How to tell you're (finally) running out of character cards ^.^

[Oerba Yun Fang]

Even better way to tell if you're finally running out of character cards.

You are lacking quite the amount there.

Yes, I am. Haven't touched MP since the vorcha/batarian/krogan event and I never played it all that much to begin with. lol

[Deleted]

Yeah, I know, don't check often though

Died on the stairs and was instantly ressed... ended up flying.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

lol I was lagging hardcore one match on a Drell Adept and ended up flying WAAAAAAAAAAAY above the ground. I couldn't move but I could turn and shoot. Talk about death from above. Then after a while I teleported under the ground and then couldn't move or fight at all. Everyone else in the group died in the process but I was untouchable. lol

[Deleted]

Well I could sort of move...
Like I was falling every step and would sometimes get stuck on walls, had to space to take cover to do anything again.
Then fell through the floor and ended up there
Could use powers/weapons at first then after falling ended up only powers... and reeeaaally hard movement (good thing I was tankistar).

I remember that bug on the desert base map, the one with a balcony perfect for snipers.
My vanguard floated up in the sky so high i almost touched the sky.

I can tell you that the map is about 50 times larger than the area you are on, i know this because it was textured area (while empty) that kept going until the "walls" came around and warped the beyond.

Atleast its good to know that the horizons arent just painted walls outside the playarea but actually ARE horizons.

You know I was thinking one day as I was walking home you remember the episode of TNG when worf is jumping realities and then at the end you see all the enterprises and various crews. Well for years all of us who have played mass effect have been doing that. All the different Shepards you and I have created. Imagine if every one was a different reality shepard and imagine if they made a game where youd all meet. I'm not sure what kind of game you'd make it, maybe it would be a better movie.

Bioware has said several times that a Mass Effect MMO is something they could do. Nothing say they will do it but they haven't ruled out taking the IP into a MMO.

That would be really cool in theory. But after TOR Bioware will probably be rather cautious about designing another one.

As long as I can roll a volus . . .

[Grizzly Willy]

I see what you did there. Roll? Volus? Eh? I'll stop.

I would like to see an Elcor in action for once. Come on man, walking tanks! Though, given the option, I would probably roll Geth.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

You can keep your volus and your asari. I'd roll a salarian or turian.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

I go Reaper. Nuff said =O

Because I'm sure they'd let players play something that radikaluss. I mean they let us play as the Death Star in TOR amirite?!

[Deleted]

Screw all of you, i will be rolling a yahg.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

I'm so going to freaking camp your body with mah reaper bro.

That sounds dirty...

TOR is a success to Bioware/EA. They only needed 500k subscriptions to be a success. They exceed their profitability mark. Bioware can certainly design a good MMO (even if TOR has some flaws). The problem with TOR is the same one with ME3 and most of Biowares recent game releases. Marketing and hype. They over hyped it. As long as they don't over hype a ME MMO it would do just fine. It really wouldn't take much more design then already exists in the franchise. Just need to add social/persistent aspects to the MP and you have a MMOFPS.

As for who you would play? Why would anyone play something other then the Geth? You can get away with botting because you are a bot! Though that didn't stop Galaxy of Fantasy from trying to ban a geth.

How do you control over hyping? You obviously want to market your product and get the appetite of your fan base up but at the same time the fan base just carries things so god damn far...

Huh.

The Mars Soundtrack is a variation on the Galaxy Map sound track.





There's a definite similarity between the two . . . or am I crazy?
