I'm going to just say this now, if the

Chris Priestly wrote... and the reinforcements in training will soon back you up.

is just another teaser like the Vorcha part was in Operation Silencer and it won't be followd by a swift release or information very very shortly after, I'm going to go haywire =p

I'd like to know though, are the characters stored locally or server side? Have a friend visiting during the whole weekend and he'll miss out on this unless he can logg on my x-box and promote his guys, sooo - would this work or not?

I like the penalty for failing the last operation. It makes me want to see us fail a few more operations to see what they come up with.

If my rares are maxed out... will it contain ultra-rare? :)

What I'm wondering is if the extra Banshees in both Reaper and non-Reaper games will take the place of analogous heavy units (Atlases, Primes, Brutes) or if they will spawn in addition to the preexisting quota. I think if they are layered on top of the already overwhelming number of enemies in the latter waves of gold games I might just stay out of gold this weekend.

I am glad they lowered the bar on both goals and gave us a reason to promote. I should promote about half a dozen times.

Bump that victory pack up to a definite rare, high chance of ultra rare and it will be perfect!

edit: just re-read it, seems that FBWGG is going to be royally screwed over by banshees when people are going to want to farm the hell out of it to get a vorcha when the dlc lands. Almost feel sorry for the non-forum users that will quickly close the weekend operation pop-up, jump into a game and come face to face with a banshee and atlas/prime double team
:devil:

It seems like the math would indicate (although I haven't done it) that 50,000 promotions would be easily reached. Has anyone done that math? I have 5 out of 6 classes at or near 20. Should I promote all of them, or will it be safe to leave a couple at 20?

So we get more awesomeness if we fail the challenges?

I've got half a mind to just promote three. If we keep it low, hopefully the games will spawn with something more interesting next week, too.

Although it would be nice if successful events saw a lapse in numbers of said enemy in the next week's event, balanced out by a more foes per wave, and perhaps less likelyhood of weaker units to tighten the slack.

Edit: So by Banshee logic, if we fail this, we get less reinforcement( card)s? I think I spy a plan here.

Banshees and Phantoms/Geth Primes at the same time...

At least it's not required to get a full extraction on Gold this weekend.

Finally thank the god child entity, BW has heard us.:D

I have to say promoting 50k of characters is a little low. Why not 500k or 1mil?

I stopped reading at page six so I'm not sure anyone mentioned this, but c'mon people, "squad goal" is just the term they use for whatever condition must be met for the victory pack. Not necessarily for a literal squad to achieve. I'm guessing they didn't change it because it would be inconsistent with the vocabulary they've already established for these events. Use some overall context people.

Can't wait to see banshees everywhere. That seems more like a reward than a penalty.

Also, thank you (again) for improving the Victory pack. I really think last week failed because people simply do not value the victory pack. Hopefully now more people will have the incentive to participate in the community goals.

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


Assuming you've been playing ME3 regularily since release day, all your rares should be unlocked.  Unless you're doing it wrong and not making enough credits to buy the packs.  I had all my rares maxed prior to Resurgence and then it only took me about a week to max all my Resurgence weapons.  And I don't play all day, everyday.  Now I'm playing about once a week, if that.  It won't take me long to max whatever new DLC weapons get released considering they'll be the only unlocks I need other than ultra rares.

Are you not playing very often?  Not playing gold (for max credit reward)?  Even with character cards screwing me fairly often, maxing my rares wasn't all that difficult.

EDIT: I should add, my N7 rating has been 360 for a while now and kinda has nothing to do with my unlocks (I don't understand the implication that N7 rating relates to rare weapon unlocks).

EDIT-EDIT: I should also add that I haven't spent any real money on packs.

Special Circumstance: Due to the failure of Operation SILENCER, more banshees will spawn with Reaper enemies and might also spawn with other enemies.


AWESOME!

Just amazing. I don't care who's idea this was, but it is just ******. Good job.

"Operation SHIELDWALL, beginning this Friday, May 25 at 6:00PM PT until Sunday, May 27 at 5:00PM PT" - from blog.bioware.com. Probably shortest operation we ever had.

Dammit, promotions.... :(

I'd really like a hurricane, but I'm going to have to break my no promoting rule. Didn't take part in Raptor, but I don't think I want to do the same this time.

Hahaha. Sitting in FBW behind counter, grabbing pyros. Out of nowhere, insta-killed by a Banshee. Going to be awesome.
