Batarian Vanguard (UR) and Shorty shotgun (also UR) visible in the app. Shorty apparently fires 3-round bursts which is interesting. P.S. crashsuit in my app the BatVan is using the Angara graphic... guess this explains what happens before the app is updated: it uses some other placeholder graphic. Thanks for the info, haven't had the chance to look at any of the new stuff yet, just going off what someone in another thread said about the picture being blank. Do you have an Android or iOS phone? Maybe one has it blank and the other has the Angaran. Either way, sounds like the app team has been caught snoozing. It's like when the variant weapons dropped, and in the app they had all that {string} stuff or whatever. |

I'm on iOS.
In other technical news I appear to be frozen in Twitch... rebooting and hoping for the best.

Here's what I see in my Apex HQ app on iOS. Placeholder image for BatVan only in the overall list - he's blank when I look at his actual card. For Shorty, blank in both list and card. |

The #1 category: ‘pleas for mercy’ re: the new loot. Would you consider add’l methods to alleviate the ‘grind’? -- ex. increased payouts (even beyond Apex or Plat.), pack discounts or sales, higher double-card drop rates, packs with *only* chars / wpns (no boosters), etc. DiscoBabaloo: JRandall0308 we're looking at that using the data we get from game |

Benoit: new apex mission, new character (Bat. Van.) Charge, Annihilation, flak, weapon training, combat fitness Does "Weapon Training" mean APEX Training, as another thread indicated was posted in Reddit? If so, can you please ask them if they might consider changing that to a passive that doesn't suck with his skillset, like Munitions Training or a unique passive? |

biggy_dx: DiscoBabaloo Can veteran rank bonuses be tailored for each character; rather than the blanket bonuses we see now? Characters like the Turian Soldier aren’t going to have much use for Power Combo and Melee Damage, since it doesn’t suit their particular playstyle. DiscoBabaloo: @biggy_dx we can look into it but likely stay as is at this point |

BatVan - they wanted to make a character who was an up-close detonator with biotics. (Not sure how this is different from Asari Adept?)

Because there are now 2x as many UR char. cards to unlock, would you reduce the MF price for the Random UR Character? (currently 960 MF) Bastiaan: added a lot of progressoin when we added plat to extend the game for a very long time. some ppl liked it, some ppl didn't. trick was behind the scenes doing quite a bit w/ wpns and mods to not dilute the pool - very small chance to get a variation once you have maxed wpn at rank X. with vet ranks how it was implemented, couldn't do that. gto add'l time from programmers, went in and mofieid how vet ranks are dropped. need to finish all chars at single rarity before you get any vet ranks. why we added them: lots of prog. for wpns, in the end UR wpns were over everyting. added prog for powers & melee. biggy_dx: DiscoBabaloo Ok. Some ability mechanics do not work consistently off-host. Most notably are duration issues for the Turian Havoks Aerial Engagement and Turian Agent's Visor Extended Duration evo. Does the team know about this. DiscoBabaloo: @biggy_dx i'll check after this |

biggy_dx: DiscoBabaloo Thanks. Some characters simply aren’t as viable on Platinum as they would be on Gold (or lower) due to so many shielded and armored enemies. The Human Kineticist, for example, has no means of priming said enemies in Platinum (due to Pull/Throws mechanics). Can tweaks to these characters be made to make them more viable in Platinum? DiscoBabaloo: @biggy_dx will look into it as part of balancing |
