I still enjoy playing MEAMP...
but for past week or two, I couldn`t bring myself to play more than 2-3 games at a time.
I can play up to 5-6 games on weekend because I get to have nice break between each session.
Anyway, I cannot help but finding game too repetitive after playing 2 games.
I was thinking about why... and I think it has a lot to do with enemy movements.
First of all, I hate how enemies in this game move without common sense. Teleport, super speed moonwalk.. flying through wall.. all unacceptable to me.
Secondly, they are just too fast...
If I play certain classes with stunning power or tracking (Vanguards, Overload, Flak Cannon...), the game is super easy and enjoyable.
The nightmare starts when I try to play non-staggering power/weapon base classes... so I am simply resolving to play same classes over and over again.
(Mainly avoiding squishy & weapon only base characters with non-staggering powers)
...I`ve played 210 hours... and I am going to continue to play.
The game still a part of my good daily routine after work.
However, now it`s been over 3 months since the release of the game.
I wonder how much people with maxed manifest, new comers and veterans play each day.
I play 2-3 games per day, and that feels just about right to me.

You said you just always PUG for variety, I believe. I can do two games before I'm done but if I have regulars on mic playtime can be extended a few more. Getting stale. |

I lose interest faster. Once in a while.. I drop in a room where 3 other players make gold game easier than a bronze game... I can`t stay in those lobbies for more than 2 games especially.. because game is so dull... haha I still appreciate the work though. |

I can go 3 – 4 games, maybe even 5 if I switch character classes and especially if I'm playing with friends. I've been switching between MEA, Battlefield 1, and, most recently, Darkest Dungeon when I hit burnout of one or the other.

Well, I always play the APEX daily missions myself, so that's three. Then there's the daily challenge making up for another two on average. About two more over the day if time permits it and between two and six more in the evening.
So that's anywhere between 7 and 13, averaging 10 matches a day.
But then, I haven't got a maxed manifest and always reset my characters at 20, so I still play Bronze and Silver as well...
Edit: 99% of my games are pugs

I really should play other classes more... but I get super annoyed with aiming in this game when I am back home tired... |

10 games usually or until I unlock at least one ultra rare. If I don't have the time or enthusiasm to play enough games to unlock an UR then I just won't bother. The manifest is the only thing that keeps me going.

Edit: 99% of my games are pugs I only recently realized that there was daily challenge that give mission fun. lol Now I know why certain maps were more likely to be chosen by people. 10 matches a day is like 2-3 hours a day. If MEA is your main game, I`d say that is totally normal and average. I still haven`t gave up on maxing manifest yet. If people playing along... MEAMP might last more than one year for me. lol |

I don`t get nearly as good drop rate as other people claim here. I force myself to play to make one million credit.. and it often gives me 2 lvl IV consumables + one UR card. I bet I have way more lvl IV consumables than other people who played this game for 200 hours... |

Yes, but all of them work. I know people love the Kromerc and its fun but flak cannon spam gets really old really fast. Its so one dimensional. I know some people who just go in order. Use soldier for a game, use the vanguard a game, use the next character and on and on and on and cycle through. Maybe that would give you a little bit more variety. |

I used to play a decent amount of time until patch 1.08 came out and the poor performance it brought. Now it's only 2-3 games a day, the apex gold mission (if it comes with a multiplier, otherwise a APEX team takes over) plus what's needed to complete the daily challenges; the performance slowdowns are not acceptable for me.
I still hope the next patch will bring some improvements to performance, pc ui problems (mousepointer bug), soundbugs and so on. Even if it's lacking compared to ME3 (which btw. wasn't the holy gral imho), the game can be fun. If certain problems are patched, I can imagine to play more regular again.

3-4 hours a day. About 4 matches an hour when the teams are good and don't waste time in the lobby. So 12-16 games a day.
For me, how many hours I play a day comes down to having company to play with. Most people I know have quit or are taking a break. I myself still play, though significantly less hours than I used to.

I still have half of the UR characters and weapons to unlock, might not be what your survey is looking for. But I mostly play only to fulfill the daily challenges so that I can also say hi to my teamspeak peeps and that's it. Back to playing some ME3 and with the Steam summer sales, got the Bioshock series, now in remastered forms, and spending some time in Rapture.😀

Just do the pug roulette! Start a lobby, and then you mimick the exact kit and loadout of whoever joins. Best played with 2 mates doing the same. Usually freaks out the joiner, and makes for a very entertaining, and sometimes difficult, game.

And once I find somthing fun - the fucking XP grind makes me put it quickly away again. XCOM2 with LW2 mod is what I currently play. It's better than I initially thought. |

I can play for hours with a party of friends. I can only pug for 1 game, and if I don't make it interesting by trolling I lose interest before wave 5.

I don't play that much anymore. I recently started getting interested in mea again and played almost every day, a few games a day but then I started losing interest a bit and now I'm only playing once in a while like a few games a week. My best friend Tony works a lot and he's the one I really like playing mea with, so whenever he has some free time I guess, then that's when I'll be playing the most. Other times I'm mostly into vr games lately.
