Twitchy Questioning 8: BSN Questions Manhattan

Twitch confirmed for the usual time tomorrow.


Note that I will be traveling tomorrow morning and won't arrive at my destination until shortly before the Twitch stream. Please try to get your questions / comments in by tonight. (Er... within the next ~7 hours from now for those not in my time zone.)

I like the change. It keeps every class from having dead slots in specs and allows you to try everything the first time you join a game with that char. (1 point frags feel pretty worthless though.)

I'm not sure how you would want to phrase this, but I'm wondering if they really intended the bonus stats to be such a grind for the small increases. Just a guess here, but it looks like it requires 116,985,000 XP to get to level 10. In the case of something like shields, level 10 nets about 25 more shields for most characters. That's almost 5,000,000 XP per point. I don't think most people want to see anything resembling bonuses like in DAIMP, but this seems pretty excessive.

They talked about this a few weeks ago. They wanted the bonus stats to support players who invest a lot of time into the game but not to give a big advantage like they did in DAIMP. I think they also said that initially you had to re-set to level 1 to get the bonus stat, but they took that out when they got feedback (during the alpha) that not everyone wanted to grind back up to 20. Bottom line, the way the bonus stats work in MEA is a deliberate decision that I don't think they are going to change.


On the topic of past Twitch conversations, I have contemplated making a master list of everything they've ever talked about, somehow organized by keyword... add it to my ever growing backlog of MEA related projects.

Aren't they already doing it? I know I saw ammo compartments twice for example. Didnt have the MF required back then.

The clap.

This just in. (Well, just in for me.)

Why is this Twitch streaming wasting everyone's time specing his character including colors? Nobody want to watch that. Play the game, kid.

Oh here we go.
