Why is it called biotics?

... it should be called chaotics.

Ever been on a full biotic multiplayer team? It´s insanely chaotic, every enemy flying in every direction, you look up and all you see are foes flying over you, the problem was that nothing was really getting killed and a simple silver match turned into a nightmare. I regret not to have recorded this match, must have been fun to watch due to the sheer of pulls/pushes and people trying to focus on the Revenant who was pushed away as soon as his barrier went down.

Only in the 6th round after losing 2 to a fiend everyone kept ignoring probably because push/pull doesn´t work on it did we stop the dance, we got things done the old fashioned way, one at a time with bullets and a couple of cobras. The extracting round turned into aiming at the clouds ... I was guilty as charged for joining in on the push/pull idiocy.

Anyway, if you get 4 biotics on a team with random strangers, record it, it will probably make a good watch.

  • An all biotic team could be something of legend if players used their combos well, but in a random group that's not likely to happen.

    @Fred_vdp Maybe it will be a legend thing after they get the combo bonuses bug fixed and the power damage worked out.  Right now biotics and biotic combos don't do enough damage...but they say they are fixing this next patch, according to the last twitch vid.

    @mcsupersport I haven't played much as a biotic class online because I've been focusing on tech, so I was basing this on my experiences with ME3 multiplayer. I didn't know there was a bug, but it's good they're fixing it.

    Speaking of bugs, am I supposed to be able to detonate a biotic trigger with tech?

    if you're being funny, that's pretty good. if not...  then no, it's not a bug.

    @Fred_vdp yes, they wanted the combos to be easier, so every detonator works with every trigger

    That's what I was thinking - bionics is probably trademarked.

    antibiotics? - taken

    pro-biotics? - you don't eat them, you throw them out

    psionics? - way overdone

    biotics - comes from living things

    Just biotics it is then. The match sounded like hella-fun.
