Explains why one game feels like a cakewalk and the next one like "wtf - what just happened?". Did Bioware figure this out themselves or did they learn about it on reddit/uBSN? Will this be patched with the next patch or do we have to wait for another 5-6 weeks until it's fixed? if they didn't know before .. it is highly likely that they do know now.. Remains to be seen what they're gonna do about it (and how do go about doing it - stealth fix .. NEVER HAPPENED or they acknowledge the mishap ).. Out of curiosity, has anyone contacted a dev to make them aware, or are we just hoping they're reading the threads here or on reddit?

I tweetered them early Sunday, no response. they could be trying to enjoy the weekend, we'll see on Monday. I'll probably ping again now that we know enemy behavior is tied to it as well.

Will it be considered a bannable offense / exploit if someone is hosting gold games while SP difficulty is set to narrative? Should I report any hosts that feel fishy?

Dirtiest fix I could think of. 1.06 patch notes " Game sets you SP difficulty to insanity without asking before hosting a gold MP game . "

I could imagine that this has something to do with being able to start Apex Missions in MP directly from the Terminal on the Tempest if you want to do it yourself. Imagine someone playing SP on Narrative because he/she is a Roleplayer and has little experience with shooters getting thrown into a much more difficult MP match - they wouldn't get much enjoyment out of it. That maybe would explain some of those weird things. Hopefully they get it sorted out, this is ridiculous.
I'm leaving my SP difficulty setting on Hardcore for now, feels somehow appropriate in MP.

It is ridiculous indeed, but that could be an explanation for why this bug is there in the first place. I'm leaving it at hardcore too for the time being since I'm not done with single player yet, but I might change it if this is not fixed in the patch.

Truly pathetic - I'm laughing so hard! This, my friends, is what it takes to get hired by one of the very big gaming companies with a huge budget. I would have guessed they used professionals - my bad. I really think whoever is " the boss" in BioWare, should take a long look in the mirror and ask: "Am I really suited to this?". If actually yes, without lying to yourself, commence the great purging - no backpadding, only sheer who-can-actually-do-his/hers/its-job, and just give those god damn facerolling-ma-keyboard-coder/designer plebs the boot, ASAP. There's so many people in the world with the more-than-sufficient skills, and drive, necessary to fill those positions, so git gud. :poop: Better yet, hire me. I can find enough spare time to clean up their company too, for a measly 100$/hour. It will save them from (further) public humiliation! :amirite:

I never did.. since I don`t usually host but I might as well.
I found it weird that different gold games deal different combo damage.
Sometimes I found my combo take off more than 20% of enemy health... but sometimes they literally tickled enemy like less than 10%.. I thought I was imagining things or some other buff was in effect...

You beat me to it I mentioned this in another post, but hadn't seen this one yet. This makes me feel like this isn't a bug, but an actual design choice (not to be confused with the popular "working as intended"). For someone playing Narrative in SP, even a bronze match could be quite challenging, and that's assuming they see the color levels and don't just jump straight into a gold match. Or assume they can handle the gold matches once their SP character is high enough level (there is a load screen that says its best for level 18+ ) And I agree with you, I'm not changing my SP difficulty to take advantage of this. Only scrubs need to use narrative SP to extract in gold

What I felt might have less to do with difficulty setting like you said. It could be various different factors. Debuff , character I was playing... etc etc. I just am in state of denial... that we were even slightly affected by SP difficulty.

I'm worrying if lock on, attack iterations, and damage are scaling as well with SP difficulty setting? Probably makes sense that it would as well. That may not be noticeable with one enemy but 12 lolololololololololol.

I suspect not, since we can pretty much tell that we get blasted on Gold much more than on Bronze

Knowing what was actually going on inside Bioware during the 5 year development cycle would be fascinating. I really want to like this game, I want it to succeed and continue into the future, but just one thing after the another makes you question how long it will be before they get things to an acceptable level of quality.
