Finished it yesterday on gold full extraction but no commendation pack when should I get it then.


After the event is over, on Tuesday or Wednesday like usual. It's not over yet.


Don't forget to add a few extra days to account for the expected "unforseen problems".

don't forget the "rare glitch" that happens to nearly everyone.

OMG... did a game in the lunch break, host lvl9/n7-9 sentinel, one AA level 1 N7-1 (first game?), me GE lvl20 N7-290, and another GI about my level. The two geth and the host with mic. Condor/Geth/Gold

First comment: "lvl1 n7-1 is not going to survive", general shrug and LOLs... the host (lvl7-n7-7) agreed... ( LOL )

wave 1 the two low N7 dropped down few times

wave 2 almost nobody did it to the end of the wave (I'm a terrible solo) and the two gets where holding the hill like Custer... (Dying...)

wave 3 all killed and fold in the 4 hacking round......

was such a slaughter. I hope that that LVL n7 1 will understand that this is not SP.... ;)))) (fun nonetheless)

I don't care when they get around to it, I just don't want to lose all my equipment/consumables like I did last time.

Proud to say I killed exactly 0 Banshees this weekend. Seriously, these weekends are getting boring as all hell. Most groups I joined this weekend just played randoms, and we never got Reapers, and nobody cared.

Why bother going out of your way to kill xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Banshees if the "reward" (and I use the word while laughing scathingly) is a pack with 3 items in it that you can get from a freaking equipment pack?

Up in two weeks, kill 4 million Atlasses, with your reward being yet another (bleepy) Victory pack which contains absolutely NOTHING of value in any way whatsoever.

Everybody now : woot woot? :?

(And before everyone starts whining, I got my squad goal, so I'll get another number added to my weird sniper-shotgun. I think that's not really all that great either, but at least it's SOMETHING. The community goals, however, are just plain pathetic.)

It ain't the destination that counts, it's the journey (from the mindset of someone who likes challenges).

Yup, you're doing it wrong in every way imaginable.

but the journey is the same no matter what I play. So why bother to go out of your way trying to kill banshees?

Hey, to each their own, but meh. Like I said, every lobby I joined this weekend was set to Random, and nobody cared that we never random'ed onto Reapers. If you want people to make some kind of effort to join in a weekend like this, perhaps hanging a slightly bigger carrot out would work.

That's weird, I had just as much fun killing Cerb and Geth this weekend as I would have Reapers. Try not to get blown off your pretty ivory tower, buddy! The wind can get pretty gusty up there, I hear.

But... what if getting the reward IS the fun of the challenge?

It's be nice if the community goals awarded at least an uncommon card, maybe a rare/ultra-rare.
Right now the appeal of the multiplayer is vanishing because of the faulty unlock system. People get frustrated unlocking the same character customization over and over again. :\\

Firebase Dagger with 2 Asari Justicars (not me), an Asari Adept (me) and a poor Quarian who got left out a lot destroyed on Firebase Dagger. We kept in the roundabout in the building, with two bubbles for blowing up Banshees and Brutes, and Biotic Explosions from a distance. In case a Justicar got grabbed, I spammed Warp for. Quick life saving BE, and my trusty Eviscerator for kicks and giggles. The only danger was the uploads. Full Extraction on Gold.
Tip: Biotic Death squads are OP on Dagger.

I like the challenge, however, it is getting frustrating opening a victory pack, or a premium specter pack and getting only upgrades for weapons I don't use, or character card for characters that are already fully upgraded, and I have a LOT of other stuff that can get unlocked!

That's not a fault, it's just random. But yeah, right now I would prefere Cobras and med gels over those character cards. After this weekend im down to about three each.

The jokes are pretty bad in here, I see. If you don't want to help out the community and kill Banshees then that's fine, but no one wants to hear nor cares about how you didn't do something.

Some people see the weekend events as a good incentive to play and to others they're more of a false incentive since they don't offer much else than they can normally get their hands on, though that doesn't necessarily mean they're just playing for incentives. People play the game differently and neither are wrong since play style is a personal thing. Though there probably is some argument regardless of how you play that the rewards could be a bit more generous.

Also, I actually managed to get a full extract on Gold. I don't think I had played Gold since mistakenly going into a game in the MP Demo (though I didn't realise the host had changed to Gold this time either untl a few seconds before the match lol). I was playing with two Geth Infiltrators (who seemed happy enough to carry us) and one other guy (can't recall what he was).

It was a round on Firebase White with Geth where we bunkered down in the small room behind the computer consoles near the bottom of the map (near the walkways at the edge). I held my own alright for a noob (I was around level 12 to 15 or there about), but I still needed a few revives.

Near the last minute the two guys playing Geth said they'll make a run for it just before the end, so I kept an eye out, but since they were cloaked most of the time I didn't see them leave and I'm in a small room with three Prime's and a couple of Flamethrower Geth troopers. It wasn't until I heard them calling for me that I realised they'd already ran for it. Still I managed to run to the L.Z. in time with barely thirty seconds to go.

I know, I know. Cool story, bro. Right? lol

Im in the same boat, Ive played none stop from friday until today, apart from like having meals etc and the usual, but the store is a complete joke.  I am sick to death of random character cards, they don't exist im sorry, how random is 67 male vanguard, 35 male soldier, 43 female soldier.  I have lost hope of unlocking any of the ultra rare.  I will see what I get in my packs,  It gets me down when you get credits and low and behold crap.

The fact that it's random is a fault. People lose incentive the play when they work hard to get something they want and have no guarantee to get it.

I've wanted to Krogan Vanguard since the DLC was announced. I've got everything 'but' him. I know it's a cash cow, and a way for players to get more gameplay out of it, but after a while it just gets... tiresome, you know?

This has to be said, but I doubt it will change.

We're basically buying bullets at this point, as pathetic as that is.  Personally I believe that the multiplayer (even in it's one game mode state) would have a longer life if they implemented an armour and weapons system closer to that of the main game where stats etc were manipulated through what you equipped and that things were unlocked through a tiered rank system (making the N7 rank more relevant). Think something like Uncharted 3 where you rank up and unlock weapons, skins and bonuses etc.

I don't mind new players coming to play gold, if I'm not fooling around with some silly class/weapon combos I'll happily boost them if they have minimum competence.

What was painful during the weekend was many low N7 players joining then leaving immediately/up to 3rd wave. Worst case was today - Gold Hydra Reapers, about 5 players joined and left, one geth engi stayed with me and we duo'd waves 5 to 7, then died. Waste of ammo/weapon/armor consumables.

Seriously, I don't mind people joining, always glad to show the newbies the ropes, but... if you join, please stay or you're wasting everybody's time and items...

Yeah, I don't personally join Gold games.  I've got a N7 rank over a 100, but I want to get more classes up a level and have a good stash of equipment and better experience before I try doing it more often.  I only joined that one because it was a few seconds before the match started before I realised they changed the difficulty and they seemed happy to have me and the other guy on board.

Also, I get miffed when people leave too so I'm hesitent to ever do so myself (though the game crashing a couple of times or being signed out of PSN inexplicably means I have to, so it's good to keep in mind that there are valid reasons for leaving).
