^They do want some form of that to exist, but for whatever reason it's a touchy subject they aren't allowed to comment on, until they work it out with their superiors or what have you, we're just going to have to be patient.

You need to start patching more often and more effectively. With the two DLC packs you've added more bugs (and by extension glitches) than you've fixed since the game was released.

The issue here is PC testing and capping needs to be de-coupled from the other two. Certification for the other systems can't be sped up. The policy is out of the BW's hands. The pc shold be the lead platform in terms of non-data fixes, content testing and balancing, so that when patches for the other two systems are approved, the system agnostic details are worry free.

You can still release the approved finalized content at the same time to prevent enviative butthurtitis, but other companies have figured out quite a while back, that normalized releases tend to be a giant pain in the ass in terms of 100% stable agnostic fixes.

so I have seen 2 different people posting about modding single player mass effect 3 getting you banned from all online features even if there is no cheating involved, is that true or not?

@DarkerCompanion

I pretty much said it in that post, interrupt the animation of swapping weapons by going up a ladder, whichever weapon you switch off of turns invisible (only works on one weapon at a time, and picking up Pizza's/Packages makes the weapon reappear, requiring you to repeat the process, though if you're out of missiles you can't pull out your launcher, so you won't be able to make it invisible again).

What is a maximum punishment for griefing? How many reports must a player have against them for a punishment to be enacted? How do you deal with the people having different opinions as to what griefing is and is not?

All it takes is 1 report. We can look certain types of griefing up on our end and really there is no maximum as I'm sure in a very rare set of circumstances a user can be perma banned (although said user would have to have gone out of his way many, many times to be banned).

Griefing is an interesting topic an one I had hoped to address sooner rather then later. At this time i'm okay with the perception and varying definition of griefing. If it takes away from your experience you have a case, if it's a rare case it holds different weighting then something that is reported extremely often and has a clear negative impact on anyones experience.

Hey, my main question is regarding the Invisible Weapon Glitch which happens when swapping weapons while going up a ladder (where the only glitch is appearance related), it grants no edge in the game so I can't imagine it being frowned upon, but is it something the Bioware team has a problem with, and might I request the glitch never be fixed and that at least one ladder be included in all new maps?

I despise the appearance of the Cobra Missile Launcher on everyone's back (it's bulky and it clashes), so I make it invisible on any map that lets me (and admittedly, it does give me an edge where it makes me feel/my character look more badass). I am somewhat concerned about being resported for it however, as I do it every game and I play a lot with randoms (often explaining the glitch just so they don't think I'm cheating).

As such, I was also wondering if a stickied list of all "glitches" that offer no tangible benefit in game and are allowed to be used might be compiled such that people have an easily referenced official statement on the matter (I for one would like it to become a thing everyone does in every game they play, I really hate that Cobra and would even prefer missiles be removed from the game entirely if I could just have that eyesore out of the picture).

That is all, thank you for your time and have a great day.

No real advantage, besides style, no problem

Not true if it only effects SP. Some of the code can also effect MP and if you go into MP with the modified file then you are at risk even if you're not aware of what you have done (which is a very, very rare case).

Is it? That's unfortunate, but I guess I'll just enjoy what we got. Thanks for answering that for me.

Let's get specific. If someone "featured" in a video like this (disclaimer: probably NSFW), but in ME3, were to send it to you in a griefing report, what actions, if any, would your team take?

What is your "QA Remote Logger" that you have built into the game. I have seen it set to enable in Coalesced - I would like to know why you are gathering screenshots and gamesaves. I would assume that debug logs and game statistics would be more useful to QA.

Cosmetic enhancements are A-Okay.

I've got a question, Thomas. Please, do take with all seriousness.

Pancakes or waffles?

If an Abram smashes and no one is there do hear it, does it make a sound?

I've never cheated or glitched, but IMO, the insta ban is a bit harsh. Like many here, we've been playing games online for years. I've had my share of CS and still play TF2 and even the staunchest server admin will give warnings first about breaking rules. Even multiple offenders would get a 3-5 day ban, but rarely a life time ban.

IMO, for example, if someone glitches or mods that gives them creds, warn them, reset there N7 to "1" and make them start over. The next time they are caught, then ban them.

People who cheat are going to keep doing it regardless of any warnings. They may stop doing it in whatever room they're warned in, but will continue in the next one they go to. The only way to deal with them is to remove them from the population forever with a permaban.

If people knew getting caught doing this stuff would result in them never being able to play again, few would risk it.

I know not one admin that does not instantly ban a cheater @kuato

Fair enough, me too!
However that does not imply that you know any admin who instantly bans a cheater either

e.g. I do not know any admin, so your statement perfectly applies to me, yet it does not mean anything...

[shards7]

Yea took me like thirty mins to find a game where someone didnt say they are using the missle glich. Finally found a good team and had fun. This sht needs to stop.

[LadyAlekto]

Zso_Zso i had several server setup during my gaming, from quake to blackops. So now you know at least one admin.

I never would warn a sure cheater, the banhammer hits the moment i know it. And all i know who ever owned or who own a server, none of them wants to suffer a cheater.

And i hope bw feels the same about cheater, and also i hope they know to differenciate between skill and haxxs (very hard to see on truly skilled fighter)

[Chevyboy88]

I have a question I would like answered although I suspect I already know the answer to be that it is not a cheat since it is obviously not intended or done willingly.

We all know the glitch (happens most often with Vanguards) but can still happen to any class, usually involving clipping something you are using for cover where you fall through the floor and appear to hover in the air unable to take any action most of the time.

However as a side effect of this most of the time you are rendered invulnerable and some enemies do flock to you. My question is, is finishing the game considered abuse of a bug? Again I highly suspect it is not since this is obviously more of an annoyance to the player than it is helpful. I just don't feel right leaving a game on round 9 or 10 and missing out on all the hard earned credits.

[megawug]

IMHO, once an exploit becomes too common knowledge, it has to be patched. Otherwise, a lot of people will get banned, and we'll have fewer players.

I don't think you can abuse a bug that you have no control over when it will and won't happen. You also typically can't extract, move very well, revive people, or kill enemies... so your team is essentially left with a crippled invincible player.
