It just means people are going to deplete their stocked Cobra missiles to burn through waves faster.

Can't wait to blow stuff up !

Why???

The missiles you waste will be more valuable than the contents of your Victory pack, which is basically just a slightly less Jumbo Equipment Pack.

Anyone who finishes FBWGG this weekend will get a commendation pack if the trend continues.  So I see no reason to try any harder at MP this weekend than any other weekend.

I'll play reapers though to do my part.  DA is my favorite class anyway.

Who cares, Victory pack is absolute crap.

Commendation gives N7, Victory is a glorified equipment pack more often than not.

My AJ and my buddy's AA are reporting for duty to Reave/Warp those banshees to oblivion.

Damnit, just when we are needed the most to get this done, I have my exams... I doubt I will even be able to get the commendation pack if I don't go for a farming white run, and I hate that. I am not good enough to do well on gold with PUGs and my friends won't be probably playing either T_T

[Maria Caliban]

I rather like the increase in challenge.

That why they call it a challenge...

This plus now they can expect PS3 players to contribute to the total. PS3 probably has the smallest userbase of the 3 platforms but if the carrot on a stick is unlocking Vorcha, 3 mill banshees doesn't sound too unreasonable.

I guess it's a good thing victory packs are useless.

Anybody ready to get another n7 eagle?

[Ankarah]

it's a simple mathematical inevitability;

1. there are more phantoms than banshees spawning in one game
2. we, ps3 community included, killed 1.5 million phantoms last time
3. therefore we cannot kill 3 million banshees this weekend

unless bioware decides to change their formula for unit spawning just for this weekend, which i don't think they will, or the reward for which is so great that it entices people to return to playing the MP this weekend for their victory packs, which i don't think it is.

Where did you get the info for operation excorcist saying we killed 1.5 million phantoms?

I remember looking all over the forum but couldnt find anything at the time.

So does this mean everyone who is resenting the fact not even going to try? ;P

After the 'kill the brutes' weekend, they lowered the spawn rates for brutes for a week. They might up the banshee count for a weekend event.

[Vigilance_Pep]

Step up to the plate farmers or go back to silver and bronze and deal with the reapers there.

If any of you PS3 players have ever beaten Reapers on gold at Firebase Glacier, then I personally invite you to join my Reaper hunting party. If you can kill them there you can do it anywhere.

Count me in.... farm a bit on fbw/g/g for the extraction and the rest of my games will be against reapers on random

[zhk3r]

Enemies aren't more "rare". They just cost a certain amount of points to spawn in. Every wave has a budget. Here's an example:

Wave 8 - Reaper Gold

> Minumum number of Banshees: 2
> Maximum number of Banshees: 8

There can be a total of 2 Banshees on the map at all times, but it can never exceed 2. So if you always avoid killing Banshees, the game is forced to spawn in other enemy units (Marauders, Husks, Cannibals, Brutes). Every enemy has a minimum and maximum number that it's allowed to spawn: But if you don't kill Banshees, the game will be forced to continue spawning the other enemy units.

If you simply kill the Banshees as they spawn, there can spawn a total of 8 - Depending on what the budget for the wave is, and what enemies it has already spawned. During objective weekends, the minimum and maximum number of that certain enemy is increased, also making the budget higher.

that said I wont be playing this event - hate reapers, never get my packs anyway.
i'll just keep slogging thru GWG to get more gold weapons

[GroverA125]

Bullocks, we'll be through them in half of the allotted time, as usual. While I admit the community may not be as large as it was originally, we've lost a fair few along the way, have a little faith in the remnants.

[Methanoid666]

many have already said, worth saying again tho, but i doubt anything is tracked and we always auto-win every time.

Im sure Operation Server Silencer will be a great success.

I think Phantoms and Banshees have a max spawn of 4 at a time and 10 per regular Wave in a Gold game.

[scottster117]

Wont be playing. Not really interested in yet another "x amount of y kills" challenge. Good luck to everyone.

QFT

Banshee counts are up over the last couple of weeks it seems, at least in Gold.
