Priority #1 of the 1.09 Patch-tastrophy: Change HACK the FUCK back to the way it was.

Well, this isn't going to bring me back anytime soon.

Well after about 3 matches last night, objectives are WAY tougher on gold than they were before. (Average pug team, not LEET bsn players or team of friends)

Easiest change to the hack.... don't STOP the timer when enemies enter it, slow it down per enemy that enters.

1 enemy in the hack - slows down 10%
2 enemies in the hack - slows down by 20%
3 enemies - 30%......... you get the point.

The hack goes faster with more teammates in the circle. So just reverse the logic, the hack will go slower the more enemies are in the circle. That way progress is still made, the Bulwark guns do their job (as opposed to 1 player being invisible with everyone pulling aggro away), and progress can continue to be made up to 10 enemies in the circle.

The Icebreaker Apex mission last night had a wave 2 hack, and that was a complete disaster. Focus all firepower on a Destroyer, only for an adhi to run behind him into the hack.... or an observer to fly in..... or breacher to creep into it.

Agreed. The irony is that what made me stop playing ME3MP was when they dumped all the N7 weapons into the pool without ever having enough weekend events to max them (it showed that they didn't have a plan in place to support the content).

This (1.09) is far, far worse and just demonstrates their commitment to recycling the same content over and over again. I mean in the 3 months since launch, how much 'new' content do we actually have?

I'm not only done with Andromeda, I'm done with Bioware. I'll let the reviews tell me when they are back to their former glory because right now they have been destroyed by EA.

It`s just bad idea to start with when we have constantly spawning and charging dogs anyway.... 

REALLY BAD IDEA. 

I don't think they even play tested the hack on Platinum, which makes me further question their balancing decisions. With elite and boss enemies spawned way too much, and the punishing amount of time wasted simply by having one enemy in the circle is them trying way too hard to make this multiplayer more challenging than ME3, but done in no regard to real balance. I don't understand stand Why a fucking ADHI of all things should d interrupt a hack at all, not every enemy and their mother is equipped with jammers .
There should be at least no more interrupts possible with hacks and for Boss enemies to ONLY SPAWN in boss waves(dealing with Progenitors this much is retarded as fighting just one in the first place). BioWare Montreal needs to not confuse handicaps for challenging gameplay. If you manage to hold the line long enough with good team combos, tactics and sheer willpower, you should deserve to survive a Plat hack wave(or any objective) without the agonizing, soul-crushing bullshit.

I said my piece, may they rectify this soon. Shepard save us all.

If weapon mods are cards then boosters are cards and equipment is cards and challenges are cards.

Either way, you got the numbers wrong.

There are now two different classes of cards:

Cards you can get in packs.

Cards you can ONLY get with Mission Funds. So far: the weirdo weapon mods.

Depending upon what you want to measure you need to count differently.

To measure amount of 'new' content you need to count both.

To measure how fucked we are by the loot grind you need to count them separately.

↑↑↑This, just wiped a Wave 6 Hack Platinum, its literally impossible. Enemies agro even to cloaked team mates and everything has so much f***ing health and spawns so close once finally killed that there is literally no time to Hack. We got the bar about a tenth of the way with 2 Infiltrators taking turns trying to sit on the objective, while me and my other friend were sitting off almost 100m from the Hack trying to hold our ground and argo everything we could.

Wave 6 Hack has turned into "ok guys guess were only getting 70K this game"

Hack Wave 6 might as well put the controller down, f*** RNG when it comes to objectives....

How much did I take?

Are we talking food, water, or your imaginary friend?
