Twitchy Questioning 15: The Masterquestioner of Pern

DiscoBabaloo: @matobar weak pts was just a design decision, but in terms of non synth i don't recall why/how that ended up like that

biggy_dx: DiscoBabaloo The power mastery daily challenges (ie. Tech/Biotic/Combat) can feel restrictive at times, as certain characters are able to complete the challenge far quicker than others. This issue is compounded by the score limit needed for completion. Could the 35K threshold be reduced? In addition, could we see additional daily challenges related to weapons as well?

DiscoBabaloo: @biggy_dx possibly. part of the goal is to create a long term chase for players that like that, but i get your pt


Bastiaan says rarity of ammo doesn't affect priming - cna data guys confirm?

on platinum

Benoit notes that cryo is significant in the metagame. If they make flame better they by implication make cryo worse.

jrandall0308: DiscoBabaloo Any definitive answer on whether power re-mapping is feasible on consoles?
Moderator DiscoBabaloo: JRandall0308 not yet :/

Matobar: DiscoBabaloo 7. Outlaw Pariahs can Backlash a player's Flak Cannon, but a player's Backlash cannot reflect a Berserker's Flak Cannon. Is this intentional?

DiscoBabaloo: @matobar maybe more for BASTIAAN or BENOIT - not sure if player backlash unable to reflect Berserk.Flak is intended :/


xRogue5x: @bioware now that we have a lot to spend mission funds on can we get more ways to earn them and increased rewards of them? Also, weekly challenges


solace_uk: DiscoBabaloo Good to know. :-) Is it possible for characters with a held power on one button to fluidly change into the dual button power like the Kieticist can? Mainly thinking of the Asari Duelist with this.

DiscoBabaloo: @solace_uk that would be cool, that's a harder ask but i'll pass it along


(escort mission I think?)
DiscoBabaloo: @me_retrograde possibly


biggy_dx: DiscoBabaloo Two months ago, I asked a question regarding reduced sniper rifle performance do to buffs to enemy shield gate amounts in patch 1.08. Does the team get a sense from the community that sniper rifles have been negatively impacted due to Patch 1.08 changes (via data or comments), and has the team considered rebalancing this particular weapon type or shield gating?

DiscoBabaloo: @biggy_dx haven't seen that (significant enough anyway), but its something we're continuing to keep an eye on

Matobar: DiscoBabaloo 9. Will you ever add a reviving noise? In Warframe, it sounds like you're brushing your teeth. Would be a good way to reinforce APEX's high standards of dental hygiene.

Moderator DiscoBabaloo: @matobar haha, probably not unless ev really feels that's a thing we need to consider


Musikfreak007: I'm thinking a classic map could be fun in the near future DiscoBabaloo . maybe introduced with a new map ?

DiscoBabaloo: @musikfreak007 ya, something we've discussed but wanted to make sure we get new things out first - so, possibly in future?



haloxzealot: DiscoBabaloo Adding Deeper into the Ruins to the normal rotation would boost that adventure-based feedback and give you guys specific data proving my point

DiscoBabaloo: HALOxZealot ya - as usual can't commit to future stuff but 'maybe'

Now that there’s precedent for detonating with melee, would you consider adding this to the Krogan Gladiator’s hammer? It would fit her perfectly!

DiscoBabaloo: JRandall0308 hmm, that's a fairly big change to an existing kit, but i'll throw it over to the team to see what they think

Bastiaan is good at Unreal Tournament 1. Played some of Bastiaan's fan-made levels!

Matobar: DiscoBabaloo 10. The Concussive Revenant is stuck at Rank I on the weapon select screen, even when players have unlocked higher ranks. Not sure whether this is just a labelling problem or if damage numbers are stuck at Rank I as well. Can this be hotfixed and/or rolled into a coming patch?

DiscoBabaloo: @matobar will take a look, wasn't aware of that myself (its possible team already aware though)

And we are done here.
