As you probably already have noticed, there were some changes to the Hack and Upload objectives.
When you stand in the Hack-/Uploadcircle with at least one other person, the hack-/uploadspeed DOUBLES, which makes these objectives a lot easier (you can now complete hack within one minute on platinum with two people inside the circle), and having a stealth character is less of a requirement.
Ofcourse you still need to keep the enemy out of the circle, but they don't appear to camp there as much as they used to, but that last part could just have been my imagination.EDIT: That was indeed my imagination...
Could it be that there were more serverside changes? Like buffs/nerfs to weapons?

I got one shotted by some enemies that have never done that before. Might just be my imagination though.

Because things that should happen that follow some base line of intelligence often don't and we get several steps in the wrong direction for each one. Also, I like your avatar

The bottom line is that Hack and upload goes faster since last Thursday. Thanks! I believed the time was right to change it to a different brunette ☺

And MOST people seem to be getting the idea of not bringing the aggro to the hack. And I just meant I like the show she's in. Lol. Should probably go see if there's new episodes to watch while I pug. haha

One Tree Hill is finished since a long time ago.

I'm quite certain, that they slightly buffed the Kett. They are shredding everything and move like crazy. The Anointed's Soned revamp time feels a lot less, they'll take you down in a half a second.

It's possible they buffed the Kett accross all difficulties. I even managed to get down on Silver by their hand. I didn't even think it was possible to die on Silver because of my 1337 status! They were also the easiest faction on Platinum, so...

I've noticed this on my playthroughs of the 11w Nimbus mission. I thought it was just me, but maybe the Kett have been taking skating lessons from Raiders. I'm sure BW have heard people complain about how much faster Outlaw move compared with Kett, so it's just part of their monkey's paw algorithm for all balance changes.

I think something was wrong with that mission this weekend. Even as host, I was seeing incredibly laggy effects especially when they put 2 fiends and 2 ascendants on the map at the same time at the end of the round. It's almost like, the game REALLY had to think hard about 3 modifiers. Slow down gun speed, and give no ammo in return! Plus add in a bunch of boss level enemies like a platinum game. I played a normal Nimbus/Kett match (forgot to reset the mission modifiers) and it was nowhere near as bad on a normal gold match.

I mean it only makes sense for Bioware to increase kett's movement speed as well, to shut our mouths lol, instead of nerfing outlaw movement speed. Soon, observers will be able to shoot while doing a ziczac movement. :ulikeit:

Let's hope they don't then turn around and say "oh now the remnant are too slow"
They'd fuck it up by allowing observers to teleport through walls at lightning speeds all while already shooting at you before they come round the corner. Oh wait...

Well, companies do that all the time nowadays. I went through college to learn about customer service and all that stuff, but when you start working in the real world. Then you know most companies don't care about how things are working out when company politics and profits are involved. All these talks or ideals and "who we are" on their front page is just for show. Or sometimes you got corporate that is trying hard to really do the right thing, but messages and policy got lost in translation. It just seems to me that EA was planning to sack Bioware Montreal and they already merged the office into EA motives if I am not wrong. Sadly, us Mass Effect fans were caught in this madness and got an inferior game and services from Bioware/EA.

I randomly PUG'd into a U.K. host several months ago. (I know this because I ended up in a game with ctc91 .) I have speculated that people being on your friends list will allow you to bypass region-lock. Or maybe sometimes the region-lock just doesn't actually lock you.
