Of the 3 new collector weapons, which is your favorite (sniper, smg, ar) and why?


I still enjoy assault rifles though the smg can really rock hard with the right mods...I'll leave you folks to figure that out.  You haven't let me down so far. Image IPB

Hey Derek, I'd like to know why a claymore shot does more damage than a krogan charge (force 'n damage build)

No really, that power is becoming worthless.


Hmm, why is a shotgun more powerful than a linebacker's tackle?

Good question.

Why was the Paladin shipped without a biotic power? As awesome as he is now, he should/could have had a biotic power (lash maybe?)


It was a design decision.  None of his existing powers fit a biotic profile.

Hey Derek. Thanks for the awesome MP! :)

Fast question, do you use Linux? If yes, what distro? :)
Just for curiosity sake. :P
(I use Ubuntu myself)

:)


I do not use Linux myself though I have experimented with it.  Various dists.

Derek, are you going to answer anymore questions?


I beleive he will be, but it is the weekend.


Only Bryan Johnson stalks the forums during the weekends.


More evidence to me that Bryan may be a synthetic. Image IPB

Why do the patch notes say that krogans and batarians should get stunned less than other races but they seem tog et stunned even ore than before?


Perception.  Their thresholds are definitely higher than they were.  Any enemy that does enough force to break that threshold will still stagger them.

We have an ordered but flexible list.

Baby quarians?

No cryo nades because cryo explosions from recent balance mod, right? Is that the cause?


Not sure what baby quarians have to do with cryo grenades. Image IPB

Cryo grenades were mentioned in the same thread that requested tech charge. Were tech explosions modified in detonation to satisfy that request?


We felt that tech explosions would help make tech powers as desireable as biotics.

What are your thoughts on a sniper or smg melee damage mod? Not asking if/when it will happen, just curious what you think about the idea.


Might throw things out of whack from a balance perspective.  Otherwise...cool!

Separate action keys(E for interact, shift for sprint) or the do everything space bar of ME3?

If you played ME1 on PC which do you prefer?

PS: Thank whoever came up with the N7 Paladin, unlocked him last weekend after taking a long break from MP and love the class.


I understand and support the design choice.  However, for strictly personal reasons I wouldn't have minded a bit more customization in that regard.

I preferred ME1 on Xbox but PC is still fun.

Given the success of MP, can we take it for granted that there's gonna be MP in the next ME game or even as a standalone game?

I know, I know, you can't answer that yet, I know. But if I can trick you into giving us vague hints, I will, by all means.


Here's my reply:

[NDA Censorship]

...and that is why Krogan babies smell like fresh turnips.

Not sure if you can answer or not...but was the Turian Havoc originally going to be a Vanguard? I ask because of the Vanguard Extraction Progress that Cyonan found in the patch before retaliation dropped.


The thought here was that he was still first and foremost a soldier all but that one power.

Derek,

Did the last patch make it easier for you guys to fix bugs via the weekly balance changes? I ask because Eric made a comment that post-patch you'll be able to tweak the drell kits in a way you couldn't previously.

Are you guys planning another patch? /obligatoryquestionyoucantanswer


The patch helped us so that we would be able to tweak a lot of things.

I can't answer the second question.

 Just in case my question got skipped I'll quote it here

KENNY4753 wrote...

If you could have any character not already in the game (or waiting to be releases), what would you choose?

I would choose a Quarian Male Sentinel or a Salarian Spectre (any class)


also another question:

What is your least favorite enemy?

The Rocket Troopers or Geth Bombers are my least favorite.



Husks.  I just want them to stop touching me!

And how awesome was it when you first played the Havoc/Ghost?


Turians with jetpacks.  How couldn't it happen?  It just sounded awesome! Image IPB

First time I tried them I was dodging all over the place and failed to complete the match. Image IPB
