That's about it.
Couple things about other characters (that I did not have chances to try out):

Adept: Annihilation field, throw and dark channels. I assume the dark channels is like the one in the single player. The annihilation field damages enemies around you (not sure).

Vanguard: phase disruptor. One of the developers told me that this spell does not have cooldown. However, it drains your shield everytime you use it.

Sentinal: you have a shield (I'm sure everyone knows that by now).

Ah, even more interested by the vanguard now, this palm spell could definitely be interesting.
Thanks for the feedback.

Sounds like an alternate to Nova.

Ought to be interesting.

It sounds like the phantoms hand blaster to me.

I didn't know the Phantom's hand blaster took it's own shields down. Or that it disrupted.. Phases.

In your opinion, would you say platinum will invalidate the weaker characters/builts? For example, I like to run the drellguard once in a while on gold and usually have no problems with either faction but I'm still incredibly squishy and it's easy as heck for me to die if I get into too much trouble.

I think drell gurad is fine. Area reave + cluster grenede is excenllent crowd control.
Other weak classes: I'm not so sure.

Honestly, I will never play as Krogan, Batarian and Turian (except for Krogard).
The reason is very simple. There is a very high chance that you will encounter Geth during the early game. The rocket trooper(accidental double rocket problem was not fixed) and geth hunters and primes can stunlock you. On Platinum difficulty, once they stunlock you, you are 90% dead.

Credits?

It's the drell vanguard, not drell adept. Could be a challenging class for platinum indeed.
And yeah, I guess that the stunlocking issues will be awesome when you have 2 banshees chasing you in the same time.

The Infiltrator has the hand blaster. It takes the barrier away.

It doesn't but if people could just spam it it would be op. It disrupts shields by dropping them in one shot haha.

He said it was the Vanguard, though, not the Infiltrator.

Vanguard, not infiltrator, it has been confirmed that the Shadow won't have a palm blaster, but that the Slayer will indeed have some kind of palm attack.

CREDITS are the credits increased?

Yes they are. I'm not sure how much but it's definitely gonna be rewarding.

I think credit reward would be ~100 000 - 120 000 credits, so you can buy PSP after single match 
But if the platinum is much much harder than gold and you have only little percent to complet it, credits can be like ~200 000 

[Catastrophy]

Thanks for updating us. Sounds interesting overall.

Ah, yes, my fault. I think it will definitely be challenging. If that is your thing then I wish you good luck.

Sorry. Got confused there for a bit

[Rib0flavin]

This mode from what you described sounds liike a really tough mode. Mixing the enemy units is the right way to go to create a great challenge for the players.

[d_nought]

Sounds like a dumb question, but do you know if enemies do more damage in platinum?

I think it's dumb to judge skill by a n7 rating unless its like under 100 or somthing or like extremely low like they just started the game. Ive only promoted all classes once and just like 200 something I don't even know my own number lol.

Overall, in my opinion, if you think Gold is twice as hard as Silver is. Then Platinum will be 4 times as hard as gold is. Hopefully Bioware will realize the problem and lower the difficulty before launch.

The combinations of enemies will pose a challenge. They can now rush you and flank you pretty good at the same time. (geth hunters/banshees+phantoms)

The new objective: (escorting an AI). While I never had an encounter with this objective, I'm sure it will be just as, if not more, difficult than hacking.

I will no longer be going to their base tomorrow so that's about all I know.
I will try my best to answer all of your questions tomorrow.
I wish everyone of you good luck in hunting in Platinum difficulty in this DLC.

I'll conclude the summary on platinum with what I told one of the developers today:"do not try this at home, you'll die a lot." He laughed so hard. lol

You have a point, it really dependes on the people. Some good players have low N7 point. But bad teammates will infuriate you a lot.
And I think a mic is a must.

If someone's N7 is under 120 and they're not playing a level 20 character, that's when I'll pay attention. I usually check the weapon loadout more than anything else though. If someone's using an Avenger VI or something that's a better indication that they're a new player than their N7.

Then again, I play silver, so I usually don't care too much. Gold I can only finish with a certain friend (who can solo gold, so it says less about my skills and more about his). Platinum sounds like I'll try it once for ****s and giggles and then never, ever go there again.

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the match making randomly dumping me in in-progress platinum games while searching for other difficulties.

I think the main reason why certain teams didn't get too far, more than the difficulty, was the fact that they were playing on new maps, having to form new strats on the fly, which decreases the chances of creating optimal strats, plus, these were new classes to adapt to on the fly. Platinum won't be nearly as hard as it's projecting itself to be at the moment when people play with the classes/maps they know and love.
