Why do these operations only happen on weekends? There are people out there who do work or have other things to do that may keep them from playing. They really need to do operations that last a full 7 day week. That would give everyone the best chance of getting to play the game.

If they do a full week Ops, then they can simply jack up the target goals. Like this operation goal could be 1.5 million extractions for the allied goal if it was all week long.

This would be fair for most people. In particular, this operation's early end time means I can only play Friday given the things I have to do this weekend, and I wont be able to play long. But I don't think any of my ME3 friends will be on that day.

In future, rather than just saying one Gold match, we should get a choice of either completing one gold match to get a comm pack or completing 5 silver matches for those of us that can't do gold.

Gold.... hmm too easy why can't it be something more challenging, and I want the DLC to contain something good, maybe new guns or some interesting species as new characters, and something besides the original standard multiplayer game-style.

Why does it end so early on Sunday, rather than the normal Late Sunday/Early Monday? I realize you're starting it earlier on Friday, but most people have to work on Friday, so that really only gives them Saturday to play? :(


While I take most people think that the world (and in a small matter gaming) revoles around America it's good to see EA/Bioware cater for those of us gamers that are on the other side of the world like Australia. As now instead of the operation happening on Sunday/Monday for those of use in the GMT +16 hours time zone, this operation will now commence for us at 5am Saturday and finsih Sunday night.

As stated kudos to both EA/Bioware for actually thinking about the gamers in the other parts of the world and hopefully it will not be the last time that an operation starts at this time. :happy:

what's the differencie between "Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty" and complete a mission on gold against reapers?

Because you can technically call a run a success if the timer runs out but someone's still mashing the delay death space bar. You just don't get the extraction point bonus(last man standing, partial extraction, full extraction)

EDIT:  That is, everyone in the squad has been gunned down and mashing space bar to hang on for dear life when the timer hits zero.

Personal experience from Operation Savage as proof.  I was doing solo White Geth Bronze, they took me down 3 seconds before the timer hit zero.  The result music was the extraction music instead of the failure music.  Didn't get extraction that time, but I did the same run again and got full extraction soloing.

Aw, I wish it wasn't gold though, but I'm sure I can manage it. It'd be alot harder than previous challenges though.

 But . . .is it really ending Sunday morning?  Instead of Monday morning? And starting Friday morning instead of Friday evening?

They're planning something . . . .

Does any body know if by extractions Its total extractions or each person extracted? I know this is probably a stupid question but I'm due one.


I'm hoping it means each person.  I had the same thought/question.

I don't see anyone asking but I hope someone can clarify this for me...

For the squad goal, "Extract at least one squad member...."

Must it be someone other than yourself extracting?

Another way of asking is if a person were to solo gold himself/herself or end up being the only person on the whole team to extract succesfully,will the aforementioned person be credited for the squad goal?Or will only the rest of his team members complete the squad goal?

Werid question I know but in my mind, I'm reading it as "YOU must extract at least one squad member" rather than "Have at least one member of the squad extract successfully"....though I believe it is most likely the latter.

TIA

Nope still across the 2 days I believe In Australia it will be from Saturday morning to Monday morning instead of a Sunday to Tuesday weekend which is normally the case for us.

It is just EA/Bioware looking after the people on the other side of the world from the USA.

I am sure that it will go back to the normal weekend times for the next operation.

I just think that EA/Bioware may be experimenting with some adjusted times and seeing how it goes. Hopefully a mixture of times will happen after this weekend to cater for those in the two vastly different time zones. :wizard:

I think the general idea is just "GET AT LEAST ONE GUY OUT OF THERE".  No need to read that deep into it. Partial and Full extraction are definite >1, after all.

I let it slide last time, but if they don't do it right this time and dispense accordingly, I'll be sure to let them know.

Stock up on medi-gels and rockets kids. If the randoms who've been playing (on pc) this week is any indication of how the weekend will go.......you're going to need all the help you can get.

It does. It used to cap at 10 (along with the other d-pad/number key consumable items) for about a week, then it was reduced to 5. Anyone with anything over 5 got grandfathered and kept their increased cap.

If we get the allied goal, the cap for medi-gel only will be increased to 6. So people with overmax 'gel capacity will not get any potential upgrades. Yet.

I hope I get my commendation pack this time without going through EA support.. every single operation I did, I had to resort to EA support :/.
