My friends. I'm already over this game. The only reason I keep playing it is so I can shoot the shit with my friends, and also laugh at them when they fuck up. Real talk. This community is the only thing holding the game together for me. I play it just so I can come on here and whine about how bad it is.

Different character combinations and builds.
Started running with the Human Sentinel a few days ago. Really loving the synergy with teammates it has. That almost invulnerable barrier she puts up. Great for screwing up melee units and also saving teammates.
Haven't yet tried a whole bunch of characters: Huntress, Angaran Insurgent, Gladiator, Asari Sentinel...Human Vanguard(!) Krogan Mercenary, Krogan Engineer. Also haven't yet unlocked the Angaran Avenger or that Salarian with the pet Remnant I keep shooting at by mistake.
So that'll keep me around for a bit.
I will have a whinge that it takes too long to level up characters. Which is doubly shitty because you can't run on Gold except with certain weapons. So your stuck in Silver (That's fine except for the low XP you get), or going up to Gold where your choices are limited to either very high levelled characters, or the Vanquisher. I hate being carried so, yeah, that limits my options a bit.

Occasional bursts of fun, friends, and APEX Missions. However the grind, off-host disconnects, tons of bugs are doing their best to get me to quit and stick to SP.

Grind.
When I eventually max out or my patience for this pathetic game runs out, I can't wait to get back to ME3. There is nothing to keep me here but max manifest OCD before I forever shelve this.

Nothing - I am done with this abomination. Which is a epic disappointment. When I was waiting for MEA i preordered super deluxe edition. I was not putting too much expectations into singleplayer actually. But was confident considering MP - with ME3MP being such a cool game, what can possibly go wrong? Well, it is her impossible to tell how wrong I was!
I am a fan of ME series and had 3000+ hours in ME3MP. And I can not force to take this failure any more. It is simply no fun. If I want to play 3rd person shooter, The Division is incomparably more fun. Here I see the same problem as in ME3 ending - the developers stubbornly refuse to give people what they want, writing the game for them self. Which is OK, but then they can eat their artistic integrity, because I am not buy their nonsense ever again.
By the way, if all the players would drop this nonsense for a month or two, returning to playing ME3MP, maybe then the bioware would here the message right. This actually would not even be a sacrifice on our side, since ME3MP is incomparably more fun.

Reading all of the responses in this thread has helped me narrow down what single issue is keeping me from enjoying the game more than any other. Everyone here knows that there are a lot of problems with this game, but above all it's the weakness of the abilities that is keeping me from enjoying this game as much as I enjoyed ME3MP and as much as I think I could enjoy this game. And it's more than just the ridiculously low damage most of them deal, I think the majority of them have longer base cooldown times than they should. In addition to making "pure caster" kinds of builds suboptimal at best and completely unviable at worst, it also just makes the majority of the kits feel too similar to me.
That's without even mentioning that most of the abilities are reused, both from previous games and on the majority of kits, and a lot of really unique abilities were abandoned at least for the time being. Gun diversity, #ShotgunLivesMatter, is also a serious issue as well for similar reasons.

I have been playing the new coop mode in Overwatch. I love co-op games and modes. How is it? I put about 100 hours into it, so I think that's more than a fair chance. I have no desire to play it any more in its current state, so I basically just log in, send my strike teams to go do stuff, then log out. You know about the APEX HQ phone app?

Just another thing that breaks the whole "new galaxy" premise.

I have been playing the new coop mode in Overwatch. I love co-op games and modes. How is it? It's cool the first time but I got bored of it after 3 hours of play. You can pick a predefined team setup game mode or choose your own hero. 4 difficulty modes, I never tried easy but hard is challenging enough that some pugs can fail. Expert and legendary difficulties however, are pretty much impossible without a full premade and well thought out strategy and a lot of effort, and luck. The pugs are just super extreme retard mode for PVE OW, compared to the premade I played with friends on the first day - when we actually knew nothing about this mode yet, we did a lot better than I ever did with the pugs a week after, which are either so bad at their play or have retarded picks, with whom I couldn't even get past the second encounter that's 5 minute in the game, a spot where I never failed with my friends, pug experience was just completely cancer inducing. It's a cool little thing they made for Overwatch (and it's really only good when played with friends that have brain), but don't let that fool you that this game has some kind of real PVE potential, it's just a sesonal fling event that you play for max 2-3 hours, that is all. And there are no tangible rewards or motivation for beating higher difficulties, or even to continue grinding it, unless you like sprays.

I'm actually splitting my playing time between ME3MP and MEAMP at the moment. If Andromeda friends are on, I'll play MEAMP with them. If ME3 friends are on, I'll play ME3MP. If none are on, I'm enjoying MEASP.

Gun diversity, #ShotgunLivesMatter, is also a serious issue as well for similar reasons. Exactly, I completely agree with your opinion. I never liked MEAMP at first, I thought it might get better. LOL how could I be so wrong, games do never get better, they only get less fun the more you play them. First time experience should have been the coolest, but even that felt really bad already, and I can't even express how much I hate this abomination when I played more of it. And yes, I still play it, and I did try some actual cool premade builds that are not focused on weapons but a full combo based team build, which was different and way more fun, a prefered way of how I like playing the game now, but that's something you could always do and make look cool in ME3, but here it takes a lot of effort and organisation to pull off something like that. It's just bad. And the more you play it the more you realize how bad it is compared to ME3. I'll keep playing for now due to sunk-cost fallacy with my super deluxe edition, but not for long after the boxes stop coming and I'm near maxing..

I have no idea why I'm still playing. I repeat the same process every single time: - Log in and collect strike team points for.... medi gels I guess? - Spend a few minutes idly scrolling through characters, sorted by rarity and now with extra empty spaces in between! - Sigh when I realize the decision boils down to "barrier class" or "gimped hipster build" - Join up with the usual group (can't PUG, and I was all about pugging in ME3) and do apexes then gold speed runs - Rack up frustrating experiences until I reach the boiling point (usually after 4-5 games) where I then stop playing and announce my permanent retirement - Sign on next day and repeat from step 1

And yes, it's the daily APEX crew that makes me login into the MP as well.. I'm fine with pugging tough..

I don't play against other players because the majority of them are assholes, and I have no tolerance for assholes. I prefer to play against the AI instead or now the PVE mode.

Similair here, but I hate playing with other players on my team, and they're even bigger assholes. The game is ok but the people playing it are the worst type of cancer.

I play because despite all the issues I have fun pugging silver and the occasional gold (Never played ME3 MP so I have no frame of reference). Powers may be weak but I'm a sucker for explosions (Torgue!).
That said I hope the balance patch hits this week because otherwise I'll move on after finishing my insanity run. I'll probably replay The Witcher 3 or DA:I and return to the Borderlands games for my shooty-bang multiplayer co-op fix.

I still play mostly because of trashcans, steak and the horrible community.
And occasionally fun apex missions with modifiers like +100% combo damage or no revive during waves.
