The point of my off-topic-ness earlier was to point out that N7 Challenge weekends get flooded with people that play gold (geth farm) but still can't do anything helpful once the challenge starts. It's typically not a lack of skill, but a lack of "give a damn". Most of them don't want to get better when they can just farm geth and get almost every unlock/CE-weapon without trying. Technically a Salarian Engineer and any Infiltrator can duo the geth on firebase white without much effort.

I play gold exclusively unless I'm leveling a class from 1. I do it for the challenge, because I enjoy not-rofl-stomping everything instantly, or near-instantly. I feel as though I actually have to fight to survive gold some times, and I love that. I just get annoyed by how bad geth-farmers actually are when not fighting a specific foe on a specific map, that's all.

I'm a farmer for sure, but not because it's the only thing I can manage.  No, it's because the strategy for that map is well known, and most people on other maps :? .   No matter what map you are on you need some kind of game plan, and everytime I've played other stages the game plan included everyone running around the map dying a lot-while a sound stragey for losing, I found it lacking for anything else.  I think if I knew other people that owned the game that I talked to on a regular basises and could form reliable teams I'd be right there with ya playing all the stages...however I have to make the most of what I have to deal with.  :P

One of the main reasons I play MP is for these weekend events. Being nowhere near ready for gold (still completing silvers consistently), it made me sad to see them make the commendation pack tied into completing a gold mission.

That said, even if I did manage to complete one gold run, I'd probably still end up getting a useless hurricane upgrade like I did for the previous 2.


LOL I got 2 Hurricanes from the previous chalanges too. Hope on something better/useful, or at least different this time.

i get so frustrated when people constantly cancel out my warps-throws....



^ This.  *sigh*


I had a couple of silver games, did okay.  I didn't get to try gold yet, because a) I kept getting kicked and could not actually start a game; it's pretty disheartening to be judged before you even play, and B) the entire first day of the challenge I kept getting dc'd *literally* every two stuffing minutes.  Couldn't get past wave 2 or 3 in ANY game.  So I gave up in disgust.  :(  Oh well, maybe next time....

I believe it is 1 pack only regardless of how many golds you finished.

I was wondering, do you still get Commendation pack, if the challenge fails, but you pass the gold mission? Well I don't realy think, that it will fail, with the brand new support of the PS3 owners (congrats).

The commendation pack is if you and your entire team makes it all the way through gold and gets extracted. If one team member dies and fails to get extracted or if a team member is not in the LZ for extraction when time runs out the commendation pack earning fails. The victory pack only gets rewarded if the challenge itself is a success.

I know about the extraction part, my question is do you get the comm pack (if you completed the gold challenge part) even if the Phantom challenge is failed.

 other way around only 1 person needs to make it to extraction. I know its PS3 users first weekend but this info is factual and known. 

1. Commendation Pack awarded after tuesday for getting atleast one member to extraction on any gold map.

Is there any way of tracking how many phantoms were killed this weekend? I feel like I killed about a million myself! ;p

Oh how I wish.  You could have a little counter on the main menu, under the Galactic Map.

Why cant they just use Greenwich mean time like the rest of the civilized world?


Because even fewer people know how to translate GMT to their own timezone than know what PST stands for and considering most of the people who post here are probably in North America, GMT is useless to most of us.

I fully expect that the first million was made on the first day. Adding the PS3 players into the count is more then enough to push the numbers up way above the expected goal.

You can keep your GMT over there with "the rest of the civilized world" for all I care. When the game is developed, stationed in and majority of players are from Europe I'll be more than happy to go off that. Till then, we'll just keep doing things the snobby North American way.

No really... GMT is used when you need to discuss time related issue over various time zone.

The military call it Zulu time, and in civil aviation it's called UTC time. The US does the same.

(Btw, I'm in EDT time zone, just like new york)
