As posted in the other thread: Well that was fast. Congrats on the solo! you may now proceed with trash talking LOL! If you have leet aim, which I do not, you can probably do this under 30 minutes with the kishock and bunching techniques with made spam... I definitely do not as I am 100% non-sniper. Rozerad IX is best thing I have...no Kishock at all yet. I do have Black Widow Concussive I. I am pretty slow and cautious when I attempt solos. I'm an older dude (47) so reflexes aren't as sharp as they used to be! (especially if I have eaten my special brownies)...

No we can't agree. Soloing plat is easy as shit with an angara avenger. I just did it 8 minutes quicker than sparky using stealth and nade spam on the same map. I'll post the video in a few hours when it. This was my 4th attempt because the other three I got screwed by objectives (one in wave 6!). Difficulty is a very subjective thing. From your point of view it might be easy. For most others outside it is not. For you it's easier, because: 1. You practised much more than the average player, this includes controlling your kit on the one side as well as knowing the game mechanics on the other side 2. You have better numbers than the average player. It's a huge advantage to use a rank XX kit with a rank X UR weapon and best available mods, equipment and booster. 3. Still some skill is needed, but more practise can supersede it. So in sum you are right, nearly everybody can do it. But you forget to mention that there are some requirements, especially a lot of time invested. Just for curiosity, how much hours did you put in MEAMP so far?

You've got motherfuckers that have no-lifed the game since release, and pretty much have the best everything talking about "soloing platinum is easy". Fuck outta here.

Yeah I mean I can solo Gold, pretty confident that I'll get Plat done at some point, but to call it "easy" is ridiculous.

It would be nice if the reward was better for solo instead of getting less credits and XP. I'm sure I'll get one in sometime as well. it just takes so damn long and then you get screwed by objectives. This fucking game has a hold on me though. I've been blowing off friends and family on a regular basis. Oh well, RNG gambling will end soon as NFL approaches, DFS (FanDuel & DraftKings) will take over.

"Just requires good objectives." which requires even more patience... play, kick ass, bad objectives, wipe... play, kick ass, bad objectives, wipe... play, kick ass, bad objectives, wipe... play, kick ass, good objectives, wipe from being tired of playing so carefully so long... If it's so easy, where is your platinum solo vid? PS: (I am not knocking your gameplay as we know you are a great player, but if you trivialize something, you need to back it up)
Can we agree that no solo is easy and requires a certain level of skill, knowledge and attention? I mean - even on bronze you are killed with the strongest character out there if running around brainlessly thinking no cover is required! It's not a matter of minutes but of seconds.
Ask ANY new player starting with bronze and they will tell you how hard the beginning and hence learning curve is. It was the same for us. The increases in difficulty from level to level are significant and only cause some of us have invested hundreds! of hours to master the game doesn't mean the game itself became easy now.
It's the combination of experience, long practice and an advanced manifest which let "appear" the gaming more easy now than in the beginning along with having had some significant buffs. But still it's not really easy. A little bit of inattention, one or two mistakes and each game can turn into a nightmare - in seconds! Still!
It still takes a decent cooperating team to run home each game, even more on gold and platinum. Soloing it is the highest challenge out there currently cause you can't really allow for mistakes which with a team backing you up in many cases can be straightened out. Alone you are alone.
Even the best players know that. Pretending everything is easy-peasy, a no-brainer whatsoever is (imho) both trying fishing for compliments by trivializing a very challenging task and also trying to make look everybody else like a helpless idiot/absolute noob only cause they/we are not as capable finishing the task. Self-display in a very mean and obvious manner.
Maybe it's only the difference of the 0.1% best of the best compared to the broader average joe-player like me and many others here but even a Usain Bolt has the decency to NOT TELL every normal sports man how easy it is/was to break another 100m world record and that basically everybody could do it! A Usain knows things like that and possesses the pudency to not exhibit his superiority at every opportunity.
Well yeah obviously it's not easy for everyone. When I called it easy I was speaking for myself. It just wasn't really a challenge to me personally. And I don't say that it's easy to appear superior or fish for praise or anything. I'm just being honest, I'm not going to lie and say it was hard when it wasn't. By saying it was easy I was trying to downplay this solo if anything.

Wouldn't call it easy with any other character. That character is OP and I'm not impressed by platinum solos with it, my own included. If someone ever solos platinum with non-stealth I'll bow down and kiss their giant epeen.

Can't help but wonder why you created a new thread just to post the video, if you consider it so unimpressive. Did you recently suffer a grevious head injury, or do you just enjoy wasting others' time?

After trying it a lot today, it's fucking disheartening that with a non-stealth character, almost 80% of solo runs are just impossible, and you may not even find out until wave 6 (chance of getting at least one upload or hack objective).

I'm not sure platinum is even possible with the enemy AI for non stealth classes... You'd definitely need a high DPS ranged weapon and something can can restore shields. I actually think it would be hard with any infiltrator. You will need cloak at times when you don't have it and will have to play much more carefully. Guessing avenger and huntress are the two best solo options just due to cloak. The huntress will have trouble killing things though...I suppose a kishock and a paw and priming ammo could help but it would probably be a long game...It was difficult to solo gold on a lot of the characters before....I suppose vet bonuses make some of them stronger but its not like ME3...enemies here are a lot different....

I wouldn't say it's difficult to solo gold before even pre 1.06. Mook composition matters in soloing and gold provides so much basic mooks that all you need to worry about is positioning and TTK, which the Avenger and the Insurgent solve easily.

I have a problem with retreating on gold. I'm so used to tanking with everything I play I never move in time and waste my equipment doing stupid things. Still only got to wave 6 with the kinetics. finished a hack pre 1.09 and got snagged by an ascendant. I was pissed and haven't tried since.
