Assuming we get our packs do they expire? I remember that they used to...

I disagree with the squad goal being a full extraction on gold on any map against any enemy.

If the idea is to kill banshees the squad goal involve the Reapers. Make people do Reapers on gold and force them out of their FBW/Geth/Gold bubbles.

Sure it's much harder, but some friends and I did four different maps on gold last night and it's so much more fun. Just make the reward better if you need to.

Hm. This allied goal might actually be the first one we fail at. We only killed 1.5 million Phantoms last time. I'm blaming the squad goal for that. Should've made it Reapers on gold, otherwise this allied goal is in jeopardy of falling short to FBWGG.

Edit. Stupid firefox.

agree. Allow people to do it in silver too, but make against reaper. If the theme of the ops is banshee, there's no sense winning the pack doing a gold against other enemies..

I agree, the squad goal is not inline with the Mission Statement.  Your goal is to kill 1 million Banshees, now let us give you a bigger reward for taking advantage of weak AI and a flawed map against an inferior enemy...

agree. Allow people to do it in bronze too, but make against anyone. If the theme of the ops is silencing, let us kill any enemy type and have it count.

They should have different squad goal challenges.

Squad goal bronze
Squad goal silver
Squad goal gold

Each with increasingly rare rewards. If you can't do a goal extraction against reapers do it on silver. But FFS Bioware, change it up some.

[LDStaredown]

Does anyone have a number on how many Phantoms was killed 2 weeks ago? Seems like 3 mill. Banshees could be pretty challenging.

[TheMightyG00sh]

Dagger is an easier map for grenadier enemies as you don't necessarily use cover in it. Especially not when there's Phantoms and Banshees. Oh well, let's enjoy the moment for what it is because first thing Friday morning there will be a mass of FBW:GG (it's bad enough as it is beacause 90% of games you are placed in when you select "Any Map" and "Any Enemy" in the search screen it takes you to FBW:GG. Still this event sounds fun and it looks like the Rebellion DLC is actually happening what with the mention of Ceberus Defectors and Vorcha. I'm just hoping that the Phoenix characters are Cerberus rather than Prothean. One breaks lore, one is simply a nice idea that hopefully gives us a Vanguard that you don't need to die 3000 times on first before you figure out al the kinks and techniques to Vanguarding. What to hit, what to avoid, when to charge etc.

Actually it's 3 million Banshees, which makes it 3 times worse. I'll be doing 1 extraction on FBWGG as soon as it starts to get it over with, then the Banshees are all mine.

Unfortunately I doubt a lot of other people will switch to Reapers for the sake of the challenge. So everyone partcipating this weekend will need to work super hard to make up for people who won't leave their FBWGG ball of comfort.

Silver Banshees might be best. There's unlimited on extraction, but it's not as hectic as gold. Might get the job done quicker; I'll have to experiment

The problem lies with the majority of the server populations choking up FBW:GG trying, unsuccessfully, to get that first extraction.  Due to the numerous players who normally can't complete a gold extraction trying to do so over and over there will be a LOT of failures.  Failures that don't contribute to the 3 million banshee quota.

Now I'm not saying these people shouldn't have a shot at getting a gold extraction.  And I'm not saying they're not just as equally deserving of a commendation pack.  I'm just saying let them kill banshees during their attempts.  It will only make them better players.

Hell I've only been playing two weeks, but I do 5-10 successful gold extractions nightly depending on my group.  The only way to start doing it is to just jump right in.  I leveled to 20 then started doing gold.  I got sick of FBW:GG so I started meeting other people with mics who wanted to work as a team and now we do Any/Any/Gold maps nightly and it's a blast.

This squad goal is contributing to the funneling of new players into the FBW:GG mentality.  It's boring and farming does not increase player skill.  Shame on you Bioware.

Yeah but Phantoms seem slightly restricted compared to Banshees. You can easily kill upwards of 20 Banshees per game but it feels like there's half as many Phantoms. Still mass  FBW:GG could indeed cause  the downfall.

[Zeroth Angel]

Just to be sure:
Squad Goal: Survive until a full extraction on any map against any enemy on gold difficulty.

Does that mean we are allowed to die or not?

3.5% of extractions are on gold wtf when i play gold with friends 99% of matches are full extraction

It means that 96.5% of extractions are on Bronze and Silver.

 Ugh.... this is gonna be a horrible weekend.
Most players suck at killing banshees and personally its my most hated enemy.
Kind of a high number for such a hard opponent aswell if you ask me but meh , we will see.
Good to see vorcha comming , lets hope they are worth the hassle we gonna have to go trough.
I just hate reaper enemies

I'd love to know what percentage of completed gold matches are on Firebase White. I bet its a lot more than 36%.

Want to see how much of that money spent, on spectre packs or PSPs, have returned N7 weapons.

[Wrinklestiltskin]

11.8% of missions include a geth squad member. No kidding , the GI with cloak plus hunter mode makes them the ultimate class. I forsee a nerf incoming unless the underpowered classes get buffed.

[DoubleHell]

The contents of the commendation pack and victory pack need to be switched around.

It's easy to get an extraction on gold - so the reward should be small, i.e. the victory pack containing the low end consumables.

The allied goal of killing 3 mil banshees is a lot harder to achieve - and the commendation pack with a N7 promo weapon should be the incentive.

I want to see how much of the credits spent on packs got lost to store glitches..  it's got to be in the Billions, I have lost about 300k myself easily.
