What part of this games development are you most proud of?


Despite the hard work that has gone into it the way the team is able to relax and internalize. Having team meetings where beer and chips are being served and we get to hear about the exciting things each department is working on.

 Since you enjoy trance, what do you think of this tune ?


Listening


Was pretty mellow, so not my typical tune, but good for easy listening

Hello Bryan, appreciate you taking the time out to answer players' questions.

Regarding the current Store system, do you feel it is acceptable for Ammo/Consumable IVs to be awarded at such a high rate - or at all - while Rare Weapons/Gear/Characters are still left to be unlocked?  I understand the need to have a filler item for players while we're attempting to unlock URs but personally I find receiving them with hard-earned credits while still needing permanent items to be severely demotivational.


I dont feel it is unacceptable, no. I know the system so I know how it works and it will only give out to those that have a resonable number of things maxed already.

Is it possible to increase the chances of getting Ultra Rare weapons without a patch?

Why was this thread not called "The life of Bryan"?

Could we get a page/post like this that goes over the drop system for the store? It would help to clear up why we see ammo/other cards when we aren't expecting it (honestly I have no idea how I pulled a IV with my manifest). 


No, I am not discussing the specifics of the drop rates. Also you would have gotten 1 from a victory pack.


Also I am not a huge monty python fan

Hey Bryan, what was equipment originally designed for in this game, because i though it was suppose to be used in emergency situations but other players tend to use it very casually. Would you guys ever consider giving the host the option of turning equipment off?

Which equpment, like rockets etc? If so no not really, people can use as they please.

No I would think it is unlikely and would upset players to not be able to use what they have earned/paid for

1) Was Kal'Reegar given a ship name when he was created? I want to say Qwib Qwib.

2) What do you think about the idea of adding Spectres in MP?

3) How's Canada this time of the year?


1) Wasn't on ME2
2) Not sure how it would work
3) Edmonton is starting to get cold (but I still wear shorts)

Do you think the team will ever implement a system where you can create a Human class with any choice of three powers using credits and better powers for higher challenge points, a Alliance Cyborg so to speak kinda class?


I would say no, personally because of the amount of technical aspects that would require

Can you explain why the percentages for mag size in devastator mode don't round up? ie 2 shot wraith *35% = 2.7

That's where the nerf on Tuesday hurt me the most. Can you guys adjust the settings so that if the 35% increase causes there to be .5 or greater of a shot that it will round up? This way one shot guns still don't get an extra shot but the 2 shotters aren't hurt by it?


Sorry thats a gameplay question and I am not in gameplay

Do you ever shave your cat??

No, it is cold here in the winter and that would insanely cruel. (Yes she is an indoor cat)


what if your cat developed mats?  some cats with particularly oily fur will develop them..... by the time you notice them (since they start low in the hair) they're already thick and everywhere.  i've had to shave or near shave two cats in my lifetime thanks to that (though less of a drawback for the cat in sou calif)

so i'm going to rephrase mybudgee's question
Have you ever shaved your cat (or any of your cats... presumably there are several) for reasons of its own wellbeing? (parasite infestation, hair mats, etc.)


Am I the only one who finds this line of inquiry bizarre?


Nope

Bryan, quite simply, how could a sucker stupid enough to get into History in uni get a job at Bioware?=]


Really you dont need a college education to work as QA it is more about the person and their skill than their education. I mean we have people who have Physics and Fine Arts degrees working here. I explained earlier what I tend to look for, when making the call to hire someone

Also, Bryan: What would happen if 4 Krogan Battlemasters charged into each other at the same time?


The question you need to ask yourself is, what would happen if a possessed abomination was at the centre of it all.

1. What's the cat's name?
2. Why no insane possessed abomination apocalypse waves for Halloween?
3. Which do you prefer, a fist bump or a handshake, and why?

1. Chloe
2. I would say performance would be a question mark, people would complain we just wanted to use their medi-gel
3. Fist bump unless it is meeting someone for the first time/someone way older than me

2. What do you mean by performance? Are you talking about player skill, or some limitation on consoles? Also, some members of the game's fanbase are going to complain about absolutely everything that Bioware does. I think a lot of folks would actually find that one fun.
3. Good to know.


2. Console performance

Hey Bryan,

Why do you guys use palette swaps? (example Shaman and Kroguard; Asari Vanguard and Asari Adept) Is there a particular reason?


Low memory hit I would guess
