Bryan and Derek, your replies are both terrifying and intriguing. Good show.

Like in your speedrun when there were no dlc's yet?

That is indeed correct, that is still my class of choice

Could you tell us what times you score on average while playing on gold with your tryhard pants on?
I know time isn't necessery an indicator for skill but when I see teams beat gold in <17 minutes without even using one rocket in the whole match or player do solo runs in ~20 minutes, it kinda is hard to imagine what Platin is going to be even when players as this are supposed to have problems.

Right now there are players that simply can beat gold regularly without too much trouble (like me) but there are also those guys that probably can beat gold blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their back...

In any case I'm really curious what it's gonna be like.

I honestly don't time any of the runs I'm in, or remember what my best time is when the whole group is trying to rush through. For the most part I play with people who aren't looking to speedrun anything. I'm sure I've not extracted in under 20 minutes on Gold myself, but low 20s is what I'm thinking I'm at. I could be wrong and it could be a bit longer.

I will say though, that outside of the occasional game with random people, I have not failed to extract on Gold since around the game came out, and with the usual people I play with we usually don't have much any trouble getting to extraction. 

Platinum is just hard as nails. But please, wait and see until you can try it for yourself and judge it for yourself. I'm certain there are far more skilled players than myself just itching to get challenged.

I'm sorry, did someone ask for EXTRA difficult with a side order of MAXIMUM hurtlocker?

Ok, don't say we didn't warn you

And yet, do you see how excited people are for this!  We welcome the pain!  Up until we understand and feel the pain, then we curl up in a corner and cry.

Some ENEMIES SPAWNING EVERYWHERE!
A little more CHAOS EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE!
And for dessert I'd like a spanking

You know, my hat is off to you who want to attempt to solo Platinum. You must either be incredibly foolish, or incredibly brave.

I'll side with Bryan on this though, the victory he had with his group is I believe the only recorded victory so far, and that is well before the difficulty was in its current state. The likelihood of any single person legitimately beating Platinum solo is astronomically unlikely to me.

18-19min but that was a few months ago, I havent been playing that level of "hardcore" outside of work walls

[LadyAlekto]

Sooooo

From what our dear bw staff members are posting here

I will be going to run into a really bick brickwall over and over again because i cannot give up not beating the hardest setting?

Do we get something for multiple blunt head traumata? aka what will be payoff? that should be nice indicator for the skill required to beat this

Btw as a good little sadistic reaver i will enjoy any suffering you will deliver, i will take the pain and let it feed my anger when i put my metalhammer out, I WANNA SEE WHAT PASSES AS FURY AMONG THEIR MISBEGOTTEN KIND! *laughs insanely*

HAIL AND KILL ROAAAAR *goes to flip on some heavymetal to get into the mood*

I can't wait to attemp to clear "platinum" with a good team. I imagine complimentary charcters are best, also max equipment and perfect rocket shots-exactly how the hardest difficulty should be.

* I just hope the missile glitch is fixed sooner than later, some will likely exploit platinum with this cheat. I remember the highest ranks of Halo 2; when the challenge is greatest the cheaters find solutions. Which is a big time bummer for the hardcore players.

I'm looking forward to trying this with some of the better gold level players I roll with. Not looking forward to attempting a pug with it ever. I may just try a FBWGP to test the waters.

[DM Clone 1]

basicly its gona be stunlock heven... If you get shot= stunlock duration 5min if you use medigel consumes all 5...

I am now both excited and afraid.

[Mgamerz]

RedJohn you know what playing with me is like. Imagine playing with me on Platinum.
It'll be scarier than that ghost you see in Pokemon Tower without the Silph Scope.

[Geek]

Excited for it, but am hoping it is more than just increasing enemy hitpoints.

[Derek Hollan]

People ask me why I hit myself in the head with a hammer.

My reply: Because it feels so good when I stop.

[AzureSky899]

I bet on Platinum, missiles need to get past shield gate thus 2 missiles for 1 prime or any enemy with shields really.........that'd be awesome, 3 prime shots kill you etc etc

[Mgamerz]

Also, please tell me it includes AI changes. Or at least weapon changes. Having a bunch of banshees is not as fun as having a nemesis that can two shot you (instead of a lame shield gating 1 shot)

So did Blizzard say about inferno difficulty in Diablo 3. But people beat it solo in the first two(?) weeks since release. One beat inferno in hardcore mode. And inferno in D3 is much more difficult and cheap than any other difficulty in any other game. It's even cheaper than Gold Geth.

If people start soloing platinum, they should offer a player crippling mode. Call it Insanity, like sp. Except you have no shield gate, enemies are smarter and flank faster. Can't revive with medigel only team revives. Enemies block out the sun with the sheer volume of their numbers. On wave 10 nothing but bosses spawn, Banshees for reapers, Primes for Geth, and Phantoms for Cerberus.

Oh, and you can only bring 1 other player with you.

If this happens...then we shall fight in the shade

[Doommarine23]

So will Platinum be worth it, in terms of credit pay out? Seeing as hard it is, I'd expect a much bigger reward.

death is coming...


let the medigel be with us.

Maybe that's why this weekend challenge's Victory pack will increase the medigel capacity to 6.

We'd better not fail this operation! Platinum awaits our offerings of medigel!

Is the platinum just Gold on Steroids or did you guys add some curveballs in there?

And short of Belial I'm in Act 3 of Inferno myself, as well as a couple of other people here. Do not worry, Platinum is very unkind.
