My role for MP during main development was being able to deploy a build that people could play MP together in under 5min

Think we could talk your bosses into letting you folks try again?

Seriously, I live in Beaumont, beers to the team members that cut out the ridiculously long load times between starting Origin and actually playing in an MP game.  I've waited for a minute and a half on the main menu load alone.

Not sure what this question is tbh

Think he's asking to shorten the whole process of checking DLC, connect to EA servers, freeze a few seconds, etc.

Whole process takes about a minute and a half. It's kinda annoying.

We have a few programmers looking into speeding up connectivity

How did you guys come to a conclusion on the Asari Sentinel being released? Is is a voting process by the team? or does 1 guy choose the character that gets released along the balance changes?

If it is a voting system what character have you voted for to be released next tuesday?

It is called the Valkyrie, we released the Valkyrie weapon, and have operation Valkyrie

I hate answers like this... soo childish

It is childish to have a theme?

Just a real quick question I know others are wondering: Why skin tone on quarians and krogans(sorry I meant krogans with helmets) if you can't see skin and there is no noticable change in the character. Just curious.

Quarians it changes their visor colour, Krogan it changes their tubes, inner thighs, and on their legs.

I suppose the string could be a bit more descriptive for these kinds of things, but they do, do something

not at all; I love themes!  


BUT it's just coy when the question refers to a character and the response refers to a gun/operation . ... or am I missing something?  (quite possible)

Why was the decision made to have the Earth characters be restricted to a single gender?

Do you think it would be appropriate to go for "opposite" versions of the Earth characters in terms of specializations/appearances?
I.E. a more heavily armored sniper oriented male Human Infiltrator, a lighter more agile female Human Soldier, etc.

I have to take this from my approach, would I want to have to unlock another 6 characters + 24 appearance options for just having the exact same skills etc and just have a different gender, nope.

As for the decision to not make more female, I have no idea.

Well could there be a major tweaked faction similar to the Earth classes in the future?

They are all related, the other part of the question was ignored because it is something that I dont know (and I have previously mentioned) and it is something that I wouldnt reveal because it is classified as a future release.

What's the name of your cat?

Also, if that's not related to the game enough to warrant an answer, what is entailed in the process of designing new characters? Is one of you just sitting around writing down combinations of powers you haven't tried before, or is it more elaborate?

Chloe

I am not involved in that process, but it seems to me it is very much idea bouncing. The designers create something do a small prototype and then pitch the idea to the creative director. If it is approved then they work on it a bit more and add in modeling and animation.

Wow my dog is named Chloe too.

Also, if you could have any power from the game in real life, what would it be?

Hi Bryan. Which ending did you prefer?

Does it have any favorite lounging spots? Is cat satisfied with your offerings of food and affection?

Has this already been answered?

Is there a technical reason why character clones are used? Ive had another developer explain to me that using the same body across an entire race but swapping the head helps prevent fps drop and crashing due to the limitations of consoles (ram). To narrow the question down, is that limitation the actual reason why so many character kits look exactly the same? I don't even ask that Bioware create new assets but I'm very acute to the fact that old assets go unused. Someone at the studio must have noticed that Asari Sentinels already wore something completely unique in Mass Effect 2. Are older game assets off limits?

Thanks for reading.

Hi so one work related ? have you ever heard of anyone seeing the host move around the map up side down and or no enemies visible?    if not I had both this morning.... the guy being inverted was LOL and the no enemies visible was     condor vs reapers xbox silver



Oh Doctor Who fan...

Spoilers: sort of well... alot really
Statue of Liberty and New York and Angels... "I always rip the last page out of a book,I hate endings...."

EDIT: sorry.

















   ok  no more spoilers I promise.
Did you watch the impossible astronaught?  The "******" were really cool. ( but I promised no more spoilers )
if you haven't I believe it's season 6 episode 1 and 2.  season 6 was pretty cool liked it. "Deamons Run"  would watch again just to see stuff get blown up...


well have a Great day.
If you have a Carnifex it's better than a Palidan for damage, clip size, wieght*(till lvl 10 then it's the same) 
It could be better. 
 **or are you hoping for a Palidan so you don't get it? (**don't answer this please)

My cat will sit in my lap as I play sometimes, I dont recall which one she has put her paw on the screen the most for I believe it is a vanguard.

Atop her scratching post, my cat is happy about her food but never about affection she is kind of an attention **** and never gets enough

Indeed this is a technical limiation, as having a lot of different assets loading into memory can cause many issues. 

No old assets are not off limits.

If this is some sort of slang, I am not sure. If it is in reference to working out occasionally, wont talk about specifics though

Hey Bryan, Just wondering these things...

1) What are your thoughts on some players suggestions for buffs/nerfs?
2) Do you eat any Seafood? If so, what food?
3) Are there any games you excited for that are coming out?
4) How's the weather there up where your at?

1) Personally I dont really read the threads, since I play a lot myself I try to form my own opinion and bring concerns to the gameplay team
2) I do, but not that often: Shrimp, Prawns, Crab, Lobster, Muscles (Tend to not like fish except sushi)
3) Not supremely the game that I was the most excited about has already come out (Borderlands 2)
4) -8C, with snow on the ground I believe (~17F)

Here's something I've been curious about..

How difficult would it be to change the "lobby names" of the Asari Justicar and Ex-Cerberus Adept/Vanguard to something unique? Right now, the Justicar appears as "Asari Adept" at the top and in the lobby screen, and the Ex-Cerberus guys say "Male Human ____", which as you know also refer to other characters with different skillsets.

Would that be a complex fix, or do they not have unique names in the lobby for a reason?
