With the Apex App not working half the time, along with playing MP, and the lagginess that comes along with it, combined with only a few loadouts being actually fun to play, I find myself already playing less and less.
Anyone feeling the drain of MP?
With so many options available, it's terrible that only 3 weapons, and 2 kits are used.
BioWare needs to implement more user end customized character creation.
Character, power tree, and weapons that actually work before they hit X.

You don't have to ONLY play MEAMP. There are other games out there. I still play Magic Duels about 25% of my game time, MEA the other 75%. I even finished Eos last night in the SP game.
Don't burn yourself out. Give them time to balance it. MEAMP is gonna be a marathon grind, with several DLCs. When it stops being fun, take a break. It'll still be there when you come back. Check in here on your phone when taking a dump or whatever to see if there's anything to buy with mission funds, so you don't miss anything.. and cue up your strike teams.

I echo Megabeast37215. I play different games. I jumped back on Diablo 3 since they started a new season. Nice diversion. Then I come back to MEA. I haven't started the SP on MEA yet so I have that to do as well.

I was taking each kit to 20 before switching to a new one and mostly farming gold. Was burning out. I almost stopped entirely.
Now I switch kits at 10 and play mostly random random silver. Much more fun. That being said, most kits' playstyle are remarkably similar. Basically Im a fist and a vanquisher with cosmetic differences. 😣

Yeah...only they didn't need a beta because it was properly tested and balanced. It's not that it's 2 weeks old. When you release a game for $60 then the game should be complete. If you want to add stuff later then ok, but don't sit there and tell people its tested into oblivion and then release this. Fun Fact: Balancing a game is part of developing/completing it. It's also just co op. It's not ok to charge paying customers to test your games for you...its a developers job. |

Yep I'm definitely feeling that, I'm right there with you. I've had enough of it, at this point I'm just forcing myself to carry on playing. I'm not enjoying it at all. I'm playing less and less now, and every moment I'm playing, I'm full of bitter disappointment.

I agree with what you're saying 100%.. but unfortunately, that's the state of gaming in 2017. There are fewer Horizon: Zero Dawns and a lot more Mass Effect Andromedas. |

Dunno if they have them here or not as I don't check their social media stuff, but weekend events like they had in ME3 would be good. Earn something special by using specific character or weapon or face special enemies n so on. Still remember the Zaeed event when Robin Sachs passed away... Was a really nice tribute (which the operation was actually called)  |

I feel the same way. With the current balance, I am getting no enjoyment. I am thinking about trying some games I bought, but haven't touched yet.

Yeah, I've stopped playing for now. I'll check back every time there is a new patch to see if they made powers/combos more effective (main reason why I played ME3MP was because of the biotic detonations). I'll still use the Apex HQ app to sent out strike teams to grind more funds (I think I'm at 700 now) but I won't be playing MEAMP for the near future.

I'm pretty sick of the same 2-3 builds that actually feel like they're doing anything other than tickling the enemy to death, as well as all the bullshit lag.
I am thinking I'll finally try to get through The Witcher 3, though, or maybe play through Fallout New Vegas again or check out the Dark Souls 3 DLC.

Agreed. I just don't feel the pull of ME3MP...or even the SP (SP in ME:A is pretty bad IMHO).
Maybe it was due to the constant crashing. Not sure.
But I can say, I am experiencing weapons drain. I'd like to think each weapon has its own unique trait that just needs to be uncovered to really make it shine (ARC pistol, Venom, etc.). But I'm not feeling that at the moment.
Maybe someone like Heroic, Nuke, Mega, or Max will eventually unlock the "secret code" to make something shine. I just don't think my attention for the game will hold until then.

I just want all weapons to be viable in the meta. If I want to take the Mattock, I want its damage output to be something I actual feel, or the Avenger for crying out loud. I want no weapon left behind.

I'm okay for now. I look at it this way: I still have to unlock all the characters and get them to 20, and the only weapon I really care about getting is the Piranha. If I feel bored after that I'll move on.

I agree with everyone. Step away and enjoy other games. I've had fun with the mp, but it hasn't grabbed me yet like me3mp. However, it hasn't been a big deal. Other games have kept me entertained. Overwatch has its hold on me. Diablo also keeps me entertained. Earlier this week King of Fighters 14 released new dlc fighters. Back to that game as well.

You guys are just picky AF. Seriously playing the same chit everynight, Human Inf + Charger, but it is pretty brainless. Allows me to focus more energy on important things like sipping a beer and fucking with the PUGs on the mic. Lol the conversation I had with this guy last night was priceless.

You're fed up with damage-sponge enemies... and your plan is to play The Witcher 3 instead?  Oh well, it's not so bad on lower difficulties. (Don't get me wrong, I love that game, but at the same time, it has some of the worst, most infuriating mechanics I've ever seen in any RPG.  ) |

Ah, I see. In that case I suggest you don't play it on the hardest difficulty unless you really like the idea that every peasant you meet can take ten times as many hits from you as you (a mutant trained to be a professional monster slayer) can take from them. It's an absolutely lovely game if you focus more on the stories and quests instead of combat challenge, though, so go for it! |
