Is PVP something that you would want in future Mass Effect's?

I'm quite tired of BW changing the formula every second game. I'd rather they stick to their guns and focus on improving their actual formula.

Nope, already enough pvp out there, imho...

A MP shooter wants to be either PvP OR PvE.

A space magic game with powers is not the best basis for a balanced PvP game, they are are either OP or have to be nerfed into the ground which breaks the feeling of a ME game.

Imagine you get your shields knocked out but have full health but someone uses Pull and you are now floating into the sky and unable to do anything while being open to any attack. Or you get staggered a bit and they think that power is a waste of time.

Warframe tried it and they had to re-make it as a completely separate mode with different effects and the weapons changed dramatically. Star Trek Online just based their new season with a PvP flavour to cater to the vocal minority.

In both games it is ignored by 95% of the player base.

If you want PvP play a dedicated game and leave the rest of us to enjoy what we like.

pvp? hmm...

Nope. There are goddamn lot of PvP games - all Call-Of-Duties, all Battlefields, all Star-Wars-Battlefronts, all Titanfalls, even Halo and fucking Doom (where PvP dewsn't fit at all IMHO ... while co-op MP would suit from the mere logic point of view). Who wants PvP - is kinda free to go and play there.

Haven't seen this thread in a while

Something simple like monsters vs people like in Singularity or Killing floor where you take turns would be fun.

However, everyone would play as dogs and go humping all the other players.

Comedy potential is huge.

What your talking about is not a issue at all. You already have a base idea of how ME works and your applying single-player vs AI enemy mechanics to a PVP idea, which doesn't work. With a PVP senario, things would be much different, but still implementable.

Using your example, such as pull, you realize there have been "pull" mechanics in video games for what 20 years now


Pull in mass effect is simply a LONG exageration of Player A incapacitating Player B. Pull in a PVP setting would be much shorter, and player B would have to regain control very quickly in order to maintain balance. Shyt even better, take this for example, what are you doing while your grabbed by a breecher or adhi, you incapacitated while getting targeted by multiple enemies. Even if things were the way they are in ME now, it wouldn't be an issue, it would be that players would not just be run and gun and simply having your shields drop would be a death sentence, kind of like halo.

To take it in another direction, ME could take a more MOBA approach with it being PVPandE, where a player would be more like a Berserker to where certain status effects simply don't apply or effect the players movement, and you can have raiders and observers simply be A.I. "minons"

lol I should be making money off of this. :srs:

/thread

Even if there were any, I won't be going anywhere near anything produced by these fucktards.

yes, of course, i can be fun
but only if we can heal our teammates and there are coop skills/powers
