Hey Camden, since you're here answering questions about javelin abilities, is it at all possible to look into the interceptors charge (spark dash)? As an avid vanguard player in mass effect I was a bit disappointed with the Interceptors charge and how it just goes horizontally in whatever direction you're facing instead of being a target lock on. Feels sort of clunky imo.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks a ton - yeah I didn't mean to presume I knew how it worked; more that the buttons are freed up in terms of assignment. Again thanks so much for the prompt feedback, you guys are really killing it in that department and it's glorious.

Hi /u/BioCamden I have a question about the Storm's Wind Wall. I noticed in the VIP demo while I was flying that the Wind Wall would always bury itself into the ground when placed on the map even if I tried to place it in the air. Is this its intended functionality?

How would that work on controller? 🤔

I think the main concern is more towards text chat. I see you alrdy have a few ppl replying with their points but I’d like to add some that were left out that’ll hopefully be passed on and considered.

Whether it’s voice or text chat it does not need to be fancy in a game. The most basic of either is just fine. It’s not a secret that things like Discord for example will be used often over in game chat options due to reasons like always being available and not needing to be in game to talk, easier to share links/screenshots along with ease of access due to also being an app.

This doesn’t mean that text/voice chat in a game isn’t necessary though. Communication with random players to complete content was alrdy mentioned but in addition to that there’s another huge point to it. In game chats are were a lot of friendships/squads/guilds etc are started.

For example you just get done running a nighthold with randoms and it was a good group.. you type out “hey guy...

‘Twas the night before Demo
And all through the sub
Redditors wanted to see
If they could run in the Hub

They want to slay with their friends
And do the Stronghold all night
Blowing grabbits apart
What a wonderful sight!

But the devs worked furiously
To limit the fires
That the Freelancers would start
Like they did the week prior

For if the Dominion prevail
With the Anthem of Creation
That would certainly spell doom
For our great peoples’ Nation

But here is the plan
So you’ll want to listen
I’m 95 percent finished

If I didn’t know any better, it was starting to feel like “don’t you guys have phones?” But with mics.. lmao

Thanks for the updates!

I have no problem with voice chat only.

But i do, really, really want a matchmaking filter for mic only.

Is there a way to do it so that I am only paired with people with active mics? If voip is default on, there will be a lot of players who have it turned on who don't have a mic attached. I want to make sure I am matchmade with players who will communicate.

Don't be like FO76 and assume everyone will always been in a perfect environment to use and listen to voice chat. There are plenty of reasons people won't or can't use voice.

They just don't want to be heard, maybe their accent, speech impediment, or something else.

There are other noises in their room that will disrupt other people.

Their mic just doesn't work for some reason.

A chat box will mitigate all that. It doesn't even have to be on screen all the time. Just when people use it.

Even on console, we need it, no matter what counter argument is brought up for a very simple reason: puzzles.

I’ve never been so flabberghasted. How do I make three other people not undo what I just did, if they all are listening to music or just have me muted?

Text chat.

In a game like this, where you can get stuck on an objective indefinitely, we need to be able to say “match the colours” or “don’t leave the platform” and not just with our voice that might not be heard.

If at that point I still don’t get their attention, I’d just leave; but floating around shooting at something or throwing flares hoping someone will notice is just as maddening.
