Taking it slow, enjoying every match, regularly switching characters and weapons and most importantly: playing with friends while communicating via TeamSpeak.
I've learned from my MMORPG days that grinding anything makes you burn out really fast no matter what, so taking it slowly and setting myself small goals each playing session is much more satisfying for me.
Constantly crashing kills the fun much quicker for sure, I can relate to that even though I haven't encountered any crashes myself, yet (fingers crossed).
Vague Hope that the game will eventually come around to having more than two types of good weapons and classes.
Also Sirian's Vanquisher solo vid, if only to stoke the flames of aim-rage. Unfortunately I pretty much onlyUseMeVanquisher now but at least using game time to train tracking, mad flicks, jetpack/dash shooting and long range consistency gives me a slight amount more purpose than just grinding for absafucking nothing.
Interest is waning. I maxed my manifest yesterday so I will wait and see.
Jesus H Christ. I don't even have all my uncommons maxed.
I'm sticking around bc I see potential. The most interesting thing is honestly the modifiers. There's such potential there for weekly changes/challenges based on modifiers.

Nothing. I haven't MP'ed in a week now. In that time I did a 99% (courtesy of bugged improved Nomad shielding) complete SP playthrough. Started a NG+ Insanity playthrough and have gotten Eos and Voeld done, heading to Havarl. Every time I load up the MP I sit for a moment then just, meh and switch to SP. It's sad that I find MP tired and boring already. How can the same company that held my attention for 5 years have f'ed this up so bad?

Currently saving credits for future dlc but if they don't release a patch on thursday I don't think I'll play untill one comes out and only come back if said patch is good. May do the occasional game with friends here and there but really can't be bothered solo grinding this game like I could with me3.

I liked learning new characters, unlocking new stuffs and most importantly cooperative team play. I even enjoyed every single game of Zero/Outlaw/Gold.
However, I am extremely frustrated with PS4 error CE-34878-0 that has started to happen since the patch 1.05. This error has about 25% chance happening off-host.. and drop you from the game during wave 4-7(funny enough NEVER EARLIER).
I am extremely discouraged to continue play this game. I am mostly gonna try play as host with my one friend invited... but will be extremely reluctant to join a game as non-host player. ...and the game where everyone tries to be the host? = dead game.
Hello! I play really really casual now. PuG only player. Random teams always present a new challenge and gameplay, and I will be bored without them.

It was fresh and new at the time, so now it's just your nostalgia talking.

Nah. It's the same feeling I had with Warframe when they introduced Archwings, Destiny leading up to TTK and ESO following Orsinium. Too much of the same old grind combined with artificial difficulty makes Jack a dull boy. Perhaps if, and this is a big IF, EAWare ever figures out how to balance this shitshow, it will be fun for me.
Trying out new classes. I'd say weapons, but so few are even serviceable.
So far no class is truly fun, although I don't mind the Krogan Engineer or the Asari Adept. Lots more to try since I can only plow through a couple of matches in a row at best. Too dull otherwise.
It's a good place to leave negative emotions behind. It's what I play while waiting for the next patch. Hopefully I can then continue the singleplayer. (Hint: FIX YOUR SINGLEPLAYER TOO PLS!)
I'm stilly hoping to get a Vanquisher. I'm 57 hours in and I still don't have one. My friend on the other hand has a Vanquisher VIII with about the same amount of time logged in. Admittedly I have been lucky in other ways (Valiant III, Hurricane I, ect.)
Quite a few have said they are going to wait and see how BioWare approaches weapon/power balance or connection/stability patches, or are continuing to build their manifest in hopes of the weapons/kits eventually getting better.
For me, I've stopped completely. After another dozen or so disconnects, I just can't find it in me to play MP. I've been messing around in the single player still, it's definitely worth going through at least once or twice imo. I would keep grinding out my manifest to get better weapon/kit ranks but I'm going to wait and see what BioWare does. It's fun and I see the potential there, but it's not quite hitting the mark that ME3 MP did so well.
As the title says, if you are currently still playing MEA:MP, what's keeping your interest?
* Still waiting for my Hurricane I, Piranha I, Valiant I, Black Widow I and upgrades of those weapons and upgrades of other decent weapons.
* Getting all my kits that I plan on playing to level 20 (pretty much all commons and uncommons, selected rares and URs)
* Hope that upcoming patches/updates will fix up and improve MP dramatically

No. It's weak weapons, weak abilities, long cooldowns on everything, uninspired enemies and characters, more gamebreaking bugs (...)

I'll play if I'm in a group with friends. I have fun when they are on. In ME3, I would play with friends or solo if no one was on. With this game, I don't have the desire to hop in solo. If there is no one to join, I find myself going back to Overwatch or screwing around in Diablo 3.

I guess because I have 40 hours played in mp and only 2 disconnects. Idk if it because I'm playing on a ps4 pro and the game runs smoother on there or because I'm usually always host. Games hella fun, but a guy I play with always gets disconnected. I actually have to put the game on private after we get a full lobby, so just in case he gets booted, he won't be replaced. Other than the disconnects and a lot of the guns and abilitys being underpowered, the mp is amazing. Loving the grind.
