What are your thoughts on a character built for powerful fire explosions? I.e. with % multipliers and debuff evolutions that can rival the human adepts biotic explosions. Any possibility at all?

We shall call him Michael of Bay.

It sounds fun.  I won't say never.

Hey Derek!

One of my favorite aspects of Mass Effect is the customizable experience from the story line to appearances. Would there ever be a way to increase the amount of customization options in multiplayer?

Or at least increase the saturation of skintones because they are rather unnoticeable, and considering they are the last one to be unlocked, you would expect them to be really fun and vibrant (Or darker for like a Krogan).

Tones and saturations have been discussed.  I won't say it won't happen because it is still a possibility.

Boxers or briefs?

It had to be asked.

This was asked "briefly."

Derek,
Last June I saw supposed leaked pics of new purchasable packs that was taken from the EU PS store. The packs shown had guaranteed unlocks for gun mods, characters, and even ultra-rare items. The pics suggested that the new packs would have released on July 7th, but of course that date has come and gone. Was this planned for release and later pulled or was it all just a fan made hoax? I realize if you can't fully answer this because of an NDA (and I'm hoping that's the case) and if isn't I hope you consider doing this in the future. Thanks

Will we ever get an alternative to the eyesore that is the Cobra Missile Launcher?

It is kind of clunky on some kits, isn't it?  Oh well, when you're that powerful, people call you Mister.  Alas, it will remain as is.  Sorry man.

We all know that Mister is in charge, and thus must appease His Royal Nibs.

Ah well, at least we have the ability to make it vanish on many kits...

Ooh. Can we get a "Hide Cobra Missile Launcher" option?

Also, in regards to Assault Rifles...

Has there been any thoughts as to y'know...weeding out the obscene amounts of them in UR/Rare status?

At this point there are no plans on hiding the missile launcher or of weeding out assault rifles.

Assault rifles may be in need of some love though.

So Derek, drell with kunai/shuriken? Can you see that happening?

Hi Derek!

Is adding more aesthetic options to our characters via DLC plausible, and do you think you guys will be releasing content like such in the future?

Via DLC would be the most plausible way of doing this.  At this point I really can't say whether or not this will be done though.  Fingers crossed.

I have three questions

1. Where do you stand on the effectiveness of Adepts, particularly biotic explosions?

2. Will cryo explosions be fixed on cryo blast at any point? Currently they do not trigger on cryo blast but the do on snap freeze.

3. Energy drain will not trigger tech explosions, fire explosions or cryo explosions. Can this be fixed?

Hey Derek!

I love the giant hazard map, where the change is just aesthetic. What was the idea behind having maps with a change in atmosphere that doesn't affect gameplay, and will we see more of these in the future?

That was certainly the idea behind the Giant hazard map.  Yes, hardly a hazard...Oooh! It's dark...Spooky, eh?

The other hazard maps affect visibility or have a damage mechanic.  Giant is the only one that is aesthetic.

Well, the hazard is clearly gazing at the scene and getting jumped by Dragoons.
I played the Kroguard on Ghost and didn't notice the rain affects the shields - I was in for a surprise with my Fury the next match.

Today I also forgot to put all the points into skills with my HE - I ended up with only an Eagle in a Silver match. No powers - no fitness. Well, appears to me shieldgate is really not broken - it saved my poor ass a couple of times.

Once you consider doing something about the difficulty - how about giving players back control over the camera while being downed? We could look at the situation and figure out an escape route easier.

I can pass this along to the team.  It has merit, I admit.  I just can't promise anything.

I realized you are still answering questions and I'll wait a bit for reposting mine

[Clayless]

How much different things do you discuss at a time for balance changes? Do you set aside a week where you talk about 1 character individually or do you talk about say all Engineers at once?

The single most glaring oversight in all of multiplayer is the sound effects the Turians make when their jet pack goes off.  How could you guys have over looked the clear necessity of a loud "Skreeeee!" eagle sound to accompany it?  Is there any chance of that being addressed in a patch?


:lol:

It's possible

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.

Are there any plans to add "Fury on a Long Pole" as a weapon for Novaguards?  Because Biotic Explosions.

[Immortal Strife]

I would also like to know if respec cards will ever become readily available. Could you put them in the jumbo pack possibly?

2. Apparently cryo explosions can only be triggered on targets who are frozen and not just chilled, but snap freeze is the only cryo power/ammo/ evo that can do it on both. Is this what you are seeing?
3.I heard energy drain triggers fire explosions on only synthetics i.e. geth.

Any closer to resetting the faction mastery challenge progress after banner's already been unlocked? Also, did you save the Quarians or let the Geth wipe them out?




Also also, why no blood dragon armor and chakram launcher for MP?

1. Not sure about that one.

2. I saved the Quarians. 

3.  It requires a level of customization not available in MP and would be a large undertaking.  The only way around it would be to introduce a kit with the armour.  The chakram launcher?  Well, who knows?  I won't say never.

Already been addressed, though I don't have the exact source.  I believe they decided that having to hear Harby constantly for 20 minutes at a time would get annoying really quickly.

It does detonate on geths and machines (atlas/cerb turret) but not on organics.

Is it a possibility that we will get an Infiltrator without Tactical Cloak.? Like the Nemesis Defector idea of her having Assassination instead of TC that someone presented a while ago?

It's a possibility.  Will it happen though?  I really can't say at this time.

I rather like the soft poofy air sound they make now. Please don't change!!

But the Fury sound effects seem to be all messed up. Every time I play her or play with one, the sound from her powers (not sure if it's AF, DC or throw that's doing it), overpowers everything else - even banshee screams!

Edit - And with regards to Giant at night being aesthetic... try playing as a Fury with AF on, with a vorcha using the flamer right next to you while lightning flickers everywhere. Can't. See. Anything.

OK, real question for Derek: How often do you get online to play? I know you guys did some pick up games a week or two ago. Was that a rarity?
