Quick question: is this bonus XP actually going to be a percentage? It sounds like a stupid question, but the "percentage" bonuses you get for "unknown map/unknown enemy" are not percentages but flat amounts. For example, the "unknown map" bonus is always 2500 XP, not a percentage. Is this weekend's bonus going to work the same way?

Are you in a position to comment as to whether or not next weekend's challenge will include PS3 users?

YES can you answer this? 
Very curious to know if the "kinks" have been permanently worked out

This is actually incorrect, you get another bonus because of unknown map.
The bonus for unknown map shows up per kill etc.  

Kill a cerberus trooper on a known map with setting a cerberus on Bronze (not during this event) you will get 220 xp if you solo kill with a weapon. If you have an unknown map it will be 242xp then you will get another bonus IF you complete wave 10

I stand corrected, then.  Thanks for the clarification!

You can take your xp and shove it. How about you give us something that is actually useful, you know like credits? Why not a +25% credit and xp boost. Not fair to those with maxed out characters.

It's cool that next weekend's event will be based on promoting- this makes this event much more attractive. I think it'd still be nice if there were a community objective that would get us all just the victory pack if we accomplished it (I mean, it was essentially just a vet pack, right?), like mopping up weakened forces and killing 3 million cannibals or husks. I think that would be a good way to stretch out the special rewards while giving a significant incentive to those who already play a bunch (not so much the reward as the goal; how many people were keeping track of their brute kills long after they qualified for the commendation pack? It feels like an accomplishment).

Of course, these events aren't really designed for players like me. I was going to be playing this weekend no matter what. They want people who wouldn't normally be playing to be going at it. So I probably shouldn't be whining about it when it doesn't matter if it's something I want or not.

On a tangential subject, is there an official forum for making suggestions for future challenges? I bet some of the guys kicking around the community have some great ideas. They might need to be scaled back for the community at large (a gold-centric challenge isn't really friendly to the more casual players, you know?), but it'd be fun to see what we can cook up.

Edit: Holy crap, Kenshin, there's no reason to be uncivil about this. And look at it this way: we'll be benefitting from more casual players playing more and getting better. I'd take more reliable teammates in PUGs over a chance for a shiny pack any day!

So...maybe we should hold off on promoting until we find out what that challenge is?

As a PS3 player I do want to thank BioWare for making sure by the second week of challenges we could play and get rewarded too, as long as we get the same rewards as PC and 360 users I'll be 100% satisfied and thank you again.

PS I would have played the game either way this weekend BUT I really do appreciate being able to be apart of these weekend events

i really dont need the extra XP but i have a friend that finally picked up ME3 today so its a perfect way to get them caught up which is nice.

just so its clear about how the bonuses stack. if i have both settings to unknown plus this extra XP perk that would mean an extra 50% XP so if i kill a cerberus trooper in Bryan's example i would get 330 points instead of 220?

Know what I do not really play multiplayer, I am a single player gamer. But because of it helps me raise my galactic readiness in the SP campaign, it force me to try this out. Surprisingly, i found this multiplayer okay. Weird enough, it is quite addictive and enjoyable. Love shooting those cerberus troops and geths and reapers. Got to practice my shooting tactics, particularly long range sharpshooter + headshots.

Thanks for letting PS3 users join this MP weekend event. Can easily level up my other characters.

Thank you bioware for introducing me to MP. I am indeed an MP indoctrinated :)

While an XP bonus weekend doesn't really interest me, these events are nice. They're small little things but can add a tremendous amount of life to the multiplayer.

Hopefully there will be a +credit weekend :D

 Give people a bag of gold and they will complain about the bag.

All of my characters are max level, and I intend to promote a few to take advantage of this bonus.  Thanks Bioware.
