What an uninteresting change.

No one could have predicted this!

End is nigh!

Will playing on Gold help me complete the Husk challenges faster than on silver?

Yes. A Gold husk is worth more than a silver husk which is worth more than a bronze husk.

Should make N7 mastery a bit more bearable.

Yup. I haven't even promoted half that many characters since the game came out. The N7 rating's a meaningless number and this new points system is a testament to that.

On the other hand... I'd welcome Gold character cards back seeing as I have every ultra rare maxed out. Those would make short work of the N7 mastery challenge.

I lol'ed.

I'm definitely guilty of moving down difficulty for completing challenges.
Here is my logic:

For challenges that require extraction, random PUG silver is better deal than gold. I can clutch waves easily with any character / map / weapon I happen to be working on for challenge, but it could be a problem for gold if I am not using anything powerful.

Furthermore, typical gold PUG takes ~30min, while silver ~20mins. In a gold pug I likely burn up missiles + gels, needing to buy a JEP, while silver I can do without, so net credit gain in an hour is about the same: 2x gold - 2x JEP ~ 100k, 3x silver ~ 100k. But the challenge progress is better since I got 3 extractions instead of 2.

For completing weak weapon / power challenges it is best to solo bronze.

None of the above logic will change by increased score / XP in gold/plat.

At this point people would be surprised if balance changes were released on time.

Seems like BioWare is trying to punish me for having fun and playing Silver. Maybe that would work, if Halo 4 (and internet pron) was not my full time job these days.

[Mozts]

Shocking...

[mo0nblade]

and they wanna compete with halo, you had a good run mass effect but why would i stop playing halo when you cant even release your crap on time?

[Mookiemook85]

you need to make it so that you DONT LOOSE EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU GET DISCONNECTED FROM EA'S HORRIBLE SERVERS LIKE 10 TIMES A NIGHT.........I MAD YES I MAD

Most people playing gold and Platinum wont appreciate people showing up with Avengers and stuff to get fast points

And what were those really crappy gunns called...

Sure the avenger is a solid automatic weapon but it's far too weak imo...

Maybe we should make Wednesday the balance day now?

[Daihannya]

Yeah, my high caliber gold/platinum friends are going to play something above bronze again. Can you make guardians one zillion points, or add more of them. Everyone is kill stealing them on gold. It's funny to see guardians dropping like flies around an atlas yet the atlas remains completely untouched.

Exactly.

I'd prefer it if you called tuesday preview day and wednesday release day. Would be much better.

Exactly.  This is what has me so annoyed.  if they are going to hold back already finished characters (which is a really stupid idea in the first place imo) at least get them out on time.

Yes. A Gold husk is worth more than a silver husk which is worth more than a bronze husk.

[*]Except there are vastly more husks in the wave budgets on Silver than Gold.  Same with Guardians.

I'm glad you guys are thorough with testing to ensure the balance changes will work.

Reducing the shield gate cooldown will cause that SG can be triggered faster again after the shields have been broken?

I would say that the net result of the one change is that more people who should be playing the lower levels will start playing more gold and plat games. Higher end players playing in lower levels, not ideal but not the worst thing ever. Lower end players vaulting into gold and plat now not so good. I don't think this is a good solution on 1st thought.

[sabientje67]

Hmm...shorter shield gate cooldown? Nice!
