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?

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

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.

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)

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.

Have to probably ask Brenon

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?

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

Not really a question, but it really is nice that you've come back to do this again.  Thanks again for sticking around with us for all this time.

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.

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

 

Ah. That'd be a shame, really. I haven't ever seen a gaming community "adopt" someone like this community did you or an employee be as accessible as you have for us.

 

Let's hope the higher-up's realize your value to this multiplayer community.

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?

I need to know if the Power Amplifier mods work on all grenades, or just some.

 

Has been tested, works on all grenades (like PA or Mental Focuser)

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.

The solution to that was supposed to be the redesign of the map. It did not elude me that the two new units added were coverbusters, and the collectors as a whole busted cover better than the reapers. Glacier also got a redesign, with the broom closet being blocked off by boxes of discarded Christmas decorations and the ammo box at the bottom of the map being moved away from the counter. It disappoints me that they choose to try to remove "camping" from the game just because FBWGG but the fear into them.
No doubt that FBWGG was a problem, having the statistics really enforces how bad it was, but crusade that was the response to it seemed like overkill.

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.

PM me

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?

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

Power Cell? Only removed objective I know of is the Prothean Artifacts, which was intended to ship with the game (but was later split into Devices and Pizza?)

Yea that, pick up power cells then deliver it to a point on the map to gather energy. 4 in total.
