Twitchy Questioning 6: The Undiscovered Question

Did the design team intend for combo detonation to *discourage* team play by having the detonation end team-wide debuffs?
Ex: Cryo Beam’s substantial debuff to enemy armor is ended when a Cryo Combo is detonated. But the players are not told this anywhere.


Bastiaan: Of course not intended to discourage team play. It's a skill question. how do I want to equip my powers for combo or damage. Gen'l design for playing with friends, may not work as well when playing with randoms. There are certain consequences, there are a lot more detonators, but this does mean depending on how you spec this can be better or worse. I really like the extended debuffs that some powers give you.

Billy - cost benefits. Some play differently with differently styles.

Why can you not play Apex on any difficulty? Bastiaan - it's a config that includes difficulty level. they can make duplicates but this would increase how much MF is available.

Some actions have unintuitive priorities. Landing interrupts a reload. Rockets, cover vaulting, and revive interactions cannot interrupt a reload. Almost anything interrupts and puts away an equipped rocket. Is this something you will look at, to improve game flow?

DiscoBabaloo: JRandall0308 will check, but i think in this case some things are not easy to tweak (not without touching a lot of other systems) :/

Billy topscored! WTG Billy!

he is switching to Avenger S and Charger S to show those off

The reason we are getting Gold Apex story mission is because of feedback on forums and in Twitch. See, they do listen!

S-tier weapons were originally SE but SE rank X...

Hey JRandall, I just wanted to thank you for volunteering your time on our behalf.

So I think that's Disco's polite way of cutting me off, I will leave them alone now and prepare my reddit thread.

B&B talking about how slight differences in skill evolutions can lead to vastly diff playstyles.

(question about swapping abilities on characters)

DiscoBabaloo: @matobar not likely, for us to change an existing kit's abilities outright would have to be a pretty serious issue

Dean_9889: DiscoBabaloo 3 things: 1. can we finally get a turian sentinel (my fav me3 char)? 2. i suggested to get a setting for having tech armor always visable. bioware replied to that but will it be there in the next patch? 3. can we get fuctionall armor to unlock in mp? (something like in sp)

DiscoBabaloo: @dean_9889 maybe. i'll have to check. not likely, but you never know.
