Do you not want them to steal all your kills with their biotic wind?

Oh, god, I'd never play anything else if Biotic Wind were actually a new ability.

You will use it because we allow it.

You will love it because we demand it.

What if Volus were implemented in a way that enabled them to fight effectively? I very much doubt Bioware would add them waddling slowly and out of breath. They could be in an armoured suit with tank tracks, or they could use mass effect fields to levitate, or have boosters in their shoes.

Have some faith.

When the DLC is out, and enough people have played as the Volus to form a general consensus, then an intelligent discussion on the class would be good, but I really don't see the point in giving each other abuse over something we don't really know about. Forget about it being unrealistic having a Volus fight alongside people on a strike force on other planets, the only real difference between this class and any other they decide to add, is the physical limitations.

Do you not think that Bioware havent thought of this? They wouldn't go to the effort to design and implement the character model and animations if they hadn't really thought about how they would fare in the game. The people most concerned with the lore of mass effect surely is the developers themselves, making the character work in relation to the mass effect universe is probably the foremost thought in their minds - they didn't just go "Lets just add this for a laugh".

I could be wrong, but lets at least wait three more days until we make up our minds, like reasonable, sensible people would. There is nothing wrong with voicing concerns, its only natural - but lets keep things civil. Why don't we think of ways they could make something like this work, rather than stating why it won't?

Volus, if added, would probably have a tech-based or hazard-based system. It's waaaaay to early to tell, so anticipation is fun

[Hyperglide]

It's pretty ridiculous to think of all the races in the mass effect universe that the Volus even if they are pacifists, have never had a war or never had warriors. C'mon now. I bet they kick ass and then you'll regret spewing this vitriol.

And I get to see you eat a shoe.

The only way we'll have to eat a shoe is if we made a bet that you weren't the hundredth person to not understand the argument against them.  But honestly, my carpal tunnel's too bad from explaining it to the other 99 so whatever.

What if the Volus characters are really Ninja Stan?

[DullahansXMark]

Wah wah. Then I'll be kicking Geth out of every lobby I see, because my butt hurts from how much they steal my kills and whatnot.

I'll name one of my Volus Ninja Stan if they're added for real.

*Notices Pro-Volus telling Anti-Volus to calm down yet offended when Anti-Volus say that they don't want Volus in MP*

Yep I can definitely smell hypocrisy here....

Anyway, I just literally see NO REASON why the volus should be in there because the Volus are NOT SUITABLE FOR COMBAT, sure there may have been Volus Warriors at some point in the ME universe, but if you place an Alliance Marine and a Volus Warrior and tell them to fight to the death, the Alliance marine will win EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!

Also look at their arms, the only thing that they will be able to hold is a pistol and an SMG, and reloading either of them is going to be a ****.

Also in the Codex where it says that the Turians recruit people from "Absorbed" or Conqured species, they would be people from species that can, you know..... FIGHT!!


The only time I will accept a Volus in MP is the following
- VERY low shielding
- VERY low health
- VERY slow
- VERY low weight capacity
- Cannot Sprint
- Cannot roll sideways OR forwards/Backwards (If a Volus can roll then it will cause a lot of neck pain)
- Can only use Pistols/SMG's
- Cannot use Hydra Rocket Launcher
- Poor biotics (Biotics do very little damage agasinst enemies)

[Zeroth Angel]

+1.

[Jonata]

If you look closely at the trailer, there's a Krogan, a Batarian and a Drell using strange powers that they do not have in their vanilla version (the Batarian seems to be using Leash. for example, while the Drell looks like he's shooting an N7 Demolisher's Homing Grenade). Hence, flying Turians aside, the other new classes will probably be those 3. So the problem doesn't even exist.

[Cobra5]

If you kick Volus,

I'll just pick some other class till the countdown starts.

Then switch to volus in the last few seconds.

[Megadawg169]

I'll kick. No volus in my game. Though I'm still having doubts that its actually real.

[Installation17]

You will get so many reports from that. Microsoft/Sony/EA may very well ban you for "racism".
I reported you too.

I feel you're skipping the text in the few 5 pages before that said that it shouldn't matter if it breaks the lore/logic of the game, how do you think we got Geth and Quarians?

Whos with me 

I'd agree if there is an option ingame to physically kick one...

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

If volus gets added Im kicking every single one from games

That is ok. The rest of us will kick all non-volus players.

[cato potato]

Has anyone mentioned yet that the OP's position regarding volus seems to conflict with his own sig?
I don't want to see volus in MP either but anyone who wanted protheans isn't really arguing from a position of strength.

[Aaron360]

I don't mind the volus being added but if I unlock all of them before I get characters I'll actually use, I'll be livid!

LOL and Krogan/Volus football, drop kick those little bastards. I wish they were an enemy faction, I don't think I'd be able to play tho, I'd be laughing so hard while aiming at the little plump midgets.

I can see it turning into a mission on one of the waves

I hope your first 5 packs are all volus characters
