Oooh, a wild BroJo appeared. Now, where did I put my master ball?

 

My question: when the Collector faction (a-bombs in particular) and the hazard maps (FB Trollbutton in particular) were designed, were the devs fully aware of the trolling potential and that many players would amuse themselves at the expense of their teammates by liberally abusing them? I find that frying my entire team in the reactor hack circle multiple times during the same hack was some of the most fun I had in this game. Do you believe it's likely that similar mechanics will be implemented in future multiplayers?

Yes I fully expected someone to get very good at using lash. I personally had some concerns. I am not sure

Thanks for the response, BroJo.

What do you think was the most surprising thing that the community did? Apart from relentlessly demanding MOAR, of course.

I PMd you a couple days ago about my stuck challenge. I'm currently on the road and can't get N7HQ to load, so did you get a chance to look at it?

Became a place I look forward to coming to

 

Alright I was really busy last week (~12 hour days) ill try and get to it on monday

Was the "Power Cell" objective a rejected idea for reckoning, sort of like how there are a few unfinished maps?

I do not recall that particular mode

BRYAN. BRYAN. QUESTION. BRYAN. I HAVE A QUESTION.

 

Who's spent more money on ME3MP packs, you or me?

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

AD 2.

 

Well at some points you right, but the question is. Why then this characters are not considered in Reckoning afterall?

 

AD 5.

 

So is possible, we can except in future some updates for ME3 MP, when will be free time? Or no hopes for that?

 

About Omega maps. If i good remember, someone from BW dev team mentioned that maps from Omega was considered, but not appear. I not sure, who told that.

AD 2: I wasnt privy to the discussion for that so cant say

 

AD 5: I am saying if a higher up decides it there may be a team to work on it again

Hi Bryan,I haven,t been able to post on the regular Forum,(do not meet requirements) N7 Bugeyed alien x,I actually play on xbox though listed as on PC.

But is there any chance you can fix my Geth challenge ,17 of 18 completed which is stuck ,as I Finished every single Geth weapon and whatnot  in June last year......

I notice that there is some opposition to MP for the DAi and  I realise you are not at liberty to confirm or deny a MP DAI game ,are you on the Pro,s side ?.

Thanks go to the regular posters on the main forum for all the vids and tips over the year and thanks to all the devs for a great game.

PM me about the stuck challenges.

 

As for DA:I personally they are not the type of game I typically play so it makes me pretty neutral.

So Bryan..

 

Collectors or Geth? 

 

London or Condor?

Geth and London (I like facing both of these since as I mentioned I like the MQI)

How often do you play these days and do you think you'll be able to max your manifest by the time the serverers go down?

For you, what's the best and worst that happened to the game?

I dropped it for a while, but I think last week I probably put in another 10-15 hours, I probably can

 

The best: The success of it

The worst: Having to ban people for cheating/dealing with leaks

Polonium rounds. What was the eventual deciding factor in their exclusion from Retaliation? (if you know or can share)

 

 

 

Will you /have you been playing Titanfall? Do you think that a Titanfall-esque PvP system (mixture of PvE and PvP) could work in the context of the mass effect universe?

 

 

 

Good to see you're still around Brojo, and even though I'm not a DA player, best of luck with the project.

iirc they were bugged such that they stacked ontop of each other, so something like the reegar would be even more broken than when you use incind

 

I am not playing Titanfall, it doesnt interest me, I mean anything can work :P

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, 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

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...

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.

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)  :lol:

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?

There is a few, and I am horrible with names
