Multiplayer Balance Changes Feedback.
Having played some matches of multiplayer on the new patch, I can say it's mostly a step in the right direction. Here are my thoughts.
1. Gun Balance

In my opinion those gun buffs do little to stop the requirement of snipers in Gold. Most guns are still barely usable in silver.
MP even after this patch is a waste of time with so few options and classes that can effectively run gold.
I do agree combo power damage is pathetic at silver/gold levels.
So back to SP, finish the game and move on to another. The direction so far from Bioware is not what my friends and I would like to see.
Agreed, hopefully many many more buffs are coming. Snipers are by far the way to go. Anything else is nothing but a handicap. I currently enjoy bronze from a gameplay stand point, but hoping they increase the effectiveness of all weapons soon. Also, NO NERFS! Nothing that the player can use should be nerfed. Things are only viable currently, not op in any way.
Assault rifles are completely useless on gold with the exception of the M37 Falcon and that's literally, hit and miss.
Pistols are useless on Gold bar the Scorpion, seeing a pattern here.
I just dont even use shotguns, ever so i dunno. Tbh i havent seen anyone pugging with a shotgun on gold or at least not getting credit for their kills with one.
The balance on bronze is fine, leave it alone.
Silver and gold is what needs fixing - semi-auto AR's on gold are a timewaste in their current state. The burst fire and full automatic AR's are almost as bad, with massive penalties to accuracy particularly with full auto (Revenant, Thokin Avenger) and very little damage when they do hit. For example, hosting a gold run earlier with 3 others, i took the Revenant on a human female soldier, level 20 with full whack points in weapon damage etc.. Point blank, in the face, 100 rounds more than half missed. By that time i'd lost more than half my health and had to find cover and reload - that was one single mob, no armour, no shield, not a special, just trash. My aim isnt that bad, and i was shooting full auto at point blank..
That's not balanced, not even remotely.
On the other side, the Raptor full auto sniper rifle is by far the best gun in the game at the moment, solid damage, great accuracy and holds a good amount in each clip. This is how AR's should be functioning, SR's (specifically the raptor) should be above that in scale.
Oh, the menu changes and character selection level up icon, nice one for that. That was needed too.
I completely agree! Bronze is fun and fine, it's how the difficulty scales. They didn't make the game mechanically difficult as you go up, just dramatic increases in health that make most guns un usable. They are either good damage or innacurate as all hell or accurate and nerf guns. I am sure they are going to fix it but currently I won't touch anything above bronze, just too bullet spongie.
