Alright, this has been biting me all night.

 

The three-shot Javelin you mentioned; how did having those extra shots impact the way it is played? Was there any drawbacks in it's original form, such as a significant delay in firing time, such that it would have been slower than reload-cancelling? Or was it simply the unscrupulously over powered AA cannon from the get-go?

If I remember correctly it was slightly less damage, the thing was broken ill admit. We had a day where the dev team played MP and I was told I ruined peoples experience by using it and murdering everything.

Why can't Geth Prime shots be side stepped like Ravager/Scion shots can?

Because they were programmed that way, I suppose

Hello Brojo, thanks for the post!  I'd be curious to know (if you do) the numbers of active players, per: platform -- now, at the heyday of play, etc.  Not asking for specific stats (since that would involve looking up stuff).  But more generally (example, 100's of thousands on Xbox at one point, etc.)

 

My take on the voice at 45 seconds to extraction -- certainly not the script you uncovered, more an accidental capture of some tired technician in the room during recording: "... this is boring ... "

Not really something I can discuss in terms of the actual numbers. I can say that Xbox was the most popular in terms of MP for most of the time, but over the last year PC is the new champion of that stat

Why do some Banshees teleport through walls? Is it the berserk mechanic screwing up?

You can teleport through walls, so why shouldnt they?

The ME wiki says: "Snap Freeze's Tech Combo, Electric Slash's Detonate, and Electrical Hammer's Radius & Combo evolutions are bugged and do not actually affect combo damage.". Is it still the case?

Likely

[Bryan Johnson]

Bryan, do you play ME3 on the PS3 anymore?

tbh not really, because of PS+ when I boot my system I have a bunch of other games I want to play

Does the nemesis actually say anything or does she just blurt out jibberish? Sometimes it sounds like she's saying "power failure", "sentients", and even "biscuits" (I'm serious about that last one) 

I know I've heard them say "Combat['s/is] dangerous" a few times.

I do not have the access to telemetry to look up how much you have spent.

 

I have spent about 30-40 dollars most of that was when we were rotating the new packs in, and it was easier to use my money than try and get access to a corporate card

I like the idea of using a corporate card instead of just using debug hooks for testing, I'm going to push for this idea in the future if relevant.
I think I've spent ~$150 on packs between 360 and PC, I'd be curious what the telemetry claims. And I still don't have Geth Juggernaut...

Gr8 thread Brojo!

Was MP a financial success?
What appearance do you use on Fury?

 

[Barrett Rodych]

It was a thing, you can ask Barrett to confirm (he worked on MP during development)

Did we launch with a 3-shot Javelin? Been so long I honestly can't remember. I was only on post-release support for like a week or two, then was on Omega, then the next Mass Effect since then. I do recall it though. Either way I suspect it was reduced so as not to share too much design space with the Black Widow, but I'm speculating.

3-shot Javelin?

I'm throwing money at my screen and nothing is happening

I don't know, I could look it up but likely ill completely forget by monday

 

What were some of the kits that didn't make the cut for DLC?

I am not aware of any

No we didn't that got nixed during development, it was only like that for a week or 2.

Who is the most skilled player (and on which platform) you have come across in ME3MP?

[coelacyanth]

Thanks for answering Bryan ... One last question that I always wondered about.. Have you ever kicked anyone in the lobby or have anyone kicked/put a kick vote on you??

Can I count on you to push my agenda for melee weapons in the next ME?!

 

Krogan demands this indeed!

[Shampoohorn]

Thanks for answering my earlier questions.

Do you like the new frostbite engine better than unreal? From an overall and QA perspective.

Is there ever a reason to bring in an all-star gamer to stress the tactical aspects of the game. I'm just thinking about how surprised the devs were at how fast 'we' all beat platinum.

Y no Strength Enhancer IV?

[Kinom001]

That's...actually kinda sad. I almost feel bad for killing them now especially since they run away too.

 

I might feel bad for them...but then they shoot me with that stupidly powerful Raptor of theirs and any pity I harbor goes "pfft".

[Shampoohorn]

Mrawrrw. And melee damage unlinked from fitness. E.g. Gun or strength choice; health or power choice.

And melee mods that detonate combos.

[Argent Xero]

You can teleport through walls, so why shouldnt they?

I can?

*runs into wall*

lies!

Some do and some don't. The ones that do usually get themselves killed by teleporting where they shouldn't. I thought it was part of their berserk mode and it was just broken for them.

You said you weren't put on Mass Effect: NDA, so you may not know, but was the change to the frostbite engine something you guys asked for, or did someone from EA just show up saying, "We're tired of paying Epic. Here, use this instead."
