While I was off playing MWO… BioWare went and adhered to their Q&A schedule! (I know, the nerve of them, right?).. The Weekly Q&A is now up, and this week’s selection of questions, and answers, is much better than it has been the last few weeks.
Here’s my favorite one from the week:
Skendra: Question about Legacy! Under Character Perks -> Travel, at 1.2 there was buff for Sprint Speed but locked and now in 1.3 it was changed to Priority Transport. Why?
Will Wallace (Senior Designer):Â There were both internal and external balance concerns about allowing players to purchase upgrades to Sprint speed, especially as it related to advantages in Warzones. We don’t want someone to feel like they have to have an optional purchase to be competitive in PvP. The Priority Transport perks were created as a replacement since they are beneficial for all players without upsetting the balance of the game.
I’d still like to know the reason BioWare shifted from the announced legacy level “or” large sum of credits required to purchase Legacy items, to the current legacy level “and” large sum of credits required model.. but this week’s Legacy related question at least shows they’re trying to take balance into consideration with the perks.
Read the whole Q&A here… and chime in with your question for next week’s Q&A here.
