My powers work just fine. Gold is doable. I am enjoying it and they are improving it fast - 2 weeks for a not insignificant patch. I will not be participating as this is borderline childish and stinks of misplaced entitlement. It's perfectly playable and, despite the game's size and complexity they pushed an update out that not only fixed known issues but also contained reactionary changes to post-launch fan feedback, along with a promise to keep improving and iterating over time to make the game better.
If you think they're not paying any attention to multiplayer then you are ill-informed, and my guess would be that you have no patience or any understanding or appreciation for what goes in to updating a game of this size and complexity, testing that patch, and jumping through the validation hoops for 3 different platforms, never mind how many hours of complex work people have to put in to make the changes you want to see.
I'll see all the grown-ups with real-world perspective online :D
Nanostronghold, when red bar enemies on bronze have about 800 health (about double on silver), 10-20 damage per shot isn't gonna do anything. I feel as if everyone who says the game is fine really just doesn't play above bronze. Go run a mattock/shotgun only build (only useful shotty is piranha) on gold on Andromeda, then go to ME3 with the same setup, then come tell us how it's good.
HalfthemanMarco, the majority of my Gold runs are using biotics and a pistol and I top the scoreboard, and have managed extractions whilst pulling >10k point players along with me. No I don't only play bronze. Yes I can manage with the game balance the way it is.
Comparing something to ME3 and it being worse doesn't mean its unbalanced. They are different games with different mechanics and different enemies. Besides, we know Bioware are, and will continue to, rebalance the multiplayer. Comparing freshly-released Andromeda with ME3 with a full life-cycle of balance patches isn't a particularly valid comparison anyway.
I ain't the best gamer in the universe, but if I can learn to play around my equipment's strengths and weaknesses then I'm sure you can.
The problem is, the team that made this game were the team that made ME3 multiplayer, there isn't an excuse for the lack of balance if they had all that data to go from. "New enemies" doesn't mean they just all have to be flat out more difficult lol.
I am more than 100 percent ok with the avenger and any other starter weapon not being viable on gold, but silver is a must.
