As many fans know, BioWare and Electronic Arts have halted all future content updates for Mass Effect: Andromeda, a shame as vast as the Andromeda galaxy. With the proper assortment of patches and tweaks, the game’s bug-filled launch could have been redeemed, or at least improved to a certain degree. As it stands, multiple nagging issues remain in the game with no promise of being fixed. Fortunately, a modder has assembled a Mass Effect: Andromeda Fixpack mod to address many of these unresolved issues.

A modder with the handle ‘NightWolf2503′ has created quite the comprehensive list of fixes for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Having already addressed problems such as looping quest prompts, clipping characters, and mismatched crafting blueprints, version 1.03 aims to hammer out a few more rough edges in the game.

In the new Andromeda Fixpack update, a few awkward Ryder conversations have been fixed, several Turians have

This new breed of Pilot Escort represents a unique blend of technologies from each of the primary Alliance members, with various projects and subsystems pulled from Andorian, Lethean, and Dewan techniques. The sleek styling, tight maneuverability, and impressive arsenal of offensive capabilities of existing Andorian Escorts have informed a great deal about the core functionality of all of these vessels, as is obviously reflected in these modernized Andorian starships. Players will soon see the addition of Allied Pilot Escorts to the C-Store! These ships will be available individually, as 3-ship Faction Bundles, or as a 9-Ship Megabundle. Each of cutting-edge Escorts possesses impressive and unique capabilities, inspired by their unique lineage. Starfleet officers will gain access to the following starships: Andorian Kuthar Pilot Escort [T6] Andorian Chimesh Pilot Escort [T6] Andorian Thozyn Pilot

Tzenkethi forces loom, threatening life in every corner of known space, even as a dangerous and unknown threat surfaces. Amid this chaos, new technologies are being pursued by Alliance scientists and engineers in hopes of returning peace to the Alpha Quadrant. The latest projects have been exploring techniques common in the shipbuilding practices of species that haven’t typically stood at the forefront of the Alliance. These efforts have produced a new breed of Pilot Escort, representing a unique blend of these technologies. Andorian members of the Federation have offered their superior mobility subsystems and targeting computers, while Lethean neuro-interfaces have been integrated to improve crew response times with other surprising results. Meanwhile, a team of scientists from the Romulan Republic have been studying and restoring ancient Dewan technology found in the ruins beneath the surface of

Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment?

From Thursday, February 8th at 9AM PST to February 12th at 10AM PST, every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs. .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(http://images-cdn.perfectworld…157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s;

Despite the controversial helicopter parents that everyone knows as the big publisher in the gaming industry these days, Anthem could find great success in BioWare‘s history of creating beloved franchises. Though little has been revealed since E3 2017, there’s high hopes and expectations for the studio and its latest intellectual property – both positive and negative. In a recently updated job listing, BioWare is currently in search for a Principal Game Designer for the new IP. From the exceptional list of requirements to fulfill that role, one stands out the most and means Anthem could feature a first person mode. Check out the image below:

There’s certainly the possibility, but it would be strange to list a requirement that may not be needed. However, as the saying goes – better to have and not need, than to need and not have. With that being said, perhaps Anthem could be offering both first person and

StarCraft has always been a series of deep lore in a vast universe. Fans looking to delve deeper into the stories will get the opportunity with a new comic Mini-Series arriving this summer. Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Blizzard, has developed a StarCraft comic as a four-part series that will be taking the Summer by storm.

StarCraft Scavengers being written by Jody Houser of DC Comics and Valiant Entertainment. Gabriel Guzman is drawing the series and was previously the artist for the Dark Horse graphic novel Mass Effect Discovery. The first issue is expected in July.

The storyline of the StarCraft comic mini-series follows a team of Terrans tasked with finding a Protoss ship abandoned in the outer reach. On a never before explored planet, the team must salvage whatever they can before their mission is compromised by unknown forces. The comics follow a young and relatively inexperienced engineer that

Greetings capsuleers, and especially greetings fleet commanders and CEO's.

After some discussion with the CSM early last week about issues with filing fleet fight notifications, teams Webster and Tech Co have collaborated to bring an update and improvement to the fleet fight notification tool. For those who have not seen this before, this tool allows players to confidentially notify CCP of their intention to have a large fight. This allows us to place the solar systems involved in the fight on a dedicated high-performance node to provide the best possible experience.

The CSM raised the issue of players struggling to use the tool, which would sometimes reject requests for node reinforcement for unclear reasons. The common concerns were that the issue seemed to be related to requests for fights within the next 24 hours.

After investigation, we have found that the exact cause of the issue was a logic statement
