Mass Effect 3 passive bonuses aren’t broken, just algebraic!

Some players of the Mass Effect 3 demo have complained that passive bonuses are “broken” or “buggy,” disallowing complete enjoyment of the small taste before the full game launches on March 6th, 2012 in North America (March 9th for Europe).

However, according to BioWare’s own Manveer Heir, a Senior Designer on Mass Effect 3, there’s absolutely nothing broken about the powers in the demo, they’re just mathematical!

I'd like someone to explain how your Barrier stat impacts the damage output of Nova for Vanguards. The description says that the damage is based on how much Barrier you have, but the listed damage and force total under Nova skill does not change when I increase my Barrier stat.

--Onilink--5218d ago

im guessing it just means how much of your barrier you have left, and not the specific number of you barrier stat(which technically should matter as well), so basically if you take damage and your barrier is low, nova doesnt do as much damage

Basjohn5218d ago

Easier way to get it I think is to see it as %-based. Probably Nova does X damage if Barrier is Y% full. So it never increases with a better barrier, rather just with the barrier being closer to it's 100% no matter what that actual value is.

I think what you and Basjohn are saying sounds likely. I can't think of any other scenario. That's somewhat frustrating though, because in the demo you start with a full Barrier bar, do a Nova, then it refills in like 3 seconds. So if I get into a fight and my first attack is a Nova, it makes no different how high my total Barrier is, it'll do the same amount of damage, assuming I haven't taken any hits yet. Does that sound right?

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast538d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman538d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast538d ago

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
