I suppose they could do it on a unit by unit basis. Can't do credits, though.

and how many people are going to feel better that Collectors award a little bit more XP?

I would at least. Getting 360,000 from a rather tough U/U/G on a bad map like Rio is really annoying when you could have seen ~500,000 with any other faction.

I'd still say drop the possession mechanic entirely though. It's "interesting" and "unique," but the Collectors are already as tough as the other factions without it, and it's probably the reason why PS3 players can't play Collectors.

Oh come'on stop complaining! Of course they are the top dog and should not be nerfed or else they will be boring. Collectors really horn your MP skills and compels you to try different things. They are highly unpredictable and thats why they are so much fun

Also, I don't think I've ever read a thread of yours that wasn't complaining about something. Not trying to be that guy; just an observation.

 

You people have strange perception about complaining. At least I make threads about the game and what should be done. 

And those "complains" are all legit and have basis and proof. 

While that may be true... you also ask for solutions that are more often than not, completely unrealistic.

Okay they can be harder but we should be rewarded more for playing against them

I never said it was a bad thing, AQ.

Collectors are x100 times better than BS Cerberus.

Possession mechanic is what makes collector bs but fun. It won't be removed and it should stay to make collectors feel more of unexpectable challenge

Like what? Nerfing an OP faction? Or giving more money? What was unrealistic? Ever? Asking for a patch? Decreasing Phantom DR? What? I dare you. I double dare you. 

All of that is unrealistic except for 'nerfing an OP faction'.

We're back to the same point. Other factions are either completely broken (Geth) or were totally changed and overbuffed (Cerberus with LoLgoons, faster Atlas DOT rockets, 101 engineers and turrets)  and Collectors with OP everything

Reapers have the perfect balance. Maybe too easy with maxed gear and chars, but they are ENJOYABLE with the least amount of BS. 

You're taking the weakest thing and saying that is perfect balance and that enemies should be balanced around that, because BioWare made some design choices you don't like so that means the other factions aren't balanced or are broken.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: If BioWare nerfed everything you personally complain about, this game would be way too easy. Gold would be as hard as Silver.

I also disagree that Reapers have perfect balance. They're pretty underpowered after all the power creep that has occurred, in my opinion.

They are insanely overpowered. I hate how cheap collectors are.

But they're not really unexpectable. The only time I've been "surprised" by possession was when I hammered a Praetorian only for it to survive. What did I do? I hammered it again and it died like it should have the first time.

I still remember laying in bed and watching Multiplayer teasers. I clearly remember someone saying "Reapers are the hardest faction"

Well now they're the easiest...

[ktong747]

Yeah they were hardest back when FBWGG existed in it's purest form. Grabbing Geth over counters was easier.

[Star fury]

I'd suggest
1) Nerfing scions damage.
2) Slowing praetorian's speed and fix his damned lasers.
3) Nerf health of abombinations.
4) Nerf seeker swarms to the ground.

[Tallgeese_VII]

They really should have added something for reaper.
Brutes and banshees are too harmless, make banshee stop teleporting and throw 4 warpballs at once then they will be much better challenge. Of course, it won't happen though

Possesion is actually a very good mechanic that already exists in most coop mmo dungeons in the form of enrage. The idea being that if you do not kill everything fast enough they enrage and wipe you. In mass effect it manifests as being a chance and the longer they are alive the more likely they are going to possess. In terms of difficulty I believe this to be an actual solid way of increasing difficulty rather than just slapping more bosses in your face and doubling their health (platinum) which is just kinda silly and not much harder for good players working fast and together.
if you don't like it you could always choose another faction. I mean yeah collectors are likely more difficult than the others but that's just how the game works one faction will always be hardest and the devs recognize it so they don't even show in plat unless you pick collectors or random them. So people who shouldn't be playing plat cant even **** about them showing up in every plat game.

I liked the way the factions were balanced at launch.

Cerberus was the easiest, but also very fun to play as. They would tactically assault your position and you'd have to think in order to beat them. Now Dragoons and Phantoms just chase you around the map until you get mowed down by a turret or get magnetsworded by a phantom.

Geth were slow to approach, but if you let them get close you were screwed, which was an interesting dilemma. Now they just stun you until you die, then stun you when you get back up until you die again. Worst faction IMO.

Reapers were a bit more difficult but if you played smart they weren't so bad. This was also back when the Banshee scream was still scary. Now that magnet hands isn't as much of an issue anymore, Reapers are the best faction to fight.

TL;DR - Balance at launch was better than it is now. Reapers haven't changed much so they're the best faction.
