Well I can pretty much solo gold all I need is one person to do hacking objective but yeah If I'm fighting even harder or working even more to accomplish a goal in platnium and it doesn't offer some kind of better reward then once again it is a waste if I can pretty much solo gold and get the same amount of credits that you guys will take a hour or 2 to get


Judging from your posts in this thread, you seem to care more about
credits than an actual challenge, because you say playing Platinum would be pointless without
a credit incentive. A tougher challenge is not "pointless" to the player who enjoys the toughest challenge.


all depends on what you play for. its the reason i don't like wave 10 wipes on purpose. i'd rather take the last 2 minutes to win and get a sense of achievement

How much harder than gold can platinum difficulty really be? On gold, almost everything already takes you to shield gate in half a second. If you don't get to cover you are dead the next half/quarter of a second depending on how many health bars you have left. I don't see how getting killed on platinum can be any faster unless they remove shield gate on players.


I think we have shown there is different things people would have never thought about that changes things entirely.

IE. Let's speed up hunters, Atlas should shoot more, or you know hey you are fighting some geth and all of sudden you get a banshee.  Plenty more "fun" we are capable of doing


This sounds a lot more interesting than the standard "All enemies do more damage." Interesting to play if this really happens.

I love cerberus. I like that they aren't super strong robots or monster, just humans, and they employ tactics and cooperation BECAUSE of that.

They are just underdog, measly, humans, and they have cool tech, work together to flank you and stuff.. they make me proud to be human! even tho they are "modified" :o

I am all for merging man and machine irl, just not forceful indoctrination :X

With all this hyping the BW staff is doing in this thread, I will be very disappointed if Platinum turns out to be fairly easy.

aw man i hope not... the "cheap" way of making mobs harder is a pain in the ass and just a nuisance rather than being a challenge

Still if the players who are putting in the hard work are not getting a better form of reward and I can get as much credits in gold then I can pretty much say that your platnium lobbies may be very small


I would be fine with that if everyone was capable of pulling his/her weight. The number of people who can do that on Gold are already in the minority.


I can take gold with 1 person on any map if platnium is even harder but no reward do you honestly think you will be able to solo it or with only two people I highly doubt it if their is no form of small incentive then it is less like you will have allies to join you


Obviously there would be less people joining the lobbies, that's the point.

Weeding out the ones who feel entitled to credits. All that would be left are those who want a challenge. It's a better alternative than people who should be on Bronze trying to tackle Platinum for more credits like they try to do on Gold now.

Grenades for geth will do a great deal. Teleporting prime would be nice. Can you make geth outflank camping players? On a certain white map and not just charge decoy mindlessly?

Yeah but if you weed out all the good players because of no reward and you pretty much have empty lobbies then you won't even be able to beat the platnium mode that you're trying to achieve I don't think you see the logic I'm trying to show you

This would probably sound farfetched. But a method to increase difficulty without having it feel too artificial would be somewhat simple. You can't choose which enemy faction to face on Platinum. Because there will only be one.

All three at once.

Banshees, Phantoms, and Primes, oh my!

Good god my adrenaline's kicking in just reading about it. Faster enemies with more rate of fire, throw in some banshees. The first round will be like the eleventh round of Gold. The Bioware guy can't do it in a team and he'll have all the best gear maxed out. I thought Platinum was a bad idea (I mean if you want to make Gold harder don't use rockets) but now the inner masochist in me likes the idea.

I hope that this platinum difficulty will be impossible to solo and will require the pinnacle of teamwork. Otherwise, it'll just be a matter of time before someone figures out a system and people start demanding, I don't know, plutonium difficulty?

What if we manage to solo it?


I will tip whatever is left of my hat to you.


I can only hope that it lives up to the hype.  Honestly, I'll be happy if I can't solo it on my first coupla tries.  *Shrug*

I doubt anyone will be able to solo platnium if it is hard as the devs are making it out to be

Yes, let's make the points salarians sink into decoy absolutely and completely worthless and let's make it impossible to play any squishy class. Thanks. :wizard:

The only class that should have any possibility at all of survival is a Krogan Vanguard with a pimped out overpowered weapon and maxed out gear!!!

also they can say no grenades or lengthen the cooldown
only have objectives for hack with a longer duration, pizza delivery, and the new one. no easy targets or devices

Holy cow.. I need to get some friends! Lol. I usually PUG just because I don't have any friends that play the multiplayer aside from my brother, and we share a console. I usually do Silver PUG and talk to whoever has a mic in game :P.
