Hey look, badass players go with +200 bonus damage modifiers and then pride themselves and say platinum is like a walk in the park. If you wanna play fair, don't be a cheap whore and play with bonus damage match modifiers. PLAY WITH NO SKIRMISHES Or if you go with match modifiers... DON'T FUCKING SAY IT'S EASY /rant Aside from Hack objectives which are almost uncompletable with uncoordinated PUGs, I've full extracted from all my PUG matches on regular outings too. Looks like you need to media.tenor.com/images/7e74226a6f23782bc2449cb2e7967ece/tenor.gif

I guess most of you play with match modifiers. That explains your recent successes. Have anyone tried playing with Asari adept? She does more damage thanks to Veteran bonus, but can she even take a bullet without dying? She's like amaaaazing as a damage dealer but you have to be careful. I went down a few times and it was mostly because we played vs Remnant (I think?). There were too many Destroyers and if one decides to target you, you'd better hide in a hidey hole cause you go down immediately. One time I died, my teammate revived me and before I could even regain control of my character I died again as I was still in the line of fire of the destroyers. She's definitely Plat viable. Wouldn't say the same about the Kroguard though. I wanted to play him as a melee tank as I do in Gold, that didn't work out for me so well (our only wipe for the night ). I mean, sure, the Kroguard and every other character is Plat viable speaking broadly but you know what I mean! You're supposed to feel more tanky as a Krogan.

If you wanna play fair, don't be a cheap whore and play with bonus damage match modifiers. PLAY WITH NO SKIRMISHES Or if you go with match modifiers... DON'T FUCKING SAY IT'S EASY /rant Why so hostile? We're talking first impressions here. Here's mine: You'll need a somewhat competent and coordinated team, some stealth characters, preferably at lvl XX, which can be done for common characters in one or two hours. Grab some soldiers and Infiltrators and here we go. I did a few games with friends (all of us far from being badass players) and finished in 21 to 23 minutes. So far coordination between team members seems key, objectives can get a pain the ****, but platinum seems to be the right challenge, if you extract with zero cobras, two medigels and one ops pack left. It's neither easy nor impossible, just feels right.

I like the new enemy types- running away from a Blaze Hydra as it stomps towards you is fun, lol. But I hate that every match has Observers. The purple ones are the most annoying fucking pieces of shit in the game. Worse than 4 dogs.
Anyone seen a Fiend yet? Or an upgraded Fiend? No appearances in any of my games so far.

Out of curiosity, any one use a sniper kit with ease? Platinum is a fast pace setup and I'd imagine trying to line up a snipe shot would be difficult.

No problems, enemies aren't any faster than before. ROF is key now since almost nothing can be one-shot. Shadow and Vanquisher still da kings.

Seen lots of Fiends in my Kett games but not sure if I saw an upgraded one. They were basically giant annoying bullet sponges (moreso than usual as it's Plat ofc).

Since I finished all weapon challenges that's all I've used paired with Rozerad VIII. It was handy when shadow overheated and had to fight off the swarm. Should've been specific. I meant bolt action snipers. Those would be painful.

Yup, completed the new APEX (Empty Resupply) in 19 minutes. And I was on a grenade class, so that was not fun.

I have tried and failed on the go-for-the-eyes platinum maybe four or five times.
Hack and/or boss waves with progenitor targets tend to be the bane of the groups I have been in. (Some have managed to take out that boss only to fail on a later hack.)
The intermittent nature of off-host weakpoint targeting is, of course, part of this.

Played Apex with Xan and Nussi and a good PUG. Failed hack on W4 first time, bad strategery on our part. Got through the 2nd in around 18 minutes or so. Thought it was challenging, but fair. New enemies were refreshing. Not a big fan of the Observer spamming Destroyer. I guess my only real concern is that you need a TC/SG kit or 2 on your team now for the hacks. But, not a big deal, especially with all the other goodies that got dropped in our laps today.

Empty resupply Wasted all my Revives, Cobras and First aids; barely extracted with with less than 10% life left. It took 30 min. In round five everybody died, I had to run across the map with a Progenitor and hoards of Observers and other mobs sprinting after me.
