HOW DOES THAT WORK?

Derek, I have contacted the people who run the ME facebook page, and I have read a decent amount of your replies on this thread. The ultimate reply, if any, is always "I'll pass the feedback on to the team." Same answer I always got for simple questions for the facebook people. And it's maddeningly frustrating. So here's my question for you (I look forward to you "passing the feedback on"), can we get a Q&A post? And don't panic this isn't a site-crashing thread for fans to spam. I mean, you open up a thread for questions, and then you post a single reply with the straightforward, clear, and concise answers from the dev team themselves. All you would have to do would be answer the most commonly asked questions. Honestly, if you did this every month or so, the forums would have so much less ranting, and you would earn huge amounts of respect from us. I know you have twitters and threads like this but the answers are given quickly and therefore answer nothing. And when every question is responded with vague, unclear, and roundabout answers, it's discouraging to players to even provide feedback. And then you pick and choose questions to answer, usually personal questions or easy-to-answer (from a business perspective) questions, which makes it feel like you're not even listening to your customers. So please, just take a little time to listen to our questions, and give us answers. In the long run that's all we want, and it will show us you actually care about the people that are paying you.

Hey Derek! I have a small question. I know you guys added skin tone to the Krogan Shaman, would it be possible to add the skin tone option to the male quarians so that we can change their visor colors like the females?

Also, someone asked about the name of Kal's ship a while back. I hope we get an answer soon!

Thanks for your time!

Any chance we can get an alt Council Operative banner with all of the Council races on it? Instead of it just being an Asari banner

I can ask.  I just can't promise.

Good enough for me. I'm just being nit picky since it feels like an Asari banner, and I'm not playing any of the Asari for it really...

Hey Derek,
Is anybody looking into/concerned with:
-more efficient matchmaking
-including ping function in lobbies

These questions do come up.  They would, of course, require a patch and reworking of some systems.  So, while I can pass the feedback along, I just can't promise anything.

This is incredibly disheartening.
We just got a patch, and that one took aeons to release; the fact that they couldn't have worked on issues like these is absurd.
How much dev effort do you imagine it took to integrate the challenge system into the game?
How much do you think it would have taken to integrate ping functionality, relative to that?

Seriously, there are a lot of people here who never buy stuff from the store but would easily pay $10/month just to have a reliable server hosting this game.

any update on harbinger voices for collectors in multi?

Changes like this would require a patch.  It is hard to say whether or not this will happen.  Based on how often Harbinger possesses a unit, he would be constantly yammering.  The sort of annoyance that would make one wish to bury their controller or mouse in their screen.

You could make it happen for the first unit of the wave, and the first time he possesses a particular type of unit. 

Also, need collector music for fighting collectors.

I will, of course, pass along the feedback to the team.

ty i know that this is wanted by a lot of people i hope that you find a way to work it

id link the thread but i dont know how i think you can find it on my profile page

Hey, Derek

I've got another question: Are the asari in MP supposed to be Commandos? I've noticed they're all wearing the ME1 Commando uniform (Ugh, it's so hideous), but their skill tree says "Asari Justicar". There's already a Justicar in MP. I mean, they don't seem like what I picture a Commando to be, but they're wearing the outfit.

Maybe you could change their passive skill tree name to reflect what they actually are? "Natural Biotic" seems like it'd be fitting. It'd at least leave room for another Asari kit later if you guys chose to make one.

Yes, the Asari available are considered the commandos.  The Justicar skill tree is simply the type of training available to them.

The Justicar kit, however, is specifically a Justicar.

Is there any chance the Asari Justicar skill tree could be renamed to save confusion?  Given there are quite a few differences between Asari Justicar on the Asari Justicar and Asari Justicar on the Asari (Commando) Adept/Vanguard, it would make the distinction clearer and discussion of the skills easier.

Hey Derek,

I'm thinking of buying treats and sending them to you and the multiplayer team as a thanks for making the MP of ME3 better with each DLC. How many are on the team, and do you guys prefer cupcakes or cookies?

(Also, if anybody says "I'm enjoying a treat, Derek" be sure to record it.)

Just wanted to add that I, too, fully support us finding out Kal'Reegar's ship name.

Hey Derek,

Is it intended for the camera to be offset from normal facing sometimes when you medigel? It messes up evasive actions, creating an extra hindrance in an already dicey situation if gelling with enemies around.

Hey Derek,

would you guys kindly think about it, to keep the consumables after disconnects? I mean disconnects of any kind.

It is just frustrating to lose lvl. 3 and 4 consumables just because i got disconnected from EA/Masseffectservers or when i disconnect from a laggy host.

Are there any thoughts about it?

More feedback.  I can pass this along.  Admittedly we don't want people exploiting this though.  Disconnecting yourself because you don't like how the match is going, for example, is not something we want to encourage.

Perhaps we get it back from wave 4 onwards?  Because from that point, disconnecting on purpose already means a loss in credits.

Hey Derek,

Has there been any word (any at all; please god say yes) on what will be done about Geth Hunters being able to shoot right through a Paladin's shield? He's may current favorite and he eats Geth for breakfast... except Hunters. Oh and also any word on the insane amount of staggering that Hunters can dish out? I really appreciate it! Keep up the great work!

Ahoy Derek,

I don't suppose you could whisper into the local code wizards ear and get them to add the challenge option to the lobby could you? It's awfully inconvenient to have to log out of the lobby and back again just to see it.

Ta Muchly.

The reason was a design choice.  People already mess around for long periods in the lobby without readying up.

Agreed.

Also, Lord Graal, if you're a PC gamer, have your N7 HQ up in the background and F4 to it during lobby breaks.

Or if you are one of us dirty console peasants, you could have your laptop sitting next to you that you F5 refresh after matches to check your progress live on N7 HQ. Not that I would know anything about that, of course, because that would be entirely too nerdy and geeky of me. *cough* *cough* Right, of course. No knowledge of that whatsoever, just a thought that occurred to me...

I am a horrible PC nerd and so have a dual screen set up I could move the browser to the other screen, however the way that ME3 is set up I would still have to ALT+TAB to access the browser to refresh it even though it is up on the other screen. The potential 15 minute delay is also a pain, though understandable if you consider that they have to move the data from .

Of course I'm assuming that the Challenge is updated in real-time in game? Derek, I realise that I'm lambasting you with questions, however could you say if ME3 MP challenge updates in real-time?

One last question, if I may, and to be quite frank I'm going to ask it anyway, are you a smidge jealous of those that got to travel to the UK and France for the Expos?

For now I must away, there are horrendous atrocities that need to feel heel of my boot! (Uh... I should clarify by that I mean in game, I'm not trolling the streets looking ugly people! )

Tally HO!

This sounds amazingly great. I want to see this or something similar in ME4. What's the most effective channel for passing on such feedback?
