The thing is, if we want to get the community goal, shouldn't we just ramp on bronze after doing a gold run. While its "fun" and challenging to do the higher difficulty runs, we are essentially "farming" extractions and a bronze run takes what, 15min give or take and with a team who intends to complete with full extraction, its a breeze, even with PUGs. Sure, we'll earn less credits in a 30 min period, but get twice the extraction count.

Silver is "better" but unfortunately some PUGs I have been in seem to have more then it's fair share of teammates who just do need know how to boogie to the extraction zone at 20secs to.

Though it could be that I just get irritated more since my perception is that peeps who do Silver or Better should know better.

Absolutely none actually...none. <_<

I have given up intentionally trying to help with the community effort...

Of all the Gold Reaper I passed over this weekend,so far (around 20) only about 1/4 of them had full extraction. So I decided to do it on silver with PUG's to help out the effort. Unfortunately of the 5 I have done so far NONE of them was Full extraction... PUG's are what they are.... PUG's and at least one out of 3 would turn out to be jackass and do some stupid stuff and get themselves killed on wave 11.

I considered solo silver, or even bronze... but that's just boring... I really doubt we can achieve the community goal this time... consider we had problem slaying 2 million banshees a few weeks back...

I actually was with a squad Friday night that made it to full extraction on Gold! It was great to make it out with the whole squad. It was also great because it was my second Gold match!

Haven't. Had. A. Full. Extraction. For. The. Past. 10. PUGs (Bronze/Silver/Gold). What. The. Hell. People. Sigh.

why does it end so early on Sunday morning?

From blog.bioware.com, "Operation Broadside begins at 10am PST Friday July 13 and ends at 4am PST Monday July 16." Says so a few posts above yours.

ahh ok, well in a mad dash of fearing that the challenge was ending soon I went ahead and got it over with. Full Extraction =) lol

Could care less about commendation packs now since I unlocked everything so far, and don't really care about getting N7 guns to X.

Better to keep saving up for the DLC.

Bronze you should get full extraction >90% of the time.
Silver you should get full extraction <10% of the time.
Gold you should get full extraction ~25% of the time.

Silver people are dumb. We have to deal with it.

i do admit that i am not that good of a player but On Bronze, Vault Boy, It should be 100% of the time with Full Extraction even if with a crappy team.

Everyone should be a good bronze player regardless if they play on higher or not.

You would think so, but sometimes people just don't get in the extraction circle or simply die. Just because they should be able to play does not mean they can.

[Pathetisad]

Totally agree.
Bronze should be 100% extraction,
Silver should be around 80 - 90% depending on what map you play

And as I said before the only time (being allowed) I tried Gold, we all made it to Wave 7 and then everybody died. So IDK.  But that was with Geth

I'm considering this is all reaper by the way. No other faction.

[DeathScepter]

you don't need to be a top scorer to be a good bronze player too. as long as you help with the objective, then it will be fine. And knowing the map, weapons, good gear and weapons with certain classes.

For example, I am using Hornet for my Cerberus Adept but I am using an Heavy Pistol as well. Yes I do often use known weapons for the group. Cerberus weapons with Cerberus classes, Geth Weapons for the Geth and so on. Also with the Cerberus Adept, I am loving the Lash, Smash and Heavy Melee abilities a great deal. So Understanding the class is just as important as weapon load out. Understanding gear to supplement play style is important.

And learning where the objective is important. With Extraction and its time limit, knowing where it is important and staying close to it as well. I do tend to stay close to it so we can have at least a partial. Only once I failed on it due to my stupidity and killing brutes because I was in the mood for killing some brutes.

After finding out that we needed full extractions for the allied goal, I began doubting whether it was possible within the presented timeframe. So it's quite a relief to see that we may have almost another full day, after all (at least according to the updated post on the blog).

It can be depressing at times, but don't give up! Yesterday I had some horrible luck with PUGs, but today my hopes have been (mostly) restored. 
Of the (around) 20 Gold games I played, 6-7 ended with full extraction, 6-7 only with partial, and the rest was finished during waves 8-10 (and once on 3). I only tried Silver once, and we didn't get a full extraction.

I also find soloing rather boring. As for the community goal, I think there is still hope with 18 hours added to the timer. I'm pretty sure that more people are playing now than were playing then (what with the DLC and new difficulty coming up) - for example I was on a break during the Banshee challenge, as the game was getting stale.

Oh totally, I'm nearly always in the bottom two with only a few kills but I get loads of  'assists'

Sooo... Is it over?

No, but I'm not sure when it actually ends.

If Chris's first post in this thread is correct, then it ends in 2 hours.

If the Bioware blog is correct, then it ends in 14 hours.

Me and my friends have done x amount of Gold/Silver/Bronze, so here's hoping we get the victory pack and extra gel, our teams been non-stop since it started, jeez we haven't had much sleep lol.

Just proven right. Partial Extraction on Bronze. Someone was banshee grabbed.

Christ. Didn't think I would EVER extract a single time on gold this weekend. I've never had so many disconnects, laggy games, and non-gold players (who I do not mind playing with) in such a short span of time. So much consumables, patience, and time wasted in a few days.

Could swear the game has it out for me, but I got one for the goal. I'm done.

And again...FML.

Pretty good couple of runs overall including several full extracts on gold in a row. My friends and I found that if we didn't extract on gold one game we would switch it to bronze or silver and make up for it there. Overall good weekend and a lot of experience beating up reapers. Even had some full extracts with randoms on gold...

Quick Q, not sure how daylight saving time factors in so I'll just ask here - how much longer do we have?

I make it either twenty or eighty minutes.
