In all my hundreds of matches i have never seen more than 2 of the big targets(Banshee, Brute, Atlas, Prime) out at the same time. Screenshot or it didnt happen

Well I played in this one silver match and every enemy type was spawning. I mean suppose to be up against cerberus and the 2nd wave was geth, 3 wave was a ton of brutes, and so on. I do not know how that happen but I knew something was wrong was that match. We did clear it using missiles to kill the key enemies on wave 10 because going through multiple boss enemies takes to long with no biotics.

 I think the buff is awesome. Playing a salarian infiltrator was too easy. 
I like that they can now track you better when I am cloaked. I can track a phantom while they are cloaked so why cant the enemy track me while I am cloaked. Geth primes can track your cloak, its awesome. You know how easy Primes go down to cloaked infiltrators with Widow X? 3 shots. Thats it. On gold.

Widow X, armour piercing 5, extended barrel 5, SI built for max damage and I can take a Prime down on gold, 3 shots and 1 maxd energy drain.

If silver is too hard, why not try bronze? No harm in that.

I think they should make a platinum level. 

I'm inching close to N7 200 and I still don't have a Widow or Jav let alone an X... So, good for you. Way to ruin the game.

Try 5 Phantoms on Wave 8 on Silver, and not gradually either. Like 5 spawn at the beginning of the wave.

Phantoms aren't that bad.
You can take them out with one headshot using a good sniper rifle (unlike Banshees).
And aiming at them from cloak while they hide is usually very easy.

...but the main problem is their powerful ranged attack.
If they are on the move they can wipe your whole squad in seconds,
so the infiltrators need to take them out asap instead of shooting the small fry.

And when your first indication that they're there is that they insta-killed you?

It's silver, you'll be fine.

This is not your mother's Silver...in fact, its easier to play Gold with pre-mades now than it is to play Silver with randoms. (of course, this may have always been true...but it is still much more difficult to complete silver with a random group than it was before).

I am playing silver on  a regular base and I did not notice any difference. As for playing with randoms I find good teams more often than not. It is just different on weekends. But as today is a holiday.... all rush kids at church maybe?

I have seen more than 6 banshees in a single wave, but never more than 2 on the field at the same time in Silver.

Are you reporting 4 banshees spawning or 4 banshees actually in the field at the same time?

I am reporting 4 Banshees out at the same time on Wave 10 and 4 or 5 Phantoms (it varies from match to match) out at the same time on Wave 8.  I have also seen 3 - 4 Primes out at the same time prior to Wave 10.  This started happeneing Tuesday night.  This is on SILVER, I am now having about the same luck completeing PUG Silvers as I did Golds last week..

All the extra elites would only be a problem on Glacier, where you can't move aroudn very well.  But with the new spawing positions and flanking and getting shot through cloak from half a mile away and dodges/blocks on Cerberus and Geth I can barely reposition without getting torched.

as a suggestion to Bioware, I'd say instead of buffing the AI they should simply make different difficulty modes and gauge the credit payout accordingly. for example: create a bronze plus (difficulty in between bronze and silver), silver plus (difficulty between silver and gold) and gold plus (extreme difficulty mode)

Basically Heroic Mode like in World Of Warcraft

Late waves in silver have always had about 4 Banshees...

Of course, they're not normally around at the same time... They usually just come in pairs.

But hey, as long as they're all within rocket aoe distance of each other, I'm cool with it.

if you read from some other posters u dont have a chance to bust out a rocket because their intelligence is also buffed so they spawn together but now if u notice they spread out and look to flank you especially brutes if ur attacking a banshee or even cannibals....

There was definitely a stealth buff to the enemies in the last couple days. Its pretty much a complete ass****ing for random groups now. You can no longer just run to a safer spot on the map either. Some changes to the flanking mechanics or something, but death now waits around every corner.

So they are either trying to get people to stop playing all together, or they want to punish the entire community for what a few glitchers did by making it even more difficult to get credits (or they just wnat to push people into buying more packs with cash, in which case I'll just quit playing).

Seriously, revert the enemy AI stealth buff. Nothing good will come from this.

So....there were dozens of threads complaining about gold being too easy.....

And after an update that supposedly increased the difficulty, Silver has suddenly become too hard....

*sigh* You just can't please people....

This is why you have 2 missiles per person per game. You have 8 missiles total in any game minimum if you have 4 people. If your team member sees two banshees then that mean you use the rockets. Don't be stingy with your rocket usage and sliver is easy wave 10. If everyone used 1 rockets on wave 10 it would be over fast and 1 rocket costs what 1k-5k.

There is no excuse for everyone not using at least one missile on wave ten by killing 2 banshees instantly.

ive had a missile shortage for a while now, definatly every pack today has had zero cobras, just medi-gel or ammo replens, and soem of the silver matches iev had, ive had to use all 5 cobras i did manage to collect just to keep everyone alive (guessing their not using them because their having a shortage as well)

it can be tough (esp those damned phantoms) but hey if the whole game was faceroll why would we bother.
  I know i sometimes enjoy having a few heart in mouth moments when the brown stuffs hit the fan.

This morning on Dagger my team wiped on a wave 10 hacking objective that had two ravagers, a brute, and a banshee all waiting for us in the hacking zone. In the wide-open bit in the center of the map there was another brute, another ravager, and another banshee, plus cannibals and marauders. I used two rockets to clear out some of the heavies before we went in for the hack but it was way too much and we wiped quickly.

I've also noticed that now by the time I get to the second deactivation objective Cerberus always has turrets behind a smoke screen waiting for us there. 

Maybe I should just try gold. Silver's gotten more difficult and the randoms I play with are ragequitting more than ever and it's made earning credits for premium packs an excruciating experience at times.

[Horacio Zhao]

That's normal for banshee, but only 2 brutes??

[termokanden]

Silver may have gotten more difficult (did it?), but it is still quite doable with randoms.

But yes people are quitting like crazy.

[kyles3]

Another wave ten wipe on a hacking objective, this time against geth. More of me wasting rockets on a failed mission because no one else will use theirs. This isn't me trying to make a point anymore, just griping. The people I'm playing with are really bringing out my inner Daniel Plainview.

[Federally]

Finished the last 4 Silvers with 3 man teams. Play with friends and for whatever reason the 4th randoms keep dropping, pretty annoying

I don't have a screenshot, and I am dubious as to whether silver difficulty was buffed (I haven't noticed a serious increase against geth or reapers. Cerberus I can't say either way), but yesterday on a silver match a team I was on had two brutes and a banshee in the LZ when the extraction timer hit zero.

Logical conclusion: Different people are complaining about silver.

According to one of the Bioware people, there was no change to difficulty in the last update.

My theory is: Random teams on silver seem to be getting worse.

[Sacrificial Bias]

I believe the stealth AI buff was recently removed either today or late yesterday. My first hint was when I was in a Bronze game with 3 teammates with an N7 rating of less than 10, they were all over the map, and someone only died once per wave. I believe I died once during a match with my Turian Soldier and that was it. No deaths on my Krogan Soldier.

For me, this is about average. Maybe dying once in Bronze because I was using a character I was unfamiliar with. I would not suddenly die 3-5 times in a single Bronze game unless I left every 5 minutes to take a ****** break. I'm not a good gamer by any means, I work 40 hours a week and don't have enough free time to learn how to headshot every enemy in sight instantly. I do however know enough to be able to tell when enemies all of a sudden hand me my ass on a platter every 30 seconds. I look at the post-game stats to see that all my recent bronze games went from 20 minutes to 25-30 minutes.

And you would have me believe that all the randoms I match up with also suddenly happen to screw up enough to extend every last recent match by 5 to 10 minutes? On freaking BRONZE?

The insulting part is that the Bioware staff has blatantly DENIED any such changes. More insulting are the fanboys insisting that me and the rest of my team from all over the world, some of whom are likely better players than me given where I sit on the totem pole as a casual player, are suddenly and constantly screwing up my every game.

You want to challenge players? Make a PLATINUM league where every player can bask in the thrill of being instantly headshot by 20 mobs if they so much as pop their head out of cover for half a second. Forcing thousands of players into a challenge will not make them happy campers. This is a bit like removing casual, normal, and hard difficulties from single player and leaving players only with insanity mode. It's like making everybody play Demons Souls or Dark Souls regardless of whether or not they want to do the digital equivalent of breaking down a cement wall with their foreheads.

I don't know. Maybe. After all my bellyaching I just had a phenomenal game against Cerberus--in Reactor, no less, which is a map that usually gives me fits. Played with a really good Novaguard; he and my Asari Adept made beautiful 'splosions together. Sometimes you get a really good team. I guess random is random and you just have to take the good with the bad.

maybe when we have a good team we dont notice a lot of the higher end mobs dying, while on a nto so good team because their not dying as fast it "seems" their all over you in great numbers.

hard to tell some games.

been playing multi since the beginning and got an n7 of 900+ and i did notice lately that the objectives in a map and waves started to follow a theme lately, for example you would no longer get mixed objectives nearly as much as a week or 2 ago. for example its usually 2 or all 3 objectives are all the same type and it doesnt change and the waves have begun to show "theming" also what i find realyl peculiar is the wave 8. me and my mates call it the specialist wave. since on waves 5-7 you start seeing atlas mechs.(and random brutes/banshees and primes) wave 7 usually brings 2-3 of them. then on wave 8. none but a **** load of phantoms, combat engineers and guardians. then on wave 9, 6 or 7 atlas mechs. or 6 banshees and 4-5 brutes with 4-5 ravagers and only a handfull of husks, cannibals and even less marauders. where as the wave 10 is business as usual when it comes to enemies on that wave, nice even flow of cannon fodder and no panicking ;D
