Seriously, did they not play test this AT ALL on insanity difficulty?

I have ME2 sitting on my desk at the moment, but when I got it I was half way through my "perfect" playthrough on ME1. Basically doing every single side quest possible, which of course includes pinnacle station, all on insanity difficulty.

For the last 9 HOURS of my 71 hour file (3rd playthrough) I have been trying to do A) Volcanic hunt and  Tropical time trial.

Theres still 4 more challenges after I finish these two, then the big thing at the end.. all of which from what I have read on the internet, are alot easier than these two.

I just can't believe they didn't test this.. Theres a point where something is difficult and a point where something becomes frustrating, rage inducing trial and error bull****. I've completed almost every single game I have ever played on the hardest difficulty setting, whether it be CoD on veteran, Ninja gaiden 2 on master ninja, etc etc..

BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE... THERE IS NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING as hard as this in the rest of my video game libary. It is near impossible to complete these two missions, I've looked through every single god-damn result in the google search engine looking for help but still I can't do it..

My grenades go through walls, enemies spawn across the map, enemies get stuck behind walls when I use my biotic powers, enemies take 3-5 seconds to kill on insanity and only give me 1 second more on time (on hunt), what the HELL do they expect me to do? 

TL;DR - Pinnacle station is near impossible on insanity difficulty, I have the best gear available in the entire game yet still come nowhere close to beating either time trial tropical or hunt volcanic... AND I'M RAGING ABOUT IT.. heres to 9 hours of my life wasted and more to come as I refuse to play ME2 until I completely 100% ME1...

Do you have any tips for me for tropical time trial or volcanic hunt?

I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I really don't. I can't get any tungsten/shredder rounds because I'm level 60, maybe that is the problem?

I haven't been this frustrated with something in a LONG time..

[AntiChri5]

It is also stupidly, rediculously laughably easy on casual.



It has to be the worst DLC i have ever gotten. After the first time i completed it on insanity i resolved to always do Pinacle Station on casual.

[WrexEffex]

So you're b*tching to Bioware because you're not skilled enough to beat it? Cool dude.

*rolls eyes*

Whatt is your class and bonus skill?

[UndercoverDoctor]

Deal with it.

[Sageless Ranger]

Im a soldier, use best assault rifle/shotgun, with inferno rounds X, and 2 of the upgrades that cool the weapon, forgot wat its called, so I never overheat.

I'm a 60 Soldier Storm Trooper, I have no bonus skill as this was my original character...

I have been using Liara+Wrex on Time Trial Tropical to try and constantly knock enemies out of bounds and kill them, but half of the time they get stuck in walls and what not, which basically means game over. That really sucks because I have to wait for the 25 second cut scene of shepard walking out of the simulator and ahern talking every single time I fail, then talk to the salarian to start again.. UGH

I just don't get it, I run CONSTANTLY. I never stop moving for a second, I kill most of them instantaneously if they don't get stuck in a wall.

If ONE enemy pops immunity or shield boost, its game over. I can't let even one of them do it or it will take 5 seconds to kill them, which means game over. I have to constantly grenade/biotic spam them as soon as they spawn or its yep.. game over..

I feel like paying a asian to beat this for me or something, i just cant do it... but I MUST!

I also need to know what class you were using as Hunt is broken for certain classes.

Edit:Nvm, that explains it.  Soldiers were able to breeze through it, all the other classes were essentially screwed.

Isn't that would should be expected from INSANITY difficulty?

I use the best spectre assault rifle and the best shotgun, but I try not to swap weapons while running as it wastes time..

My assault rifle never overheats, I use inferno rounds X + Rail extension(26%+ damage) + the upgrade that cools your gun to stop it from overheating.

I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong... I must of done time trial at least 50 times and volcanic hunt at least 30-40 too if not more..

No, Hunt was pretty obviously broken.  Look at some threads for Volcanic Hunt and Tropical Hunt.

My soldier is so good that he can basically solo a thresher maw/geth colossus even if it takes ages for me to kill them, I NEVER die.. The rest of the game is a complete BREEZE compared to the difficulty which is pinnacle station..

[Sageless Ranger]

I honestly have no clue how you are having trouble, you have all of the right stuff.

[AntiChri5]

Enemies that use Immunity can be impossible to kill (in any decent time) without Warp. It does constant damage while severly reducing their protection from damage so you can load an endless stream of bullets from the Assault rifle into them.

[Behindyounow]

Technically Bioware didn't make Pinnacle station.

[Zedereka]

The time trial one was easy for me, just had my biotic teammates lift and throw everyone that got specifically in my way and sprinted a lot *I'm a soldier so i can take a lot of punishment, Immunity and shield boost rock*



However with that damn volcanic hunt it took a few hours of trial and error for me to figure it out but i had my teammates as snipers on the railway that gives you the high ground and while i holed up in the area were my teammates couldn't see, forcing the geth to spawn out in the open, and basically Assault rifled to death anything that spawned or moved out of cover. *I almost murdered my passing roommate who asked me how it was going*



It took a while for me to get the point and go order to my teamates to the right spot but once i got that, i managed to get enough kills. But just barely.

One of the worst things about difficulty in ME 1 is that they dont become harder, they just take forever to die. Which means you get bored in combat and cut corners, which is the only time you die. Insanity makes enemies not a threat but often almost invulnerable. Which really sucks because some of the simulations are time based.

[Switch296]

Ok I'm gunna go have another few trys at this time trial.. I'm gunna keep trying to knock enemies out of the map, warp them once they are all up in the air or warp the guy that I occasionally miss, warp warp warp..



I really hope I can get this.. then I only have volcanic hunt to do.. which is going to be a nightmare but still...

[Sensorie]

Demiurge Studios, not BioWare.

[Detsu]

You might want to try swapping Liara out for Ash. If knocking enemies out of the map isn't working, maybe a direct damage strategy might?

[psyman]

Not sure why anyone would subject themself to Pinnacle Station on Insanity. I did almost everything on Casual (playing Hardcore up to that point) except the last mission. I really just wanted that awesome pad you get. I was finally able to realise my space dream of owning all 3 Geth Armoury Krogan Rage/Berserker/Battlemaster X armours.

[Switch296]

YES!!! I DID THE TIME TRIAL! With 7 seconds to spare I might add!



Hahahaha yes! Oh this feels so good...



Now for the real challenge! Volcanic hunt... Anyone got any tips for that?



Also THANKS to whoever said use warp, its what made me win just then. I was spamming it constantly between wrex and liara and kicked some serious ass! Woo hoo oh man thats cool..

Always happy to help out a fellow Aussie. Also i have heard that warp stacks with itself (have not tested this myself) . So if there is someone who REALLY pisses you off Doublewarp him!
