For those of you stoners at bioware (I'm guessing all of you after this patch), what makes upload at least MANAGEABLE once you got used to it was that it promoted everyone to spread out doing the same with aggro.

Yeah, that shit doesn't fly when you give the mechanics of upload to hack. It's not exponentially harder than any other objective INCLUDING day one Gold Upload Kett.

Solution:

1) sober up.

2) just fucking take out the entire mechanic that punishes you for having enemies in the circle.

P.S. Save bosses for boss objectives, dipshits.

Yeah I was gonna ask where exactly all these requests were to actually make the hack harder? And what the fuck those idiots were smoking to request something so dumb? :why:

I thought it was Platinum exclusive. I just did a Silver Strike Mission for the Elite Pack, and W5 hack was a buttfuck, even on Silver.
What were they thinking??

It's especially funny when you have Dogs running into the circle nonstop. It's driving me nuts.
Do you really want the tactic of Hack to be: One Infiltrator camps the hack while the other ones lead mobs around, best without killing them?
Tough luck with pugs where they all camp the zone.

LOL. I know, right? When they mentioned it I was like "who the fuck even said hack was too easy and needed to be changed?" I though the complaints were only about upload, because you cannot upload at all if there's some random npc in the circle, but hack was fine the way it was.
I mean, you expect people to stay alive on that little circle while maybe one guy work his ass to try and lure the enemy the fuck away from his teammates so they get a breather, but this? gee...

RIP old BioWare - 1995-2016. I used to be a fan, now I'm just toxic.

It'll eventually filter down to the lower difficulties not to camp the Hack zone, until then, it'll be a very hit or miss goal.

Personally, not a fan of the change either. The complaint from what I've been seeing was the Upload was too difficult and why it couldn't be more like Hack. Now of course the Dev's have taken that request to the extreme, and made Hack like Upload. bleh.

Well if you get a bad hack location i imagine you will be F'd because that what happens when get a bad one or two multi hacks. It becomes impossible to fight off the enemies enough to keep them out.

"New strategies." These new strategies will consist of the same strategy for Kett/Gold pre any patch but ten fold: Avoid.

Kett/Gold was crap.

i thought the hack was the easiest objective before. they had to make it harder. but they did take it too far.

i couldnt even finish it with the angara cuz my teammates wouldnt leave the circle. taking the enemies with them.

What do you expect? Many here and on Reddit have been bitching about the game being too easy since launch and demanding harder enemies and harder difficulties.

Well, you bitched and they listened. Stop demanding things and then bitching when you get them.

So, is this just on platinum or all difficulties, also, as a quick side note, am I nuts or has the timer for the devices challenge been reduced over all?

On lower difficulties, we have successfully run strategies to do it in studio :-)

Soloing is not the primary focus of a co-op mode. As such, Platinum has been balanced with a team working together in mind.

Aloha Billy. I don't think anyone is really mad about this change within Bronze/Silver/Gold. I think most of feel like it's not that it's hard, it's that it's annoying and frustrating. And on Platinum, it appears almost insurmountable unless you coordinate specially to have a stealth class in the hack and the rest of the team out of it.

I suggest a minor tweak to compromise - the hack only stops if a CERTAIN AMOUNT of enemies is inside. That way the optimal play isn't to make 3/4ths of the team leave the circle.
