Platinum sounds pretty crazy from what I've heard. Multiple enemy factions appear in one round, and major enemies appear from the beginning.

You mean increasing max amount you can carry into missions? It's a drop in crates.
Do you know if it is a common, uncommon, rare, or ultra-rare? I really want those upgrades, so I'm wondering if its better to spend my average 120,000 credit daily income on a Premium Spectre Pack and Jumbo Equipment or maybe try getting two Spectre packs instead, or some other combination.EDIT: And does anybody know if Bioware nerfed the geth infiltrator melee build? and made the female quarian engineer not suck?

The grenade capacity upgrade is a rare drop (gold border). I got one in a Spectre Pack over the weekend, so buy those or Premium Spectre Packs.As for the Geth and Quarian, I don't have a Geth character, so I wouldn't know. The female Quarian Engineer is best against Reaper forces, since most of them only have armor and her abilities are great against them (Incinerate and Cryo Blast). Plus, Cryo Blast can snap-freeze (or at least slow down) most enemies that don't have barriers or shields and most Reaper classes can't dodge very well, so you're almost always going to hit anything that's not a Marauder or a charging Banshee. They're very effective if paired up with a character with Overload.

So I got N7 Paladin Secondary colors in my Victory pack.The Paladin was the only N7 character I had.I don't even.On the bright side, I got the Piranha earlier! It's okay, it's certainly good, but it definitely doesn't warrant the cries of OP I've been seeing, I mean, seriously, the spread covers basically the entire screen.I also found that the Revenant is actually really good on my Krogan Sentinel, using it with maxed out Stability damper and piercing moderator it has essentially no recoil.~ELM~

Not particularly, in all honesty. I have a problem with paid story DLC usually, and since ME3 isn't on Steam, I have an ever bigger problem with it. Especially because Bioware DLC never goes on sale.

Anyone got Leviathan yet? Is it any good?- Tilius
I did. I actually found it to be quite good. I liked it more than arrival, but not more than the shadow broker. For me it was about tied with overlord, maybe a bit below it. It had a lot of stuff that was not just running around shooting stuff which I really appreciated.If you're a fan of the lore, I would recommend getting it. Not to mention the dominate power makes a return and you can have a live husk head in your cabin.~U_K~

Just popping in to say I haven't quite beat Leviathan yet, but it's blowing my mind just a little bit.Also, wow. Adept is once again the most powerful class, after having become only usable on Veteran in ME2. Enemies I was struggling with on my Engineer Insanity run go down before me with ease (still playing on Insanity). Seriously, just detonate a Ravager or Brute twice and they die.I'm also appreciating how much Steve and EDI are in the DLC, as EDI is my favorite character and Steve is who is being romanced by my current Shep. :P

Aaaand new multiplayer DLC called retaliation. If you want to look into it, go onto Bioware's blog. To sum it up: New collector faction, new turian soldier and infiltrator (with a sweet jetpack), based on the trailer it seems we might be able to change powers for some classes (we saw what seemed to be a krogan vanguard use pull and/or shockwave and more), 3 new collector weapons, (technically 2 since the assault rifle is already in the game, but the submachine gun and sniper are new) and there's a new challenge system. Example: Get 140000 points accumulated with the typhoon and get 10 challenge points. Use challenge points to buy banners and titles for other players to see in lobbies (think call of duty).Also, stuff added in the patch today as well. if 3/4 players vote to start, the match will start in 20 seconds. Also, when you promote a character, their name and appearance are not reset, and their 1 point is not assigned.I am super excited for this. October 9th cannot come soon enough. Praetorians are not going to be fun.~U_K~

They've been really, really good with multiplayer content. I'll probably get playing again then. Might even bite the bullet on Leviathan.

I want to see the Collector class retconned into campaign so badly.
Smart money's on them being the enemy in the Omega DLC they've got planned. Especially since they got Harbinger's VA back for that trailer - I doubt they'd do that just for a trailer for a free multiplayer expansion.

Files extracted from today's patch seem to indicate these classes are incoming:Turian Havoc (Soldier)Turian Saboteur (Vanguard)Turian Ghost (Infiltrator)Asari Valkyrie (???)Asari Huntress (maybe a Soldier?)Drell Assassin (probably an Infiltrator...)Geth Trooper (likely Soldier)Krogan Shaman (probably the Krogan [Adept] we saw in the new trailer using Shockwave)Batarian Brawler (Vanguard?)Batarian Slasher (haven't the foggiest)Vorcha Hunter (makes me think it could be a Vanguard or an Infiltrator. Vorcha with Tactical Cloak would be hilarious.)And most importantly...Volus EngineerVolus Mercenary (Soldier?)Volus Protector (Sentinel?)Volus Adept

I almost thought the volus thing was just a joke Bioware put in to throw off dataminers.But it's for real.all of my confusionsIt's odd that there will be an odd number of characters for each class.Edit: I'm going to guess the volus will have monstrous shields and puny health, and lack the ability to dodge.

I'm hoping their dodge has them tuck their arms and legs up close to their body and roll between cover.Also, they'll probably have puny weight capacity.

Well Leviathan was kind of bad. The combat felt like padding most of the time, none of the characters really made an impact, and I think this might be the only main mission where succes retroactively leaves the galaxy in a worse place than if you had left things alone. I'm with Javik on this one.Still, the Leviathan design was good, the new codex stuff (planets!) made me happy, it was pretty, and it had some pretty good atmosphere in places.Oh, Biotic Volus and Collecters might get me to play multiplayer again.

It's up on Live now, but not on PSN or Origin. Volus are apparently ultra-rares....And also amazingly adorable:2012_10_9_10_19_51.jpg2012_10_9_10_23_31.jpgLook at his little crate. And he can't even get up to the stat screen! What a little trooper.
