Mass Effect 3: Nächster Patch in den Startlöchern! (Update)
(Mass Effect 3)
vom 04.10.2012, 12:58 Uhr

Wie Chris Priestly - seines Zeichens Community-Manager bei Bioware - im offiziellen Forum bekannt gab, steht uns bald ein neuer Patch für Mass Effect 3 ins Haus. Dieser vierte Patch für das Anfang März erschienene Spiel solle eine ganze Reihe von Fehlern beheben. Zudem wird er für alle Plattformen zur Verfügung stehen. Wahrscheinlich wird der Patch bereits ab morgen zur Verfügung stehen.
In Deutschland wird er daher wahrscheinlich ab 19 Uhr zum Download bereit stehen. Auf der Xbox 360 und der Playsation 3 sollte der Patch sich bemerkbar machen, auf dem PC mit Origin kann es sein, dass ihr zusätzlich noch manuell auf Updates prüfen müsst (Rechtsklick auf euer Spiel und dann auf "Updates suchen"). Nachfolgend alle Änderungen, die der Patch mit sich bringt.

Update vom 04.10.2012, 13:00 Uhr:
Der Patch ist nun offenbar für einige User erhältlich und es wurden bereits 2 kleine Boni bemerkt, welche in den Patchnotes nicht erwähnt wurden. Wer es selber herausfinden will, sollte also nicht weiterlesen:
Bonusfeatures:
- Charaktere im Multiplayer behalten nach der Beförderung der Klasse seit dem Patch nun ihre Namen, Waffen und optischen Anpassungen, es wird also nur noch das Level auf Stufe 0 zurück gestellt.
- Zudem ist der 1 Punkt nicht mehr fix vorgegeben, man kann also bei den MP-Charakteren nun alle Punkte selbst vergeben.
