...it will take a player around 4-62 weeks to get all four of the weapons, and then it will take 16-80 weeks to get one to level 10.


How are these timeframes calculated?


two weeks per weapon unlock, 4 weapons to unlock, 10 max levels. Maximum of 31 unlocks to recieve all four weapons, 40 total unlocks. Two events already passed. 2x2=4. 31x2=62. 8x2=16. 40x2=80.

Technically, that should be 4-58 and 16-76, as we've already done got two.

Cool....maybe we wont get anymore bonus xp weekends....i dont even notice those...

give us some hardcore stuff


Yup.  I hope its obvious to the ME braintrust that XP bonus weekends are lost on lvl 20 chars...which is what the OP seems to imply will be required for the next weekend challenge.   I'd prefer bonus coin and/or better special bonus packs with "real" stuff in them - no more character XP cards please.

And I agree with other posters here that the best challenges involve the scary bosses - Banshees and Phantoms.  Forget about the Geth - nothing really scary there.

I would hate to see what happens to you if you were dumped by a g/f or b/f or both.

I hope we get more complex goals. My favorite one was the Brute-killing challenge. Maybe we can have another like that, but with more variety? Like a weekend where every task wave against the Reapers is a "take out the targets" wave and we need to take out a couple million high-value targets to get the Victory pack?


A couple million? That is roughly 13,889 targets per hour if you played for 72 hours nonstop or 41,667 if you were to play for 8 hours straight for three days. I could see maybe 50 but a million?

Im glad they're spending more time focusing on the operations - now if they'd only spend more time on getting balance issues right and fixing the terrihorribad store system.

God, I hate Banshees. Just the sound of them makes me clench up. If you're playing mulitplayer and you notice one of your squadmates running away from the Banshee and aiming at her from the other side of the map...that's probably me. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Try using sensable math.
4 weapons, 10 total levels, first unlock IS level on...so only 40 total cards need gotten...one unlock every 2 weeks...means 80 total weeks needed, and since 2 of the unlocks are already out...78 more weeks till the people who started with Opp 1 have all 4 lvl X weapons.

78 weeks left.

I think you'll find that I DID that using sensible math. there are 40 upgrades, we get one challenge per week, we've already had two, that means that minimum (exploits excluded) the most a person can have is 2 of one weapon. that means that to get all weapons up to 10, it'll be 38 more upgrades. Therefore, the maximum (for anyone participating from the beginning) is 76, not 78.

Also, it is 62 maximum to have all weapons as there is a chance, while very low, still possible, that you could recieve three of the N7 weapons as level 10 weapons before unlocking the next, therefore, the maximum to unlock all weapons would be 31, as there are 4 weapons, getting 3 up to level 10 makes 30, plus the one to unlock the other weapon. So, 2x31=62, taking away the two we already have, which is the equivalent of 4 weeks, that's 58. That part's pretty tight, I have checked multiple times.

you imply that we either need 41 unlocks, or that challenge-one people only have one weapon. So I think you'll find that it is 76 weeks, which is around 18 months maximum, or 1 and a half years. Also note that is if we do not get cut short again by packs not providing us with the N7 weapons, or if more weapons are introduced into said packs. I think you'll find that my math is on the spot with what information we currently have.

PS. Don't attempt to stand someone up who is using statistics if you're going to fail at putting correct statistics in.

Whilst I'm not going to **** about my slight disappointment (yet understanding) of this choice.

Chris, could you ask your higher ups ONE thing: When the multiplayer weekends finally end, will we have access to packs containing the N7 rewards offered by these weekends? I'd hate to finish with my weapons not maxed out.

Further more, will we ever have a chance at the N7 Valkyrie Rifle, Argus Rifle, Chakram Launcher, Indra Sniper and Raider Shotgun, for multiplayer?

We're not exactly entitled to these event weekends that BioWare is doing for the community. Besides, every other weekend has been a "results" weekend so far anyway.

Really now, some people are surprised by the scaling down of MP weekends?

Wasn't the whole point of them to get us to stop talking about the terri-bad ending for a while?

This weekend, April 20-22, we will not be hosting an N7 Operation.  Moving forward we will be offering our N7 Operations every other weekend.  We realize that we have thousands of N7 operators, and this new cadence will allow us to create and execute the best possible Operations for the community.

In the meantime, stay tuned for some cool upcoming features on www.MassEffect.com, and blog.bioware.com.  This weekend we bring an update from the war front, the latest from the Alliance News Network.

Make sure you prepare your multiplayer squad because next weekend, April 27-29, is Operation Exorcist.  The Alliance needs the best, we will show the enemy no mercy.

:devil:


my favorite part is how it would take years to get each n7 weapon to 10 at this rate. exactly how long do u think mass effect 3 will be relevant to peoples interest?

you people out there complaining about this do realize that they really don't have to do any of this. All these extras are a BONUS, and you should be glad that they support the game so well. I've seen other companys that don't go half as far to keep their fans happy.
