A  Q&A thread! Very cool of you, BroJo. Very cool of you indeed. Hopefully it won't go too far off the rails and the newer players, of which there appear to be a lot these days, will get some use out of it.

Personally, I haven't any questions but I do sincerely hope you'll do this again when the next game is officially announced.

I likely wont have the same hand in the next game ;(

I asked him about it a couple of months ago, and he basically said that they weren't able to replicate the issue. Sadly, the message was lost in the transfer to the new forums so I don't remember his exact phrasing.

Did anyone think about how players could potentially exploit certain effects of powers, or was the community too creative? (Cain Mines being spammed, for example)

I do have a couple more, but I'm short on time and don't want to overload you when you get back.

There were some things we thought up and changed it before it was shipped, and others werent. The Turian Female for example was super broken in my opinion before she was nerfed before we released.

Hi Brojo. I think I played a game with you on PC a few days ago. You are BioAdmiral-X right?

 

It was Giant/Cerberus/Silver. I think you outscored the rest of us combined :P

 

IIRC you were an Asari Adept with a Suppressor and you were headshotting like crazy.

 

I know I don't really have a question. I just thought it was cool that you were still playing :P

Yah thats me and thanks for the game :P

Hey Bryan :D

 

1) Why didn't yall rerun the weekend challenges?

2) What "favors" might give someone a leg up getting into DA:I Beta? ;)

3) What  DA:I class/race are you looking forward to playing most?

 

We know your a busy man, so thank you for taking the time to indulge and exasperate our curiosity. :wub:

1) No one to run it

2) Who knows if there is a beta

3) I honestly dont know, it will depend on what the voices are like (if there is different voices, I dont know)

I am rather curious on how the Cerberus faction was designed.

 

Why were the Phantoms designed to have the very high Damage Resistance on-and-off host (luckily it is bugged off-host) which negates the damage of many rapid fire weapons?  When players are equipping the Venom, Acolyte, and other staggering weapons to just deal with Phantoms it tells me that are a bit overpowered.

 

I find the Cerberus faction to be the unbalanced faction in this game. Besides turrets, the Phantoms are the only enemies that are a threat to me. I wish the other Cerebrus minions were more than just meatshields for the Phantoms.

Have to probably ask Brenon

How many of the devs actually have a maxed manifest. I'd imagine you could count it on 1 hand.

1 we had a fundraiser for charity and one of the prizes was a maxed manifest, 0 "legitimately" (I am the closest by a good amount)

I think this might have been addressed earlier in the thread, but would it at all be possible to get some stats like the ones presented by Eric about a year ago?

Was addressed already, basically unless a producer asks for them they are likely not happening

One of my favorite things about this game has been the way the community banded together for a long time throughout the first year+ of the game.  From the stat/mechanics finders to the gameplay guides to the welcoming groups, I feel that BSN was a great place for new players to learn the ropes and experienced players to become even better.  

 

I am curious to get some feedback from a dev to see what you all felt were some of the high points within the community of players that love your game so much.

I am going to be selfish on this one. My highest point was the apology thread I got where people said nice things about me.

 

The other is those that would send me PMs reporting exploits instead of posting them for everyone to see, I imagine that kind of a connection that I made probably helped me professionally.

Why do all of the barrel mods look so terrible? :(

 

Especially the Assault Rifle ones. I mean rank V EB on ARs are basically an M-16 handguard with the front sightpost reversed.

 

Seems very bland for Mass Effect, the art direction in the ME universe is fantastic otherwise. One of the all time bests in Sci-Fi regardless of medium in my opinion. :)

Lol asking me about art is like asking a car salesmen about a space shuttle. I could try and fumble my way through an answer but in the end there is no way you are buying what I am selling.

So .... IF we would know the name of what we call "ME4" here ... how much would tell us the name about setting, timeframe and story of the game?

0

Totally self-serving question, but... Any chance of getting some attention on the Stuck Challenges? There's a few legit ones in that thread since the last fix wave.

Thanks for all your hard work.

PM me

also any chance of getting an update of that me3mp infographic?

 

do you have one of those fancy n7 leather jackets?

 

will you ever stream me3 again? 

 

on a scale of 1 to 10 how bored/drunk were you when you made this thread? :) (regardless of the answer, we're always excited to hear from you around these parts)

Answered already

 

No I found the sizes listed too small for me

 

I could, but I dont see myself as an interesting streamer

 

2 I realized I kind of disappeared for a while and found myself with some time

He's a question you might actually be able to answer. There was a clear movement to prevent players from primarily staying in one position (presumably a result of FBWGG) around the retaliation DLC. Was there ever a meeting where someone was just like, "I hate camping. Let's get rid of it" and then everyone started silently nodding their heads with crossed arms?

I believe it was more, I want to actually play a random gold match I am getting tired of playing FBWGG, can we please do something about this.

With the success of the MP part of ME3, are you looking to repeat the same for the next ME title?  And if you could devulge us, what are some of the lessons learned from this ME3MP that you plan on implementing for the next installment?

I dont know anything and if I did I couldnt say

 

I think he means what were the Combat barks the Dragoon was going to use before their audio broke?

Oh I am uncertain

 

Is there any possibility probability that community feedback from ME3MP is being/has been taken into consideration for the next iteration of ME MP, assuming there is one? I know that's ambiguous and NDA and no specifics and legal and all. But just in general terms, since ME3MP was a first go for BioWare, do you get a sense there have been some "lessons learned" in terms of what didn't work and is that likely to impact decisions made for the next go 'round?

I would say that if there is another MP that there would definitely be feedback taken into account. If you dont learn from your mistakes in this industry it will cost you.

Hmm. It doesn't really sound like that at all. 

 

I never said it did, I just can tell you even with my resources I am as stumped as you all are

 

I don't have any questions at the moment. I would just like to say thank you, and the rest of the ME3 team, for creating the best video game experience I've ever had. Looking forward to what you guys do next.

Thank you

 

Barring yourself, who is the sassiest mcsassy pants who has ever sassed someone that needed to be sassed?

Oh Allan you are the sass master

Ah I see. I love using the Typhoon wherever I get the chance, and Phantoms drive me crazy when I am hosting using this gun. They are a pain to kill sometimes. :angry:

 

I know that Guardians did receive a minor buff at one point, but I feel that are not a threat to players as AP ammo and mods destroy them. It is literally like shooting fish in a barrel. I felt like they have no practical purpose within the faction in MP.

 

In a hypothetical scenario when the BW team could haven given the Guardian a major buff, such as removing his shield, making him duel wield Talons, a movement speed increase, and dodging/combat rolls, would you agree to such major buffs? Or I am just nuts?

We wanted to increase his speed, but we couldnt

How do you like the new forums?

Do you miss the dark theme like the rest of us? :D

How come the ban waves stopped?

How much did MP's longevity surpise the teams?

Thanks for posting and playing. Dropped into a game with you last month. Good luck with DA:I, I'm in line for the preorder.

I think there is a lot that has improved

 

I do

 

There was no longer anyone to do it, Ernest's contract ended

 

It didnt me

 

Cool good to hear :) thanks a lot

Is BW going to structure ME4's MP around the ME3's existing layout?Or are they going a different route given the current feedback?

 

Edit: My ? was answered earlier.

I do request that the next time you want to run some Golds,send me a FR B)

I am always pushing the 100 friend cap unfortunately

Maybe this is too personal, but can you tell us what Nathan Plewes is currently doing? I felt terrible when his contract wasn't renewed and he and his wife just had a new baby. I hope they are doing well.

 

On a lighter note, which silver challenge did you find the most annoying to complete so far? N7? 200 waves challenges? Raptor 20K points, etc.

I believe he is working for a company in the oil fields. He wasnt contract he was a full time position, he was just simply let go for other reasons.

 

I cant remember what I considered annoying, I think the challenges where I have to play volus (not a huge fan)
