Hmm, I was under the impression wraith only got stealthed by what's-their-name, not actually self cloaking. Shows how much attention I pay Dude, play the first 10 minutes of single player. I did. But the lsd made it both hard and disorienting, so i guess I missed that.

In ME3 it somewhat made sense how the factions were mixed together in plat. We had the collectors who were Harbinger's puppets. We had the Geth Heretics plus in the end even the Illusive Man was indoctrinated. So the reapers had literally all factions at their disposal.
I don't think that would work or would make sense with ME:A. In my opinion it would be 1 enemy faction but probably more boss type units and maybe more tough units per wave. Like wave 1-2 already having an ascendant and and a fiend. More and tougher annoy-teds and destineds. Enemies executing flatlined teammates faster. Wave 2 alerady having 2 ascendants and 1 fiend. From wave 3 double ascendants and dobule fiends with wave 6 and extraction 2 fiends and 3 ascendants. Or something similar.
It would be still nothing compared to the waves in ME3 where we had triple geth primes or triple banshees. Followed by shitload of dragons and phantoms.
But as others said, i doubt it will ever happen.

I say bring on the platinum as I am so ready for it. With a decent team, gold is just far too easy (even with a full squad of level 1 kits). Kett could get crazy (especially with the KROGAN added), but the other factions would still be easy unless they add sync kill units.

We survived Phantom + Rocket Trooper + Geth Prime waves (Geth Platinum Wave 4) and Banshee + Geth Prime + Praetorian waves (Collector Platinum Wave 9). So I say bring it on. I would almost agree with this EXCEPT, those Cobra Missiles were straight up nukes. These MEA Cobras are like sticks of dynamite.

After the kett nerf and weapon buff's this game became way too easy. Remnant gold is boring and way too easy, outlaw gold is boring and way too easy, Kett gold is not boring but not as easy as remnant or outlaw but still easy. After 3 months this game is reaching its end cycle by me already. While i kept playing Me3 for 5 years.

1. Adhi/breacher/wraith are the husks of Andromeda. 2. Perceiving them commonly as so totally annoying means Bioware must have done a pretty good job (again). 3. Bioware folks are sadists. 4. We must be masochists. 5. Longing for platinum means we will be masochists squared. 6. My worst nightmares would become true. 7. I would love it.

I would almost agree with this EXCEPT, those Cobra Missiles were straight up nukes. These MEA Cobras are like sticks of dynamite. Remember there is only 7 waves in ME:A instead of 11. Plus the units in general are much less scary in ME:A. Compare Berserkers or Anoiteds or Nullifiers to Scion's or Phantom's. They are a joke in comparison. If we compare hydra's Destroyers Ascendants or Fiends to Praetorians Banshees or Geth Primes they are again a joke in comparison.

You are very very special. I am not being sarcastic. You are very good. I carry PuG from time to time, but the game is still tough enough to limit my choice of character when I see the team underwhelming overall.

Tough.Pretty tough and heavily depending on team. Look at todays's Kett gold mission with upload in wave 6. Failed twice cause 2 out of 3 upload zones were directly located together with fiend and ascendant camping in the zones and for every foe taken out two others were jumping in making it impossible to finish the upload in time. Survived but mission failed. Still fun though...

Platinum = dropping you in a game with two of the three factions fighting you at once... Oh noes, you're fighting equal parts Gold Kett and Gold Remnant? PURE MADNESS! lol I'd play it. On the other hand, cloaked observers can be amusing in a way... lol

A B C Upload/Assassination are bad... especially for underwhelming team... but the device & pizza delivery can also go crazy if a good player had unfortunate drop/demise... or the team has infiltrator that is absolutely clueless. Single Upload is blessing, but we need this to get some lucky break. lol

Tough.I rarely PUG so I do understand how it would be much tougher and frustrating at times. With a normal group, it is much different as there is organization. ALOT of pugs are simply clueless and uneducated. Without the testers (and BSN) we wouldn't know alot of things either. Thank you again MEA testers!

One thing i always forget. I am a pc user with stable net, stable fps and a good gaming mouse with a very good mousepad. Aiming is very easy for me. But i always forget how hard it can be for controller users.

My idea on Andromeda Platinum
Enemies (General)
·Enemy gunfire constantly does headshot damage on players. ·Trooper units take cover more often, and will fire aggressively as they are in attack mode when in cover. ·Sync-kill does not need preposing action (i.e. Melee). ·All enemies will be able to detect cloaked players and attack them, though the reaction time will be longer.
Remnant
·Shield recharge speed is 125%, and recharge delay is 50%. ·Breacher flies 50% faster. Its suicidal blast radius is extended by 100%. ·Nullifier fires three blasts rapidly every time. ·Destroyer turrets are invincible.
Outlaw
·Adhi running speed is 120%. ·Raider has shield (40% of Sharpshooter's shield strength). ·Agent Decoy will explode when destroyed and does heavy area damage. ·Saboteur Energy Drain will create electric field which does DoT on players in it. ·Berserker fires its shotgun between Flak Cannon spamming and meleeing. ·Hydra's sync-action will execute the caught player (leave him/her unrevivable).
Kett
·Chosen and Destined throw grenades more often. ·Anointed will use Turbocharge before firing its weapon (longer burst and better accuracy). ·Enemies around Ascendants are cloaked. ·Ascendant bubble attack (non-sync one) ignores shield gate and will do fire DoT on players. ·Fiend is already fair enough for this difficulty.
Players
·Shield and health recharge delay are increased by 50%. ·Shield gate duration is shorter (1/10 of that on Gold). ·Damage reduction effect is decreased by 25%. ·Cobra Missile Launcher is prohibited.
Other stats (health, basic damage and anything not mentioned) are the same to Gold ones.

But i always forget how hard it can be for controller users. yep, on xbone I cannot snipe to save my life... I play on PC with a controller. That's because the only shooters I've ever played prior to MEA were on the PS3, so I'm accustomed to using a controller. I've tried to convert myself to m/k, with mixed results. Aiming to fire a weapon is a breeze, but I move around like a drunken rhino on steroids. Need more practice before I'd go into a live match with m/k.
