I have the exact opposite experience with the colossus. Died within a minute. No shields. Moves super slow. It's special abilities take too long to aim/charge. In the meantime half my health is gone. Since weapons do so little damage I didn't know how to really deal damage.
It was an absolute shit experience to me. This big boy is a glass cannon.
Now the ranger is tanky! Still like it the best. Interceptor was easiest for me. Just spam melee and everything dies before it has time to shoot you. So the Interceptor is also the most boring.
I've given up on the game though. No seamless drop in and out of a friend's lobby and no private freeplay is a big no no to me. Plus all the loading screens to do ANYTHING. Way too much work to get to the repetitive shooting. No thanks.

I didn't had any problem playing on freeplay. I was flying around until there was 30min for the servers shut down when i decided to go to sleep. Also it seems a lot easier to get XP during freeplay than doing quests. Haven't saw any other player but a message to revive someone did pop up on my screen when i was flying. Ranger is still my favorite with his homing missiles skills, no need to get close to obliterate most enemies with one or a few attacks. ps: Was I undergeared or that scar boss, the "Destroyer" like thing, was really hard to defeat? Had to spend several minutes do put down the one that i found both during a quest for Mathias and during freeplay. Both while playing alone.

For what it's worth, sharing my Colossus, Storm and redone Interceptor paint jobs... This is my Interceptor with a purchased vinyl, boyfriend's colossus is looking fine too. I put the white vinyl on the Colossus too, forgot the name: Close-up of my Interceptor without the vinyl: My Storm looks a bit shit, haha: The javelins are the best looking aspect of the game. The jungle looks plain ugly to me at times. Bleached out Bethesda level of bad.

Well...I gotta say. In the words of Urdnot Wrex. "Better than I feared, worse than I hoped."
I do not think this is a game i will be playing. The dialogue is absolutely lifeless and monotone, and combat is an absolute chore, taking WAY too damn long to kill fucking anything but the most basic of enemies. The guns deal almost no damage and you yourself just get lit up like a christmas tree. i have to exactly mimic Kappa Neko's experience.
"I have the exact opposite experience with the colossus. Died within a minute. No shields. Moves super slow. It's special abilities take too long to aim/charge. In the meantime half my health is gone. Since weapons do so little damage I didn't know how to really deal damage.
It was an absolute shit experience to me. This big boy is a glass cannon."
That is exactly how my experience with that Suit went, was an utter disaster. The only way I survived longer than like 20 seconds was just running around with the Shield raised, and you can't attack with it up. The Ranger performed much better, and was much better at taking damage and much better at dealing damage because the abilities don't take 5 years to charge or aim.
The enemies simply have too much health, it's absolutely ridiculous how long I was shooting most of the enemies. And the giant mech boss in the mission to rescue the Archanist was the absolute worst. The damn thing ate like 5 Ultimates, countless grenades and bullets before wiping the party. Only to do the same thing 3 more times before finally killing it after like 10 to 15 minutes of just shooting it over and over and over. I get that it's a boss creature, but if your design plan for Boss enemies is as basic as "Just give it 13536213874298459 HP and make it 3 shot players. Thats good enough" Then imo you need to rethink what makes a Boss enemy enjoyable.
Then, the very first mission, where you recover that artifact, it gives you the stupid color code puzzle, then proceeds to give absolutely zero explanation of wtf you are suppose to do to solve it. THe party just ran around randomly selecting colors for like 10 minutes until something worked.
Honestly, if this is truly indicitive of the final product, and given how close to launch it is, I'm sure it is. Then imo this game is the definition of bordem. All the missions felt exactly the same. Fly to locations, kill enemies until something happens, rinse and repeat. Fort Tarsis was also anything but a reprieve from the tediousness eaither. With it's boring, lifeless NPCs and their mostly uninteresting "Small Talk" conversations. The game is meh, it is utterly boring. Literally the only aspect of this demo that brought me any joy at all was the ability to fly around.
I feared a total disaster. It is not. I hoped for a fun, engaging game. I didn't find one. It's like Andromeda all over again, a boring, repetative blob of meh.

Had to spend several minutes do put down the one that i found both during a quest for Mathias and during freeplay. Both while playing alone. Depends on the difficulty playing, Javelin build and loadout, and whether you're soloing it or not. When I tried to solo it on hard it took along time and eventually another player came in to help finish it off. When me and my son tag-teamed it we completely wrecked it in under 5. It repairs itself so you have to keep pressure...probably has a weak point on its backside but I don't specifically know what it is.

No it was already stated that this is a problem stricktly bound to the demo. Never had this problem the previous week end. That would be good, but they have a lot more things to fix and it's likely we'll see some new bugs with the final version too I play on PC and besides crashes I also started ops with headless character that also didn't have any equipped weapons or skills (5 times so far), had issues with insanely shaking camera while shooting, huge fps drops even though the game looks worse than MEA or DAI, enemies dying animations don't trigger, some sounds go silet etc. They also need to rebalace most of available weapons, skills, enemies hp and fix swimming/flying controls (at least on PC). It's still quite fun for me, but it's a beta. Fixing that will take a lot of time.

ps: Mathias last cutscene froze on me. Had to hit ESC to complete the last quest .

Yeah, the game is built around combo synergies. If you build your javelin "right" you can achieve wonders. If you don't every enemy will be a "bullet sponge". Even so soloing on hard have been time consuming so far, grouping is much more fun. Imho.

I just completed the Swarm Tyrant stronghold with the help of Correctamunda and Saandrig. It was alotta fun, but I was foolish to choose the Colossus. It hits really hard, but it was SOOO SLOW and heavy feeling. very difficulty to control, and I was out of ammo more than half the mission. Downed and needed rescuing at least 4x. Much prefer the Ranger and Interceptor. THough it was fun to try out the Colossus, I wouldn't regularly play with it.
I would like to try the Storm next, so I will be back on in about an hour. Got some things to do.
