you are walking inside a dark tunnel, you suddenly see a light at the far end, if you realize that its not the end of the tunnel but light from an incoming train, you'll be ready!

Alternatively if you saw a tunnel and begun walking down it, completely unaware of the fact that it was a train track in the first place... you're probably not ready...

Depends on who you ask. To summarise:

If you ask someone sensible: Once you feel comfortable on Gold.
If you ask someone on PC: Once you manifest hack. Also weapon stat modding.
If you ask Annomander: Real men play Insanity.
If you ask Megabeast: Once you start 6/6/6/6/6ing and have an Acolyte.
If you ask PuG A: Once you are N7 27
If you ask PuG B: Once you unlock the Adas and the Acolyte.
If you ask Lakook: Once your N7 is over 9000
If you ask Cain or Discipru: Once your friendly enough with them that they will carry you through Thunderdome.

 10/10 blips.

one is not simply "ready" for...nah, f*ck it nevermind.

just jump in OP. the fact that you're even asking makes you more qualified than 99% of the plat pugs out there now.

Precisely........ So, to sum it up, it all boils down to trains, tunnel and light...

Just try and see.

If you feel like you're an annoyance to your teammates, go back a difficulty.

^ this.

On the other hand, it sounds like you're quite comfortable with the ACA.  Maybe try that?  Especially if you can get together a team of other competent Adepts.

Unfortunately, as someone who mostly PUGs, I find it hard to find lobbies that aren't filled with complete trash for Platinum, which is one of the main reasons I stick mostly to Gold.

Man, I totally missed that one.  I hate missing a good BSN drama-fest.  And if it got deleted as opposed to simply locked, I'm sure it was a good one.

The OP in that thread was a superstar that regularily top scored in Platinum using no consumables. He said he could only do that with the TGI/Harrier and was looking for other kits that he could dominate Platinum with without using consumables   lol

BSN disagreed with him ...

Platinum is an over-the-top slugfest. Factions that would fight each other in lore working together?

It's like going to a concert only to stomp around in a mosh pit. Forget the music...

[nOeXTRACTION]

u will only know it, when u are tryin it. For me personally the step from silver to gold was bigger, than from gold to platinum.

There are just more mixed bosses running arround. If u know how to kill Banshees, phantoms, primes and atlasses effectly(Mob anyway), it should not be that prob for you. All that u can learn on Gold.

The enemies can take more damage on platinum, spawnbudget is bigger. But thats it.

Its not really that horror. Take a kit that u are good with on Gold. Even if u are not carrying games, it doesnt matter. Try to carry urself.

And i cant tell you what a lot of people tell here.

Even in PUGs u have very often really good players on platinum. So just give it a shot, use ur consumables and "learning by doing."

And maybe in a month you will come around here, bragging that u have carried some randoms. XD

The only problem I see are carebears.

All others?
Geth as enemy faction are heretics, that have no buisness fighting rippaz, and rippa troops don't have a lot of reasons to fight heretics.
Collectors are reapers.

As soon as you feel like you're ready for platinum.

I went straight from silver ---> platinum , based only off the fact that it pays 120k+ per game and i wanted new stuff !! lol. I failed ALOT at first, as i was still a new player.. , But honestly, it's good to goto platinum early and get a feel for it at least because once you get good at platinum... gold, silver, and bronze will feel like a walk in the park, I personally feel like platinum mode is a great teacher of the games mechanics, I just paid attention a lot to what the other players were doing, how they were winning.. Etc. My real viable entry combo into platinum mode was the N7 Fury & Firebase Giant. I remember that after being carried for a few platinum games i had unlocked the N7 fury, she looked so cool but to be honest i didn't have any idea how to use it lol i had no knowledge of what a good build was, So one day, i looked up n7specops video on how to use it, that was my last day of being carried through platinum, literally, after that ... I started destroying platinum, eventually branching out and learning new builds, and never went back to a different mode than platinum, Loved the challenge, Loved the reward. 5-6 months later here i am, a platinum wh0re .

If you are comfortable with gold you can play plat; the only real difference imo is that you encounter the "bosses" earlier in the rounds and you'll also have a "mixed" round (i.e. if you're playing reapers you might have a round that also includes Atlases). Also, play with a character/build you're completely familiar and comfortable with, don't go in thinking "hey I've always wanted to try this" b/c you're going to likely get crushed, unless you're "try this" is the kroguard. Remember to stick w/ your team and be a teammate, don't be a hero. And the most important thing is, right hand advantage. I'd say "have fun" but this is BSN, so it's frowned upon.

[EXTRACT10NP01NT]

For me it was when I caught myself not using cyclonic or shield gear in gold. I also found if I tried to contribute and not dominate I'd actually score higher and stopped taking naps in the middle of a wave. After all you don't score many points checking the grout between the tiles on the floor?

Try it...bottom line play smart and use equipment that compliments your character/team. I've used warp ammo a lot for damage even if not a real benefit to my character. If there were biotics, you prime they boom, makes thing go faster.

Favorite are HM Soldier, QM Infiltrator and QF Engineer
