 Why, why, why, would anyone think it was a good idea to add a Volus anything? 


I hear cocaine's a hell of a drug.

Points for the Reference. Anyway, this threads getting pretty long. I don't know about you guys, but I've actually got a little hope for what the blowback from the community will bring. After all, BW listened to the idiots who thought they'd make a good addition, so perhaps they'll hear the ones who know it's not.

Indeed.  Hopefully BW gets it.  We're like that quarian in ME2; we don't take chit from volus.

I want to play a Volus riding an Elcor like a ME version of Master Blaster.

Perhaps the Volus will make you get better drops from the store. Then EVERYBODY would love Volus.

This thread houses about the opinions of estimate: 30 something people.
Most of the negative comments come from Rif and Betrayal. There's also a good amount of people for Volus.

If they're ready made and are deployable for MP they will do it. After all. The ending happened. Granted it was rectified (mostly well imo). If I were you I'd be hoping that the volus were a Hoax for dataminers.

Otherwise. They're coming. The blowback will be from the Lore purists most likely. Dunno how many there are.

TLDR: This thread houses a minority. Take from that what you will.

I don't know where I actually stand on the inclusion of Volus in MP. On the one hand I enjoy lore, but on the other I really don't care about lore in MP. Thus I am on the fence for Volus in MP.

Really? You know what the backlash will be like if they were going to put Volus in and they don't at this point? They'd only release 12-14 characters instead of the full 16 and if it is because of whiners, then everyone else will FLIP OUT on those whiner. Destroying content, even if some don't like that content, is not something you'd want to be responsible for.. xD

I'm only skeptical because, I'm afraid it might get silly when they start running out of ideas, or something along those lines. Kind of like TF2 with the hats....

That would be GLORIOUS, seeing all the "lol its just a game, calm down" people snap because they didn't get their immersion murdering meme joke character.

Yeah, having the same problem here. But 4 Volus, 2 of them being biotics seems a bit too much. I'm pretty convinced this a dev troll to fool dataminers from discovering content that is related to the Omega DLC.

We are short and only recently we learned how to fight. But we do not let the Reapers ruin the business. And we learn fast.

The word estimate:

es·ti·mate/ˈestəˌmāt/

Verb:

Roughly calculate or judge the value, number, quantity, or extent of.

Noun:

An approximate calculation or judgment of the value, number, quantity, or extent of something.

Synonyms:

verb. appraise - evaluate - value - assess - rate - calculate
noun. estimation - appraisal - valuation - evaluation - rating


Granted I pulled a number outta my arse. But It's a guess.
You know that offer to give your brain to me and science still stands! You clearly aren't using yours.

A thread VS a charity movement like the Retake.
Frankly. I don't care either way. Volus or no. This thread is bad.

TL;DR: Ziegrif Can't be arsed to count and Rif Can't be arsed to read.

You're missing the point of my post and assuming why I don't want Volus. The idiots who thought that "Biotic God" crap was funny were simply louder than those who thought it was not. The way I see it, all we "volus-haters" must do is be loud as well. It will at least be worth a shot. Your comments on our thoughts 'not mattering' are very insulting.

...but yes. I'm hoping both for the Volus to be a Hoax for the dataminers, and the re-skinned "new" characters to simply be placeholders.

That's exactly why I don't want them in Multiplayer. They're a joke. Once they become included in the Multiplayer, that too will become silly.  Besides, the work that they put into programming them would've been much more appreciated had it been aimed at new units (STG, anyone?) or at least new skins for the new characters (I doubt I'm the only one who thinks re-skins are lame).

The more I think about this the more I'm certain that the volus as just place holders to avoid leaks. It just doesn't make sense to add them. Bioware respects their franchise too much to add joke characters that break lore like this and even if they did decide to add volus it would be 1 kit not 4 of them! I mean, if they were to add something rediculous as a place holder this is exactly what they would choose. My guess right now is that these volus will be replaced with mercenaries coinciding with the Omega DLC in the fall:
Volus Engineer -> Blue Sun Salarian
Volus Adept -> Eclipse Asari
Volus Mercenary -> Blue Sun Batarian
Volus Protector -> Bloodpack Krogan

It would coincide with this bit of challange data that was mined also:

Machine Mastery
Commando Mastery
Outsider Master
Blood Pack Mastery

This would also explain why they have been so secretive about what all 16 classes will be leaving us to data mine for answers.

We've already got one. Last I checked it was nearly 50-50 with a slight majority wanting Volus. Will edit when I find a link.

Ah I apologize if I insulted. It's just how I perceive things. In politics the loudest usually wins. Even if a minority. You're not being loud enough though.

And even then it's not certain. Were not in a democracy on the forums and developing a game is not a democracy either. Bioware simply does what it wants to do. And unless there's a stink equal or greater than the Retake movement nothing will be affected. It takes a lot to move developers at least that's what I've seen.

There is, but I don't have a link.

Votes for no were on the basis of adhering to lore, common sense, physics, game mechanics, and perhaps some simple hate on Volus for being 'annoying.'

Votes for yes were on the basis of "haha Biotic God meme," "screw lore I wanna have fun," "I'm gonna name mine Bowling Ball," and "trolololo let the flames begin."
