So, on gold, between cerebus and geth, which one benefits the most from having Banshee support?

I'm going with cerebus since advancing banshee will flush you out of cover and you wont notice that there is a damn turret right around the corner with a cloaked phantom right next to it...

Well, having to run away from a banshee and finding a couple of pyros in your face, while Primes shoot at you, is not going to be nice either.

"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)"


Chris, I need some specifics. Can you define promote, as is defined for the event?

What my issue is - we can have all our classes at level 20, ready to go. Would promoting all of our classes count?

This hardly seems a lofty goal. I can promote 6 classes in about 20 seconds if I take my time.

Therefore, does promote, as per the event, really mean "promote, level, and re-promote"?

Sorry if it seems like a retarded question, I just want some hard facts.

I'm gonna try to gold farm ironically this weekend. "Easy mode, but with a not-so-easy twist", is what I'm going for.

For me, I'm pretty sure it's glacier and ghost.

Sorry, might have been the wrong forum for this line...there will be a new wave AFTER the new DLC. See below thread: http://blog.bioware....rebellion-pack/ 


NEW IN-MISSION OBJECTIVE
  • Randomly occurring during waves 3, 6 and 10, this new objective will demand that teams retrieve a high priority package and securely escort it to a designated extraction zone on each map.

I don't know about you, but I've already played the escort wave maybe 2 or 3 times now. Picking up a "Prothean Artifact" and bringing it a drop-off zone three times. It happened to me and some friends a few times after Wave 10, we thought we had just hit some buggy or unfinished coding for a game mechanic not implemented. Well now it will be I guess :)

On topic: Shieldwall looks to be a lot of fun, can't wait to see Banshees in other faction matches and see how it changes the way we play. A note for those who do farm FBW, don't really worry so much about the Banshees. For anyone who has done Reapers on FBW Gold you may already know that if you have all four players behind the lower counter, Banshees cannot teleport through. They keep hitting an invisible barrier and bouncing back leaving you safe from being grabbed. At least this is true on the PS3, don't know about PC or 360. 4-person biotic teams tend to wreck Reapers on Gold.

Sounds like another automatic job for the infiltrators.

[*]Nope, the Escort item, i heavyyyyyyyyy, and you cant transport i singlehanded, because no powers work while moving it. It´s a definite teamjob!

Now THIS challenge sounds like fun! Rogue banshees all over the place= Surprise!! :o 

Plus having a good chance at a rare weapon in the Victory Pack is a great idea.  Hope everyone has fun this weekend.

Edit: Props to Bioware. Thanks for the great mission!

The only thing wrong with it is I can't play it because I'm visiting my family. Bah :/

This sounds beast. Hopefully we get it. P.S. Bioware I think if we get to 500,000 we should have 2 victory packs.
