I cant wait to hear the casual players, who dont pay attention to the weekend ops, flip the F out on mic when a Banshee spawns in a cerberus match.


THIS will be funny!  Great idea Bioware, can't wait for the weekend.


Hell yes this is gunna rule


I can't wait for the forum threads:

"[BUG] Banshees on FBWGG. Fix it Bioware!!!111"

Just wondering. Can you promote the same character three times, or do you have to promote three different classes.

50K should be easy as hell. if 50k people play this weekend (which i'm sure more then that do) and every promotes 1 well do the math. but with people aiming for 3 only about 17500 people have to do it. I'll be one of them

also take into consideration that its 3 systems so that is about less then 6000 people on each system if each of the 6000 promote 3


I'd like to point out there are over 17 thousand players on pc (as per leaderboards), don't know about xbox or ps3 but 6000 is a very low number. Esepcially considering over 2 million copies of the game have been sold.

You're already going to get an ultra rare with the commendation pack....

Promotionals and ultra rares are 2 different things

yeaah.. but most people have all their rares maxed out and only need ultra's so an ultra rare out of a victory pack would be very nice.


Sorry, it is not logical to conclude that "most people have all their rares maxed out". Assuming the RNG gods are with you and ony PSPs are unclocked, it would, at best, take some 7,000,000 credits to do that (or you could be very rich). With a farming approach and assuming you promote, I struggle to see how all rares would be maxed below an N7 of 500 and if other packs are unlocked, or character cards unclocked, it could be N7 1,000 or more before all are unclocked. 

I would estimate only 5% of players, at best, have all their rares maxed. Just look at the leaderboard - many posters here will be right up the top.

I can understand this misunderstanding because the BSN attracts more accomplished (a.k.a. Elite) gamers to post, so more players appear maxed and so the perception is that this is true of most players.

What's going on here is a bit like the 'False-Consensus Effect': http://en.wikipedia....onsensus_effect


I have all my non ultra rare weapons maxed, you assume that people still promote regularly. I stopped at 300, but looks like I'll keep going now I guess.

Also, why the don't some people want to go beyond n7 120? Theres no feat or award that you get for it. I understand not constantly promoting, I stopped at n7 300, but you get free stuff for it and you lose nothing. You even get war assets. You might as well help the rest of the community.

 Allied goal of 50,000/personal goal of 3 = 16666.66667 people promoting the 3 minimum.

So if 16,667 people promote 3 charachters for the commendation pack then we'll have enough for victory ....... Do you guys think at least that many will go for the commendation pack? lol

I had all my "rares" maxed by the time I had an N7 of like 250 ..... I stopped at 900 ... Look at my poor none maxxed ultrarares because the RNG system feels I need more krogans >.>

Had wondered this myself.  My guess would be they ignore each other, but it would be fun to see some 3-way fighting...

This should be easy, all my classes are at 20 anyway. I don't promote much. I'll just bump everybody up on the weekend.

All i have to do is finish making the vanguard and a six class promote will happen on d-day as the opening salvo.

I really don't understand the negativity for gaining a higher n7 number... Or promoting your character in order to satisfy the requirements for the prizes...

This will be fun... Banshees popping in while you deal with a pair of phantoms.... Great fun!

It can't happen. The AI isn't even remotely coded for that. Look Single Player. All fights are 1 faction (shepard allies) vs 1 faction (shepard enemies). They would have to put in new code, which like many of the fixes we are waiting on, would require far more work and a large patch/DLC.

Sorry folks, your playing the wrong game if you want that level of chaos.

Any thoughts as to why such a low number (50,000 community promotions)? The last time they had a similar challenge (Raptor) it was 2 promotions and community 150,000. (And they hit 350,000 promotions.) Why is this challenge so much lower - albeit with one extra "squad" promotion required?
