Actually. Completely legitimate question here Derek - Has there been any discussion regarding changing the visual brightness/color of Hunter Mode? Players like myself can't use that ability without getting serious migraines. I don't have any other troubles with any other powers, even including Bloodlust, Devestator Mode and Marksman that use similar effects.

(Thanks for your sig, reminding me, Phoenix!)

Do you guys play the MP often? or just want to be far away from it after working on it and revolving around it so much?


We do still play often.  The live team and the gameplay team make this a priority to stay current.  So, yes, often in a balance meeting if someone brings up a weapon or build, the folks on the team most familiar with those weapons or builds will speak up regarding the overall feel of them and will support balance change insights.

Derek, what do you have to say about the great Biotic God OneTrueShot and his claims?

No problem, and while I love to play the geth so much I'm now completly immune, I dont think it would hurt to get the brightness turned down. And I'd actualy like to know to, especially since one reason why my freind can realise the true epicness of the GI is because he cant stand "migrane mode"

This is an interesting thought. I often can't see the objective's arrow when I have hunter mode on. I end up looking like a dork spinning around, trying to find the waypoint, when the objective is right behind me.  Also, I tend to shoot teammates when they have either devistator mode or bloodlust on, because when I see the red outline, I think "enemy".

This, this is the only thing that still gets me on hunter mode and I cant just ignore. I look like an idiot looking for that device to disable since I'm the only infiltrator Image IPB

but Hunter Mode is comeptly worth the occasional objective difficulty. seeing things through walls is a big help when I can yell at people not to run into the atlas. plus it has enough diversity to give the engineer his power upgrades in GI his weapon.

But I digress, I could sit here and argure the epicness of the geth all day but...

Suggestion for MP Gear.  Not sure if this is good idea or not. But, I was wondering if it'd be possible to get UR Gear Equipment?

For those who enjoy Platinum/Gold games. Be nice to add Lvl X Gear/Access/Mods + maybe some New (Ultra-Rare) Only Equipment

just a suggestion

I enjoy employing a GPS with my GI.  Black paint pattern.  See how many players I can get to shoot at me. Image IPB

Geth pulse rifle+ geth plasma SMG and trooper grey for my engineer. with just the lights blue to give skilled players the slightest notion of who I am.
Oh but for my GI, I just used blue and white, I get shot at enough when I'm invisble and its on cerburus

That would be up to the designers.  It has merit.  I just can't promise anything.

Take it easy on him guys, he really can't discuss DLC or me personally in any sense of a business perspective, as it could be assumed he is giving an opinion for an entire company and not just his own. Unfortunately, he's under an NDA (Non-Disclosure-Agreement) which means he really can't talk about much outside of his own personal experiences, thoughts and very few internal things that are finalized and not of fiscal risk to the company.

We're not in the late 80's anymore. Companies protect themselves to stop others riding their coat tails. Just remember guys, it's completely possible that anything 'leaked' or posted by anyone outside of official staff is either unfinalized, untrue or completely conceptual.

I, personally, refuse to state my stance on such.

Derek, is there a specific reason (yes or no is fine) that you do not utilize community members as moderators. Not full MOD's, of course, but a team of members that can handle some of the smaller things like closing repetitive topics, warning members when things might get too heated, the ability to hand out short term bans for flagrant offenses. I know this will be followed with posts of what a horrible idea it is, but I have seen it work on other forums and it takes a lot of pressure off the BW community managers. The forums here have anyways seemed a bit out of control.

Are there any classes that you personally would like to see added to MP?

Not asking if any will be, but if you could add a (realistically optional, as in not an Elcor Infiltrator-Vanguard hybrid) class, what would you want?

oneshots right, but I belive discussing how to scare people with our geth is hardly violating the NDA

Derek, can you announce that you could possibly announce that in the future something will be announced that will announce some possible MP DLC? Any sort of announcement will do, as i have been completely inactive for about a month now, but i want to come back. Ive been Dark Souls'ing for the past month and im currently on my third playthrough and not looking back. But i want to look back


Any possible announcements would be done by the announcement fairies.  If there is anything to announce, you will hear it.  Otherwise I am under strict guidelines not even to hint at what the studio is working on, including timings.  I really wish I could tell you about all the exciting things we are doing here but, alas, I cannot.

If I was a ham, I would currently have no arm as I'm rather peckish and a good sandwich would go down well.

I really like when devs share with us, mainly when there is a nice talk like in this thread, this is what we need more here, the problem is that not everyone is capable of hold a civil conversation when they dissagree with something.

I like the civil talks, because I feel that is always possible to get into an agreement if everybody talks in the correct way.


Derek, I will be glad if you answer this, if not, I perfectly understand your position.

Do devs take in consideration the comunity ideas for new content?, I mean, we have users here with very good ideas, do bioware take those ideas in consideration or devs just work in what they think?

We use quite a few non-staff volunteer moderators actually. 5 of the mods for this forum alone are not staff, just people we approached who were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, etc and asked if they wanted to help us as moderators.

Derek, are you able at all to answer my question on hunter mode? Or is that something you aren't able to discuss? Just really sucks not being able to personally get the most out of a class due to a physically debilitating aspect of a skill.
