But...this is the prediscussion discussion about discussing the plan to set up a preduscussion to discuss the actual discussion about the possible future discussion concerning what may or may not be some way related to balancing. Except marketing has approved none of this shit so any fact you THINK you heard, yeah well you can forget you heard them.

It's a setup. They want you to think it is Friday so you won't ask questions on Thursday.

there won't be no discussion discussion about balance changes, they will discuss about the new exploits and begging people not to do them. at some point they realise their stream's time is up, so discussion discussion discussion about balance changes may have to be put on hold till next week.

I remember Bioware saying something about putting it into one of the patches; though I don't know if it's in this one. I also hope - but not holding my breath - that they'll allow us to at least purchase character cards from the store. I'm down to UR characters at this point, and nobody wants to play with a half-assed build.

Oh yeah, this thread reminded me that I was going to watch last week's stream to see them playing with the Mattock in all its buffed glory. Edit - Oh, very good, the stream starts with 10 minutes of a Starting Soon holding screen. Quality editing, good archive. Goto 39:10 on that stream to watch Billy kill things with +20 shots with a Mattock, on silver. The stream wasn't as bad as I had expected, but still pretty cringe worthy. Billy did start flexing his hand about half way through the match. Which, okay, sure he didn't have his custom controller, but that's exactly what running something like the Mattock does to me to.

I'm sorry but this is just complete fuckin horeseshit. "Discuss," WTF is there to discuss? Fix the fuckin issues. This game has a chance to be pretty damn good, if they would do something about it. There's some cool shit in the MP, but too much bullshit. Almost 6 weeks, and I have gotten to were I have little motivation to play. I want to, but end up playing remastered Bioshock instead most of the time.

I'd say it's fair to assume they will let us know when the balance patch is coming and be "discussing" it's content. If I had to guess I'd say we're less then a week away. They know better, by now, then to dick us around on this. This is good news.

I mean, it's news. At this point unless the patch literally makes my PC give me handjobs it'll pretty much be too little too late. There's so many player-hostile mechanics in place that are fundamental to their design, and they'll never change. Ok, wow, ARs do damage now. Still a shitty grind with too many UR cards to unlock XP curves that are ridiculous and too many skill points locked behind cards and and and and

It looks like the twitch stream is going to be on Friday instead of Thursday and they'll be discussing balance changes. Anyway. Personally I expect more nerf than buff. Everyone is using Vanguard. Charge cool down is increased by 5 seconds. Everyone is using Vanquisher. Vanquisher damage is now 20% down and reload speed is 20% up. Everyone is spamming grenade. All grenade damage -20%. and now you get only 2 grenades from a crate. Everyone is fighting Outlaws All Outlaw units are now has 25% more health and armored units are never staggered. Everyone is using Asari Adept Annihilation power penalty increased by 15% etc etc This is actually in line with what I'm expecting after their miraculous 1.05 patch.

Unlike most in this thread I think there is a lot of information they need to convey about their intentions for the game. I don't think a stream is the best form of media for it, it should be a blog/in written form but it is better than nothing. I want to know what direction they are taking, just how extensive it will be, and when we can reasonably expect it. I also want to know what parts of it they are actually happy with, whether things like how long it takes to level up a character or collect all the UR character cards.

I don't think they even know where to begin if the jetpack fiasco is anything to go by.

I'm apathetic at this point. Subpar gameplay on bronze, dodging questions, talking but not saying anything of worth, the usual shebang. Now it's been pushed to Friday. They must dread doing these streams so much they pushed it as far as they can get away with.

At least, we would get some confirmation faster.
