So the delays happen about 30% of the time since the game has been out right? Might as well just release all those already-made characters.

I see the logic behind giing out more exp, but you'll just motivate bad players to go on difficulties far beyond their abilities.
But faster shield gates sounds great

Dont say that. we won't get it till Thursday.


I have a better idea.  Get your act together and get the changes out on time.

Or at least give us a reason why you have to delay them each week

surprised.

ranking up faster in gold and possibly never going down.  sweet


That's funny, I was getting tired of grinding out challenges in silver and promoting and promoting, playing gold only for a litte, and then grinding out stuff again after the promoting. Being tired of that, I was going to get all my guys to 20 and then just play gold and save N7 for last. Looks like that was a good call.


And yes, I'm not nearly good enough to take level 1's to gold.

Just saying.. if you want to see people trying to do achievements on higher difficulty you should probably buff like 2/3 of the weapons (gold) and 4/5 of them (for platinium).

I must admit, before getting all the achievements, i gave up trying to handle pugs on gold games, some people where already bad at the game, but then you add them using weapons as the avenger instead of the harrier and you have a nightmare. Hence why i finished my last 200 waves as X character in lower difficulties.

I dont think getting more experience will help to this, the higher score surely will, but the point remains to be how ineffective some weapons are in a common or average player, some weapons simple are too hard to be used in inexperienced players at gold level, if the damage is too low then you require constant headshots and overall skills to have a fighting chance at gold and above, turian soldier, n7 destroyer and infiltrators can help the average joe just to a degree you know...

Except as people have noted that would make them actually happen on Thursday, Murphy's Law and all that.

Yeah, I mean it's not like releasing new content on a videogame every week is hard. *sarcasm*

Nice changes! But I have a serious question: would it be simpler to just permanently move balance changes to Wednesdays, rather than keep delaying them?

You are raising the XP of Gold and Platinum to keep players from grinding out the challenges on Bronze and Silver.

Here is the problem with that logic. People are grinding out in Bronze and Silver to Solo so they can farm the husk points. I highly doubt you are going to make Gold and Platinum easier to solo, nor are you going to raise the husk points to benefit not going down to Bronze and Silver to Solo. So this will be all for naught.

So how about fixing the hurricane + devestator mode bug fix, disciple and scimitar buff?
Krogan soldier and sentinel health increased to vangaurd/adept levels.

The Rememberance Day statutory holiday was yesterday, and they lost a day of testing/development or whatnot.

/shrugs.  At a guess anyhoo.

Because if they do that, the changes will be delayed to Thursdays.

"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."

Good idea. With some of the more terrible weapons, I feel like I should just play bronze. Nice incentive.

This won't help with the worst offender of obnoxious challenges though: "Do X waves." It's so tedious that I don't even want to try the challenges and should be cut from 200 to 100.

Maybe you guys should try it the other way round. Make monday your usual day for changes. When you delay them for one day then, it will feel like nothing changed.

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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This seems to be a running theme with the delays. Why don't you just stop trying for Tuesday and just go with Wednesdays?
