How long does it take to count Banshees?

Are they all sitting around counting by hand?

This amazes me. I mean, it's like literaly 1 line of SQL. Can counting be that difficult?

The banshees keep teleporting on them so they are triple counting.

"one....two...threee....hey wait a minute, stop moving you screaming harpie!"

They're likely checking with QA and IT to make sure that pack releases aren't going to break the whole system again.

Maybe they used a separate global variable for each match.

[Chaosmage42]

and kill 1000000000000 geth primes this time

This one just wants to get the comm. pack, get an N7 Eagle, say naughty words and get over it in time for the next event.

They surely had to make a UUID for each match, then again they have to filter out the duplicates for each player kill feed in that match... i guess that's more than 1 line, because you have to add a group by and having clause.

Are the commendation packs out?

[born2beagator]

Sigh....still no packs.
I think it would truly be a sign of the world ending this year if they actually got a pack out ON TIME

Of course (joking aside) they coud just use the same queries from previous weeks and seach for Banshees instead of Phantoms or Brutes.  So, somehow I don't think the delay relates to getting the data - at least I really hope it doesn't.

Although we are assuming that all this stuff is stored in a nice DB somewhere, which may not be the case.  I remember hearing (years ago) that Guild Wars used an SQL Server DB, but stored player data as a single BLOB!

The world is not going to end this year, it's only going to happen when the reapers return.
