Yes, I know I'm late to jump on this bandwagon but I just gotta say, whoever decided it was a good idea to randomize EVERYTHING needs to be shot. Or at the very least, stopped from making games.
I've logged perhaps 150 hours over the last month or so playing with my friends (and thats the ONLY reason) and spent upwards of 5 million credits trying to get good gear. Because everything is randomized, I have decent characters (like the N7 Destroyer) and shitty weapons (like the Mantis and Avenger).
And I think what pisses me off the most is that you can KEEP GETTING THE SAME CHARACTERS AND WEAPONS EVEN AFTER YOU GET THEM!!!! because it is all randomized!! The last 3 Premium Packs I've bought (which are 100k credits each) gave me characters and weapons I already had which only add more useless customization options to them.
Also, it's fucking glitchy as FUCK. I'm constantly running into problems where I can't see my team mates even though they are there and are killing the bad guys. Sometimes the enemies will spawn on top of each other making them impossible to kill. And my personal favorite is when it glitches out and doesn't allow my character to take cover (IN A COVER BASED COMBAT GAME!!! GAH) or climb ladders, etc.
Okay. Rant over.
The gameplay itself is okay I guess. I wish it had more variety in the missions outside of the map hazards. I'd also like to see a trade system implemented where you can trade characters and weapons you don't use with other people for ones you will. If everything is going to be randomized, at least make it somewhat bearable.
For discussion, do you agree? Disagree? Like it or not? What are your thoughts?
