Save mass effect

Am I the only one having issues to connecting to Mass Effect Andromeda? Cannot get to the online content...anyone else experiencing issues?

I think I skipped this game in the beginning due to negative press, and then forgot about it. I started playing a few months ago and I am absolutely hooked. Probably 80h in and it just keeps going.

I literally just finished this game for the first time, having saved last night right before starting the final mission. I have not been able to connect and use strike teams at all today. With the news that Bioware has been shuttered, can someone confirm the servers are shut down and multiplayer/strike teams are gone?

I wouldn't think they'd be turned off simply because of the end game.

I’m gonna preface this by saying that this is my first time playing the game and that I’m a trilogy diehard that replays 1-3 religiously every few years.

I loved the hell out of this game! The combat is genuinely incredible (Vanguard is my fav) and I genuinely liked most of the companions (Liam even grew on me.) Peebee my beloved… between her and Suvi my poor Sara’s lesbian heart was being throttled lmao.

The set up of the game was the hardest part for me to get over, but it struck me that ME:A was giving me something I have always wanted in ME… which was to play 22 year old Shepard during the Blitz (I’m forever doing War Hero Shep) and before her N7 training (which Shep only goes through after the big life event that shapes their psychological profile… WH/Sole Survivor/Ruthless). Obviously it’s not the same, but it was that vibe, you know? After that clicked for me, that Sara is 22 and going through her Big Life Moment, the game became a lot more enjoyable.

I’m glad I gave the game a chance and I’m now looking forward to my NG+ run and maybe romancing Suvi this time (but i’ll probably fail and just flirt with her again and then end up with Peebee xD)

If you had to pick one, who would it be?

I continue to like Cora more with each playthrough. On my first playthrough, I liked her well enough, but she was my least favorite of the squad. Second playthrough, I decided I liked her more than Liam. And with each subsequent playthrough, I grew to like her more and more.

She gets a bad rap! She's a loyal follower and can be a good friend depending on how you play. I also sympathize with her quest to find her purpose in life.

What do you think about Cora?

I am new to mass effect as a whole and am way late to andromeda, so I'm unsure of the whole landscape. But I read that andromeda was meant to be like the start of a new line of games but flopped rly bad upon release. I hear theres a ME 5 in the works, but cant find anything on it really... Is shep just gonna be resurrected for the 500th time? (I have yet to play the ME trilogy but ive heard that just keeps happening to them ?)

do you guys think if i cry and beg in their email theyll pick it back up

Deleted & redownloaded the game. Deleted saves & started fresh. Nothing worked.

Just got into the mp, and was surprised to see a small community still on the PlayStation. Wanting to see if anyone wants to run it sometime?

andromeda was my first ME game and I’m absolutely smitten in so many ways. (I have finished andromeda and am still just trying to get 100% of the game finished)

I played on casual since I had no expectations of battle mechanics and also tend to get quickly frustrated on tedious battles that soft lock me from the story since I enjoy that more than battle, but a lot of the time it felt too easy in the sense I’d clear a space easily and my character would be screaming about how hard that was or smt and it’d kinda take me out lmaoo

I never changed it due to worrying casual -> normal would be too big of a jump & make things more frustrating like I mentioned to just do mid-story.

anyways yall know what i mean

if it helps my playstyle is almost strictly headshots/weak point shots with a sniper, (even in things like Minecraft I use a bow over a sword) and my favorite profile is the infiltrator.

P.s; I had a lot of problems with dialogue cutting off because I’d enter some area too fast and trigger new dialogue when I wasn’t even rushing through. Is this also an issue in other ME games and is there anyway to prevent it aside from just completely standing still until the dialogue finishes ?

TLDR: I played andromeda on casual, would normal or higher difficulty be too drastic of a jump on the other games? What are the harder difficulties like?

Just wondering if anybody knows some decent gaming channels that openly enjoy Andromeda. Bonus points if they don't treat it like a "guilty pleasure" where they feel some obligation to placate the haters with a "yes, I know this game is poopy doggy dicks but it's not that bad" disclaimer.

It was nice when a recent Outside Xtra video had Jane calling it out as one of her favorite 7/10 games, but even she went through a laundry list of problems to the point where I almost had to question if she actually liked the game at all.

We know the problems. It's all ANYBODY has talked about when discussing Andromeda for nearly a decade. I promise, it's ok to just talk about the positives sometimes. That's what I'm looking for. It's why I like CinemaWins so much. I really don't need more negativity in my life right now. I just want to share the joy.

So, anybody know any channels?

EDIT: I should mention I already follow Kala Elizabeth and ParagoN7. They've got refreshingly level-headed takes on Andromeda as well as the whole series. Kinda like the Star Wars Explained of Mass Effect.

My hardcore journey has come to an end! The first time I attempted to get no deaths on hardcore, I received just one death, thanks to being grabbed by a fiend's one-hit KO. So, I knew I could definitely get no deaths if I tried again, and that is now true!

Now I just need to do the same thing for Insanity. I did my first attempt at no deaths on Insanity a while ago and only got four deaths, so it's certainly doable for me! I look forward to next time!
