Twitchy Questioning 7: Questions Are Forever

Something about whether it's working as intended that the health pack doesn't grant any brief damage immunity like it did in ME3MP?

Read my second post and everything will be made clear.

How come that we dont get points for damaging the shield of a unit, while we are getting points for damaging health and armor bars?

I didn't know I was wounded.

There is no indication, anywhere, to support your first post. You did waste my time fishing for your second post, so, congratulations?

New questions.

A few of my own:

"What is the design intent behind sync kills? It’s not fun as a player to spend most of a wave in spectator mode, particularly when you got sync’d due to off-host connection issues."

"1.08 made improvements to basic melee attack damage almost across the board, yet jump-melee was untouched. What was the design rationale behind this decision?"

And yours:

"Regarding the new 1.08 packs, Reserves and Arsenal: does the improved chance for characters and weapons respectively affect the Rare chances, the Ultra-Rare chances, or both?"

"In ME3, the First Aid Pack equivalent (Ops pack) granted brief damage and stagger immunity (i-frames), which made it more useful for skilled play. Could First Aid Packs be modified to work this way in MEA?"

"For MP armor color customization, would you consider adjustable finishes like matte, glossy, etc?"

(I was going to say 'who cares?!' but they added light color customization instead of umpteen other things they could have done, so... priorities!)

Because armor is basically yellow health and you only get points for damaging health.

Pretty awesome. Can't wait for Expert Package

Why does premium packs contain level 1 and level 2 boosters? Shouldn't it be top tier consumables only?

Why does the new jumbo pack only grant level 1 boosters along the supplies?

No Twitch streamers today, probably because servers just came back up recently. Also (speculating) they don't want anyone else scooping the new content in their own channel.

Someone asked about any ME news at E3, response was "stay tuned".

Anyone willing to post a link to the twitch stream?

Why are Sync kills needed in game? Bastiaan says with every enemy you can deal with it. If you want to overpower all the players' tools have to do so much damage that it becomes spikey and players die quickly. To add some threat within a wave, so that an enemy has to be watched out for, that's where sync kills come in. Design itent is there is a good tell - "this enemy is about to sync me" - "I need to respond now" - hasn't always worked visually audially, made some improvements.
