New Aqua Gold Mission is Up

At last.
Giving more server bandwidth to me.

On a more serious note, I have played with a couple of people that have extracted from this mission three times but still do not have credit for having finished it. They were both kicked out and re-joined the first time they finished the mission, the same one JRandall0308 and I finished and got credit for.

Finally!

Made it on my 10th attempt.



Never again.

^^ That sounds familiar.

I tried it once with pugs - party wipe on Wave 6. Go for the Eyes is my least favorite mission modifier, because it tends to mean -50% weapon damage for everyone but the host. 800% ammo is the norm for the No Resupply missions that are 7 waves long; BioWare adds 4 waves but does not adjust that accordingly. So - your ammo is doing half damage and is limited on a longer mission with tougher enemies.

Plus, the usual invisible enemies only now in dark spaces.

After my first attempt, I sent an apex team.

8/10 for Pugs. Is the freezing only on console? Because its been fine for me all games and I'm on pc. Credits aren't really the sell but it does speed up the hunt for level 6 bonus stats. 500k xp for 24-25mins makes it go much faster.

Highlights:
My best snap freeze with the engineer took out an ascendant, a fiend, an annointed, and a chosen.

Today I joined one pug with a hacker who gave us no cooldowns and all one shot kills. Host still managed to die a few times but their assault turret wrecked.

Haven't played MEA in a few weeks but decided to give it another try since there was a new mission with extra waves. Well, one person left (or got kicked) at wave 4 and then my game crashed/ froze around wave 6 or 7. Needless to say I did not attempt to play again, it shouldn't take this much effort to play a game.

Then wait 4s for the ammo to refill...

Or use a gun that doesn't overheat on console.

Or just don't get the reload penalty from making it overheat.  Hey, that was easy.

Did this to avoid having to do bronze for map mastery. In this mission the host always outscores second place with x2. Bloody headshot bug is a thing...

Another observation is that camping is way more efficient than run-and-gun playstyle. Tsol ftw.

Aiming is always easier on pc. The shadow works fine but if you have to start sweeping around enemies t find the head shot off host you are going to be losing time...if you can manage the ammo and aim it is a god tier weapon.
