I'll sign up!

Have you found anything that can remove the power-combo scaling? It's the main thing that makes weapons suck compared to powers (on Insanity). With that out of the way you might lower enemy HP to balance power vs weapon damage without the need to buff weapons at all. Added shields is a must though.

You mean scaling with the difficulty? 

You can adjust the damage and force of combos though.

Also, since all enemies have shields, the shield gating feature must be removed to make one shot snipers viable.

The way I understand it, combos remain equally effective regardless difficulty.

So, for example, target X (who has 100 HP) dies when you blow it up with one biotic combo on Normal, will still die when using the same combo on Insanity (although it now has, say 200 HP). Weapons don't have this advantage hence why twice the number of shots are required to kill target X on Insanity (compared to Normal). When we could remove this scaling thing completely the difference between using powers and weapons will diminish (drastically).

Also, since all enemies have shields, the shield gating feature must be removed to make one shot snipers viable.

Agreed. It should be possible to kill enemies quickly with weapons too. I would be very happy when - assuming good gameplay - the balance between power and weapon damage gets close to 50/50 instead of the 80/20 ratio of ME3.

[tehmalachi]

Oh, I assumed this would be a joke about running through the whole game never spending points in powers/never using powers and only doing melee with default armor.....But modding the files works too.

[Kronner]

Not to sound like a dream crusher, but modifying the coalescid even in SP will get you banned. Blame Bioware retardation.

You can play in offline mode, right? I seriously doubt they even find out you modified the game. I mean, if you join random MP match, chances are that the host is cheating (more credits, XP, damage etc.) and yet they keep playing.


By the way, while that modified file makes the game harder, it is not MUCH harder and it is not "cheap".

[Soja57]

Quite an ambitious project you got there, Kronner! And yes, Insanity is too easy, so I too have modified my Coalesced file heavily.

Some suggestions:
- Nova: Reduce or simply remove the duration of invincibility when activating Nova
- Incendiary Ammo: Reduce the damage of the evolution Explosion damage
- Tech Armor: Deal more detonation damage and radius (Balance as if it was Nova with a cooldown)
- Sabotage: Reduce duration
- Balance Singularity vs Pull, Pull currently outclasses Singularity immensely
- Allow enemies to throw more grenades (Under Assault Trooper, Centurion, and Cannibal stats)
- Faster enemy shield regen rate + enemies regen to max shields; forces the player to play more aggressive
- Enemies lay down more suppressive fire

[Athenau]

I like a lot of these changes but I don't agree with doubling the damage output of enemies. Shields are already paper on insanity and with permanent health damage this would be a nightmare for classes that have on-demand barrier refills or loads of damage reduction. I would not want to play a soldier with those changes.

Good point, though I've been playing with these settings and it seemed doable so far. Maybe if it turns out to be unfair, the damage increase can be toned back down. Cheers!

Which classes have you been playing with?  If you're balancing around your tank sentinel I don't think that's a very good idea.

I agree with Athenau, the player should not die easier on Insanity than how it already is. Remember when the bonus defense powers in ME2 weren't as useful due to them shredding like paper? The best change is to force the player to play more aggressive yet cautiously at the same time. This can be done with enemy shield regeneration and enemy suppressive fire playing a big factor in aggressiveness.

If you stay behind cover too long due to enemy suppressive fire, the enemies' shields will regenerate completely, which wastes your time and ammo. However, an aggressive but cautious player can prevent enemy shield regeneration with little risk. This system promotes the high-risk, high-reward playstyle to all classes, and not just the Vanguard.

Vanguard, Infiltrator and Soldier so far. It is very doable, but very, very harsh if you make a mistake. I had easiest time with the Soldier, surprisingly

To be honest, the extra damage enemies deal has not been a big factor yet. Though I am looking forward to the fight against 3 primes on Rannoch.

Which variable adjusts the suppressive fire? Thanks 

I was also thinking of adjusting the speed of the Reaper ships on the galaxy map

Sounds mostly good, not sure about the grenade changes though. Also sabotage seems pretty pointless now. Will try it when I get a chance.

Under bioai.ini -> sfxgamecontent -> sfxweapon -> ai, simply increase the ai_burstfirecount and ai_burstfiredelay. Also, under biodifficulty, I think you should also look at firedelaytimehigh and firedelaytimelow, which is the duration in which the enemy waits to fire another burst, and reduce the values just in case.

And yes, I've tried the Reaper speed increase. It's funny when they catch you, they start getting seizures.

[Kronner]

Weapon changes:


Shotguns

Due to longer cooldowns, shotguns need to be more effective in close combat. Therefore, reload speed of almost all shotguns was reduced. Claymore also gains penetration ability to make up for 1 shot per clip restriction.
Since Wraith is costly (250k), it's RoF was increased to perform better. Crusader's recoil was decreased.

Claymore
reload speed is now 1.5s (was 2.57)
distance penetrated now 100 (Javelin-like)

Crusader
recoil is now 1.9, was 2.9

Wraith
RoF is 80, was 48

Scimitar

reload is now 0.9s (was 1.5)

Disciple
reload is now 1.2s (was 2.27)


Sniper Rifles
Javelin got damage buff so that it is now the most damaging one shot SR. Reload speed of SRs was increased across the board.

Black Widow, Widow, and Mantis
reload is now 1.97s (was 2.97)

Raptor and Viper
reload is now 0.53s (was 0.93)

Incisor and Indra
reload is now 1.2s (was 1.8)

Javelin
reload is now 1.97s (was 2.97)
damage increased from 795-993.7 to 995-1193.7


Assault Rifles

Argus
distance penetrated now 25, was 0
damage +10 per shot
reload speed increased by 1s (is 1.9 was 2.9)

Avenger, Valkyrie, Vindicator and Revenant
damage +5 per shot

Saber
reload speed increased by 1s (is 1.9 was 2.9)

I did not touch Pistols and SMGs yet, and I don't think I will.

Oh man. This sounds fun >
Challenging yet fun :X3

[ashwind]

Looks like a heavy gun play game. Gonna give it a try later XD

However, why limit player level to 40-50? 40-50 I find it to be the easiest level range because enemy level is based on player level. At level 40~50ish, mobs cant survive long against assault riffle and shotgun.

Although you can get almost all skill at level 60... well, most of those skills are useless and they are not being used anyways.

Decided to leave level cap at 60. It does not matter that much.

Oh oh! Maybe change up enemies up a little?
Like in the chronos station in the tight corners more guardians? O:

Would need mod tools for that. 

I suppose it *might* be possible to increase number of enemies in general, but it would make the game too hard to be enjoyable IMHO.
