I absolutely adored ME3 MP and had a decent bit of fun with Andromeda's MP so I do feel that BioWare can make a good go at this. I remember daydreaming what a ME MP-centric game would be like and this kinda feels like what I dreamt of, ME trappings not withstanding. Of course I knew that my self imposed ban on EA products would crumble for this game, I'll most likely be there day one as it really looks to be shaping up nicely.
I really hope we get community events in the vein of the weekly challenges in ME3, although very simplistic they were a lot of fun and the sense of community was great. ME:A dropped the ball hard in this regard (well in a lot of regards, heh [even if I personally enjoyed it]) so hopefully BioWare remembers and expands on that concept. With the way the ME MP modes felt to play I have no doubt this will feel as good if not better to play so hopefully the chase is there, ME:A's grind was fucking obnoxious and completely missed what made ME3's grind enjoyable. Moving away from packs should help in that regard.
I am not too fussed if there is not an astronomical amount of content, I was fine with running what was available at launch for ME3 and post launch support for that game was phenomenal and free. I always bought a few packs after the content drops as a way of showing support (did not spend a dime on ME:A after the fact) so if all turns out well I'll most likely drop a few bucks on MTX. Although I don't play the game, Fortnite seems to have done that right so if this is similar I don't mind. Hell, on the content front I really just need something fun and I can run it over and over- see Destiny and VoG, I played that shit soooo much, even after having everything.
Hopefully some of my friends pick this up or we have a decent community here, I prefer to avoid randoms if at all possible. And hopefully any community built doesn't devolve into "Must run blah blah blah for most efficient blah blah blah...", while that has it's uses and fans it's not always the way I like to play. Had a group of pals in ME3 where we would use a random load out/map/enemy generator and the results would be a bunch of fun!
Is there an ERA Discord channel yet, or any interest in one?
