I'll be the first to tell you that the grind is the game but I highly doubt people truly ENJOY farming credits at a maximal rate over and over and over and over... Not playing this because the payout should be a little higher is neurotic. Bunch of whiny, entitled, alien romancers finding another reason to cry.

Not playing this because the payout should be a little higher is neurotic. Bunch of whiny, entitled, alien romancers finding another reason to cry. It's different when you do NOT have a maxed manifest and still only have a Hurricane II (lowest UR I have). You do want to continue to build the manifest efficiently. +25% payout is extremely low as it should have been +50% absolute minimum (+100% would have been ideal). I love the effort by Bioware, and it is a step in the right direction. It was just a very poor choice of payout. I understand it doesn't really matter to you as you are max, but most are not. I would be thinking the same as you IF my manifest was max already... Not whining, just criticizing one poor choice after such a great effort |

PUG'd it once last night.... took a good 5 minutes to find a room with players who looked like they could at least handled the mission. Took 41 minutes with the room I decided to play with.
Did 4/4 deliveries & devices, killed 3/4 targets including rocketing the damn Behemoth.
Never solo'd a wave entirely, but it felt like every round I was the only one alive reviving people. There was always someone getting sync killed waves 4-10.
Definitely needs friends to play with. Waves 7-9 just drag on, and it really shows Bioware made the right decision cutting waves down to 7 instead of 11. There was no variation in those waves. 2 fiends, 3 ascendants and tons of mooks. If they made those waves different, it would probably feel like 11 waves are worth playing.

The map is build in such a way that if you wonder around you find yourself surrounded and attacked from all sides. It's good to find a spot where you have your back covered.

Too lazy to read all the entries prior to this but gratz to everyone who completed it. I have played this twice. First time I PUG'd it just to see what was what and we did surprisingly well. No communication on the mic. It all went to shit on Wave 9 when I died/fell down onto the pipes below the LZ and the PUGs couldn't figure out how to get down there without jumping off the map.  (one of the PUGs left before I could screenshot the scoreboard)
Second attempt with paunchycyclops and two of his friends. * Salarian Operator (me) * Salarian Infiltrator (Paunchy) * Angara Avenger (Paunchy's friend #1) * Human Soldier (Paunchy's friend #2)
First few waves were routine, including a relatively easy Wave 3 Delivery thanks to two Infiltrators.
Then whichever PaunchyFriend was hosting lost connection and so did OtherPaunchyFriend. Fortunately it was a private game so we kept playing while waiting for them to return. We got to Wave 6 and I went super aggro on the Targets -- we were also lucky to get Anointed, Anointed, Anointed (instead of Ascendants) before we go the Behemoth.
The Behemoth took a lot of punishment but Paunchy and I took it down. Then I got synch killed (Fiend, I think?) leaving Paunchy to solo out the wave, which he did like a pro.
PaunchyFriends rejoined and we continued.
Waves 7, 8, 9 were just a slog with a lot of kiting. We ended up by the LZ several times which seems like a bad spot to me, but what do I know.
Wave 10 Devices, Paunchy cloaked and did the first 3 and then the 4th spawned about 10 meters from me so I did it, easy Gold 3 stars. There were only a few enemies left at this point - maybe they don't infinitely spawn like in ME3?
Wave 11 Extraction I managed to get Fiend synch'd about 20 seconds into the wave. LOL @ me.
 The Operator was great on this mission. I was getting Assist points even while dead and as you can see, I managed to kill-steal my way to top-scoring. Benoit from Bioware would be so proud. I might try this again just so I can extract even though objectively it's not worth it. |

And it really surprised me when I went back to do this mission again that with four people, we ran out of time trying to kill the Behemoth. Even nuking it didn't help. |

I also had the Shadow with SR Amp 3 which as we now know from peddroelm 's research gets hugely amplified by Go For the Eyes. HS the Behemoth and try to overcome its regen. But yeah, Invasion is strong. Like Dark Channel in ME3MP. Now if they would just give us 'Invasion Ammo' that stacked with Invasion the way Warp Ammo did with biotic effects. |

That, though, is exactly what I'm addressing. Measuring the worthiness of the mission based on the credit pay out. It seems a tad...ridiculous.Remember when we had the ME3MP weekend challenge where you had to score X amount of points using the Avenger on London? The Avenger, for pity's sake. On, fuck me sideways, London where everyone and their damn brother seemed to insist on a Gold/Collector. It was extraordinarily tedious, yet the community did it, had fun, kibitzed about it on the forum and never once complained about the credits involved. That's why the complaints about credits just seems so damned incongruous to me. People do care. Your opinion is irrelevant. It's not your place to tell others how to enjoy themselves. You enjoy it. Cool. Others do not. How the hell is this even a conversation? Nah, I'm not telling others what to think. That'd be presumptuous. It's not really a conversation. Just my curiosity and me thinking out loud...and maybe some rye whiskey was involved. Can make me a touch gregarious. |

That is what I like about the map. Holding the middle with four is the most fun. Shit comes at you from all sides. Its hectic and awesome. When I see parties of top 10 apexers on psn sitting in the LZ with black widow Xs behind barricades and I puke in my mouth a little... #trash |

(There is COMFEST going on this weekend with the 3Bs: Boobs, Beer, and Bud). My friends just won't grind it consistently as we take turns choosing maps/enemy/random whatever next person in line wants to play... I just think Bioware really missed an opportunity to create some positive buzz with such a cheap payout. They nailed it, and then shot themselves in the foot... |

I'll play it and enjoy it a few times a day, but then it's back to the grind. With better pay, we would play it exclusively most of the weekend. (There is COMFEST going on this weekend with the 3Bs: Boobs, Beer, and Bud). My friends just won't grind it consistently as we take turns choosing maps/enemy/random whatever next person in line wants to play... I just think Bioware really missed an opportunity to create some positive buzz with such a cheap payout. They nailed it, and then shot themselves in the foot... They can still fix it.. change 25% modifier to 100%... lol As it should be... |

Host dropped in the second or third wave, so the counter reset. I think it was around 25 minutes altogether. One of the missions yesterday night took us 54! minutes, no joke. Me constantly playing ambulance. But we extracted successfully. Just a l-i-t-t-l-e bit exhausting.
Wow you deserve a medal for it. A real medal. :gasp: |

The map is build in such a way that if you wonder around you find yourself surrounded and attacked from all sides. It's good to find a spot where you have your back covered. That is what I like about the map. Holding the middle with four is the most fun. Shit comes at you from all sides. Its hectic and awesome. When I see parties of top 10 apexers on psn sitting in the LZ with black widow Xs behind barricades and I puke in my mouth a little... #trash Yeah, I'm generally vehemently anti-camping, but I'll admit I had fun in my first run with PUGs pulling their asses out of a bad camping situation. One kept running off and dying, other two were camping the LZ (and dying..). In one of the later waves, after the wanderer had been synced or stomped, I went over to the LZ while the others were down, revived both, then held it with them for the remaining half-wave. Barely even felt any shame. |

Wow you deserve a medal for it. A real medal. :gasp: Not sure. Cause it was our own fault and a little bit devil-may-care. Running with my default team where one decided to level up his lvl 11 human infiltrator and the other one choosing her lvl 17 turian soldier which should have worked. I said "are you sure" but they were convinced we wouldn't run into any problems (they tried first time, I already had completed one run). We carried a lvl 7 turian agent pug who went down quite often and unfortunately wasn't part of our party chat hence we couldn't tell him what to do next and when or where to hide.
Bottom line it just took a little bit longer than anticipated.

That, though, is exactly what I'm addressing. Measuring the worthiness of the mission based on the credit pay out. It seems a tad...ridiculous. Remember when we had the ME3MP weekend challenge where you had to score X amount of points using the Avenger on London? The Avenger, for pity's sake. On, fuck me sideways, London where everyone and their damn brother seemed to insist on a Gold/Collector. It was extraordinarily tedious, yet the community did it, had fun, kibitzed about it on the forum and never once complained about the credits involved. That's why the complaints about credits just seems so damned incongruous to me. The payout was an Ultra Rare. For an UR I'll Shuriken my way through Platinum with a Volus Adept. Oh, that's right! I forgot about that. Hah! You're right, I would have, too. |
