Bronze is the new Gold?!

I, too, for my part do remember very well how I started out in ME3MP on Bronze being convinced to try it out by two friends. Human soldier with a Valkyrie I (got that one in my free starter pack) - it was a slaughterhouse. I was down longer than I was shooting at the enemy, and damage-wise I sucked royally. 

Also, I was of the opinion that the jump from Bronze to Silver in ME3MP felt way harder than the eventual jump from Silver to Gold. Must've absolutely had something to do with being more experienced and having leveled-up weapons/powers, but killing armored enemies on Silver with a Tempest without any piercing whatsoever took ages - so I would imagine it to not be that much different now in ME:AMP. I played about 300 games mostly pugging exclusively on Bronze and Silver before I got the courage of trying out Gold for the first time...it seemed so much easier in comparison.

On a sidenote: Don't forget ME3MP also had a long way to go before everything could be unlocked and played, be it characters, weapons, mods or even maps and enemies. When I started pugging Bronze, there was almost no lobby filled with complete noobs such as me - it was not seldom to have a level 20 Jugg or such with the Reegar or BW there killing everything for you.

AND considering seemingly overly difficult factions in ME:AMP : Can you imagine what would've happened in ME3MP at the beginning if you would've jumped into a Condor Collectors game on Bronze with your Avenger I? Or having to cope with Dragoons and Geth Bombers buttrushing you from the very beginning? 

At the very least, I think we can assume that the devs will eventually step in and nerf enemies if they continue to be too hard. So let's just see and enjoy the game

Thank you for the starting tips! I think we need a thread for that in prep to the 21st.

i Do believe that if you wanna start on the right foot: Just go along wiith the human engineer. The turret agros alot of mobs substracting ennemy fire off of you. You're beast to remove shields to ennemies, in an AOE fashon. Well around character.

Donnot forget that if you care about your power cooldown time: You can clean one weapon slot by pressing "V" on pc. As an ability focused character you only need one good pistol. Paybe an assault rifle if you feel like it.

Exceptional, got it.

Hi Bekster.    :rage:

People usually just leave me there to bleed out tbh





Shhhh.. We don't speak of that...

Send them your picture before starting the game and they'll swarm to revive you...  

You can still play? Am I the only one who left the game on while doing other stuff, so the ten hours went by without me actually playing the game for that long?

Dont know what to say, but i think bronze is really easy, except for some players.
Have some game fighting back wave 5, 6 with objektives and 7 alone or max with 2 people without any great problems, Human Vanguard lvl8 with Disciple I.

We have to adapt to the new gamestyle, dont play it like ME3 except the enemy killing

It does get easier over time as you level up, I consistently clear bronze with half decent people with a level 18 Human Soldier. Only thing is at the moment, everyone is only playing bronze, I've cued for a while waiting on silver or Gold but no one comes in. Only so long I can wait as I don't want to waste my 10 hours, on my third trial now and will probably keep buying monthly ea passes for different accounts until MEA is released, just can't stop playing this great game. My best weapon is the M-8 Avenger level 7, I saved up for one of those 100000 Premium packs and did not get anything good as well lol

Yep, I have 3 accounts at the moment for x-box one. The first one I use to purchase all my games digitally so I paid by credit card for one month for ea access. I logged in with that one first then logged in with my main one and played for 10 hours. Next time I used my 3rd account to buy 1 month of ea access, logged in with that one first then switched to my main one. Last one I won 1 month free from watching Andromeda on twitch so I just used that one with my main account. All stats continue and carry over and my 10 hours start fresh each time, hope that makes sense.

So when I do it again I'll need to make another account pay for 1 month on that one, log in with that account first then switch over to my main etc. Hope that makes sense.
