Are you happy with the current state of the MP? What would you have the live-team work on?

Alternatively (if the Godfather won't allow you to answer):

Kit, weapon, power. Change and remove one for each.

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.

Cheers

Thanks man. Real cool of you to do this.

Okay guys, show's over. Return Derek's family and remove the electrodes from his brain, we got what we wanted.

This is more of a recommendation than a question, and I'm sure you or the team have considered it, so I was just hoping for comment.

Now that you have a challenge system that rewards a specific pack for completing a specific challenge. Many newcomers are now inundated with the vast array of rares. The tonnes of content is fantastic. But the newer people have little to no chance of getting decent items for quite some time, so that while their skill is top notch, their loadout cannot complement it.

What I would suggest is this.
Take one weapon, from each class of each rarity (think MP demo selection days, excluding any ultra rares) and create an achievement which unlocks the first level of each. That way, you could introduce people, give them a specific goal to work towards with a guaranteed reward to get them started.

I'm not a new player I know, but I understand the difficulty of unlocking stuff when there are vast swathes of possibilities and all you have is a random number generator.

Hey Derek,
Has there been any discussions on adding a banner selection to the Lobby, something that could utilize the right and left joystick click buttons? they don't do anything. Something that could bring up a quick select menu above the screen allowing you to switch the Challenge banner to what you want at the time? Also, is there any talk on harder difficulties?

[DESTRAUDO]

Take about a quarter of the existing rare characters/weapons that are not badass and set them as uncommons so they are easier for new players to get. Bring in more rare weapons to replace what is switched to uncommon.

Are you tempted by holiday seasons, e.g., special things showing up on halloween? I'm sure it's a lot of work, but it's so much fun. Banshees riding broomsticks across the sky would certainly get attention. I love the Krogan heavy melee laugh, I'd love for them to suddenly gain a white Santa beard during December as they laugh. If you've ever seen the Captain Morgan commercials, many of us have talked about how much fun it would be to see the geth gain the captain's pirate hat and eye patch at the moment of the foot-up-in-the-air for the Captain Morgan pose. Or gear that lasts for a short event like this and then disappears which allows non-Krogans to do the ceremonial headbutt (perhaps telling someone to not whine at the same time).

Is it possible that we can get a schedule for Retaliation character releases? Or maybe if the rotation for the hazard maps will always be the same pairs?

We intend (at least at this point) to keep each one a surprise.  We had intended not to accidently show our hand on them but the preverbial cat is meeerrrrrooooww...right out of the bag.

We intend to keep the map rotation random as well.  You CAN expect one map to be a non-damaging hazard and one damaging.

Any chance of throwing us a hint every week that's so vague, that our brightest minds here will only be capable of nailing the class down to like, four possible options? I think that'd build hype.

guys. it's over. you were too late. the questions can stop now.

What feature would you most want to see added to Multiplayer, no matter how unfeasible.

I tried to lobby for a game mode where you held out a position until it was overrun, then fell back to a second, third then fourth position until shuttle pickup.  Alas, it is too much to do.

That would be so cool. I had an idea very similar to that myself. Too bad.....

Whose character model do you like more, Female Quarians, or Asaris?

Asari.  Quarians do have the hips, but I still like the proportions of the Asari.

I would have chosen human shadow if you included that one though

finally - a real man on these forums.  the quarians look like little girls.

the asari on the other hand --- all woman.

Agreed, Blue Forever!

Why not incorporate the female skin for the Shaman like most were asking for? It would have been a unique look and most associate an adept Krogan with the female. I think quite a few were disappointed that it was just a reskin of the Battlemaster.

Hey Derek! I love behind the scenes creative process kind of stuff, and I've been wondering if you could give us some insight into what goes into the making of these powers and what both they and the characters look like? Do you guys just just find cool models and stuff in the files you like to see and edit them, or do you think of the powers and then create them aesthetically? An answer would be awesome. Also, you was the brilliant mind behind giving the new Turians ****ING JETPACKS!

EDIT: aaand I just realized you finshed answering. Oh well.

Hey Derek, as this is a question thread I got a simple one. I'd like to know will these operations be every week now or will it still be every 2nd as it was till now? And how many of you guys in the office practice skydiving?

well I lied, there were 2 of them >

[Man_of_Beer]

If you work on MP then you must be in the beautiful city of Montréal ... invite me to a staff 5-7 and we can chew the fat! I work for Sleeman, I'll provide da beers .

On a more serious note cheers for a great SP and MP game that I've spent (well until recently lol) countless hours on and plan on spending many more. I seriously should buy you dudes and dudettes a beer!

[Cheesylover]

Hi Derek, just a quick question,

When we get the Drell infiltrator..will the damage on their recon mine detonation be determined by cloak status when it was planted or alternatively when it is detonated?

Also, given the devs are very happy with the ME MP experiment, do you think ME4 will have mp also (or perhaps even an entire mp dedicated release?)

Hey Derek, just how hard would it be to include non-human kit like the Rachi, Elcor, etc?

[CapitateGoose]

Hey Derek.

Question about how the store work:
Can someone at BW decide to raise or lower the rate or quota for card categories, in selected packages?
To add more or completely remove selected card?

If yes, are there some events to make the decision maker more generous or less generous?
Thanks.

[Trick 1224]

Just wanted to thank you for doing your job very well. It's gotta be hard to deal with the overwhelming negativity that is the Bioware boards at times, yet you always maintain the utmost professionalism.

Your company has made a great game and the people who play it love it. I've never been hooked on a single player / multi player combo that is the Mass Effect series before in my life. Yall should be proud to work on this incredible franchise!

[3XT3RM1N4TUS]

Hi, Derek.

Just a quick question. Will weapons from paid SP DLC be available in ME3 MP? I really enjoy new hand cannon!
