Have they noticed that reload > jump > late dash is now the best way to reload while staying mobile (and that it's kinda dumb)? I don't see them making any kind of mechanic change, but reloading could use a look.

I don`t even expect BW to be capable of fixing Fiend. ...but making Fiend sync-kill not permanent death will make this game so much better for sure. This. |

And if you're not willing to ask them my question from the last thread could you at least ask them why they chose to make 'random' lobby options work differently (and worse) in this game compared to ME3?

Bioware: Will you allow us to remap the Console from the tilda button? Or remap it yourself to the '=' key or something equally far away from in game commands.
Bioware: Can you change weapons with charge up mechanics to hold their charge when we perform actions?
Bioware: Can you give us a toggle for autocover?
Biower: pls

I don't know if this counts as asking about DLC, but are they considering adding architect fights a la Dragon fights in DAIMP?

I have two rather uncomfortable questions but not too uncomfortable: 1. Why the prelaunch announced technical testing program was canceled? Just ask their opinion if this testing would have been useful in a hindsight to make the most illustrious MEA game even more brilliant? 2. Are there any plans for community or other forms of closed/open beta-testing of new contents including possible DLCs or patches for single player or multiplayer? If no, what is the reason? If yes, how it will be implemented? DAI, both single and multiplayer had patch and DLC community testing which hopefully helped the developers. Is there any specific reason these programs have been skipped in the case of MEA? They'll definitely not answer those. Of course it'd have been beneficial to have a beta test, but they fucked up and they're not going to admit it. Probably a shortage of time was the reason why there was no beta test, that's my theory. When you see how unpolished the MP was is, it's clear that at least that part was rushed. The beta was never a thing because they probably didn't even have the server infrastructure ready by that time. Bioware: Will you allow us to remap the Console from the tilda button? Or remap it yourself to the '=' key or something equally far away from in game commands. Bioware: Can you change weapons with charge up mechanics to hold their charge when we perform actions? Bioware: Can you give us a toggle for autocover? Biower: pls Why the fuck we have access to the console on the first place? that's what I wanna know. Same for BF games, why? we obviously cannot use console commands because it goes against the rules, then why we can bring the console down? Autocover cannot be changed for snap to cover or toggle, even if they could I'm sure they wouldn't give us the option now. I wouldn't mind autocover if it was more polished, but it's pretty meh honestly. Not smooth enough imo, but I guess it's an "acquired taste" you gotta get used to it. |

This one certainly does not fit any of OP's self-imposed restrictions. Second, it is your own very-very far-fetched theory and nothing more than that. If they wish, they can elaborate on that. And I'm not sure what is wrong with admission of doing something, it is not that difficult, not a confession at all, just an explanation. And such explanation can be very beneficial to everyone in the long run. We have not yet seen even a small glimmer of apology from the developers, maybe it is time. They at least attempted to rectify the issue with ME3 ending in a free update. It did not work all too well but it was an honest and appreciated try. Some questions should be asked regardless of what people think, it is a matter of closure and putting things to rest. |

Some questions should be asked regardless of what people think, it is a matter of closure and putting things to rest. Yeah, I'm not saying that the question shouldn't be asked, I'm saying that I'm pretty confident they wont answer that one. Of course I could be wrong. Simply that, knowing BW they wont go and say "guys we're sorry we fucked up MEAMP, you were right it's a mess" The ME3 extended ending was released not as an apology, it was released as an "expanded way of understanding what happened" or something, I remember they used a very diplomatic speech that didn't put them in a bad position. They wont publicly admit they did something wrong, they're damn too proud for that. Nuking the old forums and giving the dumbest of explanations as of why kinda proves it. But yeah, go ahead and ask, I'm not against it, maybe they'll answer. You never know. |

Super lazy quoting. It's a pain to multi-quote on ProBoards so I just copy/pasted people's questions and didn't do the full quote with names. Sorry.
Will ask about the loadouts. Don't give a shit about colors so not asking that.
Will ask.
Will ask.
Questions about upcoming powers, maps, etc. fall under stuff they won't talk about it.
Lobby improvements are on the list somewhere.
Will ask.
Will ask.
Specify what you are asking please. How should random work?
There's already a question about remapping, I can tack this on.
Will ask.
They're not going to change a fundamental game mechanic.
They are supposedly aware of and investigating off-host issues.
I've been naming all the threads after movies of length N. If you find me a movie series where the 7th movie was (sub)titled "Deeper into the Ruins" then sure.
Hah hah! Definitely something they wouldn't normally talk about but if they are, I bet the won't be able to resist dropping a hint, so I'll ask.
---
Updated OP with questions.
Also a note - because the Twitch chat moves so fast, there is a limit on the number and quality of questions I can get in. I try to choose ones that are either of top priority (according to me) or related to whatever is going on in the Twitch stream (ex. if they're fighting Observers I might ask about Observer design intent).
Don't expect everything to get asked.

We have not yet seen even a small glimmer of apology from the developers Not true. They did apologize to who were triggered by an info dump from some 3rd rate NPC. Draw your own conclusions... As for your questions, they aren't going to answer because a) they don't talk about why they change their minds and  they don't talk about their plans. Basically they talk about fuck all, except for how great the Sweeper is, on Bronze. Once again though, props to JRandall0308 for sitting through the weekly snorefest. You da real MVP |

Thanks JRandall0308 for your continued effort. One day I buy you Andromeda points, maybe. For the balancing of Observers, can you specifically ask about the reduction of their detection/shooting range? Because that is pretty much my only concern I have about them. Everything else about them seems to be in a good spot for me. |

Everything else about them seems to be in a good spot for me. "Observers still feel frustrating to fight -- their detection range is enormous and they seem to lock onto the player instantly with a hitscan weapon. Is this the intention with this enemy?" = = = Regarding what the Bioware devs do and don't answer, in fairness they have answered quite a bit - of their own choosing. Also they have engaged with me and others on reddit (sadly but understandably, not here though). I hope that Fernando Melo (DiscoBabaloo) returns from vacation soon. When he is running the Twitch chat (not the stream), Fernando typically replies to a lot more questions. Even if he only says "we can't comment" then at least we know. |

If the aiming behavior of the AI notably observers, sharpshooters and the hydra could be made more realistic?
Right now they seem to lock on by a set amount of observation time and no amount of movement will break their lock.
The hydra can swivel 180 degrees in a second and still hit you if you evade right past it's legs, which seems a bit unrealistic for a heavy unit.

they don't talk about their plans. Basically they talk about fuck all, except for how great the Sweeper is, on Bronze.
