Players that you deem incompetent (for me it’s
N7 below 350).


Oh and some advice...
My N7 rank is 120 just because I have no interest to promote my characters (is there any reason to do so?) and getting kicked from lobby because of that would be quite silly. N7 rank above 120 doesn't tell anything but your interest in promoting characters ;).



 i would still suggest promoting. you are being stubborn to prove a point and it is going to get you kicked lol.
 you will not be given time to explain yourself, you will probably get all 3 kick votes before you even load in..
 if you really like the game, and want to be taken seriously you need to promote at least a handful of times.
 i can honestly admit i will kick you without even looking at your guns if your n7 level is below 200 in gold.
 sorry. im not alone, i will just admit it.


Ah crap, you play on 360!

Sounds terrible. Mixing factions amounts to every match playing the same, and added health just makes things go slower. Maybe I'll feel different once I play it, but right now I really don't like the sound of it.

great so the difficulty is spiked by having the enemies' health buffed ridicuously, making a lot of weapons already next to useless on gold (thankyou nerfers) even worse. the game is supposed to be fun, i don't call having to take 4 headshots on a low level grunt with a widow fun. plus more gear that is just trying to make up for nerfing? that's not good.

i do like the mix-n-match of enemy types, though geth stunlocking and banshees will be the biggest problems.

I'm not going to bother telling you why this is wrong, as I'm sure somebody else will, and I'm tired.

I'm just going to say

You're welcome.

I think everyone should calm down. Platinum won't be that hard. Before some weeks Me and RedJohn had the luck to find a  the fanmade-platinum mode. And we finished it about 30 minutes with two other players. The concept was same as here. We started versus cerberus, on wave 1 there was atlas. On wave 2 phantoms. Wave 3 geth hunters come. Wave 4 was mixed. Wave 5 ravagers come. Wave 6 the brutes. After that becomes hell because banshee and primes,atlas and phantoms ... :sick: Also all enemies had crazy shield recharge (3 seconds). Nemesis could one shot ( take you down with one hit- literally you see the red beam and you are dead(you can be revived ofcourse). Ravager had 6 shot burst. But all that didnt stop us. We made it to wave 11 (lone survivor) 2 QMI(me with a crusader), SI and GI. Because of the missing one shot nemesis and 6 burst ravagers this  platinum overall wont be that hard. I am sure me and RedJohn will be one of the first to finish it :P

Honestly I don't get all the flak OP is getting on kicking on N7 rating. If Platinum is as hard as one says it is you can hardly risk letting a possibly inexperienced N7-140 randomer join just because "He might be good". This is platinum not gold. It's not elitist it's better safe than sorry...

Ofcourse some players naturally don't promote and-if I know them-I will gladly play with them (WaffleCat, AreleX etc.) for obvious reasons but if it is a stranger from public and he gets two votekicks I'll also gladly give the third. Like I said... better safe than sorry. Ofcouse after about month such acts won't matter and everyone will be ****ing for AN EVEN HARDER difficulty. BioWare not being able to complete it says nothing. Some people just suck at some games and just because they made it doesn't mean they are good at it... I can see zh3rk, Hobo, AreleX (well more likely to be Relix and Bechter without AreleX, I haven't even heard from him in about a week), GodlessPaladin and Mythiic to see the first groups to extraction.

It's a bonus mode, you are not forced to play it.

You do realize that the number of players who can play at your level is a micriscopic minority right?

This might be hard for some people, but I judge people on loadout not N7 ranking

platinum mode where at wave 11, we will fight the Elusive man with 1,000,000 health and 5,000,000 shields, who is armed with a cobra missle launcher. Epic raid mode anyone?


LOL that would be so funny.

If  RedJohn go to the comic-con and start playing on Platinum, BioWare will think that they made a very, very easy Platinum level, witch need to be buff. Image IPB

If that N7 120 is equipped with a LVL X UR, lvl 5 rare gear, etc, I think it fair to say they've played a game or 2.
But I'm sure plenty have kicked the person with the LVL X for someone with LVL 2 and wiped prior to wave  10.

Boring:
Mixing enemy factions is a lame approach, how did this pass the vote in the Bioware office?
It feels like a last resort decision.
I expected something more intriguing and creative, something to spice it up a bit.
They should have introduced new types of enemies instead or added unique platinum powers, gears and weapons to the enemy.

Bah just hope the payout is worth it, how much do you get?
Accepting no less than 160 000 + time bonus.

It's obvious they implemented this so platinum is 99% farm proof and so that strategies that dominate a certain faction can't severely weakened

This is probably the best reason to promote if you play gold so you won't get kicked right away lol.

Well I do hold Bioware to a high standard, maybe I should lower my expectation?
Besides, farm proofing should be done by tweaking the enemy ai.

I'm really looking forward to the YouTube videos for this..'caus I sure as hell ain't gonna be capable of playing it! It sounds impossible! What will Bioware do next, after you folk start regularly beating platinum (which I have no doubt will happen)?

I was going to be cheap and have my AV Stasis Bubble everything on cerberus.:pinched: Need new strategy.


Sounds like fun.They are making it sound impossible but a handful of us will get through it.

Does anyone have an issue if I bust out my Kyrsae or Reegar (with AP mod) in platinum?

Will the mantra of "You're playing the game wrong if you use consumables" still apply in platinum?

In all seriousness, I have no doubt that there will be a small percentage of players that will be able to beat platinum on a regular basis, but please, do not think that the game revolves around you. I'm going to equip lvl 4 upgrades and use weapons that I think will give me the best shot at contributing to my squad.

good question. i suppose it will be up to the group..
 do i want krysaes poisoning my platinum attempts, or owing a victory to that piece of crap? no.
no i do not.
 its up to each person, but ill have no part in krysae platinum crutching.
