Twitchy Questioning 12: A Twitch of the Horsequestions

Buh, what? When? Where?

From 1.06 to 1.08, many Assault Rifles received significant improvements, but semi-auto rifles still feel unsatisfying to use. What is the intended niche for these weapons?
Probably a loaded question. What do we actually dislike about semi-autos? Let’s just ask that.

Semi-auto ARs are essentially all inferior to semi-auto pistols. Would you ever take a Mattock, Sandstorm, Halberd over Sidewinder?

Are you looking at the balance among Sniper Rifles? Some UR Snipers feel weak compared to lower rarities.
Can we be more specific? Which URs are weak and why?

Well they buffed Black Widow, but I still hate it. Could be because it's not at X, but now with the bloated card pool they have to expect that it's less and less likely that I'll ever get it to X. Right now, as before patch 1.09, the best Sniper Rifles appear to be Shadow and Vanquisher. Still. I'd like to see the Valiant and Black Widow be better than the Vanquisher, and preferably before they're at X. They should outpace Gold weapons at like, rank 4 or 5 maybe. 

And the Naladen is just absolutely worthless. 

Wow. OK. Well, I guess we have a few weeks to mull over what's most important to ask.

Sneaky as fuck.

We clearly haven't had enough.

Personally I'm going to give Bioware one more chance.  But I will not pre order and I will not buy until the game has been out for at least 30 days. And if the reviews are bad, I'll either skip it entirely or wait until it's on sale at Steam...which probably won't take much more than 30 days if they release another bomb like Andromeda. In fact, if Anthem isn't a big hit I'm not sure that Bioware has a future.  

EA are the worst goons in the gaming world. They pull the same crap in every game under their banner.  They're the direct cause of the death of the ME franchise and probably Bioware. 

They never left.. this place is PoPPin!

That was a tad worse, because it was so short after the initial release and gave us a game breaking bug. In addition it was X-Mas and New Year and that all added up to significantly longer than 2 weeks.

The thing where they confused metric values with the British stuff?

Also, given the significantly increased amount of URs now in the pool, could premium packs be tweaked to increase UR drop rates?

For Tuchanka!

For Rannoch!
