Has this even started? I would get 210k each game on Silver. I just played 1 game and got 217k.

I'm not a math major, but I'm pretty sure 25% of 210k is more than 7k.

Consider brutes the easiest elite to take down, I guess from a 'lore' perspective it make sense though considering last weekends event.

As to the exp boost, um...I can take a toon 1-20 in one night without this buff. What is the point? Helping casuals? Regardless; weapons and class choice > char levels.

Still happy BW is hosting these events instead of none at all. Thanks!

While utterly useless to me, some people on my friends list have low-level characters, this could help them. Then again even if they do level-up bit faster, their equipment / class options are going to suck all the same.

Too bad its not some objective with item pack reward again, but I guess the PS3 crowd would cry too much.

25% XP, that's it?

Well, better than nothing.

That also stacks with the bonuses from unknown map and unknown enemy.

A suggestion for future item rewards:

Have a reward pack contain either an item/character that you DON'T already have, so everyone would be guaranteed to get something new.

No one had the N7 weapons. I got the horrible Hurricane (which hurts my wrist from trying to constantly compensate for how it climbs toward the ceiling when fired without ever fallng back down even when you stop, which isn't slightly justified by its low damage, unimpressive even on Bronze compared to a solid, accurate gun like the Locust) instead of the Valiant that I desperately wanted.

Now every time I see someone's Valiant kill pop up, my heart cracks. And that is happening a LOT, both when I play with friends and with strangers. A LOT.

On top of that, I keep getting hit by the store's "failed purchases" bug--credits are gone, they don't get refunded, and the items don't materialize afterwards (or only half of them do--I took careful stock of what I had before and the results cannot be predicted.) So even my normal items aren't what they should be. Now I get saddled with the awful Hurricane after busily killing brutes all Goliath weekend.

I hope the drops next time aren't random, or that I at least have another chance to get my beloved Valiant. It's all I want. Maybe I'm lame, but I love MP, and to snipe with that gun would be a dream come true. A small dream, but a dream nonetheless.

UPDATE: NEXT WEEKEND'S CHALLENGE WILL INVOLVE PROMOTION OF CHARACTERS TO EARN REWARDS - TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPERATION: FORTRESS TO PREPARE :)

Since a lot of people are still like, "BUH, WHAT IS THIS FOR? STUPID WEEKEND..." I'm quoting this. It's what I expected when I saw the first post. 

Looks like I'll be getting my characters up to 20, then. Wish I hadn't just promoted that Engineer, but at least I've got the others fairly high level already.

I think you should expect a lot more leechers this week end, already started...

I just leave the game when I spot one and message the others about him.

I think this weekends, as good as they can be are also having some issues. Since the event started, I have been suffering lag all across all matches.

When I first noticed this, I was playing Vanguard when there was a 2 seconds delay in using skills. Later right before i start writing this, as a Sentinel I couldn't land even a Throw at 1m distance. The skills are no taking the curve they used to be.

yeah this is wayyyyyy harder then before. and 25% exp who cares.....  not liking, but am liking that at least ps3 is included and hopefully on all events not just sucky events like this, going forward. 

and I am hoping that next weeks event that involves promoting characters is really awesome. pretty much all my characters were already at or near top level.

Confirm it's on. Might need to stop playing and re-enter to trigger the message.
Like the weekends. Hope they'll be weekly. Like regular weekends.
Some issues with powers not affecting (Shockwave, mostly), but good fun.
Promoted Adept, now back on 20. That's what you should do, if you're all maxed out. Promote. Feel the thrill of a Bronze Match, show the Newbies the ropes. Exhilarating.
Guess it's all about the Creds for you, though. Pity. Still a lot of "I want all kills because I rock and should get all the creds, too" in TEAM. People can't read, must be why.
Or people needy to brag. "What's this for? Help the Casuals? Anyone under Lvl 20 and N7 200 in my game, I vote to kick, rage-quit, text-hate on them, that'll show 'em. I'm the man. Until Mom comes home. Then she's the man. Bigger Moustache, and all."
One word that should be banned on this thread: "want".

Think. Play. Help. Enjoy.

More. People crying. "Already on Level 20". "Can't get Respec Card."

Promote. Build again. Try something different. Don't get stuck.

See more. Try more. Enjoy more.

Hearing my bud talk about the stuff he got from operation goliath on the xbox while i had the ps3 is really getting old, is bioware gonna give ps3 users a chance to get the victory or commendation packs, because i could care less about 25% exp (no offense to bioware)

It's the only reason to promote. Why else would I promote a 20 lvl build that works on gold?

I'm afraid I'll have hard time finding gold matches next weekend. Looks like a lot of people are going to promote.

Another promotion? Cool. Keep it up Bioware.

Also a little hope/suggestion; I'm hoping during many of these events you guy will offer the N7 weapon packs frequently. Many of us like/want to use our special N7 weapons but there are no reliable (read:honest) ways to upgrade them unless you guys use them as rewards on a regular basis. Just a thought.

It's similar, although when you promote a character you also gain 75 war assets per character promoted in single player. Basically these characters leave the multiplayer world and go to become a war asset for your single player games, giving you the opportunity to train a new level 1 team again.

I'd much rather have a rare gun bonus weekend again, but oh well. Guess XP can be nice too for people that really need it.

Well, it's a pity that every character only gets to a maximum of 20 level. Without these event though, it could be achieved quickly.
