If you were stuck on a deserted island, why would you be stuck there in the first place?


Because I made it unsafe to be anywhere else.

Any chance of changing the Ex-cerberus character names to "Ex-Cerberus" or "Phoenix" in the multiplayer?


It would be possible but would require a patch.

I hope its in the next patch, because it seems unfair to those guys, you know? Image IPB


Better than being Ex-Ex-Cerberus, don't you think?

Any plans to address the increasing number of gold cards?

There is a mountain that makes it difficult for new or retuning players to climb


That is definitely an issue that is being discussed at a higher level than I, yes.

Along a similar vein, I'd really like to know what is going to be done for off-and-on players. Right now, the MP is very inaccessible to those of us who only have just enough time to devote to a couple matches every so often. I don't often get new equipment because I don't get a lot of credits, and I often get kicked from random games because my guns suck, even on Silver.

Also, what's the point in having all these fun new characters if we never get to unlock them?

Thanks Derek, I hope something changes soon. Kind of tired of not being able to pull my own weight in matches. :/

Hey Derek, do you think you could persuade(if not, bribe?) Eric to buff the Geth Pulse Rifle? :D

Maybe a slight damage buff (enough to make it viable) in exchange for weight increase? You know, so casters can't use it easily, but it can actually be worth something, but not so much as to outclass other guns (ie. Revenant)

I love the GPR, and it's such an iconic weapon, but it is little lacking. Outclassed by the Phaeston, at least to me.

Your an Assault Rifle enthusiast too, right? Help us, you are our only hope!

At this point, I do not know if there are plans to do so.  We don't typically rush to change them as we prefer to see how things pan out over a longer duration after releasing a new kit.

I have tried closing my left eye, sticking my tongue out the right side of my mouth, turning three times, and chanting Eric Fagnan, Eric Fagnan....It still doesn't make a difference.

Hey Derek!

I asked Bryan this question last night and I want your opinion on it. I asked Bryan who was the comedian of the entire Bioware staff, and he said it was Preston.

What do you think?

Or is someone else who is even funnier?

Derek Watts.  The guy is definitely a regular card.  He's the art director for Mass Effect.

Sorry to say, I must depart again.  I have been told beer has been laid on for the team.  I must investigate these claims.  I am sure you understand.

Hi Derek, 

Will Phase Disruptor ever be made a scootch stronger than it currently has been? Without a My Buddy Volus under the Slayer's arm, PD feels... lacking in "oomph".:mellow:

Hey Derek, I remember you saying the one non-Mass Effect race you'd bring into the game would be Klingons. So now I have to ask...

Klingon vs. Krogans. Winner?

Which super-power would you take of these 3?

-Super strength and super speed
-Being incredibly smart and the having the ability to read minds
-The ability to turn invisible (including your clothes and anything you can carry)

Personally I'd go with #2

I undertsand you guys don't have access to the information, but I was wondering what you think of my idea.

We have these weekend challenges now that use the new challenge system to grant a Commendation Pack for success. So my idea is to use this challenge system we already have in place to give players a chance to unlock more items. The thing I want to see most are character unlocks. I think it is crazy with how many characters we have now, and the vast majority are rare. The diversity of the characters are what makes this game special. Why keep that locked away by a random store?

Anyway, my idea is to expand the challenge rewards to other challenges, and reward players completing them with special Commendation Packs that have a random item that is related to the challenge.

For example, a player using an adept completes a certain number of adept related challenges. The game rewards the player with a Character Commendation Pack (CCP) that contains a random adept card. This greatly increases that player's chance of getting a new adept they have not unlocked yet. Since the card is still random, nothing is guarrenteed. Also, since challenges can only be repeated after completely finishing the gold level, that will help keep people from being able to farm the challenges too easily.

So this method uses the system that is already in place, though I imagine it may still need a patch to do, but who knows. Still, I think this idea can work. And perhaps it can be applied to regular guns as well (not the promos.) It should be easier to unlock uncommon guns and items at the very least. Having level 3 ammo as an uncommon has totally screwed over the viability of the Vetern Pack. A new player who has to play Bronze is pretty steamed to plunk down 20k and get nothing but consumables for it.
