Were you different distances from the target? IIRC MEAMP introduced a formula for sniper damage that depends on distance.

Last night my human soldier carried 10 grenades and 11 concussive shot charges into a match. Spike damage is a hell of a drug.

Haven't played the newer Apex mission on Paradox yet, but on the first one with the Kett Krogan, I was able to play the Apex mission as is, then after the game I could edit the match settings to something like, say, public U/U/Paradox. Unfortunately I think they may have fixed it, ran in and died immediately and no luck, reset to random map. Too lazy to run through and complete it.

That and the extra Customization Options, good to know their priorities are fixing the incidental things that are actually fun and don't impact a single goddamn thing in a negative fashion. Sorry about that then, thanks for letting me know.

Shortly after update 1.05 was released to console, namely Xbox one. I, like most of you, grinded for the new character, maxed him out, and ranked him up. After opening a good amount of 100K boxes, I got my apex to a respectable 11,792. I ran a few more matches, golds of course, grinding for more apex and levels, until I randomly get dash boarded without reason. Thinking nothing much of it, I signed back in, connected to mass effect servers, and to my surprise, my apex dropped way down to 11,470. I sent off a bug report to EA, in which the opened a case, and checked things on there end, but to no avail. I was told that they would submit this issue internally, and recommended that I should post the bug here. For validation purposes, I did screen shot my apex being 11,792, then again after it dropped. The screen shots taken by xbox are time stamped when taken and uploaded, validating the drop. And there we have it. Has anyone else experienced this? My question is, when do I get my missing APEX and gear reimbursed? As you all know, grinding them 100k boxes, takes a while. Especially when the only thing you can rank up is the ultra rarest. If possible, could a mod contact me, about this issue. [X] Working As Intended™ help.ea.com/en-us/help/mass-effect/mass-effect-andromeda/mass-effect-andromeda-apex-leaderboards-disabled/

I can't even imagine spending 200 hours playing MEAMP 160, however, ![](http://i.imgur.com/r3yWKXp.png) I'm at 39 hours according to the app and 69 according to Origin, lets see if I can get to 200 despite the CTDs. I cannot even start multiplayer as of right now. Bet your real time there is maybe half of what the Origin shows. Half? Don't be silly.

It didn't happen to look like this, did it? As a matter of fact it did! Thanks for showing me how it's done, I havent thought of using the L-Alt key for that purpose lol! So where did that 'move' originate from anyway? AFAIK, from here:

Tip for anyone who wants to play a non-Apex mission on the Paradox map, you can edit the match settings afterwards and play different games on the same map. its locked to that specific apex mission, wont budge the setting. Haven't played the newer Apex mission on Paradox yet, but on the first one with the Kett Krogan, I was able to play the Apex mission as is, then after the game I could edit the match settings to something like, say, public U/U/Paradox.

160 hours in game, all but 2 of that in MP. Apex app says I've only spent 70-something hours in completed matches, though. Disconnections are a real bitch.

Oh good, you'll want to take notes from me then, because here's the last time I played Gold/Zero/Outlaw with the same kit/gun setup, plus three other non-snipers. You can ignore the part about the scores being circled, that was something I was pointing out for a different thread, and I didn't keep the original screenshot, but definitely check out the match cleared time. ![](http://i.imgur.com/jcTns8b.png) Do not, I repeat do not take notes from that scrub. Seriously don´t. We all know that this screenshot is photoshopped! He just wants to confuse us into believing anything other than certain snipers and infiltrators are useful on gold. Also that powers are viable on gold. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FALSE PROPAGANDA!111!!1!!!1!!337 OK you got me, I may have 1862 hours in ME3MP but to be honest I barely have 160 hours in MEAMP, I don't know why I thought I knew what I was talking about. Let me grab my vanq and I'll go sit in the time-out corner at the back of zero.

I did some Gold Apex PUG today, and some Kroguard outscored mine by 25%. He also did some Krogan dance or something I haven't seen before. Name was Darks1de or something along those lines. Dunno if he's from BSN though. It didn't happen to look like this, did it?

I spec her for a powers build, not a melee build. I softened a lot of enemies up with AR and powers, and then they were finished off in a number of ways - AR, powers, melee, and/or teammates, as you can see from my biotic and assist medals. I was running area/debuff/vortex on AF so I always had one or two teammates following me around helping kill floating stuff. Basically it was an all around balanced kit, getting points in a variety of different ways instead of just clicking the shoot button all match. Also, this still shows that you don't need a sniper rifle OR a high-level kit to do well on Gold, and yes I've played against Outlaw post-patch and still did fine with non-sniping medium-to-close range kits. Anyway, I don't usually like being confrontational or judgmental, but at this point it seems like you'd rather just stick to your guns and argue than accept evidence from other experienced players that there are other ways to have fun and/or do well playing the game. I'm interested in farming zero outlaw gold efficiency tips & tricks, not "fun".

Dont remind me DAIMP ![:crying:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/DXYvYKTKTfCBEhHGFvDL.png) . They took everything that i love, starting from a fantasy setting, spells, dungeon runs, co-op and gave it so little support, so little content, so little everything... I spent around 200 hours playing it always with the hope that they would actually keep on developing it further like they did with ME3 MP... but nope it didnt happen. In the end I did have some fun with it but also much disappointment. I hope they wont do the same thing with MEA : MP because if they do... Well, hate to disappoint but so far, MEAMP is seeing less support than even DAIMP, less feedback and less overall balance. It does look and feel better but that's about it. Number of abilities and characters and actual effort that went into design seems to be way less. I actually enjoyed DAIMP for about same 200 hours or so, maybe even more. For me, main issue is that DAI by itself was not a bad game in single player, well, if you don't do side collector missions, that was just a bad and unnecessary filling, whereas MEA is an obvious and annoying miss in almost everything. I can't even imagine spending 200 hours playing MEAMP 160, however, ![](http://i.imgur.com/r3yWKXp.png)

For example, here's a level 8 rank X Asari Adept with Thokin top scoring gold. I notice that BRONZE assault rifle medal. Which means barely any kills came from it. It's odd there's no melee medal. 2 days ago I put my lvl 8 asari on gold. Used equalizer but did not fire a shot; meleed everything. I had to use the vanquisher on her yesterday cause the berserkers stagger you now. I spec her for a powers build, not a melee build. I softened a lot of enemies up with AR and powers, and then they were finished off in a number of ways - AR, powers, melee, and/or teammates, as you can see from my biotic and assist medals.

I think I saw crashsuit in a couple of Golds last night (on PC), finished one Gold, match was a bit laggy, then the host got DC'd halfway through the next match. Hey nice, sorry I didn't recognize you. That must've been during my "stable" run, where I actually got a couple games in a row in. My tally for the night last night was I think 4 full games out of 10 attempted.

I have like 100 screenshots since they updated the app. Let me crawl through them later today and see if I have any where the gear stacks (or doesn't) with the trait. Oh -- if you didn't know -- when you pick the team to send on a mission now, it will show you which traits are in effect. But strangely only for +10/-10 traits. So we don't know if the +5/-5 traits are actually in effect but not shown in the U.I., or... just don't do anything. LOL! Oh, that's neat, the Android app still hasn't updated. The updated version is in the Android app store. It didn't have the "update" button for some reason, but uninstalling and reinstalling upgraded me to the newer version.

I will keep this post in mind. I don`t play any character until they are ranked X though. Don`t wanna play gimped lvl 20 character. Wish me luck so I can play UR characters within 2017. There are effective and fun builds for kits even at rank 1. Just like in ME3MP, having game knowledge and decent gear can make up for using under-leveled characters.

Since the server tweaks earlier in the week, I was disconnecting from MP much more infrequently, and strike team Apex missions weren't causing connection issues while I was playing, but now after the 1.05 patch, I'm losing connection in MP again and strike team Apex missions are interfering with my connection. Finished about 4 out of 10 attempted games tonight. I was using full consumables every match, too.
