Stop whining about delayed balance changes.

Everybody knows they're on Wednesday.

Pretty dangerous attitude treating your fanbase so lightly with shiny new Halo and CoD out, Bioware...

Leaving us hanging four weeks in a row; forget commendation packs, I think some apology packs are in order. Do the smart thing and grease some palms with some URs Bioware.

I'm totally going to use underwhelming weapons in gold and make the other 3 players pull their hair for it because of the higher exp rewards...yup, totally.
Yeah I know people here can top the score with the crappy weapons, but realize please that you are the top 1%.
Thank you.


I'd say they're the top 1 percent OF that 1 percent. I think that is so because my n7 hq says I'm in the top 1 percent of both categories, but that is only true mathematically. I can carry a squad with good weapons/characters but not with FQE with a shuriken like some of our more skilled players around here.

This week's balance changes will be delayed. We will try to get them out tomorrow.

Here is a preview of some of the changes we are looking at:

  • Increasing the XP/Score multipliers for Gold and Platinum difficulties. We are seeing a tendency for players to play at lower difficulties in order to complete challenges, so hopefully this will entice players to keep mastering the higher difficulties.
  • Reducing the shield gate cooldown.

Does this mean we get less shieldgate or does it mean our shieldgate charges up quickers?

Why not just move the Balance Changes to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. This makes how many weeks now that they've been delayed? Four, five?

I honestly thought today was Sunday BioWare, so I'm not at all bothered by this because it's not Tuesday for my brain just yet.

Maybe there's a reason for them not being able to do it every tuesday. Last week was N7 Day, the week before I don't remember and this week was the day after Veterans day. There's a connection! IT's a conspiracy!

I think they are keeping the balance changes on tuesday, but in case you haven't noticed they've been delivering several heavy updates in a row so they just can't catch up for now. You guys on BSN will complain about anything, it's ridiculous.

I think people are misunderstanding the xp/score gain, who cares if you are already lvl 20, if you are playing on gold then ofcourse you are.
The point here is that it means that you will get more points per kill/use for challenges; isn't BSN ****ing and moaning about husk/guardian points? Well this change should make finishing those challenges less of a grind and other challenges can just be completed faster.

I really do not understand the almighty rush for balance changes or a new character for that matter, we have no idea what goes on when they decide to do a balance change, perhaps they play it safe and test as much as possible so that the forum doesn't go wild with this isn't working, Also Sunday was a holiday here in Canada with most offices closed Monday so maybe they were taking advantage of a three day weekend.

I also suspect the staff have a hell of a lot more on their plate then balance changes, we will probably never know and I respect that, I believe they are doing a great job.

For reapers those husks spawn more on lower difficulties as well as guardians for cerberus. So that leaves little incentive to do the challenges on a higher difficulty for the time being. Also I'm also assuming no disciple anything?

takes to long to beat gold/plat increase the money and you'll see more ppl. I can do 10 games of bronze 3x faster than 1 game of gold. Less money yes but less time spent and less head hurting from saying "y u instagrab me or y u no die"

First off, adding the new kit is just as heavy of a process as the balance update, with many of the same functions being carried out when it happens. Therefore, to give you a kit on Tuesday and to add the balance changes on Wednesday means doing a lot of the same things twice. Try doing that in your day-to-day job and see if you don't get criticized for lack of efficiency.

Secondly, it's only a day, people. Chill. ME players are likely not CoD players (though I picked up Black Ops 2, so guess what I'll be doing, but I only got the game 'cuz I have a friend who is getting it).

Thirdly, while I think people on here b1tch WAAAAY too much, BioWare is beginning to look a little silly now. I'm willing to bet Mr. Fagnan has a little heat flush his face every time he has to write about a delay. It's probably uncomfortable for him, too, so chill, people.

I would love to see in increase in damage for the Valiant it really needs improvement. Right now the the best commendation sniper rifle is the Crusader and it is a shotgun. With the improvements in the Viper it has become more useful on lower levels than the Valiant and the Valiant is not powerful enough for most players to use on a higher level. Please try to think like an average player for a change I suspect most players are not super platinum or even gold players so why do all the perks go to them?

They don't, I do believe. I think the game is balanced from silver, actually, which makes sense. Middle of the road, mainstream, and most heavily populated.

People are complaining because they were promised these updates weekly, but have been getting delayed every week. Seems like something normal people complain about. It would be much better if they did the balance updates bi weekly....

Delayed by only one day each time with a proper notice and always for good reasons (N7 day, halloween challenge, november 11th holiday), is this really that big of a deal? Not mentioning that they have no obligation to update the game weekly, just saying...
