amusing how some americans are complaining on the dates..
guess what? the world doesn't revolve around you.

The fact that this guy from texas.. had to throw his military credentials..
makes me wonder...

[Hejdun]

Totally didn't notice it was a shortened operation. I'm pretty sure I promoted my 3rd class in time (there were still banshees going), but it'd suck missing out on an N7 weapon because Bioware changed the time all of a sudden.

You're actually named Talon?

Yes. I'm actually Native American also.
My name has both an English meaning and a Native American meaning.


One other thing I would like to add is that this BSN community is actually the minority of the players and there was no notification of what times it would run on the event splash screen on Friday. So people who don't visit the blog had no idea of the times it was running.

Hey, looks like we have a bit in common, also in the army with native blood. Irish/Native. I can take a beer, or 12 pack for that matter like a real man. XD

It was perfectly acceptable and beyond achievable.  Every single person I play with and myself as well had all three easily promoted by last night.  I'm pretty sure that EVERY challenge weekend there are some ME3 players that have plans to do some thing or another.  Unfortunately, we are powerless to force the world to revolve around any given one of them.

Thank you, OP. Thank you very much.

I laughed at this too. I mean, c'mon.

Or perhaps they made it shorter because of the holiday, with full knowledge that many of Bioware's employees would not be at work Monday. Lots of people here in the US get Monday off so that they can celebrate Memorial Day. Why shouldn't Bioware employees be allowed off too?

[sgrx]

Promoting a few characters isn't a particularly difficult thing to accomplish, but I'm not sure what the point was in making this event shorter than the previous events, unless it's somehow going to translate to a faster turnaround on the commendation/victory packs. It probably would have been a good idea to actually add the start/end time to the
sticky thread in this forum, though.

You have a point - it would be unfair of us to expect the team of people that they would absolutely need on-site the instant the promotion ends, who will then manually shut down the promotion, and begin a manual head count so they can distribute packs, to have to work on a holiday. There's no way any of this could be automated.

Yes it does.  Keep your centimeters and metric system to yourself.

But obviously you have an anti-American bias and in particular something against someone who lives in Texas. However you seem ignorant to the fact that the military will send someone where they are needed. It's not like I'm from Texas.

I was thinking about how many places I've been because of the military, and for me at least, when people ask me where I'm from I say I was born in New York but I'm from everywhere hehehe. I think it's easy for people to forget how large the US is, even if they live here, but especially if they don't.

Wait… the event is already OVER? I never saw a start and end time posted on either of the Operation threads so I figured it would last as long as the others have. Why have it cut short than the other operation weekends?

Lucky for me I already had all my characters (at least one in each class) leveled up to 20 so I got to promote the 4 least liked ones. I never did get my geth engineer up to level 20. After 12 bronze matches its stuck at level 18 for now.

[SSCAlphaleader]

promoted 4 and rose up in n7 from 500 to 560 dope

Again, I think Bioware anticipated that a lot of their employees won't be at work tomorrow, and rather than risk more problems with people not getting their packs and handling the fire from that, they would just make the operation a bit shorter. If that's the case, I can't really blame them. It's a holiday and I sure as hell wouldn't want to go in to work tomorrow just to grind numbers on what is essentially a 100% optional event for them to host.

[LeandroBraz]

One thing is sure, a lot of people didn't read the date, assuming that it is the same of previous events, promoted they chars after it was over, thinking it would over only in monday, and will be pissed when they realize what happened.

I promoted 3 yesterday, but I promoted more 2 one hour ago, to help to achieve 50.000. I didn't knew it was over. Bioware should at least let clear that the date changed, with an ATTENTION advise .

[TweedleDee66]

Nope, no start and end time on this one from the post in the multiplayer forum: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/12200987/1#12200987

Nope, again no start and end time from the post in the announcement forum: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/324/index/12200998/1#12200998
Both had May 25-27 the same as the previous weekends (Friday-Sunday)

Why do you think that they would require anyone to be at work for something that would be counted by a program subroutine set up? You don’t actually think that someone has to sit around and count all the kills from a weekend even like last time manually do you? Or that they have a work schedule like most places of employment where someone is scheduled to work over any weekend and holiday. Do you think the EA servers or any game company that uses servers (like Blizzard’s World of Warcraft) will shut down because of a holiday and the company didn’t have anyone scheduled to work then?

Unnecessary whining from the OP.

I'm pretty sure Memorial Day may have been the reason they made this weekend's challenge so easy. You literally just had to press 3 buttons.

And in regards to people saying that it takes time to level characters, we knew well in advance of what the requirements were. If you knew you were going to be busy, all you had to do was level up 3 characters beforehand.

[NedPepper]

Well, the fact that two of the last events were held on holidays shouldn't be held against the community if we failed. That's all I'm concerned about. I had family stuff the last two event weekends. (Mother's Day, Memorial Day). Couldn't play nearly as much. I'm bummed, but mainly bummed that we might fail it and Bioware will stop doing them. Smart thing would not be doing them on American holiday weekends...just saying...and particularly not announcing clearly it was going to end a full day before the other events end.. I was grinding to get my level 19 Sentinel to 20 and thought I had plenty of time until I just came and checked here. I thought I'd finally get a damn commendation pack. Just one more to promote...sigh...well, at least there's DLC on Tuesday.

Even without the start and end times though it still made clear sunday so all the talk about Monday is kinda moot anyway no?

And since we're still getting banshees, even the link above with the times MAY be moot.  The operation may still in fact be active.  I did see some sites that said until 5 am tomorrow, while an obsure one claimed 5 pm tomorrow.  So who knows?
