I know I can not be the only one that has thought about this. But I would really like to see some friendly games down with the BioWare Staff. I think it would be a good thing for us all to get to play and see how the staff plays the game. It would not only help to promot positive interaction but also just be a fun and enjoyable expirence.

What do the rest of you think? Would you like to play with Chris, Bryan and Scylla and if we are lucky maybe even the voice acters if they have time.[More like if we are lucky XD] Think about getting to play with the Actors of FemShep and Shep, that would just bring a fun atmosphere to the games don't you think?

You should get their ID's and troll them with non-stop character cards.

Edit: Actually wait a second, did I ever kick you?


This explains a lot.


Ever kick anyone with BIO- at the start of their name... It was probably a staffer

what ID origin at you? :)


I am already at my cap, infact I made a 2nd and 3rd account for the demo from all the fans I was playing with. So sorry even if I gave out my origin ID, I am full 

@Sdrol117 I would say the majority of them do.

I'm also in game almost nightly on x-box. I don't usually mention that I'm with BioWare though. It's really a lot of fun to just be another fan and play the game with folks.

the bioware guys ever they ever made soem form of dev vs player type random match should assume control of enemy type characters, would be funny them entering random matches assisting the enemy waves, bonus credits for downing a dev assisted team, only you wouldnt know its them unless teh chars seemed remarkably un-npc like in their movements/actions :D


Me behind the wheel of a banshee... I like that idea.

Oh Chris and Alistair are crazy good

I play PC as well though many BioWare staff do play Xbox. Bryan and I spent many a Friday evening in multiplayer perfecting our strategies during development.

I usually go by Ghost or some iteration thereof.

Haha! Yes Mannie89. We are not synthetics, though I suspect my colleagues often. Bryan especially.

I am going to be celebrating 25 years with my wife this coming June. We have three kids...and they are also organic, I think. :)

This platform does not appreciate you trying to expose; while it is trying to pretend to be human

I never kick people unless a friend is trying to join. But even then I feel really awful about it. I like playing with people, and I spend a lot of time experimenting with weird, unconventional, or unreliable builds, so I can't throw stones if someone else isn't optimal.

Well maybe Asari Adept with Javelin and Claymore isn't the best loadout. :wizard:


Have you ever stasis'd a guy walked up to him calmly and claymore'd him in the face. 

Then ran away and sat in a corner for another unsuspecting victim to come into your trap and pick him off? 

Yup thats right, its fun
That's why I call my Asari, Spider

I have a question for the staff posting here, did you have to buy packs to get characters as well? or do you guys just have everything?

Answer carefully here *shakes fist in angry manner*


We have/had absolutely no advantage to the end user. Except for our retail based test accounts (but those we dont use outside of work and generally play in private lobbies)

well you guys were playing it before release so there's a little advantage ;)


That is also not true. Servers were not available until just before launch (people with space edition will tell you that) and most of us bought from our local stores, as we didnt get our staff copies right on release. And PC, same deal we had to pass the release date check like all the other users :)

I play with fans a fair bit! It's fun - right up until I get you killed because Krogan Battlemaster does not understand the concept of defense.

Things I have seen in MP with random groups.

- A guy who rapped the entire match with BioWare inspired lyrics and a running commentary of the match as it happend. He had music in the background and he was actually pretty good!

- Another guy who sang Gilbert and Sullivans Major-General's song, again with Mass Effect lyrics. He also was very good but in a state of  'advanced refreshment' -- by the end of the match it sounds as tho he had nodded off and was AFK for the last few waves. Partial extraction.

- Two random guys had a competition to see who had the most 'Krogan sounding voice' and screamed "FOR TUCHANKA!" after every kill / wave.


I've clearly been in the wrong games.  Invite me more.

I could have sworn I saw a member of a knitting forums (yes, knitting. I also do that when I wait in lobbies) who said she worked at Bioware. Unfortunately I cannot remember her nick on that forum and she didnt go into detail where at Bioware, but if you know someone to fit the description I would love to play with her/him.

Anyways- its cool you guys mingle :D


Yes! We do enjoy spyi...I mean mingling...Yes, mingling Image IPB

But seriously, we do enjoy experimenting with unlikely builds too.  It's fun to try different combinations of builds just to see how a team's strategy can change.  (Warning! This may get you booted from lobbies!) Image IPB

Ooooo, does she have a BSN account? Want to ask her a few questions and I don't feel like making a Twitter account to get spammed.


Hi there! Amazingly enough, someone started a thread to ask me a few questions. You could ask yours there to avoid clutter:

well I think bioware staff should come play with some of us top leaderboard players and have a laugh. We could always back pack them though Gold.


We can hold our own :)

I play online with people quite often as well, although I'm often also the one rocking the terrible builds and such :D As Bryan mentioned earlier, anyone with BIO- is a decent chance at being an employee, even if they're terrible.

edit:
this reminds me I need to get my avatar icon fixed; I've not done it since we were on the old forums :(
