GameCentral asks Jon Warner some good questions

Those were actually some good questions...now weather or not those were honest answers, is something only time will reveal.

He didn't mention DAMP, just ME3 and ME:A.  I think the approach they had was better then most since the content of those boxes were identical to what you earned normally without having unique items that you couldn't get without spending money.

He lost all credibility with anyone that remembers lootpocalypse in MEA. People were fine with the system in ME3 because the game was just so damn good, but people had serious issues with it in DAI, and you can count on one hand the people who were fine with it in MEA.

I have to agree. Jon Warner seems pretty tone deaf and clueless. He's also said other questionable/dumb things in prior interviews/videos, like, "... once you defeat the Dominion." Maybe that wasn't as big a spoiler gaff as it sounds like, but I don't see the point in even mentioning it.

I didn't really find the interview that good. Some questions were interesting but most were repetitions of information Bioware already released about the game and other questions were downright stupid, like was it really necessary to ask three times if Bioware is going to die?


Ps: let's use less hyperbole shinobiwan .

You mean when he answered that question as part of the following one.



Kinda what I was referring to before when people would only take a small portion of an interview and claim that was BioWare's answer without looking forward into the interview.

It's a figure of speech, not hyperbole.

The amount of users frequenting the MEA MP forum dropped precipitously after the lootpocalypse patch. And "lootpocalypse" isn't my term.

If you're talking about the ME3 comment, I stand by it. The mp was excellent.

You can count on one hand the people who can recognize their own use of hyperbole. 

So much for my career in comedy.

My point was, my guess at what bshep was referring to when admonishing you about hyperbole was your use of this phrase: "you can count on one hand the people who were fine with it in MEA." What "it" was is irrelevant: lootpocalypse, EArmageddon, Visceral Evisceration, whatever. The claim that 5 of fewer people were the only exceptions to anything having to do with MEA is what's hyperbole.

Now that you have both for comparison, don't you think my one-line example with humorous intent was a lot more interesting, or at least concise, than that whole ELI5 breakdown?

P.S., of course, "lootpocalypse" is also hyperbole, but a) I happen to like the cleverness of that portmanteau and, 2) I happen to agree it was a lootocalypse. Because of that, it's the less interesting thing to point out, to me, anyway. 

Bloated inventory is how I describe it, seems to be a little more descriptive for people that might not know.  Personally the people I know that played multiplayer were fine with the CCTG aspect until they blew apart the inventory with 1.09.

Yep, agree...that was an inexplicably stupid decision...at a time when MP was already on life support.
