Well i disagree i think it looks pretty easy as it is now, and no i don't have N7 weps or anything close still using a Phailanx III on Silver. I tried Silver for the first time today and to be honest it felt pretty easy. Did Firebase Hydra 3 times, 3 different enemies. Sure it was challenging but not to hard except for wave 11 which just kept spawning us banshees and brutes.

And once u've done silver, bronze looks like a walk in the park i can't imagine how it would feel if you can farm gold..

I haven't tried gold yet but when i actually get my Raptor Pack!!! (BIOWARE?!?) and it has a nice new heavy pistol in there maybe i'll give it a go.

You don't have to wait for weapons. You can play gold with an Adept and a predator pistol. Biotics will carry you untily you get some weapons you're happy with/don't weigh so damn much.

I find it virtually impossible to draw any conclusions with the kind of discussion that's been going on here. Some people are saying this game is too easy, even on gold; others too hard even on bronze. I'm skeptical of both.
I don't really "farm" much or use consistent teammates; plus I've been spending a lot of recent matches with the new maps, classes, and weapons. There are far too many variables for me to draw any conclusions, but it would be nice if everybody could just back off the personal attacks. I read this thread looking for information on developments in the game and feel like I need to take a shower after instead.

^ Thank you

Its really discouraging when i'm on Bronze, with a lvl 20 Krogan Sentinal, tech armor is spec to protect from dmg, so is rage...and i'm getting downed by ASSAULT TROOPERS ON WAVE 6!!!!

That's just playing as a bad Krogan Sentinel.

A Krogan Sentinel can take 3 Atlas rockets to the face on bronze and not even drop his shields.

How bout when you're on bronze, and a geth rocket trooper take your sheilds from full to gone with one shot? and then a reg trooper unloads a full clip while you're staggered? You go down, every. damn. time.

difficulty felt the same, but they do seem to stomp a lot faster

The problem likely isn't so much the damage as it has to do with the Krogan being so fat and surrounded by enemies on all sides with perfect accuracy.  That quite literally does not give your shields a chance to regenerate.  Cover will only work for long range.  Mid range and closer and you might as well be standing out in the open.  And that's one reason why I have had no issues taking on a Geth Prime with my Krogan Vanguard while he has 3 pyros and 2 hunters backing him up.  I rely on my BC to charge my shields rather than hiding behind cover, simply because a stray bullet shot from that trash mob across the map will only drop my shields 1%, but it'll be enough to keep them from regenerating for the next 4-5 seconds.  Not a good thing when your shields are already down.

I don't like this. If one wanted to play a harder difficulty why not just play gold? I can see making gold harder but I like being able to actually win rounds pretty consistently. Its fun to shoot and fight my enemies I don't need it to be really hard

Exactly, when i want to actually have to worry about dying i play gold, but whein i'm leveling up a new char from lvl 1...i want to be able to hide out and get a few shots in before my non upgraded shields go down. and silver? thats the place ppl go to farm credits without as much difficulty as gold, but when a gold match looks like a bronze...and a silver starts to feel more like a gold? thats when i just wanna go back to halo... >,>

[Apocsapel91]

If anything, I thought it was getting easier. I can practically solo silver reapers with my AA, almost...

I think it's safe to say you are exaggerating, and/or are a liar. Just take your pride down a notch and realize you got caught out of position or with low health and got downed by a lame enemy. It happens. Move on with your life. There are no conspiracy theories against you or some crazy hax. 

No he isn't, and that is actually a pretty offensive reply.  Regardless of whether or not you believe any of us both my friend and I have dropped from full health/shields on silver in an instant.  It has only happened a handful of times but it has definitely happened.

My friend theorised that maybe the mobs were now capable of headshots.  /shrug

I noticed the centurions and marauders became tough guys lately.

[Horacio Zhao]

I don't think the difficulty has changed, but the cerberus enemy is really fast to stomp on people now. They are like cannibals who see corpse, actually run to a downed player to stomp them

No joke. I was the victim of what literally only could be described as a run-by stomping last night. I even had an infiltrator standing no less than five feet from me who went to revive not a second after I went down, and I still ended up executed. The assault trooper didn't even stop moving. What, did Edward Norton join Cerberus or something?

No what im saying is that their trying to test the game live and every day, sometimes every game is a totally different experience difficulty wise as it was not before apr 3 when the patch came out and these posts all started coming up.

No, we do actually have an internal test server... and all the hotfixes are tested internally before they're deployed to the live servers.

It's an interesting idea to get more people into the pool though but I'm not sure how feasible it would be. Off the top of my head I think it would be pretty difficult to get some of the infrastructure set up. I can definitely bring it up though.

someone needs to understand there is a huge difference between a test environment and the people playing the test a certain way and the real world where it's on a multitude of systems and many many people are playing.

Same thing happened to me. As your'e getting revived they ignore your friend and make a bee-line for your body to stomp.

Yep. At first it's actually more amusing than it is annoying. Actually hell, I don't think I've reached the point run-by stompings cease to be funny yet.

I actually catch myself speaking to my character " They may say nothings changed but its changed and your not gonna stomp me bioware"

*medi-gel

everytime i almost get stomped even if its a wave 1 accident or phone call and i wasnt paying attention ill gladly use the medi-gel in this long war to retakemasseffect3 

[Foxtrot813]

I will say this. I have *felt* like MP has gotten trickier, but that might just be me being a dunderhead.

It also could be Bioware's fetish for buffing enemies and nerfing our... everything.

[Xceptopec]

I stopped playing Bronze 3 days after release, and only ventured into Gold once - I am a Silver all the way.

The increases in the enemy aggressiveness and relative difficulty started over 3 weeks ago - when the Geth suddenly went from being the easiest to deal with, to making the Reapers look favourable for a fighting chance to extract.

Since then the Geth have got better at least twice more, and Cerberus have improved at least twice (can't say I've noticed with the Reapers - I seem to spend half the match running from pyschotic former Asari, or crouching behind cover while the 3 or 4 Ravagers on the other side of the map try to be friendly and give me all of their highly explosive rounds in sets of 3).

If BioWare are not doing anything to the nature of the AI - then something is clearly going wrong because they are getting smarter, more agile, more blood thirsty, more curb-stomp crazy, more perceptive (spotting cloaks, suddenly knowing a sniper has their head in the cross-hairs despite looking the opposite direction), and more likely to hunt in packs now than when we first entered the full MP.

Dude, check yourself and your atitude at the login.
I've been stomping gold all day, but everytime i try to just do a silver...all of a sudden the enemies are completely kicking our asses.

Well whatever happened it was enough for a member of the group I usually play with over XBL to ask the rest if we felt like playing something else since getting stomped with 2 level 20's and a level 15 in a bronze match we have beaten many, many times is not fun anymore. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, now to find something else to do with my daily allotted Mass Effect 3 MP time.

[O______O]

They haven't really upped the difficulty of anything, but rather nerfed everything good. And no matter what difficulty you play on you'll realize that even if all your weapons are level X, your enemies using the exact same guns STILL have better weapons than you. Makes me want my level XI.

[llandwynwyn]

Silver is harder, yes. 2+ turrets in the same room, warps hardly connecting against cerberus, waves composed only of groups of primes/hunters/pyros...

With PUG, I'm doing now the missions in 20-23 minutes, same I did gold.

[The Absurdity]

I don't know what the OP and others are experiencing, but I have zero problems on gold.

Dude, just admit it. If a single rocket trooper owns your ass on bronze, you just suck at the game period.

Stop trying to blame everything and everyone else and just learn to play.
