Well, I am. Of sorts.

Not because I don't get a VP, but because I effing hate the Reapers, man. I'd like us to achieve the community goal. Still, not every battle can be won. Plus, 3 million Banshees on Mother's Day weekend is a tall order.

I feel a bit down that it shows people missed the point of it being about community. "I only care if its something good for me"

But that's society for you.

We didnt reach the goal? Absolutely no problem with that. I play when im in the mood to play, not because i want a commendation pack.

You should learn to read. We have FAILED that means that there will be no victory packs and no commedation packs.
It works like this:
  • If operation succeeds everybody gets victory packs + ppeople who managed to complete squad objective will get a commendation pack.
  • If operation fails everybody gets nothing at all

Certainly not upset. I kinda like that there's a bit of an ongoing story with these events. Seems lots of people think it's all silly and just want better packs, and that's fine. But I dig the attempts at making the MP experience a bit more immersive. Makes things more fun--for me at least--when there's a little something extra besides playing to get more stuff.

Not really...just comes to show that people have begun to move on. These numbers will decrease even further as time goes on...I mean, if they had designed it so that there was replayability in the campaign, those that are on their 7th or so run would still continue to support MP...but alas, from poor and downright stupid decisions, BW has completely screwed themselves over.


I think we failed this time around because:

A) More people realized that the Victory pack was jsut a waste of good bullets and time.
B) It was Mother's Day weekend
C) The PS3 announcement is still bugged from what I hear. So tons of players on that platform might not have known. (Can PS3 confirm that there is still no in-game announcement?)

If they made the Victory pack worth it I'm certain the outcome would improve.


Unless you come to the forums, you have no clue what is happening on PS3 with this game.

I'm pretty sure I killed about 400, but it doesn't matter much to me that we failed because the victory packs blow and these types of challenges are already getting stale.

Disappointed, did kill a decent number of banshees, and helped some folks level up. We need some place to see kill stats, also the Vic Packs should have the random chance you get a rare upgrade. Make it more worthwhile you know. Very pleased with me salarian engineer build though, loved how the banshees loved to admire his decoy and get zapped with shock, most hilarious. I know the level 1 vanguards just loved charging up with almost no fear of reprisal :lol:. Decoy definitely a must !

COULDN'T! COULDN'T! COULDN'T! 

If you could care less, it implies you care. The whole point is that you don't care. 

It's almost as irritating as irregardLESS. The less means without regard. Adding IR doesn't make any damned sense!

Well maybe BioWare will "learn" from this. Here's the lesson:

1) If you are going to schedule a weekend event on a holiday weekend, make the kill count lower. Not higher. Duh.

2) Victory Packs are garbage. Nobody really cares. Make us care and maybe we'll achieve the goal.

LOL I am glad I am not the only one that was irritated by that.

And no, I don't give a damn the community goal failed.  The reward for the community goals is not worth the effort.  The squad goal does provide a reward that I am interested in, so I made sure to complete that challenge.

I can confirm that there was no in game announcement for the ps3

Don't care. It was designed to fail, so they could use it to meta the DLC in. "Amg, you failed, but worry not, we're reinforcing you with Vorcha and some guns n' crap."

Probably in the minority, but this is how I feel it should be too.  No victory, no commendations.  Try harder next time.


I think we should still get the commendation packs because they were two separate goals. That's not fair to the people that accomplished the gold extract. :police:


I accomplished full gold extraction ... still feel that way.   I just think It's kind of stupid to be throwing out gift boxes in the face of crushing defeat.

I also think, if you want to add more challenge in it for most, call for a full gold extraction and at the same time announce that for the first time in a while, we have full control over Firebase White and that no ops to that location are necessary.  In other words, remove FBW from the map selection for the weekend.

Before critizing others you should check your facts

Allied Goal:[/b] Kill 3,000,000 banshees
Squad Goal:[/b] Survive until a full extraction on any map against any enemy on gold difficulty.

Successful completion of the allied goal will grant all players a Victory Pack.
Successful completion of the squad goal will grant all squadmates a Commendation Pack. 

You can fail one and get the other. Failing the Allied(community) will will not stop us from getting our commendation packs. Good lord I can only imagine the number of players who'd walk at this point if it worked they way you think.

Wrong analysis.

Irregardless is indeed a false neologism but I could care less implies negation because less is being used as a negating adverb here.

Not really disappointed, no. When I saw 3 million Banshees listed, I really didn't expect it to succeed. And perhaps that was their plan too, in hopes of perhaps convincing people to participate through threat of failure. Maybe it will work. Don't know. I do know that the big change Multiplayer needs isn't more guns, maps and characters though.... its something new to shoot at, some new reason to shoot at them.... anything that breaks up what has become fairly routine. I'd love to see a time-attack mode, or replaying specific ME3 missions, anything to switch it up a bit.
