Does any staff like playing with Turian Soldier or Sentinal? I like the Soldier because he is a monster with a lot of the guns. Also will Turians ever roll? Becuase those Merauders mock me. D:

So.... many.... official.... responses....

Quick questions:
Anyone at the dev team looking into some Defense Matrix for a new Geth Soldier?... 

Are you considering Defense Matrix at all?

Do the testers think it would be overpowered?

IS it overpowered?

I honestly wish I could comment on this but, I am not really allowed to speculate on anything not currently in MP.

Sorry.

I knew you would say that... but I had to try! :innocent:

Marksman is a fun power to put a lot of rounds downrange in a short amount of time.  I do see staff members using Turians every so often.  Hey, who doesn't like Garrus and his kin?

I may have to pull my Turian soldier out again...thanks...so many kits, so little time.

Does anyone on the team use the eagle?

What difficulty do you usually play?

Is there any possibilities for promotion only weapons; like the collector rifle, to be made available to everyone or perhaps through commendation/victory packs?

If you don't mind me asking, what does y'all's platform spread look like? I'd guess a lot of PC considering bioware's background, but I got ME for the xbox shortly after release and that's sort of kept the franchise on the game box for me.

Yes, PC here.  I cut my teeth on keyboard-mouse.  Just a personal preference though.  There are a large number console users here in the office though.

Trackball or normal mouse?

Does the dev team take their own play experiences into account when balancing, or do you leave that to the QA team and community feedback? I know it's hard to balance something you make yourself due to increased familiarity.

Bump for upgradable Collector Rifle!

What an awesome post!

Which of you likes to play the Vorcha? Batarian? Drell?

I like playing my Vorcha soldier, regen (of course, I mean who wouldn't?), Carnage, and the melee is fun.  Of course, I feel like I need to stop slathering drool all over my keyboard with those sounds he makes

Corey Gaspur loves his Batarian Sentinel and is constantly asking for buffs on it (not that Eric will budge).

Derek why u no tell eric to buff the BROTARIAN sentinel, he needs some lovings ;p

Do you folks get to play the game while you're on the clock?

The Playtesters of course do...

Let's see if I can answer these last Q's in a quick way:

Eagle?  Yes, I use the Eagle on occassion.  It's light weight makes it a decent "caster" weapon.  Most pistols are meant to fall in that category.

Collector Rifle?  I can't really comment on it, sorry.

Trackball / Mouse?  Mouse

Dev team does take their own gameplay experience into balance changes or issues...Eric is a very proficient infiltrator

Yes, occassionally we do play on the public servers during working hours, particularly when we need to check how one thing or another is affecting gameplay in "the real world."  Ooh, scared myself when I said that.

Their official names for Xbox playdays are like BiowareDev# so they kinda already do.

When you're this cool / tough, who needs to dodge?  If Garrus can take a rocket to the face then so can I

That quote in your signature, is it made up or did someone said that actually?

But can he take the seven rocket troopers shoot at once? Can he survive two banshee warps and a cannibal grenade? Can he survive a brute charge blocking him in a corner?

Nope, but he can roll from cover to cover.


EDIT: Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread and turn it into a Turian roll discussion. Mr. Hollan, you should check out the thread linked in my sig (click the Turian one).

You're on the spot. Your team have left you the ability to take only one weapon into your game. What is it and why?
