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. When I started a few weeks ago I struggled heavily with bronze and thought it' s like ME3 silver, not thinking about gold ever viable. Rank X/lvl 20 characters and rank X weapons (any will do, ultra rares not required) and bronze most often (yet not always) is going for a stroll, but gold still requires good team play for standard lobbies and can be very challenging for APEX missions with tampered/limited weapons/skills. Upload wave 6 and/or Kett always balanced on a knife's edge. For me in these cases already gold+ at least. It really depends on the lobby setup. A group of people talking and agreeing via headset constantly can be "easy going", much more relevant to success than high level kits/weapons by the way. Same setup but no talk, everybody doing something but not coordinated can be destined to failure. This is what makes it so incredibly diversified and interesting for me. Seconds can decide on glory or elimination. Btw also why imho solo is very challenging even with the "easier" tasks like devices or pizza delivery. It's meant for cooperation not for lone wolves. Love it.

I haven't touched brawnz since 3 days after release, levelling up kits in silver and gold. If you stick next to sentinels that team drain, or shield boosters, it's really manageable. Pick kits that have survivability and it's easy. And once platinum hits, that's my first tactic again.

Why not? 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. Sorry but lame excuse is lame. A true pro / N7 / esports worthy player can take any character into Platinum without regard or concern for what others are playing. For example, whatever this tells you to do: masseffect.randomize.free.fr/random_game_english.html

I'm ready for platinum.
For me personally on Xbox
Bronze is a joke and I'll play it while helping other players rank up or apex
Silver is also a joke, as above
Gold, while I've still never solo'd (never bothered for a pathetic reward and chance of upload wave 6), is also pretty easy especially for certain classes like my turian agent.
I'm getting a little bored now as I have to play classes I don't enjoy to create a challenge.

Did anyone (successfuly) try to solo the remnant vault gold mission with twice hack? I failed, just too many foes. Still trying remnants.

BTW, I've no idea what people do on ME3, since I've not played much of it, only MEA - and I sometimes get impatient waiting for people to ready.

You're in a thread about hypothetical Platinum difficulty in MEA because Gold is too easy.
It's epeen all the way down.

I'm just looking at from the standpoint of how gold games related to arsenal packs or PSPs in ME3. If gold in ME3, only rewarded 60k, or whatever a spectre pack cost, good grief, 95% of maxed manifests would not have occurred. With Plat, play 2 games, you could buy 3 APs or PSPs. If (big ass if) there is a Plat on MEA, I would hope the reward would be at least enough to get a premium pack. But, it won't be, because grind and shit.

You're in a thread about hypothetical Platinum difficulty in MEA because Gold is too easy. It's epeen all the way down. Which has exactly what to do with some people occasionally taking their time to ready-up? (And I guess sometimes I forget that some people seek challenge for the associated epeen.)

If you take time to ready up your epeen is clearly too small to get right to the action. Particularly if you WAIT for OTHER PEOPLE to ready up, it means you have a small epeen. Q.E.D.

That's just your lack of gear for now. Once you have stuff, and learned the necessities, gold feels like bronze. I hope so. I had some a few more matches and I'm actually starting to have fun at this game, a nice improvement i think the kit is more important than gear. infiltrators, soldiers, and engineers for me are the easiest.

I had some a few more matches and I'm actually starting to have fun at this game, a nice improvement If you want to have easiest time do the followings 1. Play recharge evo infiltrator with grenade. Just go into cloak, throw grenade and constantly dash while power is on recharge. You will never die and score high. 2. Play Salarian Operator with maxed power duration + shield boost + fitness. One of most durable character in entire game. Only 1 second delay between shield boost effect end and next one which is gone if you add small power efficiency booster. 3. Play Vanguard with Full Nova & Charge. Just find singled out enemy and use nova and charge. Super easy no need to aim. lol. Those are really easy to play and I use them when I am tired myself.

If you take time to ready up your epeen is clearly too small to get right to the action. ... or your bladder. Sometimes people are simply afk, and have just come out of another match, but are still in the lobby. Good to know. Now I can have a fully-formed opinion about people who take awhile to ready up. I appreciate the education in this epeen phenomenon.

That's good advice thank you Some of the friends from AHF helped me again today, so that was nice. I think I might actually enjoy this game again MEAMP is a few simple things. Actually all shooters are these things.... Aim- its a shooter you have to be able to hit, reach for 100%, because 1/100 shots could mean the difference. Reponsiveness- Things change constantly, be ready for them. Anticipate them, anticipate the enemy anticipating them. Alertness- Got grabbed by Fiend? Thats because your scope narrows your FoV (or he just came though the floor ) Knowledge- All the enemies are preprogrammed, and they do the same thing, all the time, everytime. Confidence- Feel like your going to win, and know that nothing will stop you! My aim isn't great, I miss a few shot here and there. My reponsiveness is rediculous, Call of duty and battlefield MP ensured im ready. Im also paying attention to not what im shooting, but whats behind them, who's next to them, whats next to them at the time. Also listen out for indicators. Crappy ass turtle beach headphones aren't cheap literally because of people needing to be alert. I also, to a degree know what my enemies are going to do, and how what I do to them effects them, and vise versa. Lastly, i'll be dammed if I let a couple of pixles take me down. At least until I go down.... To play any game, you have to adapt to the game, your not good at gold.....pfft so, neither was I in ME3MP. Until I played gold so much I couldn't bare the idea of playing bronze. Dont play easy mode gold... play the characters YOU like. (its still a game...enjoy it!) Get good at the characters YOU like. Learn ways to overcome all the enemies with the character YOU like. Its all about YOU!

I didn't play me3 for that long either, only started playing around June last year I think it was but the AHF was quick to help me get started, so I didn't feel completely lost. I just never played it from the start like the rest of the guys and that meant that they all were ahead of me grinding wise and they were all pros lol. And it's almost the same with mea, except I started playing it from the beginning this time but I just didn't like it back then, only now have I started to like it and now again are they ahead of me, go figure But we'll manage, I'm lucky that you're all so helpful here
