Also, before I forget.

This thread asks what the shuttle pilot says during extraction. I just need confirmation that he's saying "Nav Buoy".

Ill try and find out

[Bryan Johnson]

ok, 1 more.

Why weren't Cain Mines balanced?

I would say likely end of cycle if time went on, we probably would have adjusted them but basically we said once the last map pack came out we only had a few more balance changes we were doing.

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?

[Bryan Johnson]

Why did you guys only change the damage of guns in balance changes? A lot of guns didn't need a damage buff they needed a recoil or accuracy buff.

 

For example the revenant has pretty decent damage but has an average ROF, terrible accuracy, terrible recoil and slows down the user when it's fired. Buffing the damage did basically nothing for that weapon.

I am not really sure, I am guessing in the case of something like the revenant it was meant as take cover and use it

[Bryan Johnson]

Did explosive ammo ever cross the team doing the balance changes, if so, how were they approaching it ?

Also any snippets on the dragoons supposed monologues .

I had brought up explosive ammo a few times, and they just never were agreed on.

 

As for the dragoon I dont know what you mean

[Bryan Johnson]

Brojo comes from heaven and appear! He lives! He exist more than Jesus!

 

Ok but seriously...

 

Few questions.

 

1: If i good remember, before Omega release was a plans, to add Omega maps to ME3 MP. Why they don't added?

 

2: Well if you guys heard about that people wanted moar Salarians, Female Quarians etc. Why you don't change release date of Retaliation DLC?

 

3: We still beat dead horse? Or dead horse is ressurected by Bioware?

 

4: Why Reckoning looks very smillar to Resurgence DLC? I throught that last DLC for MP, could add a lot of good things for the end. We got only new two gear items, again six characters and six weapons. Why you don't guys add one more mission in waves 3, 6 and 10 or some maps?

 

5: Seriously... We can except some ME3 MP upgrades, or this is real dead horse now?

1. Kind of the first I am hearing about it, but as said I wasnt on DLC

2. Because that would have pushed it out a lot, even the "free" characters that came with Retaliation weren't exactly free in terms of work as others imagined. Plus it was coming out with a patch, and we weren't going to push back the patch just for more characters we saw the challenge system and other new features are more important.

3. ???

4. Because we wanted it out fairly quickly (in comparison) and new mods equal big performance questions, and we were already looking tight on memory, plus the team was already starting to move off to other projects.

5. The team that you saw for stuff in ME3MP is scattered across multiple projects, so I would say things are unlikely to change but then again things do happen.

[A]ny snippets on the dragoons supposed monologues .

I dont know what you mean

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

[Bryan Johnson]

as you said you worked on patching and fixes,

 

Why were so many powers/ evolutions left completely and utterly broken without so much as blacking them out so they wouldn't be picked for nothing?

The only powers I feel could have been ok to leave broken (never really ok, but less unimpressed with) were the ones in the last dlc(looking at dark sphere 5b), most of the others were discovered tested and confirmed by the community, and nothing was done. Why?

 

Otherwise, I think the whole team did a great job, and am looking forward to the next game

To be honest, I am not really sure we filed the issues they just werent considered high enough priority

[Teh_Ocelot]

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?

[Bryan Johnson]

Hello Brojo!!

 

I would like to know why you (awesome) guys and gals decided to end support for ME3MP so soon. This game still has a lot of life left in it and new people are always jumping in even now into MP. And a lot of things needed some balance brought into them, but i guess that's just my opinion.

 

Also the new maps looked very interesting, a shame we couldnt see it realised with textures. Would have breathed new life into MP too.

 

Also if you had the chance to continue support for some more time, would have you done so?

 

Anyway ME3MP was an awesome experience! Hoping for the same in the Next ME too! And all the best for DA:I!

Thank you for the praises

 

The "new maps" were some of the oldest maps, ie prototypes from way early on in either a DLC or the game itself.

 

Personally no, I wouldnt, now before you grab your pitch forks and riot against me. Me personally I was ready for a new challenge, when you are in a post ship product there is only so much you could do. And I am a technical based tester so there wasnt new in the way of systems plus all my colleagues had moved onto frostbite so I felt like I was being left behind and becoming a relic.

[Bryan Johnson]

(I assume Bryan will revisit this thread)

 

Hi BroJo!

 

Can you confirm or deny the existance of multiplayer modes in upcoming BioWare projects?

 

Also, post Chloe.

No I cant post any of that nature, dont have a recent photo on me atm

[Bryan Johnson]

I realize I could probably ask DR this , but that would be stalking.

 

What is your favorite Kit/Map/Enemy combination for MP?

Male Quarian Infiltrator, Rio, Reapers

[Bryan Johnson]

I might stop playing if we get the answer to this...

Well now I have the answer, and guess what it doesnt make you any closer to the answer.

 

The text that is associated with it is supposed to be "Almost there. Get to the LZ!"

[Bryan Johnson]

Coelacyanth from "The Daily Collector". An important question that people deserve to know is "Why do seeker swarms climb ladder"??

You as the player have been indoctrinated to see it that way

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, we can ask anything? We can really ask anything? Then.....WHAT DOES THE PILOT SAY???? please!!!

 

Also, sneaky question: Will there be MP in DAI?

 

 

Bonus question: Do you consider turquoise blue or green?

See 2 posts up

NDA

Blue

[Bryan Johnson]

Why am I not wearing underwear when I play this game? This is the question I desperately need an answer.

Well is it only when you play this game or generally when you play games? Because if it is the latter then I cant answer. If it is the former than I unno you are sweating with excitement maybe or mass effect fields took them.

[BurningLiquor]

Well now I have the answer, and guess what it doesnt make you any closer to the answer.

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

[Bryan Johnson]

Welcome back Brojo!

If sync kills exist in the next game, do you think certain species should have an "extra life" mechanic for specific syncs?
- krogan via organ redundancy
- vorcha through regenerative capabilities
- geth because machines...

Of course, other things would need to be completely changed to balance, but I wonder if this could be an interesting feature that works?

I think for the sake of balance they kind of needed to be the way they were.

 

It could be but you balance it in other ways (ie like we did with the Prime)

[Bryan Johnson]

Will Poutine ever be available in Germany?

 

And will the headbutt melee make an appearance in the next game, too?

You should start up a shop that serves it, so it is in your hand

 

No Idea

[Bryan Johnson]

Bryan do you know the timeline setting of the new ME? Will it be set before Shepard time or after the Reaper war?

Even if I did, I am far too low on the totem pole to release that info

[Bryan Johnson]

Is the Mass Effect movie still in the works?

You likely know more than me, I generally end up googling when I want to know info about the movie

[Bryan Johnson]

A few stupid questions:

What's your favorite kit?

Favorite power?

Anything that got left on the cutting room floor that you thought would've been cool to add?

Who's arm do I need to twist to get access to the beta of the next game?

MQI

Submission Net (Its my favorite, I didnt say its the best)

At one point we had it so supplies would get dropped and you would run and pick them up (ie like bonus rockets, or minor bits of cash)

Well that depends on if a beta exists

[Bryan Johnson]

Hello Bryan 

 

1- Will we get the chance to see Mass Effect trilogy (previous titles) on next gen?. I know it's not a Dragon Age question but.....

 

2- Will the Xbox one's version of Dragon Age Inquisition be less than 1080?

 

3- Do you still play ME3 MP? (I won't quit until servers are down lol)

 

thanks 

1. Thats a decision for the much higher ups
2. We are a long way out to say

3. social.bioware.com/n7hq/home/?name=BIO-AdmiralX&platform=pc

[Bryan Johnson]

Brojo!  Its very good to see you again.  I has a few questions:

 

1 - cake or pie?

2 - will they ever update the page where we see how many consumables, missiles, operations, etc. have been completed?

3 - Did you ever think that the ME3 MP would be this popular and this much of a hit - or have this much staying power?

 

4.  A personal thank you to you and the team for ME3 MP.  There are still a lot of us playing the game, enjoying the worlds that you all made - and we are fighting the good fight.  You all made it possible, and its still a blast to play.

1) Its pi day and I am happy

2) I would likely guess not, it would be something that a producer would need to request

3) It has had me, and I normally dont have an attention span

4) Thank you

[Bryan Johnson]

To what extent did the voice recording budget impact what characters could be added to MP? I noticed after the first couple of DLCs that the character voices were the same as the vanilla release. Where there any kits that reached the planning stage that were affected by a lack of voice files?

 

It's the only question I could think of... 

The extent I knew about the budget:
I got a paycheck thats it
