Exactly my reaction, bro. You make that face but he's pretty much the average loadout of video game marketing and PR right now, not even kidding. And that personally frustrates me to absolutely no end. My BA is Communications (PR track) and English, but I can't relocate. The sheer amount of blood I would bleed to remotely/telecommute a PR/community manager position for BioWare or, shit, most any video game developer cannot be properly conveyed with words either written or spoken. But no company seems to really want someone who can handle/would be willing to do that. Nope. Just take whatever's local and throw them to the wolves. Meanwhile, I reiterate that Florida is a fine goddamn place to put a game studio. Weather's awesome. No state taxes. Beach is always a maximum 2-hour drive away at worst. No matter where you land, theme park central is not too far away for the family vacay. And despite the fact that we produce a lot of weird-ass headlines, there's nothing in the water to make you go loco. Umm, bugs?

If you use it intelligently you can kill a fully shielded Destroyer with one single Cobra I'll let you figure out how Is it by letting another player waste a cobra on the destroyer first? Nope. Hint: weak point It's a one shot on all difficulties including Gold.

Just don't go swimming in random water holes where you can't see what's sharing the space with you (pro-tip: you have much more to fear from venomous water-loving snakes than alligators). First legitimate concern I've seen listed. That's a wildcard right there. Exactly my reaction, bro. And that personally frustrates me to absolutely no end.

That's why it's wonderful we can go from our air-conditioned homes to our air-conditioned vehicles to air-conditioned workplaces/stores/etc. Can somebody give me a quick rundown what happened during the stream yesterday? I only know that the new map is cheap joke. I only caught the last 10-15 minutes of the stream and didn't bother going back to watch the earlier bits. They claimed they were gonna be doing something to improve combos and assault rifles, saying they were hearing the feedback loud and clear about those things being woefully under-powered and unsatisfying.

At least they realized that their design philosophy doesn't really jive with what the fan base wanted. But bullet sponge enemies and weak weapons have never been a good design philosophy. Many people hated True Vault Mode in Borderlands 2 due to enemies being so bulletspongy and requiring a slag weapon to even tickle them (especially when combined with cheesy one shot explosions everywhere).

Holistic approach to balancing (whatever that means - best case complete overhaul). Pls bear with us. Lots of going down while trying to talk. They listen a lot. No date for balance stuff given.

Holistic means they're going to meditate in a room with some incense and channel their inner spirit while experimenting with various substances. The resulting positive chi will fix all the game's problems! Seriously, though, holistic basically means they'll be looking at the games various parts and how they affect the whole experience.

Usually when people hear the word holistic they're always like "Isn't that the alternative medicine thing?" But Bioware wouldn't be the first company to say one thing to settle the masses while doing another.

Because the devs are human and have emotions and feelings. Something some people seem to forget. But really, what's happened is that they had a certain endgame in mind for this and it did NOT meet overall expectations of, at the very least, the hardcore (i.e. people like us who post on the forums) and possibly/probably more fans than just our small percentage, and that's an honest kick to the gut as you figure out how to try and fix it. By the way, guy on the left is Conal Pierse and guy on the right is Billy Buskell. Or it could just be because they're fucking buried in snow again. In April. Poor bastards. So that's the guy who personally permabanned me for posting the Frozen "Fuck it All" song on every thread of every page of the old BSN? It's nice to finally put a face to the name. LOL. I got perma by BioMod04 I think, after a 24hs ban and a 72hs ban, for discussing "too much moderation" what a jerk. Whatevs. Conal was the guy with the wonderful job of telling all of us the news that the forums were to be nuked. The "PR guy", that's how I remember him

Well, I have no reason to think they are dishonest either, yet that phrase is such an immensive red flag to me personally that the words have lost their meaning. If "they" want to reach me now they have to do that with their actions and not with the PR sanctioned speech they seem to follow during their streams.

Yup. On the Friday night after they announced the forum would be closing, I dared to say that we might as well start burning couches (because, you know, the forum had descended into anarchy after the news) and it also quoted a friend's post where the word "fuck" was used. Apparently, one of the beloved BioMods thought that was permaban-worthy and so, without even having any warning points and a post history of helping the community and not being a troublemaker, I was permabanned on post 9,999. Half the forum revolted even harder when the news of that broke. And then some sweetheart devs were pissed off that the dumbass outsourced moderation team had gone off the deep end and two of them spent about three hours of their Saturday morning figuring out how to restore me. Because no one had come back from permaban death, so nobody really knew how to make that happen. But it worked and I rejoined my BSN family on post 10,000 and was able to be with everyone as the lights went out. Hell of a time. So basically youre the BSN Jesus. Ok where do I vote for her to get this title?
