well time to level a few more characters up so I can promote. Now I have an excuse to promote my characters. They've been capped at lvl 20 for ages lol

[SoulRebel_1979]

Haven't promoted since last promote weekend event. Hopefully that promotion bug is fixed. Annoying shat that was.

[Jonata]

Banshee and Phantoms in the same match? Man this is going to be one hell of a ride...

[Tymathee]

I hope this happens more. Would be epic to see Geth and Reapers working together (realistic lore wise) and maybe Cerberus randomly have Reaper units

[Bergioynn]

>.< Just promoted all but one of my lvl 20's. Daaamn!

I'm not aware of any promotion bug, and I've promoted about 10 characters in the last couple weeks.

I'm not sure I understand.

Squad goal: 3 character promotions? How does that work?

Basically, you yourself have to promote 3 characters in order to receive the commendation pack. They did a similar one to this a few operations ago.

So it's not squad-related at all?

Why call it a "squad goal" in the first place then? Had me confused.

Dunno why they would do that. It should be more of a "individual" goal but I guess they want to stick with uniformity when listing the challenges I guess.

I take it to mean that when you promote, all the characters on that row (engineers, adepts, whichever) are promoted. You just sent a whole squad to the front lines.

What about the inverse? I would love to see one lonely Assault Trooper appear in a Reaper match and promptly crap himself, then get headshotted.

And as for the people being sour grapes about promoting, won't you think of the community?

I  have three characters that need to be promoted for "re-spec" purposes. I'm glad I haven't promoted them yet.

More Banshees then.... well we can handle them, charging Geth Plasma Shotgun and Kishock, just in case.

Same here.  Though I will likely promote all 6 of mine for the hell of it. 

[keginkc]

Banshees showing up with other enemies?

Awesome.

I'll try to get everything to 20 by this weekend and promote 6. I probably won't have time to level anything after that, with a major work project starting tomorrow.

[Grotaiche]

Thanks BioWare !

[NUM13ER]

So because people avoided the last weekends operation 'cos they hate Banshees, they now have to put up with them no matter what lol. I imagine there'll be quite a few people will be think they're hearing things when she starts screeching in a Cerberus match. Not the nicest surprise for players lol.

Promoting a character? Does that mean a single level or full level?

You're assuming that most people regularly play and complete wave 10 of gold, which isn't the case. Most of the player base plays/succeeds on bronze/silver, where the credit rewards are significantly less. Then there's the factor of time. Elite players can complete gold matches within a reasonable amount of time, say 20-30 minutes. Less skilled players, even if they manage to get deep into a gold match, may be looking at upwards of 35-40 minutes by the end of wave 11, which is a less favorable credit:time ratio and may discourage them from continuing to play gold matches. There are also people for whom playing gold is unpleasant and stressful and who are more interested in playing for enjoyment than credits. The pressure from other profit-minded players in gold lobbies to run the most efficient/widely approved of builds contributes to this. Furthermore, succeeding on gold is much easier with a regular/communicating team, which may be hard to organize if one does not frequent social sites like this one. Then there are more minor factors, like the vagaries of the RNG system and character cards, network latency which is particularly problematic on gold, and constant EA server disconnects for numerous individuals.

Sorry, wall of text. But basically, I don't think the elite/pro/competitive ME3 multiplayer gamers who are so numerous on the BSN should extrapolate from their own experience to presume how the rest of the player base, which is much larger, less organized, less dedicated and (usually) less skilled, plays.

This is why I asked how often he/she/it was playing and whether it was on gold difficulty.  I mainly replied because I didn't agree with (nor understand) the OP's suggestion that N7 rating has something to do with rare weapon unlocks.

Oh, ok, fair enough. I didn't pay attention to all the nuances of what people have been saying, I just picked up on the maxed rare weapons comment. Didn't mean to direct it at you personally either. 

[dipdunk]

Is there any chance of this operation getting extended through Monday night so I and any other players who are traveling for Memorial Day weekend might participate?

[V_Davion]

This will be awesome

Also, I have all my clases at lvl 20, so I guess I'll promote them all to help get the goal

The Reapers are targeting our training centers, and your mission is to draw their fire and attention. Put them on the defensive! Buy us time, and the reinforcements in training will soon back you up.

Allied Goal: Promote 50,000 characters
Squad Goal: Promote 3 characters
Special Circumstance: Due to the failure of Operation SILENCER, more banshees will spawn with Reaper enemies and might also spawn with other enemies.

Squad Goal Success: Squad members awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack (high chance of containing a Rare weapon)

I CALLED IT... I told you they would switch it around to mess with the comminity after last time,  Making the N7 rewards a Community goal instead of a squad goal  now all we get as a squad is more Supplies...


Lovely.

To everyone in this topic posting something along the lines of "LOL @ W/G/G farmers, can't wait to see the banshees get you!":

Banshees are even less of a threat when using the FBW farming tactic than the Geth enemies are, owing to the fact that they can't get over the desk that everybody hides behind during the match. This isn't going to make the tiniest bit of difference to anyone who farms that setup.

They're not going to be as screwed as you guys seem to think.

lolwut?

Banshees will just teleport through the cover you're hiding behind.  Are you being serious? 

[Sable Dove]

"How can we get people to not play our game anymore?"
"Let's make people promote half their classes and put one of the most broken enemies in all the games."

Fantastic.

Also, I doubt people avoided Banshees; BioWare set the goal unrealistically high; probably so they could roll out this abomination of a challenge.

As good a game as this is, it's more of a starting point. The basic concepts and gameplay are fun, but poor decisions like this one make the game less than it could have been. Blah blah blah. Ignore me; just frustrated because they're intentionally making the game less fun for no apparent reason while ignoring the issues that already plague the game.

[Tiina]

YES!! can`t wait for the weekend to begin:D

Nobody's sure why but the Banshees can't teleport through the desks.  They hang on them and just stand there until they pick a new target.

If everybody's behind cover, she'll just stand there trying to teleport and not making it anywhere.

If anybody's out of cover, like say, an Infiltrator hiding at the back door, she'll lock on to them, walk through the room to reach them, and be behind the cover, at which point everybody's boned unless somebody pulls out a Cobra.

This weekend op has "synergistic" objectives, ie the squad and community goals are completey linked. Before, all you need was an extraction or full extraction and then you could stop. Now, three promotions per person should make reaching the community goal a gimme even though there is till no incentive (victory pack still worthless).

I'm gonna say somethin' here.
And it's gonna BLOW PEOPLES MINDS.
Like, WIDE OPEN man.
You'll be looking around at your room and goin' 'Whoa, is that my mind all over the place?  It got really blown!'

And that thing is, 'Not everybody's a Gold mode vet with a surplus of credits and everything but ubersupermegaduperultrachocolatyfudgecoated rare weapons maxed out.
This Vic pack may be worthless to you, but that is not an indication of its actual worth to the majority of the playerbase.

Drago your mind-blowing seriously made me lol.  Awesome!    I'm going to have to remember that one for future use.   And I agree with your statement.  I have hardly any rares maxed; I don't generally play gold, so I don't rake in the credits and I don't buy 3 kajillion PSP's a week.  Probably like a lot of folk.

BioWare - Outstanding!!  I can hardly wait!  Always psyched for the fortnightly Op challenge and I'm so looking forward to this one - random Banshee spawning?!  Wooo!! 

Besided it is a matter of luck what you get. Yes I have had all my rares maxxed for awhile but my last 2 uncommons were just maxxed last week. So if their rares are maxxed but an uncommon isn't then they will probably get a needed uncommon. Either way it is nice that it is now a lil mmore than just an equip pack. And as for those complaining of the promote character goal. It makes sense. We failed last mission so or reinforcements need more training. Now those reinforcements are under attack. Just promote and perhaps we will finally get reinforcements. And those who are happy with an N7 rank under 130 must never play random games on xbox. Because lots of the high rank players kick those under 130. I don't but I have met them. Of course some of the low ranks are now kicking those with a higher rank too. Just stop kickin for dumb reasons. Only real reason to kick is because the person is being very offensive or unwilling to be a team player. No I do NOT mean kick vanguards for that then, some of them can and do make good teammates. Now let's just enjoy and remember this is memorial weekend in the U.S. So for us promoting is a great requirement because we will be busy most of the holiday weekend. Afterall where I am we have a spring festival all memorial weekend every yr. Junk food, carnival fun and vendors sellin stuff. Gotta love it.

Nah, Banshees aren't broken. Phantoms are, though. Good thing I only started playing right around Op Exorcist and didn't feel like I had to contribute yet

Err... they've switched nothing around.

N7 reward comes from Commendation packs, Commendation packs come from squad goal like they always have.

Nice one, will spice up things a little.
