Finally, a Disciple buff. Such a brilliant sound and look now with power to match. Liking the Volus Sentinel too!

If it's not another biotic god then I don't see the point of the volus.

Drell Infiltrator next week. Then the Volus Vanguard, Batarian Adept, Quarian Marksman, Turian Saboteur and Asari Huntress last in line. There.


I recognize the first and last character classes, but are the other ones real, or just a wish list?


They're the real deal. Search for Cyonan's datamine threads on Retaliation.


Sorry to have to ask, but would you or anyone else happen to have a link to Cyonan's thread?  I can't find it anywhere; in fact, I can't even find Cyonan in searches!  Even if the thread got shut down, it should still be in there, at least!

I see a trend. Sniper rifles were buffed immediatelly AFTER I did the sniper challenge. Now the Deciple was buffed a weak after I did that callenge. Bioware is trolling me!

Glad to see you dropped the whole "UR" thing with the Volus.
Nice set of balance changes too. Good to see the trusty Disciple get some lovin'.
As for the character...I have my Geth Trooper. It's all I really was looking forward to in this DLC. I don't mind about releases now. It'll be fun trying to set a build up, though.

Have you got/tried him yet?

He's actually pretty good. I thought he'd be useless with pretty standard powers but with combat drone debuffing and shield boost when needed he works well alone or as support in a team.

Edit: Stupid Windows phone auto spell correction correction.

Just played a match that had two Volus Sentinels in it. One was already all patterned up, too. Thanks to their decoys at times there were 4 Volus on the field, it was great. :) Plus their shield boosts were very welcome on the hacking waves.

The Disciple buff is pretty good.  A Disciple X may now be usable over a low level Talon.  Comparable stopping power and less weight, but also less accuracy and not as good against armor, shields, and barriers as the Talon.

I predicted the Volus coming out this week! YAY! I can predict the future.

I don't know about you guys, but the Disciple was always pretty damn cool. Put it on a character that lifts the bad guys somehow (pull, rank six shockwave, barrier, etc), get underneath bad guy, shoot bad guy, comically send him spiraling into the stratosphere, then just forget about him. If the shotgun didn't kill him, falling to the ground will.

As much as I like the buff to the Disciple, I can't help but feel happy that I have the Badass Crator of Badassitude to keep me tied over.....

I mean seriously - who ACTUALLY wanted a Volus that wasn't the cannonball of doom?!?


....I want my Huntress....

First, thanks for the Disciple buff. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, so don't know if it's sufficient. Now that we're buffing bad rare weapons, maybe the GPSMG will get buffed soon?

Second. Good job distracting everyone from the awful class released last week by releasing an even worse class. Please stop with the Volus already. Like... don't even release the Volus Vanguard. Because I already have it. It's called the Volus Adept.

Third, are there any plans to bring the Collectors into line with the other factions in terms of difficulty? Or any progress on making the Geth more fun to play against?

Meaty buffs, and out on time. Good job, BioWare. Don't worry about what the BSN says in regard to which characters get released when. They love to b***h entirely too much to appreciate anything.

That said, I think the new volus is going to suck hard, but I think all the volus kits suck. Yet, I'm not angry about it at all. Still looking forward to the Turian Saboteur. That's gonna rock.

Dammit! Now the class releases are lopsided!
And the only way to inflict any damage is by using weapons because Combat Drone won't do much to enemies and Decoy CERTAINLY won't do jack to enemies! What a wonderful weight capacity the Volus have, as well!

Infiltrator better be next. I don't care which one at this point.

These two comments are diametrically opposed.  You can't sit on a high-horse and call us all a bunch of brats for not wanting the character shoved down our throats; only to then turn around and say that the character we are displeased with in the first place sucks.

Diametrically opposed?  Not really.   You can dislike the Volus and never play them, but not whine about their release.  The two are not mutually exclusive.   Which is what I think what you really meant.  'Diametrically opposed?'  Someone's been playing too much Dungeons and Dragons!  :P

Like this:  I don't care for the Volus and never play them.  And I feel they are weak kits overall.  But hey kudos Bioware for releasing new classes.

Pretty easy.  See, you can really dislike something, but not throw a bratantrum over it.   :police:

Tuesday update? The Wii U launch didn't halt productivity in its tracks? ;)

As for the changes

I like the new N7 Day banner Title change
I like the Disciple buff (I already have the shotgun banner)
The Arc Pistol looks more attartive
No opinion on the CSMG, since I haven't unlocked it
And I like that the Volus Sentinel is rare card

After some testing here's what I have to say:

1) The Disciple is quite nice now. Needs another round in the magazine though to differentiate it from the clearly superior Talon.

2) The Arc Pistol seemed unchanged to me, but that might be because I never use the charge shot so I have nothing to really compare it to in my mind.

3) The Volus Sentinel is bad. Very, very, very bad. And spare me the "support character" crap.

I don't even have the motivation to get this little round **** out of my Rare slots before next week's character, which I guess is going to be an Asari Huntress or Drell Assassin...

Volus sentinel is a pleasant surprise. He offers a diverse gameplay, misdirection and deception, from other more straightforward kits. Probably my favorite volus so far, Good job BW.

I like the Disciple buff, it will be good to see that gun in action more.

The Submission Net fix is good but I still don't think the Vorcha Engineer will be worth playing.

The change to the N7 title is appropriate.

However, it's crazy that there are more options to play as a Volus than as a Salarian. Come on.

A meeger 10% or so damage, not nearly enough to even matter.

I'm more interested Volus vanguard than Volus sentinel... considering he actually has offensive power that can be used instantly, 2 ways to recharge barrier/shield, and ability to prime and debuff enemies... just make sure he also has weapon synergy in his biotic charge and he could be a dangerous guy... another glass cannon, I guess.
