When is the Mass Effect Archives thing where you can share Ryders going up?

I did the original trilogy with the default Shepard so I'll probably do the default Ryder as well. I just can't seem to make good looking characters with character creators in games

How do I participate and complete the Andromeda Initiative program on PS4?
Do I have to use a browser still? I have an Origin account on PC, will it be linked to PS4?

Same. Except for me it's default for all the others too. *shrug*

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Here's some down-sampled pictures from the Pro version, first 10 minutes, nothing spoilery. I started the game as Sarah but I think I'll restart it as Scott tomorrow when I formally begin playing the game. Sarah has a constant smirk on her face and it's sort of annoying and distracting.
Super glad I bought the T3 USB SSD before this, loads are quick and snappy.

I'm about 15 hours in and so far the MP missions and the squads you send you send only give lootboxes. The cryo points are given when the nexus lvl up and the nexus lvl up when you increase viability on the planet doing priority missions and the MMO quests.
After playing a few hours, thank GOD I didn't listen to all the negativity and cancel my preorder. This game oozes atmosphere and it might be the best cinematic sci-fi game I've ever played. The custom characters are fugly, but you can really create something amazing if you tinker around with it a bit. I love the look of my character
Awesome, specifically didn't play through the whole story segment during the EA Access trial so I could start this afternoon and roll right into the full game release come 12am, but the game kicked me out just now and won't even launch.
Really hoping this gets fixed soon, since I didn't get a chance to save and would rather not close the game and play something else while I sit here waiting for a fix to arrive.
Bummer, but damn am I enjoying the game so far. ME3 left an absolute awful taste in my mouth due to how that game ended and a disdain for anything ME related from that point on. Didn't follow Andromeda much at all, and just really ignored it up this point, but I have EA Early Access and thought, 'what the hell', and damn if it didn't suck me in like the games before it. Both default Ryder's seemed lame to me after running through the original trilogy with OG male Shepard, which made me weary. However, I was able to create an awesome female Ryder that really seemed to match the VO and didn't look an abomination once we arrived in-game. The game just reminds me so much of the first ME in the best way possible and from what I've played thus far it has the exploration and discovery aspect that I really missed in ME 2&3. Weird animation hiccups aside, it's left a good first impression. Now if only Xbox Live would cooperate...

SkillUp from YouTube said it took him 35-40 hours to complete and that is without bothering with all the mundane fetch this fetch that sidequests.

New as in that it wasn't already in the trial version? That would be good news.
Gonna try to make a cool either female or male Ryder tomorrow but if I fail I'll hopefully find some good ones here around that time.
Yes a completly new one.
It fixd the Sound issues in MP from what i can tell.

Holy shit, the PS4 free pre-order theme is dumpster fire material, ugliest theme I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.

Is there any news on what the Pro upgrades are. or the size of the patch on PS4 for physical users.
Lastweek the devs were saying 2GB but some were saying its now 5GB?

Eos early quest question, light spoilers:
Thanks!
As opposed to jumping right into the story mission I did some sidequests and ran into Drack in a Monolith. After he left I got a quest prompt to scan two glpyhs in the Monolith. I searched and can't find them anywhere. Are there where Drack is located or somewhere else?
Thanks!

Yes (on Xbox) and I was suitably getting my ass kicked even with upgraded armour and weapons. I don't know how biotic charge users are gonna survive on Insanity because your health is shredded pretty quick.
I played as a Sentinel if that matters.

Quest help answer:
They are in the Remnant ruins nearby the Kett structure, not inside the Kett thing itself.

Took it a bit but it started downloading for me earlier.
I strongly recommend anyone who plans to play multiplayer to download the Apex HQ app. Not because you can send out strike teams whenever, but becuase the in-game UI is SO BAD. The app can switch characters, spend skills, change loadout, etc all within seconds with a sleek UI. Trying to do all that in game is a pain the ass with menus within menus all that have to load...ugh. The app even manages to fit character flavor text on the same screen for crying out loud - in-game you have to like flip cards over.
Now I just need it to permanently mute everyone.

Eos mainquestline question -
. Am I missing something here or is this just a straight up bug preventing me from progressing
Edit update - Seems like it was indeed a bug, restarted the game and now the door will open
I'm down in the big remnant dungeon, and there's a bigass door blocking my way, that I'm like 99.999% sure is the way I have to go, but I get no option to open it
Edit update - Seems like it was indeed a bug, restarted the game and now the door will open
Deep Space pack and Pathfinder weapon set have downloaded, they just aren't in the locker.
Or will they just not be there, when I first get to Eos?

okay how do you play this first fight with the

The one that's
trapped in the cage until you let it out and waves of Kett attack you at the same time
Check the console using your scanner, then follow the lines.
Also that's not really side quest.

how did you beat it? there's no cover any where.

I basically fought a war of attrition behind cover inside the building, making sure the Gatling gun guys were dead first before venturing outside to tackle the beast.

I am planning to but the various reported bugs and glitches worried me, since you can't save in story missions, and there are reports where triggers or icons do not appear properly when they should during missions creating scenarios where you are forced to reload earlier save.
Can you imagine fighting through dungeons in Insanity only to be greeted by one of those in the end and you have to repeat the whole process? That would be maddening :/
I read there's a work around to quick save during story missions. Change objectives, save and change back.

No way. Gotta customize no matter how simple it is.
Faces patched?
That was posted 3 days ago in this bizarre reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/6010ab/no_spoilers_sara_ryder_corrected_face_leaked/, including this gem:
It's been a gamergate talking point. I can't find any sources citing this other than gamergaters, so take that as you will.

I'm also using the default name. I like that some NPCs call you Scott instead of just Ryder.
Also, in the case of a possible sequel I'm sure they will screw-up the faces if there are an import option.

ive been trying to launch the trial but cant due to the xbl issues happening. Now there is a 774 mb patch on xbox
So I played about an hour but I'm not super happy with the look of my character.
Is there no pale option for skin tone? It's kind of weird that the slider is adjusted to the preset and you can't move it to the extreme on either end. Made a guy but the tone came out a bit different in the actual game.

Yeah, it's not great.
Cash is always a good choice.

For real? I ordered it from there months ago and haven't got my key.
They even said on twitter that they weren't sending out keys until the 22nd-23rd.

Maybe it was already posted here but one of the devs put this on twitter a few hours ago:
Can't wait to get to know them all.
