Multiplayer level 20 cap? seriously?
Will they raise the level cap and eventually introduce platinum difficulty?
Otherwise multip. will soon become boring and pointless
Is there a specifice site/section for suggestions on Andromeda?...

Community AdminThanks for the feedback.
At this time when you hit 20 you can reset your level and get a global bonus for all your characters, so you can grow the passive stats of all your characters.
I don't have any details on what will be added later on, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's similar development to how ME3 MP went.
EA_David, are you sure about that? People have done testing and all it does is bump Apex rating a tiny bit, which is mostly completely useless. Are you thinking about Bonus Stats? because those are completely unrelated to resetting char level as implemented right now.
And what if you maxed out a char cap less and the matches become boring..you stop playing, starting a different game, whine till that games caps are removed aswell to move on again when it became bored. Instead of starting over at reached cap to try a different build and play a few month longer.
Hm what should EA do, modify the game so that you move on earlier and probably dont purchase all DLC´s because you lost the intresst in ME;A or leave the game like it is and earn more money from you? Difficult question, isnt it? Fakt is, the more you can reach in a single game, the less often you start a new one.

@Alicondria Yes I was referring to Bonus Stats. I haven't had a chance to play enough MP to confirm it, but I was under the impression that the Bonus stat levels line up with hitting level 20? There's the little Apex rating bump, but I thought that hitting 20 will also give you just enough XP to gain a level of that kit's Bonus stat. Sorry if I'm misinformed here.
@Simpson3k As I understand the loop is more to build a "stable" of characters, and reset them from time to time to build up your base stats. Thank you for the feedback though.
- If this is true, and you really do get that 1% bonus to Stat X every time you hit 20, that could be somewhat useful, although you'd have to hit 20 x100 to simpy double your healt o_O and that would take 5,000-10,000 hours of playtime @5 hours per 1%... 208 straight days of non-stop play... to double 1 stat...
- But honestly all I really want is to be able to max all my Multiplayer skill trees... feel like I'm playing only half a character no matter which way I spec.
I strongly disagree, the level 20 cap is there for good reason. It encourages you to try out different builds for the same character, wich can play very different. It worked well for ME3 and it works just as well for ME:A. In fact i think you get 1p more than in ME3 allowing for slightly different standard builds (For instance 6-6-6-6-1 instead of the old 6-6-6-5-3).
Also instead of resetting all characters of the same class you can now (only) respec individuals more easily without relying on the very limited number of random box-loot respecs in ME3. So that part is already easier.
My friends and I have tested the "reset" of a character. It does nothing but bump the APEX by 25. There is a different prestige section that counts all XP from the characters that add to that stat (whether they are level 20 or not) and you will get a bump when that hits the XP rating. However, the XP necessary to get a 1% increase is greater than the XP to get to level 20....
And then it is like 2X that to get the next bump. You will have to play A LOT of hours to get anything meaningful out of those stats. Also, if you don't really like those classes you are stuck not getting a bonus as you can't control where the XP goes - it is set by character.
Either tie to bonus stats to resetting a character like it was originally said to be - or allow us to play whatever character we want and let us pick where the XP goes. Those are my suggestions.
- How do you get a char to 10? Loot boxes?
Also, the bonus stats need to be something meaningful like 10% per level or MUCH MUCH less xp per level for a pathetic 1%. It's literally not worth persuing at this point.
