Of course, sorry. Melee-focused, built around shotguns and pistols, point-blank powers, or both. Feel free to rephrase- the intent of my question is to call into focus the fact that melee gameplay feels unrewarding, even if it's technically effective by-the-numbers, because of a combination of factors: the great deal of fire it exposes you to(particularly jarring for having to sacrifice durability for melee damage or vice versa), the extreme mobility of some enemy types(observers, obviously, but raiders, assemblers, and sharpshooters all kite to an aggravating degree with no loss in speed or accuracy), the sync-kill threat of other enemy types, and the seemingly-counterintuitive stagger weights evident in any fistfight. EDIT: Also, looking at the list up top- I was actually talking about player races in the design philosophy question, although I'm sure they'll be eager to answer the one about enemy factions As always, kudos for your skill at diplomatic phrasing. How's this: "Do you feel that the ‘scrapper’ playstyle (melee-focused, point-blank, with shotgun and/or pistol) gives the right reward for its inherent risk and frustration? To clarify: A ‘scarpper’ is exposed to a lot of fire from extremely accurate enemies and can be easily staggered out of melee, which was chosen instead of durability." And this which I will ask prior to the enemy factions question: "Which of the Player Character races do you feel fulfills your vision the best? Which needs the most work?" Love it. Render and export; don't change a thing!

Man I've got so many questions this really needs to be an interview. I will ask Fernando if he would consider that.

"Why were both a male and female class for every human class put in exactly the same? Wouldn't it have offered more variety with slight adaptations such as other passives?"
Damn esjaydoubleyous.

Also updating the OP again with my current list.

If neither of us has got a reply on Twitter about the scrambled skill trees for a lot of people, might be worth following up on that. I still hadn't got a reply as of a bit ago.

I've a simple question.
Do they ever toss around the idea of having a double XP or credits event every now and again?
It'd make players happy, especially ones that can't play as often as they like.

On Twitch now, waiting. They are hosting some streamer who is way worse than people I regularly play with on XB1. We should all become professional Twitch streamers for that sweet Twitch money amirite?

"We're 2 manning silver, this is going to go very poorly." WITH A VANGUARD. Oh, I was wrong, it's the Asari Sentinel. Still. "I'll probably add a scope to this Thokin, need the accuracy on it." I'm just going to keep making fun of this guy.

1:11jrandall0308 : @bioware Can we expect hotfixes to new bugs caused by the 1.06 patch or will we need to wait more weeks / months for the next big patch? 1:12 Broadcaster Turbo BioWare : JRandall0308 As soon as we can fix things, we will. I can't go into more specifics at this time.

On Twitch now, waiting. They are hosting some streamer who is way worse than people I regularly play with on XB1. We should all become professional Twitch streamers for that sweet Twitch money amirite? Dude has a whopping 64 followers so I hope he hasn't quit his day job though. Probably a friend of some dev's. I'd like to know how much Sirian for example makes off Twitch. As for questions, most any I can think of would probably be answered with "spoilers ". You'd think that's the fucking point, I don't tune in to watch them play the weekly bronze Apex mission, that's for sure. Maybe ask if they have considered revamping how/when consumables and boosters are used up, considering that crashing, disconnecting or being kicked results in both lost consumables and no rewards, regardless of match progress. A change in this regard would go a long way towards encouraging booster use among the PUG population.

1:15jrandall0308 : @bioware The 1.06 patch and balance notes are great; however, many changes were still not documented and have only been uncovered by fans. Will it be possible in the future to get accurate reports on the state of the game mechanics? 1:15SRKm00b : JRandall0308 asking the hard questions 1:16 Broadcaster Turbo BioWare : Yeah man, JRandall0308 is hitting hard today 1:16jrandall0308 : srkm00b @bioware asking on behalf of multiple others... and I am practically part of the 4th estate now! 1:17BjornDaDwarf : @bioware well, multiple people routed questiosn through JRandall0308 so several of us wouldn't overlap and ask the same questions. He was just kind/dumb enough to be our rep 1:18 Broadcaster Turbo BioWare : And we appreciate it JRandall0308 + bjorndadwarf... no actual answer yet...
