Retrieval is the new mission objective that got added in Rebellion. So your squad must play a retrieval mission and at least one person from teh squad must be extracted at the end.


Can you clarify once more because the above has me confused a bit.  For the silver objective to count, you have to have a retrieval objective in that silver mission?

 And for all of those asking for clarification about what an N7 weapon actually entails:

http://social.biowar...x/12451347&lf=8 

Short and sweet: We are getting two promotional weapons if both goals are met (Hurricane, Valiant, ect).

Glad I looked at that link .... When the post by Chris stated that the victory pack had the N7 and unlike previous events hwere it said it next to the commendation it didn't this time I was like what?

To be clear: The Rebellion Pack squad member does NOT have to be the one who extracts. They just have to participate in the mission and at least one squad member has to extract.

Retrieval is the new mission objective that got added in Rebellion. So your squad must play a retrieval mission and at least one person from teh squad must be extracted at the end.

The Commendation and Victory Packs will be giving a guaranteed N7 weapon. The N7 weapons that have the N7 in the name- N7 Valiant, N7 Crusader, N7 Eagle, or N7 Hurricane.



:devil:


Thanks for the clarification.

Amen, thank you for the clarification!

Oh, Bioware, I can't stay mad at you. Yeah, I'm still unhappy with the Patch 1.03 problems and the subsequent lack of communication on said problems, but this game still rocks, and it doesn't take much to make me happy.

Effectively doubling the rate at which we get N7 weapons? That makes me happy.

^_^

So thank you!

Nice on the new Victory Packs. I wonder if there will be an increased rate of retrieval missions over the weekend, other wise given the normal 1/4 chance of getting one, there would have to be something like 400,000 games played over the weekend. Also, they can keep putting it off, but they'll have to give us a Geth kill goal eventually.


Not quite.  Assuming that the four goals are equally likely, there's a 25% chance of getting the retrieval goal in each wave that has one of the goals (waves 3, 6, and 10).  As a result there's a 57.8125% chance that you'll get the retrieval goal at least once during the match.  Of that 57.8125%, 42.1875% is getting the retrieval goal once in a match, 14.0625% is getting it twice in a match, and 1.5625% is getting it three times in one match.  So, Operation Mastiff should take roughly 133,334 matches to complete.  Of course this is assuming all the matches are played through to extraction, the number of actual matches required to complete the goal could be higher due to party wipes, the gambler's fallacy, and how rusty I am at probability calculations.  I can't imagine it taking much over 200,000 matches, though, which is still substantially less than 400,000.


Closer on topic, the chance at two N7 weapons is awesome!  Way to up the incentives, Bioware. :)

Allied Goal: Complete 100K  retrieval missions.


My question is does each object retrived count as ONE towards the goal, so TWO towards the goal for retrieving both objects? Or do we have to get both objects to get ONE point towards the goal?

 I would love to participate in this mission, but after 4 PSPs and some SPs, I have yet to unlock one of the new characters. I keep getting unlocks for characters I already have. :(

It seems as though you just need to be on a team with a Rebellion character, not have one yourself.

Guaranteed N7 black weapon in victory pack apart from the N7 in commendation pack? For the first time, Bioware has given a worthwhile incentive to complete community goal.


I agree. 1mil credits would be nice too :P

So, this weekend I have a 1 in 2 chance of a Valiant, but it's more likely I'll get the Eagle, or two more upgrades for the Crapsader (yay for me, I have the Crapsader 3 already).

What I would love is if the Commendation pack allowed us to PICK which weapon we get, and then a random N7 in the Victory pack.

Then I could get the Valiant at last (just before Bioware/EA nerf it :devil:).

So wait, now we get an N7 weapon in both the Victory AND Commendation packs, or have the Comm packs been changed?

If it's in both, I dunno about that...



I like how he repeats the information twice and you're still confused. Stay contextual, BSN. If he didn't note a change to commendation packs, there's no change to commendation packs. See how easy that was?

Any math experts in the house? I think that technically you (we) don't have a 1 in 2 chance to get a valiant, but two 1 in 5 chances to get a valiant. Is that right? I'm not a math guy.Posted Image

2 1 in 4 chances. I believe a 7 in 16 chance to get a valiant this weekend.
