Just a couple (Hundred)

Do you ever think we'll see a PS3 "Play with the Devs" Event?

Do you think the CSMG will get a buff, and if we'll see any new Shoguns/SMGS of the Ultra rare variety?

Would you personally sing the lyrics to Fresh Prince of Glacier while being filmed?

Admittedly "Play with the Devs" events are driven by the platform owners.  Microsoft for Xbox and Sony for PS3.  I do not know the mind of Sony...Sorry.

SMGs...I don't think Eric is done "Balancing all the things", so anything is possible.

What? In the shower?

Hey Derek,

Is there any chance we will see the Blood Pack Punisher SMG or Executioner Pistol from the SP weapon packs in multiplayer?

All things remaining constant, who is the best MP player of the development team?

[MacGarrus]

Hey Derek

Shaman, Battlemaster, Sentinel or Soldier. Which of the 4 is your preferred Krogan?

[AresKeith]

Any plans for a new Reaper addition to the faction?

 Oh Derek I have a really interesting question for you!If a character's powers aren't as good as you had previously intended, is it even possible to change them via a patch or future dlc? Some of the new classes' powers are... Strange to say the least. Also... Can we have a character with defensive drone please? (It feels like it would've been better than combat drone for the volus... Sentinel(?))

Numbers can be adjusted but behaviours require patching.  We do have a couple defensive "pets.'   Albeit, they are static.  The Geth Engi turret and the Demolisher Pylon can be spec'd defensively.

Otherwise, it would require patch or new dlc.

Question on the Hazard maps vs. the Vanilla maps.

I've been playing Fire Base Giant with the Hazard but it doesn't count as waves completed on the Vanilla map. Is this intentional or is it coded as a "different" map?

Thanks.

Is it true that NPlewes has his very own pet Vorcha?

If so, Does it shout "I AM ALIVE" Every time it wakes up from a nap?

[VilyaEleni]

Hi Derek.

Do you have a preferred color to make your characters armor? (Hot pink krogans?)

What other games do you guys on the dev team play?

[Praidas]

Hey Derek,
We have so many aliens MALE species in Multi player so I've been wondering if we ever get female characters (FemTurian-FemKrogan-FemVolus-FemSalarian-FemBatarian-FemVorcha) anytime soon?

Hi Derek,

I was wondering if you can comment on the use of aim assist/snap-to-target on consoles. Why was this implemented and is there a way to remove it or tone it down? It's extremely frustrating to play as a sniper and constantly be directed to an enemy that you weren't originally pointing at when you scope, and it makes headshots with heavy weapons unbearable if you try to redirect your aim while under cloak (since your cooldown time will be high).

This was a debate issue during development and it was finally decided to keep it since MP does not have a time slow feature during sniping (we did try that too).  In order to make sniping more viable we had to keep a snap-to-target feature.  This was to help the majority of players.  The few really good snipers kind of had to bite the bullet on that one.  No pun intended.

Hi Derek

I dont know if this is in your domain.

I just got a pc version of the game, my third copy of this game.

I cant even get past the main menu, since it says invalid cerberus code and i have no access to those bonus content that collector edition promises...

I have talked to one guy over the phone, two guys over the livechat...reinstall the origin, reinstall the game...still does not work...they also gave me a new product code...i cant post on the pc tech questions because it would not recognize that i have a pc version of the game...

You think there is anything i could do ?

PS: I am redownloading the game atm...it will still takes 3 more hours...

thx

Bryan Johnson would likely want to collect your information.  He has run into this issue himself.

I would be interested in a defense drone.
It would be a nice change of pace compared to the other pets.

While it isn't viable in the short term, maybe it could be something to look twoards in the long run?

Do you think we will have an operation that will lower the UR drop rate a bit?

I won't say no.  At least, for a pack that could give one.

Can you give the Demolisher's pylon a (visual) distinction so that people know it's either weapon or power specced?

Not without a patch

Hey Derek...

ARE YOU THE ORIGAMI KILLER!?

I have never killed an origami.

I like multiple origami though.

[DESTRAUDO]

Derek , as the geth bomber was being coded into the game, was anyone in the office laughing maniacally? XD

Also, has the success of multiplayer given more credence to how viable a mass effect pve/pvp mmo would be? I would throw money at a mmo that had me3 multiplayers combat mechanics.

So hey Derek, mind telling us what your favorite power is?

Or even, your favorite power or combination of powers from each DLC?

Favourite power?  Dark channel.  Not to be confused with Dark Chanel which is the perfume of choice for Furies.

[BlackbirdSR-71C]

Derek:

The Turian racial stability bonus is a niche aspect that makes them incredibly unique. Any plans on of tieing other gameplay elements into character trees like this or the Geth Weapon damage bonus?

Like Firing Speed, Accuracy, Magazine capacity, Power Radius, Combo Damage, Damage against X etc. etc.

I just think that this is something that makes the Turians incredibly special, since you can get 100% stability, saving you one gear slot/weapon mod slot.

Have you guys considered adding more skin tones and more pattern options?

It does take a lot to add.

We have considered adjusting brightness of some of the choices though...Make some more...erm...vibrant.

PINK KROGAN!

My humble question: Which Asari is your favorite(if any) Justicar,  Vanguard or Adept?

I'm seeing it asked a lot. Is this the last DLC?!

Any thoughts on adding female Turians to MP thanks to the coming Omega DLC?

What's your stance on female Krogans being in MP?

I advocate female additions of MP kits.

I hope there are more in the future.  Time will tell.  (I am under NDA too, so I can't say yes or no at this point).

Female Krogans would be cool too.

Wonderful answers! Thank you!

I cannot make that promise

Hey Derek..

Have you and the dev team discussed putting in a patch a way for the Volus to see which teammates area low on shields to better assist with Shield Boost?

Cool idea btw!

What about an advanced option buried in the option menu with big warnings and such for disabling it, would you kindly? As have been said, it hurts a good amount of weapons based on precise shot placement.

Besides that, I have a question.

About melee powers like biotic charge. With the patch, the power now triggers the krogan rage and I have heard about it now also receive bonuses from melee boosts like weapon blades and gear.
Could you confirm if melee bonuses affect charge for either krogan or all the vanguards in general?

Thanks.

Derek,

I know you all have seen the multiple threads created over the months of increasing credit payouts for the lower difficulties. Now that we have a mountain of gear to unlock (and rank those up) any talks of upping the credit pay outs for bronze and silver? Especially now that the difficulty was "unintentionally" *wink* *wink* increased?
