Hey Derek,

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


I won't say it will never happen.

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


Bryan Johnson.  Of course, Chris Shanche and Bjorn Taylor are no slouches either.

PS - Eric is pretty darn good too.

Hey Derek

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


I will always have a soft spot for the soldier. Image IPB

Battlemaster is pretty tough though. Image IPB

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.

Joseph


Counts as a different map.

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?


NPlewes rules the Vorcha.

"I AM ALIVE!", is the chant they yell whenever he graces them with his presence.

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?


I'm not so bold.  I usually go black with red or blue highlight.

We play a variety.  It keeps us thinking and we do appreciate what other developers are introducing to the market.
X-Com is a big one right now
Borderlands 2 has been fun
Torchlight 2 also keeps me occupied at times.

Many others as well Image IPB

It's great to see such a wide variety of genres and styles to choose from.

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?


I keep hoping so.

I can't really comment any further on what may or may not be coming though.

To be honest, 'Street Sweeper' seems to fit SMGs better than shotguns - isn't Street Sweeper the nickname for the Tommy Gun, after all?

I'd recommend switch Street Sweeper and change the title for Shotgun Master to Hitman.

Just a query about a feature I didn't know existed till tonight, the one where if you stand still for a few seconds and stare at another player's character for a moment his or her title will appear underneath their Gamertag.

Just wondering if this feature could be made possible to be a constant effect? Would be pretty nice and also making titles have a more present effect.

Hey Derek,

Any chance we can get an answer about the feasibility of changing the Quick Match screen?

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/14606933/1#14606933

Please? And if no, an brief explanation of the difficulties would be appreciated.

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.



I noticed Brenon H was grinning mischieviously a lot. Image IPB

ME MMO?  I would play.  Not sure where something of that scope would stand at this time though.

Considering the 'demand impacts supply' adage that keeps showing up, consider this request seconded.

No, That belongs to a revolver style shotgun popular amongst street gangs.

The Tommy Guns nickname was "The Chicago Typwriter," If you played RE4, they refrenced it with one of the new game + guns.

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.


At this point there are a variety of ideas and possibilities.  I won't say no, but any changes to existing kits would have to be done in DLC.

It does take a lot to add.

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

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!


It is a cool idea but it would require a re-ship of the Volus.  DLC only.

Anyway, what sort of music do you listen to while playing?
