Meh. Not interested in promoting. Would have rather had actual content added to MP. Boring lately, nothing new, nothing to do. The whole "reinforcements coming soon" was already thrown out 2 weeks ago, just using the same line again is weak.

How about giving up some actual information on future MP DLC instead of just telling us "Oop, next time!"


just promote failing 2 events in a row would be terrible


Meh.  Don't care enough to promote.  What's the point?  Ooooh, a victory pack.  Color me full of care.  No.  I don't care.  Promoting isn't really an "event weekend".  No real "goal".  Hit a button from your squad menu without actually playing the game!  Woo!  No.  MP needs something new to keep fresh, you know, like some vorcha and protheans and weapons.

Not goofy promotion "events" that are pointless.

At least "kill X number of Y" events are *something* to do.  Promoting isn't.


Banshees with all enemies makes it interesting.


To you, maybe.  To me, it's just another thing in the crosshairs that I've seen hundreds of times.  Not interesting enough to care.  MP could also stand to have a new enemy type.

Was hoping to have some new characters to shoot for/new weapons to unlock and level for this weekend.  Nope.  Just continue to play just enough to 100% my readiness every night.


You don't want an N7 weapon?  That's fine.  Don't promote.

@Sabina the commendation pack is the one that has the N7 weapon the victory pack has been changed to contain a high chance for a rare.

What happend to the "guaranteed" N7 weapon in the pack changed to "high chance of containing a Rare weapon"? :( Makes me sad...


The Victory Pack isn't the same as the Commendation Pack.
The Commendation Pack will still contain the N7 weapon (Crusader, Hurricane, Valiant or Eagle), but the Victory Pack, which has been rather lackluster up until now, will have a high chance of containing a Rare weapon.
They used to contain mostly equipment, or a character card or uncommon weapon if you were lucky. Which most people probably wasn't.

Once again Bioware, how is your definition of "soon" these days? The extinction of the dinosaurs was rather recent and the days when conventional intergalactic travel is rather soon when you look at things from an origin point of view, and I'm sure your defintion of "soon" is a lot different to ours.

Either way, as I've previously stated (and made as a bet), if there's no trailer and/or release date by friday at 4:30PM GMT, then I don't care what you do as I will have left the community permanently and will be drifting through the spaces of alternative games. I'm a man of my word, so seeing as I bet it, I won't back out. Not that I actually want to never play a ME game again, but a bet's a bet.


What a curious (if rather pointless) bet.

I bet BioWare are focused on producing good material with as few bugs as possible,
to be released 'when it's ready' and that's the right thing to do.

Apart from adept at 14, all my classes are at 19 so with just a little prep time I should have this in the bag.

Rofl.  I have two of them, and frankly, when you get down to it, most of the N7's are garbage.  I don't see myself taking my Crusader out for a spin anytime soon, after all.

Nor do N7 weapons really make the game fresh enough to suddenly do away with all the boredom I have with it.

what does "squadgoal: promote 3 charakters" mean?
do i have to join a game with 3 others and everyone in this "group" has to promote three chars at once to fulfill the squad goal?

Oh, this is awesome! I wonder if they got this idea from the thread brainstorming new operation ideas just after Silencer. Either way, I'm very much looking forward to hearing that scream while I'm being swarmed by Pyros or Phantoms.

I'll do the squad goal, too. With the recent boosts to random/random XP, you can get to level 13 or 14ish after 3 or 4 silver matches. Good opportunity to try out some new builds.

Glorious day! I'm super-busy this weekend, but I'll have time to log-on and promote. Couldn't be better.

Doh. Just promoted all but one of my classes. I'd better get busy!

I love this Challenge, and how our performance in the previous one directly impacts our gaming experience this weekend. More Banshees. Bring 'em on. Just don't tell the casual crowd, I want to be in a game with some newish guys vs Geth when a Banshee suddenly starts screaming. I just hope they have mics.

Thanks BW for the extra effort here, I know some people moan about the Promotion Challenges, but I rather like having to start over. Gives me a chance to level up and spec my classes all over again. A Rare with the Victory Pack is a step in the right direction, too. A chance for an Ultra-Rare would be better, though. I think that would give people the urge to do what they can to get the Community Challenge.

Looking forward to more 'Special Circumstance' in the future, and of course the DLC.

Since I have five of six characters at level 20, and I need to spend most of the weekend moving to my new flat so I won't actually have much time to play, this is pretty much the perfect goal for this weekend. *does a little happy dance*

Interesting idea bringing mixed factions onto the field, can't wait to hear my buddy scream like a little girl when he kills a guardian only to hear that scream. Keep up these kinds of changes for future ops!!

Chris Priestly--Maybe we could consider my operation, which started more as a joke...

----Operation Ryncol----

From: Admiral Hackett
To: N7 Operatives

------Message Begins------
The Reapers are gaining ground on Tuchanka and the Krogan have been pushed further underground. In order for their forces not to succumb to a loss of morale, I am sending a supply convoy loaded with Ryncol to the system. In order for this operation to be a success, we must create a landing zone for the transports to land and offload their cargo.

Allied Goal: Defeat the Reapers on Gold at Firebase Giant with full extraction.
Squad Goal: Complete all 11 waves on gold with no players falling to Reaper forces.

We must keep the Krogan's morale up so they will continue to be cannon fodder in future operations. All squads meeting both goals will be awarded with a new heavy weapon that has been in development on Tuchanka since the end of the Krogan Rebellions --Thresher Maw Cannon.

------Message Ends------

We've already won, promote 3 characters, no problem. Be interesting to see Banshees dancing with Atlas and primes.

Thanks.. :) Makes me a bit happier.. I am SOOOO unlucky with getting good stuff.. I only play gold, from lvl 1.. I promote 3 times a day and reaching the N7 3000 mark soon.. But even though I buy the 99000 credits packs all the time, all I get is crap.. :/

more banshees will spawn with Reaper enemies and might also spawn with other enemies.

This will be fun.

But why promoting, Bioware? I really don't want to. :/


This, honestly. I didn't do it for Raptor, and I won't do it for Shieldwall. I personally don't find any fun in resetting 15 of my characters (and having to level those classes again) for a chance to upgrade my Hurricane or get one of three other weapons that I won't even use.

Well, I won't be participating in this weekend, there's no real reward for promoting, N7 rank means nothing, and the few war assets you get mean nothing either when there's more than enough in the main game. The only thing I get would be a RNG weapons I would probably never use. I thought this weekend might get my attention, but now that I see it's just a 'promote and replay lower levels again' I'm not sure I will.
