In the challenges section, it gives the option to set Operation Bloodlust banner, and when I do it, it doesn't show. Just wondering if it's a bug or if it doesn't actually have a banner to show.

Who isn't...? Darkwraiths can do both Co-op and PVP though... just got to find a willing host, eh?  
This is turning slightly dirty. Best to stop here lol..

Derek... What's your favorite 4-player team set up in ME3 MP so far? As in, the most fun or amusing team you have been a part of for a match?

During development for MP4, Chris S., Bjorn T., Boldwin L., and Eric F. were playing.  Bjorn was a Krogan (can't remember which kit) and Boldwin was playing a Volus.  Bjorn always takes the most offensive colouring imaginable with his characters.  This time, he was a big, purple, Krogan.

At some point during the match, Chris says, "This makes me want to dress up like a volus for halloween."

Bjorn replies, "This makes me want to dress up like Barney.  Period."

Big laughs were had

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.

Thanks for the response! My follow-up would be: did you consider adding a snap-to-target toggle within the game options? Would it somehow ruin sniping even for the decent players if they could turn snap-to-target off?

My store says "New" next to it nearly 100% of the time, even when I don't have enough credits to buy even a Recruit Pack. What's up with that?

Have you thought about re-skinning the Escort Drone to be an injured Elcor or Hanar that we would have to bring to safety, instead of dropping off the drone?
It would be a good way to add the 2 races to the MP, in my opinion.

Unless they are going to be made future playable characters...?!

I am unsure how big an undertaking this would be.  It would likely require a patch or new dlc.

I won't say never though.  Lot's can happen.

Bacon Bits or..... Bacon Bits?

Derek....

Can you please reverse the stealth nerf to Biotic Orbs and put the cooldown back to 3 seconds.... 8.37 seconds is way too long before being able to use other powers, especially for the squishy Volus.

Retaliation pack included 16 characters. Why 2 classes are being left out? I mean, there are 3 of each class, but two Vanguards and two Sentinels.

Under NDA? Technically Retaliation is out...

[legion 21]

is retaliation going to be the last multyplayer dlc or will we see more characters in the future?

Derek. In the spirit of a local Vancouver radio show.... Cut or Uncut?

Heh, not too personal eh?  Whatever happened to boxers or briefs?

The answer is encoded here:

CUT

TUC

Officially the oddest question I've been asked.



PS - Briefs

Hi Derek!

Can you comment on the lack of text chat in the PC edition? We've had a couple of comments from devs in the petition thread, but they were months ago, and consisted of vague "I'll look into it" stuff. Is text chat a lost cause?

Also, does the Bioware team find Geth frustrating to play against too? With the recent buffs to Pyros, the "fixes" that would perhaps have been better left unfixed, and the lack of fixes to things that everyone wanted to be fixed about the Geth *cough*Hunters*cough*, it seems like the devs don't actually play against Geth much.

It originally cooled down in 3 seconds??

Yeah and then they stealth nerfed it to 8.37 seconds when they fixed the turian card glitch.

Nothing too heavy like how to adopt baby krogans....

That's not my problem, I already adopted the baby Krogan, but he seems to just want to crawl around headbutting everything.... never plays with any of the other kids particularly well.... I'm a distraught foster-parent, and.... and I don't want to fail the poor orphan.... I just, thought you as a father could offer some advice....


But seriously:
As far as the original krogan go; yes, they have come on leaps and bounds since the patch on gold....

But is there any chance we can see their heavy melee brought up in line with the batarians? Say, 1000 damage baseline (currently at 700) and their headbutts increased from 300 to 500? If sniper rifles get monster buffs (and snipers did more damage than melee before....) is there any chance the non-kroguard Krogan can get some balance lovin'?

Currently the Krogan still surpasses the Batarians due to the Rage line.  Once that happens, you may as well step out in front of a Kenworth going 90 miles per hour.

Wow, really cool that a dev has taken time out to answer a few things. Soooo drells, poor drells, we know they will be buffed soon but how long must drell fans wait to catch up? Watching guys jet pack, instantly restore shields and launch devastating mines across maps....meanwhile, i throw my grenade and run my azz off to the other side of the map in fear a single shot will flatten me.

A few have been requesting points for volus restoring team mates shields? Is it at least under consideration.


Also which volus is your favourite?


Thanks for your time

Out of curiosity, how much play time do you get on this game in an average week?

Also, I'll take this opportunity to say thanks to yourself and all the chaps there for a superb game as well as your continued support to the multiplayer community.

I do get some time during working hours.  Need to keep familiary.  An hour or four during the week.  In the evening, I will jump into a match every so often.  About five hours a week.  Sometimes less if I feel a need to take a break.

And, it's our pleasure.

Hey Derek, hello there. Do you eat any snacks while you play ME3 MP? If so, what do you eat? anything chocolate related? any beer? just curious

Beer.  Chocolate.  Chocolate beer.  Beer plus chocolate.

Oh, and rum,

Cheers



PS - Beer too.

Hey  Derek, any thoughts on my spectator mode idea? Was it maybe even already in the "we're thinking about this" stage?

I want to know if i have to give some hope for my group or not.

How long do you guys plan on supporting the game? I'll keep playing 'til you guys stop supporting...

As long as we have a good base of players, we can continue to support.

I don't have those numbers though.  Sorry.

[DESTRAUDO]

Oh here is one. What are the chances of a gear that would apply ammo effects to melee. I know it would require a wait until the next major patch/update but would it be possible? The Paladin makes a great case for it.

What is your favorite map?

The new Ghost hazard map.  Trevor Gilday, our SFX artist outdid himself there.

Yes he did.  It's an absolutely stunning design (those water lighting effects!) and second only IMO to the environmental artwork for Rio.

Hi, Derek! So, there are rumors about Retaliation being the last dlc. I know you guys are almost always under non-disclosure agreements, but can you touch on that a little? I sincerely hope it's not.

I can confirm that is a rumour.

Otherwise, I am under NDA 

But is it the last DLC for MP? That's what scares me. We know you still have a lot of plans for SP DLC, but what about NDA (wholly expecting tan NDA answer from this, If I get one at all.)

Here's what we have:

[CENSORED FOR NDA]

  and if that keeps up, I will stil have a job.

Sorry I couldn't get to everyone's questions.  I will try again soon though.

I really must get back to work then home.

It's been terrific speaking with you all.
