Problems with Mass Effect 3

[spartan231490]

Hey, this isn't about the ending or EA so calm down.
I love playing my vanguard online, but for some reason, biotic charge doesn't work like it's supposed to. When I have a valid target, within range, with nothing in between me and the target, biotic charge doesn't go off, no teleport, and no shields back. Wouldn't be so bad if it just happened once, but it will refuse to charge certain targets for no reason for several seconds. Happens all the time, which really sucks when I'm trying to charge because I have no shields and I'm about to die. Also, this ins't some new problem, biotic charge has been like this for me since day one. Furthermore, it's no rare occurrence. I haven't played a single wave with a vanguard where this hasn't happened. Frankly I think it's kinda bullshit that they can ship a game where 1/6 of the player characters are built around an ability that doesn't work reliably.
So, rant aside, anyone else notice this or have a problem with other abilities in multiplayer?

The only real issues that comes to mind are nit-picky cosmetic issues, and thats how guns change in cut scenes back to the standard Avenger (even when its not that characters natural weapon) and how Shep and his/her armour will clip on each other sometimes.....surely they knew the dimensions of the armour and how they needed his/her body to move

I've had that problem and it stops me using Vanguards as often as I would, it's such a good ability otherwise but without it they're just bad adepts. Doesn't happen quite as often as every wave, maybe once every two or three games, but it's a guaranteed death when it does.

I can't get my head around fire/cryo explosions, they don't seem to work as often as they should. I know they're only supposed to work if the attack that triggers them also kills the enemy but half the time it seems they won't do it even then. There are a few characters that would be pretty handy otherwise but because it's so unreliable I tend to either use different builds or avoid them altogether.

Same thing happens with the Shadow's Shadow Strike.

I've experienced this a few times, but definitely not that often or often enough to keep me from playing a vanguard. Just a mild annoyance that pops up rarely.

It's mostly lag related. If you play as host you'll rarely have that problem.

 

[Zhukov]

Yeah, I remember getting the charge thing as well.

I'm pretty sure it's due to lag.

Just keep mashing the ability button. It will generally trigger. Hopefully before your shields run out.

Yeah, Vanguards are pretty buggy, I generally only play them if I'm hosting. I've hit a few other glitches, but by biggest problem is connection issues.

This. Try hosting the game. The only time I really have this issue is when I charge a target, kill them, and then immediately to try and charge another target to restore my shields. Hosting mostly solves this problem though.

if i could get onto mass effects online, at all.. i could be able to help however the severs won't let me on

Host the game, the glitch only happens when you're not hosting.
