited by your useless system to 3 anyways

4: Just get rid of favourites system if possible, keep the passive profiles and give us our 8-12 slots instead.

5: new game+ carry quest items forward which needs to be looked at.

6: squad-mates are hilariously weak as they all use terrible weapons and they do not upgrade their weapons at all. You gutted squad control to absolutely nerf to all hell.

7: Vetra AI needs to be fixed as at the moment she cannot hit the broadside of the barn.

8: Allow us to give squadmates better weapons as that will atleast make them useful

9: At high levels powers become worthless and im talking about 100+ even on normal since their damage scaling is terrible. This applies to everything from squadmates, player, weapons, drones and power.

I would personally love it if they would, at the very least add in waypoints for ALL the tasks in the game, i mean there are tasks that have zero waypoints and are totally ignored since finding all, if not one of them is pure luck.

They're pure luck because they're dynamically generated as you approach them. Like pretty much all the little hotspots on Eos where you sometimes find stuff to scan or destroy to advance a task, pretty much none of those tasks are statically-placed, so the game can't possibly give you waypoints for them until you've advanced far enough in them to be sent somewhere that doesn't have a dynamically-generated objective.

Another one... Show whole results screen for MP finish like before the last patch.

WARNING : This post  contain spoilers

-------------------------------------------

I have been disappointed by the nexus compared to the citadel in ME3.

The citadel in mass effect 3 was very well designed in my opinion for the following reasons :

-It allow the player to "feel" the progress of the war with the reaper in zones like refugee docks or Huerta Mem Hospital

-It evolved though out the game, fist it felt like a preserved sanctuary then a war zone after the coup.

-It contained lot of side quests that unlocked depending of the main quest progression

-The NPC dialogue you could heard just by walking around the station were very immersives

Now fortunately some elements made it to andromeda like your squad mate in short leave and some interesting sides quests or cutscenes, the angaran in the cultural center or Tann welcoming the Leusinia refugees... those little immersive details that contribute a dynamic environment. However some other details are missing.

• The nexus in the prologue :

- In the prologue the nexus feel more unfinished  ( dark room with lot of crates) than damaged by the dark energy cloud as it was described in the book.

- There is no trace of visible damage and no area where you can see the horrible conditions they had to live with before the player arrive.

Even if the different NPC explain to you how it was and what happened it does not impact the player emotionally.

• The nexus evolution in the game :

The nexus evolution is limited, after you come back from the first time a new area is accessible and every things are running well.

- No new areas opened with the nexus level progression

- The improvements are so quick that you get the feeling that every thing is back in order even if the NPC tell you otherwise.

- Most sides quests in the station can be done after you have established your first colony with the exception of squad mate quests  and the angara in the cultural center (which I really appreciated) who come later

- No side quests in response to the other arks arrival

- No side quests with the other pathfinders ( it feel like the player is the only pathfinder working)

- No visible consequence of the Kett attack except for the removal of the Hyperion

- Everything ( shops, laboratory, bar, hydroponic lab ) is conveniently at the same area in this incredibly huge station ( make sense only at the beginning with the limited resources )

Questions :

What do you think about the nexus ?

Am I unfair to overlook these details ?

Do you have ideas of side quests or content that could improve immersion on the nexus ?
