The game is slowing down. Platinum will be needed soon.

After a few days, the game has slowed down significantly from the early access.  It's rare for me to not extract.  On gold, I've only failed to extract on my first gold match.  I'm sure the game is slowing down for everyone else too.  There's enough content to keep us busy for another 2-3 months to play with power sets, but there's going to be a need for greater difficulty soon.  Although, it's slowing down, the jetpack and ease of power detonation over ME3 is keeping the game very enjoyable for me.  A level 1 UR like the Hurricane is easily more than enough so there's no craving for grind sessions to buy packs.  Some of the rare guns are really amazing too.  The Equalizer and Vanquisher are poor man's Hurricane and Isharay but they are completely fun and competent for all difficulty levels.
