This library is meant to be a comprehensive link listing of all the best ME3 MP threads that detail helpful knowledge, a good reference point for new players and veteran players alike. Please bear in mind that some of these threads are old and may contain some information that is a little outdated, but have been included due to the wealth of pertinent knowledge they still contain.
 
Feel free to alert me if I have missed any obvious ones so that I may review them for addition to this compendium.
Special thanks goes to Anubis_TPF and NuclearTech for their help in compiling these links. Special thanks goes to RaenImrahl for the sticky.
 
Due to the change over to a new forum layout, I have updated the Library. You will now see a "legacy" link to the threads on the old forums (for historical purposes and because the old background is easier on the eyes) as well as the current/active "live" link to the new forum-counterpart of said threads.
 
 
 
General Advice
This section covers general gameplay advice, from beginner and novice guides like proper missile usage or character build ideas to more advanced play such as manipulating spawn points and how shield and health gates work.
 
 
Challenge System/N7 HQ FAQ, by Bryan "BroJo" Johnson: Live Link *** Legacy Link
 
 
Alternate Challenge Banner Designs: Live Link
To "wear" one of these custom banners, you must first have completed the challenge your desired banner is associated with (for example, you must complete Dog of War in order to choose the Grunt or Krogan custom banner). Log out of ME3 MP. Go to your N7 HQ here on the forum. Click on Challenge Awards. Then, click on the banner you wish to "wear". SPECIAL NOTE: There is currently a problem with these banners displaying properly in-game. They sometimes work, but most often show up as a "rainbow banner" broken image link.

Good comprehensive list. It's a shame something like this is only going to be stickied now, more than a year after the game was released but better late than never I guess.

FYI, the Anthill Inside: Enemy Weapon Damage & Build Survivability Calculator links no longer work, in fact they haven't been up for months.

Yes, my only regret is not doing this waaaaaaaaay sooner. Learning curve. For ME4 MP (assuming there will be one), I will start this process much, much sooner.

@ Annomander - great ideas, I will work on the spacing in the OP. As far as Crimson Vanguard's thread -- I thought I had his build library linked there already... or are there other build threads of his that I am missing? I am open to creating a "Build Ideas" subsection if there are other really good build threads that people think should be included.

ftfy.  :D


I'd also recommend putting the links to the narida tool and peddro's Numerical thread to the top of the lists and bolding them.  The narida tool is one of the best things any non-dev has done for the game.  And peddro's thread is a tremendous source of consolidated information.  Godless Paladin's thread is great but now extremely dated and shouldn't get top billing.

David Kang's thread has lots of good links.  I'm not sure that you've got them all.
http://social.biowar.../index/15674595

Is there currently a thread that delineates exploits vs. allowable game mechanics?  That would be a helpful list to have at the ready.

tnx for adding the Lazy thread I recommended.

I was a public relations major in college. Caution was bred into us from Day 1. Posted Image

I appreciate the feedback on changing the order on some of the threads' listings. I did raid David Kang's thread for a lot of these... I do believe I grabbed all of them, but if I missed one you think should be included, let me know.

Currently, the closest thread I have to explaining exploits versus game mechanics is the Cheating Compendium one by Thomas Abram, but I know that's fairly old. If someone knows of a more recent one - perferably containing BioWare folks officially saying what is "clever use of game mechanics" and what isn't, I'd gladly add it.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day when a sticky doesn't have a Bioware tag.

Saying excellent work is a big understatement, Dragon Racer!
