For the past week like 4 out of 7 missions have been "No Revives During the wave."

And aakko as we played.. fuck that. One can die from another side of the map easily by an observer laser, without seeing it at all. Platinum is okay but NOT ONE LIFE TO LIVE with it!

Another plus thingy would be that one of the Dailies is Combat Mastery. So, if you do the Platz mission with your Avenger, you're swatting two flies in one blow...

I figure OLtL is good for those guys who solo platinum in 15 minutes and complain it's too easy. But I do enjoy OLtL on gold though... it makes feel kinda like platinum without having to fight only armor.

I am way too scrubby for one life to live Platinum. I'd prefer to see this ousted altogether... π

Why can't we send Strike Teams on these missions? I don't think I've ever read a reason why they omitted this.

The problem I have with the modifier is it really shows how stealth and enemy targeting have an issue. Enemies firing at your last known location or moving to it makes sense. Them acquiring your target immediately out of stealth (especially on windup powers like Hydra Missiles and Destroyer Core blasts) does not make sense. Hydra missiles continuing to track you when you've stealthed with the missiles in flight and dodged from your last position does not.
You want to see something really bad? Be the last one alive when there's a Destroyer around. Watch how they don't necessarily hit your character with their guns, but they will track your position and continue firing in the general direction of you as you move in stealth. I get that the enemies are not intended to wander and look for you; that they always know where you are so they can pursue when your stealth falls. But this is just unrealistic.

Although I don't want every Platinum APEX mission to be One Life to Life, I do enjoy the challenge of trying to make it through all seven waves without dying. These matches are stressful; my finger is always ready to press the Ops pack button at any time (though it won't help with the fast locking Blaze Hydra missiles, double Ascendant balls, or twin Destroyers' double turrets).
I'll admit that I run the Angara Avenger on these missions. Unless I am running with a well-coordinated team, I don't think I could survive every wave without dying with a non-cloak/stealth grid character.
When it comes time to extraction, I just cloak and hide for the two minutes. No use dying trying to eek out a few more medals and points.
What I'm wondering if is Bioware is going to run an APEX Platinum mission with the following modifiers:
- Wounded team (-50% shields and health) - No resupply (ammo/grenade boxes don't regenerate over time) - One life to live - Jammed weapons (-25% weapon damage and -25% magazine clip size)
Now that would be a hard Platinum mission to get through!

Pariahs will also turn to face you even when you're stealthed. Pointed out by paunchycyclops

Pariahs will also turn to face you even when you're stealthed. Pointed out by paunchycyclops It smacks of efficient (while also lazy) balancing. They throw out enemy accuracy, target acquisition and any sort of search behavior so that they can just turn damage up and down.

Use the Shadow on Jammed Weapons and you hardly even notice a difference.
