The Multiplayer Challenges
On your sandbox, should the 'first aid medals' silver challenge for Mass Effect 3 really be linked to 'first aid' from Mass Effect? Just seems a bit pointless. Sqarkplugz (talk)
 * Hmm, I just copied and pasted from the current MP Challenges page, but you're right. Trandra (talk) 20:57, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't realise that you'd just copied from the current article. Nevermind, I fixed it there. Sqarkplugz (talk)

/ instead of :
now that we've had ample time to see how tabview looks like on the weapons pages in hindsight i think i should've suggested that you should've used / instead of : in naming the subpages, like what we have here: Garrus_Vakarian/Unique_dialogue. there's an autogenerated backlink on that page, which we do not have on the weapons subpages. as it stands the current user experience on editing is edit subpage -> remain on subpage without any convenient way to get back to the main article : M-55_Argus:ME3MP.

my fault for not pointing it out sooner, i guess.

 * Yeah, I noticed that. An admin will have to help or have to actually do it because they are able to delete redirects from renaming pages, or they can suppress the redirect. Trandra (talk) 16:46, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Power Re-classification
I've brought this topic up before; there's a short discussion that ended with me on the Tech talk page. What I want to do is re-examine how powers are classified on the wiki, because some of their current designations are silly or are contradicted by in-game statistics. In particular, Ballistic Blades is classified as tech, even though most players are going to automatically classify it as combat. Commdor is behind the idea of using the challenges as a way to unambiguously determine where these powers go. It's a good start, but it's still incomplete because non-damage dealing powers like Sabotage and Stimulant Pack aren't listed.

Thoughts? Lksdjf (talk) 17:24, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Also, nice manifest you have there. I've been grinding the Typhoon challenge for Gunslinger with a Typhoon at level one. I'm not even going to bother with Earth Mastery; I very much dislike the Typhoon since I had it before it was nerfed. Lksdjf (talk) 18:00, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think we should get someone who can look at the PC files and tell us unambiguously which ones get boosts from Tech power gear and which ones get boosts from Biotic power gear. In my opinion, that's enough to settle it, but the admins have some weird thing against it. This might not work if the gear data is stored on the server like all the weapons after the first MP DLC are.


 * And thanks. The Manifest took a loooong time to get. I didn't get the Typhoon until long after it was nerfed, so I still like it. :) And the Destroyer and original Turian Soldier make every gun better for Challenge grinding. Trandra (talk) 19:45, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Biotic Protector Image Size PowerDetails
Hi Tandra

Check Out Nyreen Kandros Powers. The Biotic Protector Icon is 38px wide. I think i got the issue. In the template:PowerDetails there are after the ME3 Biotic Protector.png two bracket close "]]" set behind. Therefor the Image-Size cant apply.

I didn't edited it because teamplates are your playground. --MaverikCH (talk) 23:46, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

Just Curious
I undid the edit because it felt as though Delan was being referred to as asexual, even though we know that hanar have a concept of sex as of Mass Effect 3. I'd like your take on how it might be read. We can view it as Delan's gender being undescribed, and therefore open to interpretation with the pronoun "it", but I think that might be stretching it.Lksdjf (talk) 01:02, January 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think it's better if we keep one pronoun or another--every other pronoun in the article prior to EzzyD's change was "it" so changing that one made it consistent. I also kind of have a problem with assuming every alien with an undescribed gender is male. Trandra (talk) 06:14, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Codex/Aliens:_Non-Council_Races. funnily enough, it's true that on ME3 we got hanar like zymandis being referred to with male pronouns. on ME though i can only recall other characters referring to the preaching hanar (or any other hanar) as "it" (is a big stupid jellyfish).
 * maybe we should just refrain from pronoun use when writing about hanar in the future unless other characters refer to them in-universe with whatever pronoun they use? :/ T̴̴͕̲̞̳̖̼̱͒͛̎͒ͫ̃ͧeͩ̈̽̈҉͓̝̰̼̦̫̤̀͠m̫̪̪̯̻͎̫̅̇̓̇͌̚p̸̙̝̓̓͌ͨ͆ͣͥ̂̕o͒̽͐̽͏̞̬̻͕͔͕͚̰͍͠͞ṙ̢̞͚͈̹̰ͨ̓ͭ̈́̌ạ̢̧̪̹̺̺̣̹̲͂͆̏ͪͨ͒ͭř̹͈͜͠y̷͍̻̜̹̼̾̽̈́e̵̹̼̟̦͚͐̈́͌͘d͉̲̣̻͉̱͗̅ḭ̷̻̆͋̆̓̔͝t̨͍̦̫̗͂̅̍̋̆ͩ͝ộ̫̟̬̳̝̲̾ͫ̒̿ͮ̑̚rͯ̎ͨͭ̄̿̽͛҉̠̫̱̠̘̘̲́ͅ7̩̻ͤͩͨ͝͡8̜̣̙͇̻ͨ͛͛̆͒̆̽̒͐͜͡ ͥ̍̉̃̇ͥ̓ͨ͏̕҉̥̹͓̗̤̠̖̤ (talk) 06:34, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Homing grenade FE
Have you tried it before reverting the edit?
 * Yes. I used to play the Demolisher quite often, and play the Drell Assassin frequently too. Fire Explosions happen with the Rank 5 "Fire Damage" evolution. Trandra (talk) 01:52, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

 * I'll remove the information for now and bring up discussion on the Talk page. Thanks for the video. Trandra (talk) 05:59, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

Acquisition
Please take a look at other articles. No other article is formatted that way and it shouldn't be. I directly modified them based on every other article for MP and just because they are new, they are not unique and therefore will not be treated as such. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:10, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Lancer, I think you should look at other articles. I have listed some examples on your talk page. Trandra (talk) 18:12, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Email
I've dropped you an email. Please take a look and respond when you have a moment. -- Commdor (Talk) 00:38, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Project Concentrated Effort
Is this still going on?--TW6464 (talk) 20:02, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, not officially. For now, working on getting the wiki up-to-date on the new DLC should suffice, if you were looking for something to do. (It appears that you are doing that already.) Trandra (talk) 20:06, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * yea, I got the Krogan Warlord and Awakened Cllector yesterday, so I'll add what I can get from those characters onto the character customization pages--TW6464 (talk) 20:08, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Ballistic Blades and Proximity Mine
I saw that you removed Ballistic Blades and Proximity Mine from the Tech powers page. The last time that I did that, Lancer reverted my edits incorrectly, because I've always known that they were combat powers. What's the likelihood that we can do the same for Phase Disruptor? Your reasoning seems to have held up with regards to specific power bonuses, unless Lancer stomps back into the page and reverts that too. Lksdjf (talk) 23:21, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Heh, I probably should have removed it with the last update I just did. It isn't a biotic power because it doesn't benefit from biotic power gear or count toward biotic kills, but I could see how it could be argued that since it uses up barriers, it is. I would personally remove it, since it is misleading to leave it there, from a gameplay perspective. Trandra (talk) 23:28, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll remove it, but it'll only be put back in. Would you care to wager on how long it takes for the reversion to occur? Lksdjf (talk) 23:44, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Reckoning Power icons
Can you get them? Not trying to sound demanding, I'm just wondering....--TW6464 (talk) 15:34, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
