Victory packs have a guaranteed N7 weapon now? This is exactly what I was suggesting weeks ago to provide some incentive for the squad goals. Nice job Bioware.

How likely is it that they'll be giving out two N7 promotional weapons?

I get the feeling they've taken the N7 item out of the commendation pack, and have put it in the victory pack instead.

...

It's very likely, apparently.

We've been seeing them experiment with the Victory Packs a bit lately to encourage completion of the Community Goals. Making it so there are two N7 weapons(not a N7 and an Ultra-Rare[Important distinction. The promotional guns are referred to as N7, the others are Ultra-Rares]) is a heck of an incentive.


It would be great if they did give out two n7 promos, but pretty naff if they did a switch without mentioning it - since everyone is used to having an n7 promo gun in their commendation pack.

It would also be pretty naff to assume that they would change the Commendation Packs without detailing it.

A chance to get 2 N7 weapons. Sweet, here I come Eagle IV & V. Thank you, for making "Victory Pack" more awesome.

 Stupid newbie question:  I've been playing multiplayer for maybe a week now and only play bronze (unless I screw up woefully and have level set to random).  I play bronze because I am a newbie and I suck.  I do try to be the best bullet sponge I can be, though (attribution to whoever deserves it).  I've yet to see a retrieval mission on bronze.  Are they only offered at silver and gold levels?  And, if so, will I be soundly cursed if I play a silver level during the course of the challenge because I want to join in on the fun?


Add me (if your on xbox that is)I'll run ya through a silver match and get ya the pack for that part if ya want but the retrieval is in bronze too it just seems to happen less often.

I was running bronze about an hour ago and had two games in a row with all 3 objectives being Retrieval.

It's not that it "happens less often"; it's just random.

Could someone from Bioware please clarify what exactly will contain the Commendation pack if the Victory is the one that from now contains the N7 weapon?!

i think that the victory pack will contain an ultra rare and the commendation pack will still contain the N7.

You tell dogs to fetch, thus mastiff.

Nice change from the previous missions in the sense that I can't see how we can fail.


Yeah, "operation mastiff" sounds a lot tougher than "operation beagle" or "operation chihuahua" haha


I think Operation Beagle would be a great name, I love Beagles, they're so cute.

No way.

Operation: Daschund

Second.

Will there be a higher chance for retrieval missions during this weekend? They've seemed pretty rare for me so far.

They both contain N7s, hence "bonus n7 weaponry."

"Retrieval" is Wave 11 extraction, when Elvis is leaving the building.




Ok.  I might suck but I have seen Elvis leave the building a number of times.  The real kernel here -- since I don't think retrieval is an option on bronze -- is how much loathing will I generate if I attempt silver?

Plenty of us are on xbox and willing to help. My Gt is: Atticus Batman

Yup. Plenty of people willing to lend a hand. I'll toss my name into the ring for silver aid. Feel free to grab me if I'm on XBL. GT: Another Chris

Finally, something enjoyable. I can take it easy on Silver all weekend with my QME and get both objectives accomplished.

Great idea for an Operation. Very doable if every match includes a wave with a retrieval objective.

Nice that Gold challenged players (like me) have a sporting chance to earn both packs.

Thank you Bioware!

Looking ahead: Operation Buffalo - everybody plays as a Krogan and we gang-melee 1M Brutes.

Wait hold up...
How many of these victory/commendation packs have had a "guaranteed N7 weapon".
And how come I do not have 1?

Sounds like a fun operation. I'll be playing my new characters all weekend on silver, to help out as many other players as possible. ;)

And the rewards sound awesome! :o Thanks BioWare. :wub:

You don't need anyone to clarify.

The Victory Pack is now containing an N7 weapon. That is supplementing the current N7 weapon from the Commendation Pack.

It's a smart move. It ensures that even if one cannot participate in the Squad/Personal Goal, they still have a chance at a good reward by participating in the Community Goal.

oh btw! I Love Weekends Multiplayer Events!


I used to love them too, when I actually got the rewards. Now, after not getting packs for the last two operations, I don't think I will be taking part. Posted Image

As long as you are trying to contribute and reviving people when they are down, helping with hacks and not running around randomly on your own to screw up the spawns (not really that big of a deal in silver, but sometimes it bothers people), then the only people who will get angry at you are idiots.

If you aren't confident, then just hang out near a team mate and help cover them or something. Eventually you will get comfortable.
