Rio box of shame, oh the memories. That was how to platinum starter pack.
I don't think we can cheese too much in Andromeda though. Spawns can't be controlled, AI spawns everywhere at the same time, even right at our backs. And remnant can cheese-clip through walls, plus jihad drones everywhere; so I'm calling that faction the lest popular to play against. Probably Kett will be the most doable? they have their fair amount of cheese, but they're the most balanced faction probably as of now.

I really wonder how Platinum is going to be. If they give us that 11-wave experiment again (waves 7-11 being tough as hell) even at 110k credits rewards, it is still better to play two Gold Matches. Platinum has to yield better credits/minute than Gold to be worth it.

Now if they can make 10/11 waves an option again that would be sweet. Nah, too long. We just had the 11 wave gold mission, and that felt like it dragged on after wave 6 because of the lack of difference from wave 5 to 7-9. It only added extra minutes with minimal gains from it. Main reason I didn't bother doing it, logged on and saw it was taking people 24-30 minutes on average and the payout was literally only 20% higher than what you get from a normal Gold mission. Honestly I would rather have 10 waves + extraction if the payouts are close to if not double Gold and have enemies be like 10-20% stronger than have 6 waves + extraction but 80% of every wave is nothing but bullet sponge bosses, sh** at that point is not challenging at all its tedious. On that same note however I hope that if they add a new consumable equipment that it is a +1 Skill Point so that we can max all skills finally, you would still need to purchase 20 of them per character but it would give us something else to do after maxing our manifest. Would also help power curve a little bit if Platinum is like launch day Gold difficulty.

The 11-wave Aqua Apex mission was fun because of the weak point modifier.

"Go for the eyes" is a terrible modifier though, the only one who benefits is the host, the clients have a guaranteed -50% damage and a maybe for the +200% weakpoint buff that will most certainly not work all the time, heck even on host it doesn't.

You're absolutely right. Everything we're drooling over on plat will be highly depending upon good connectivity. If that doesn't improve, the game will be tortuous.

In Me3 platinum is more difficult compared to gold due to two things. One is enemy composition, the other is wave budget. All values like hp, dmg, gates, etc. are the same in me3 for gold and platinum. For Mea I also consider 11 waves as an option. Three objective waves have strong influence on difficulty. More waves in general also due to restricted amount of consumables.

I am hoping the DEVS fail miserably during the stream tomorrow... Otherwise, it will be too easy. We need it to be very, very difficult!

If the new Platinum is the old platinum we will get synch killed by everything from all fractions all the time. Or just downed by some invisible/inaudibla grenade. Maybe the revive pack transmitter will actually be of some use now.

I think there's a decent chance we get a 'talking heads' episode similar to the one they did when The Great Patch (1.06) was released. That is, no gameplay, just Billy and Bastiaan (or whomever) sitting and explaining stuff.

Billy plays while also discussing the patch and answering questions. He is only about 50% attentive to the game. 2. They usually have a terribad group of pugs alongside during the stream. I think they want to fail the higher difficulties.

I wonder what this means... Something new being offered for mission funds? Maybe it is equipment that has previously been for sale, allowing people who missed them to catch what they missed. I'm ready for the new challenge

Hightly doubt that a plat match gives us 100k creds. These are the same people who decided the credit payout for an 11 wave gold match is less efficient than an apex gold mission or even a normal gold mission. Im predicting 85-95k per match which would mean some apex missions would push it over to 100k, making them more popular

Billy fires back on reddit I have my complaints about Bioware and the way they've handled MEA, but at least Billy has a sense of humor. Now that Bastiaan guy, I dunno. He plays a gnome in D&D and that is grounds for execution in the empire.

I should be excited I suppose. But I kinda stopped playing about a week ago and I just have no interest at the moment to pick up MEA again at least for a while.

I don't think I could bite my tongue like they do...
