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. With no disrespect... I will stick to Gold. lol. I rather play lower difficulty than get mutilated by AIs...

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. Personally, I completely lose the will to play video game when I grab my mouse and keyboard....lol I don`t know what I am like this.. but that`s how I am. Mouse and Keyboard are awesome though. I used to play Doom3 and other shooters on PC and mouse was so nice. I just like lay back on my chair... grab controller in front of big TV... and get it go. lol

If it uses m/k, it can feel more like work than leisure. The new gaming PC I recently built is in my LR, hooked up to the big screen, and my arse is firmly planted in the La-Z-Boy when I game. That also makes m/k a little less convenient.

Please let me know which drugs you are taking maybe I would like to try myself. Honestly, I would like to play (and win at times), not being permanently on a suicide mission.

It's sad that anyone with a pc even considers using controllers. When i read such things, part of me dies all the time... My few tips if your not good with a mouse: First disable mouse acceleration with MarkC fix. Get a comfortable mouse that suits your style. I mean according to the size of your hands,if you prefer claw grip or not to claw grip completely different mouses suit your needs. Find a good mousepad that suits your sytle, and doesn't get in your way if you want to move your mouse. Some users prefer slower clothe material pads, i am myself a 100% plastic pad user. I prefer the speed of the plastic pas. Also give time to find out your sensitivity. Some people use 5 centimeters for a turn, some use 30-40cm for a turn or something in between. Again its personal preferance. Give it time, it might take a few days if not weeks, but once everything is set up i guarantee you won't be looking back.

I might try a real gaming mouse at some point, but I play games sitting in my recliner, so using a mouse with any kind of pad probably isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future. Actually, I've been using trackball mice for years, and this is the one I currently have (and love, btw). I appreciate your suggestions, though. I do fine with the mouse, btw - it's WASD - spacebar - etc. movement that I haven't done enough to be very good at it.

I did. But the lsd made it both hard and disorienting, so i guess I missed that. Oh, I see. The rocks really were floating, if you weren't sure. Were they morphing into different shapes too, or was that just me?

If the difficulty curve is anything like ME3, then the benchmark for predictable extractions would be based on how well you are doing on Gold waves 5,6,7. Specifically your equipment usage. Like with ME3, if you can handle waves 8,9,10 on Gold without using any equipment, then you are ready for Platinum. ME3's Platinum was not fundamentally that much harder then Gold, its basically just opens wave 1 like Gold's 8,9,10 and then stays there the whole time. But, Platinum never really ramped up much throughout the match.
So, if MEA's Platinum is like ME3's Platinum, I think the same principle would apply. Wave 1 would basically be slightly more difficult then Gold Waves 5,6,7, and then remain around that difficulty the entire time.

Wave 1 would basically be slightly more difficult then Gold Waves 5,6,7, and then remain around that difficulty the entire time. That might make it a little harder to get some matches going - though I suppose a lot of people who would play Platinum play with friends instead of PuGs. What frequently happens in the matches I see (all PuGs on PC) is that once a lobby has a couple of people present, they'll ready up and get started. They usually fill midway through the first or second wave. The first couple of waves are easy enough that most people don't seem to mind starting with a less-than-full lobby - that would change with the scenario you're describing.

I am quite a scrubby player most of the time but for me, MEA gold is not difficult at all if I make some conscious effort. With a full team of semi-competent players, it is way too easy, certainly easier than ME3 gold, probably something around silver+. So, yes, the enemies should hit harder and every serious mistake made by the players should be punished. If people can handle wave 2 geth with 3 geth primes out there at the same time on Condor, dogfishes and breaches do not seem that threatening and neither are invisible berserkes. But it might be worth trying to minimize cheap stunlock aka heartbreaker for DAIMP, that was not well designed, overdone. IMO, some reasonable payout like 100K+ at about 20-25 minutes might work. Doubling regular gold experience should be there as well.
Look, even I want something more difficult, that means the game is just way too easy.

I hate to keep beating the same epeen drum, but starting a game with 1-2 players and waiting for more to join REGULARLY happened on ME3 Platinum.
However difficult you think MEA Platinum will be, we will make it routine eventually.

Double berserkers stealth cloaked by a destined stunlocking the shyt out of me.... While Nullifiers blow me out of cover so I can get drilled down by Annointeds and their juicers..... All while Hydras, Observers and sharpshooters all throw a f*cking old school rave party of lazers... And to top it all off, my dhan gets reflected back at me by phiras while she guards the double destroyers charging their kamehameha cannons... WHERE THE HELL DO I SIGN UP!!!??

PC players can't handle a couple waves of Platinum without a full team? PC master race status revoked. Maybe they're waiting to see the team composition before they decide which kit and gear to use. People frequently swap around to choose their load-out before they ready. Also, PC is a smaller ME player community than consoles. You're much more likely to find familiar names in the lobby.

I'd like to imagine Platinum as an Observers only game mode, playable only with melee kits. Imagine the glory. For such a game I dare to say the reward should be at least 56k credits!

I can barely get through bronze right now lol. Just had a few matches on bronze and it was actually more fun than I thought it would be and I did really well too but any higher difficulty than that right now would require some real curry. I know the guys are very good at that, they've been so sweet to carry me through gold but it's stressful for me when I keep dying all the time, I can't even imagine what platinum would be like...

That's just your lack of gear for now. Once you have stuff, and learned the necessities, gold feels like bronze.
