ok, and? this doesnt change anything as far as i'm concerned....i intend on playing this weekend, and there are lower level guys in all factions, so i'll be contributing to the goal...unless you arent gonna play except doing thie squad goal, then it shouldnt bother you either....

They confirmed that last week was the only week to have a twofer until further notice.

What surprises me is that people thought the twofer was going to be the norm.

It really shouldn't be that surprising that people thought the N7 weapons in victory packs was going to be a thing. But anyway I guess now we can go back to not giving a flying fruit basket about the allied goals. At least they picked a reasonable number for this one though so we probably won't see a repeat of OP silencer and we'll all still get our crappier JEP's

victory pack isn't worth the hassle. if the community hits the goal, then cool, but i'm not going to be someone to play for hours to receive equipment that i can get at any time.

if this is true, i won't be disappointed, just not motivated to help out.

Quit trying to take advantage of Bioware. Honestly, they do one superspecialawesome thing and now you want it every challange!?! Not Cool!!

[GodlessPaladin]

Victory packs without N7 weapons are significantly worse "rewards" than what we got the one time we actually failed a mission (mixing up the monotony with new enemy combinations)

[Serevarno]

They should just make the victory pack equivalent to a spectre pack and be done with it.

Everyone should just play long enough to get the Squad Goal, then stop playing until the challenge is over in protest of this crap. If I want a Recruit pack, I'll just buy a couple for 5k instead of working my ass off all weekend for a "free" Recruit pack.

Otherwise, everybody would soon have Valiant X and Hurricane X and there would be some balance problems.

The only balance problems are the ones people concoct in their heads!

But making N7 weapons harder to obtain does keep their appeal up.  I'm already behind a couple compared to those that started playing earlier so it incentivizes me to continue playing for them.

This is probably best this way. Otherwise, everybody would soon have Valiant X and Hurricane X and there would be some balance problems. Might still get to that point eventually, just at a slower pace. Even so, most of the N7's are useable at Level I, so it's not that bad.

As it stands, if Bioware were to continue giving out N7's in Victory packs, the earliest anyone could get those 4 weapons to level X (at least legitimately) would be February.
Sure, some lucky people would end up with Hurricane or Valient at X within the next few months, but it would still take a while even with up to 2 N7's per week. Now, it's going to take so long that I start to have doubts as to whether or not the multiplayer will still be around for 32 more events.

I think you're using some bad math there.  If both packs include N7 weapons every event that would be, in effect, one N7 weapon per week.  Thus, even starting just from today's event it would be possible (though highly unlikely) for someone to max a weapon in 10 weeks.  Even at the 1-per-event rate, it would be 20 weeks.

Whoops, I mistyped, It's 2 N7 weapons per two weeks. It still ends up in early February when we would have theoretically been able to get all four up to level X.

(Yes, I did count this out :-P)

It would take 6 months.

[MajesticKill]

they built it up by making the week before a guaranteed rare then last week a guaranteed N7. It made it seem like they were trying to decide on a worthy prize for the victory pack

[Stance Punk]

No one cares about the victory pack if the reward isn't worth the time put in.

They're not really equivelant to recruit packs, they're actually  worse jumbo equip. packs. I wholeheartedly agree that we should protest the lack of N7's in our victory packs though.

It's not so much the weapon levels themselves, it's the fact that they would be so easily obtainable. N7 weapons and ultra-rares are supposed to be special. N7s aren't meant to be something that anyone can get so easily every other week. 2 N7s per week would be fine if one of the challenges would be especially difficult.

[WeAreLegion-]

wait what? i did the squad goal and only got a victory pack, i opened it and saw an N7 so i assumed they put both packs together. now you guys talk about a victory pack N7 and a commendation pack N7? WTF

I concur, this way it's not worthless, but niether is it uber awesome.

[Seifer006]

how is it possible to get a N7 Weapon to X??
The only way I know of is: these Weekend Operation runs.....PSP don't carry the N7 Weapons Unlocks and Upgrades or do they?

[landylan]

who do we blame for this? is it chris's's's fault?

And I misread your post anyway as I thought it was referring to a single weapon.

Regardless, I don't think it's a big deal for players who would actually care about having level X N7 weapons, meaning those who play a lot.  All but one (from what I read here about the Eagle; I've dodged that bullet so far) are effective right from level I and there are still ultra-rares for most of us (those who don't play 24/7 or spend lots of money) to chase.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a Hurricane X, but if I never do that's not going to sour me on the game.

What does sour me a bit on Bioware's handling of this game is if they set event goals that certain players simply cannot achieve without spending money on a lot of packs.  A person buying the game fresh or just starting out on multiplayer cannot meet this weekend's squad goal unless they get a lucky rare.  Denying those folks a shot at one of the N7 weapons seems really dumb.

In other words, I'd find it perfectly acceptable if each player was guaranteed one N7 for completing either of the goals this weekend, while it's only kind of annoying that I could only get one.

Personally, it makes sense that there is a smaller VP award this week, as they aren't asking you to do anything differently. An equipment pack would be plenty. The targets are basic troopers across all factions across all difficulties. If you play the game at all, you contribute without changing your behavior in the slightest. Other community goals asked you to change the faction you play against; this one does not.

[Ibn_Shisha]

If it will not be a Mastiff-type VP, will at it least be a Shieldwall-type VP (chance of gold)?

[Endcat]

If half the N7 weapons are going to be disappointing crap, then they should give out two per event.

Just my $0.02. I've gotten three Crusaders, three Eagles, and one Hurricane. I'd like more opportunities for worthwhile equipment.
