I'm thinking that with all the persistent server issues, there was a lot of traffic this weekend....choosing to see the thermal clip as half full....we had to make it with all of that traffic....


I disagree. Because of the squad goal, many players (specifically bronze) were playing on gold level and having a hard time doing it, which limited the amount of bronze players getting full extractions (because let's face it, a bronze player is going to have a harder time on gold than a silver player is, thus they take longer to succeed) and also screwed all hopes of gold being able to carry us through because gold matches were littered with bronze players. That leaves it up to the silver players that succeeded to try to get the most full extractions. Also, many players didn't know that full extraction was necessary until halfway through the event, so that limited our extractions. (like someone said earlier, we should be striving for full extraction anyways. But many people are lazy and just don't care. I played a match the other day where we could have gotten full extraction, but the guy just sat there and kept sniping, not even caring about extraction.) Just because we had a lot of traffic doesn't mean everyone was playing reapers, which also takes away from that. Remember that Cerberus and Geth, being easier, are played much more often than Reapers, which are probably only played 1/5 of the time, if that. All of those variables added up make our chances of success slim. If we succeed, I will truly be astonished. 


Yeah, I will say there was noticeably more pronounced boneheadedness this weekend with regard to the full extraction. If you miss the FE, you at least like to know that the player was thinking about it and were running to the extraction zone as time expired. I don't chalk it up to laziness or ignorance, but more to ego. I seriously think that most folks who do it are trying to see thier name at the top of the squad list after the game, even though it hurts the XP payout for everyone, including themselves....all for a couple husks or cannibals as someone else mentioned. Hate that! Image IPB

Let me ask..... maybe

Squad Goal: Success
Allied Goal (whole BW Community who played this game): FAILED

if this is really what really happened, i want to said

WOW !!!! i don't believe it 400.000 Squad is so small and simple task yet we failed???

i Just.....don't believe it !!!

Full extraction on Bronze are also simple and easy......and some of you skilled guy will never take too much sweat.

did some of you guys are an Elitists who want to get full extraction on Silver by fighting the Raepass???? (this is Reapers nickname for me, no need to be corrected)

Or some of you maybe at the comic cons so didn;' have time to do this?

I just asking in here and not trolling because this is such a simple task for Allied Goal and we failed as N7 Operations.

THE GALAXY DOOMED !!!!

Even if you play gold like me, bronze is gonna take some time, 10-15 min maybe? So I prefere to play gold and complete it in 30min and get the 75k credits. But the influx of bronze players in gold messed the FE because people where dying left and right, you can't revive someone after a banshee mele kill...on a side note anyone can die from banshees, especially when they sneak up at you from behind :(....

You got that right, don't forget their awesome vacuum grab from well outside their range.. I don't normally play gold, I'm more of a casual player but the one that I did contribute over the weekend was totally successful... except for me being banshee murdered on the extraction round.  Other than that, had many full extractions on bronze, had no trouble with inexperienced players or bad gear loads.

This is not a simple task. We failed the 3 million banshee challenge. Killing banshees is not dependent on completing the mission. Here we had to get 400,000 *full* extractions against reapers. That in itself would allow anwhere between 2-5 million banshees killed  banshees to be killed easily, in the successful games alone.
Think of all the failed games. The games where everyone was alive and just at the last second a Ravager gets a shot in and you're down with a second to go and no medigel. Think about all of the bronze players who would normally do ok on bronze, raided the gold lobbies and dragged them down. Think how many banshees alone would have been killed if the allied goal was reached plus all the failed missions. Probably in the region of 8 or 9 million. If we only got 1.9m earlier in the games life, when more people played it, we don't have the slightest chance of getting it now. 
It was an entirely unrealistic goal.

lol :D

happened to me several times. its a pain in the ass that they even can grab you through walls and pulls you metres from where you stand.

another mad thing is that they sometimes appear invisible (after breaking their barrier) or getting invulnerable against any attacks. firing rounds of ammo and they take not a single scratch

If we did fail, I'll be interested to see what the "penalty" is- it was actually more interesting to have banshees thrown in randomly after the last one then getting some lame upgrade for a weapon i never use (yes I'm looking at you fricken eagle VI).

I played alot of Bronze/Silver matches and a few Gold..
I thought it would be easy to get 100 000 full extractions on Bronze, since we are so many..
But I guess it's true that alot of us Bronzies spend our time trying to get the Gold challange completed and just didn't have the stamina for Bronze/Silver after that..

Maybe it could be an idea to do one weekend Bronze/Silver and one Gold/Platinum..

 I  also did not see it on Origin. However, when I launched the game, and checked the downloadable content it was there. I am downloading it now for PC.

Tried gold a couple of times, way underpowered to deal with a bunch of Brutes and a seemingly never ending supply of Banshees, after that experience I don't believe anyone can solo gold, unless they are using Cobra's all the time?

I stuck to silver and bronze after that, too many people being picky about who was trying to join the lobby, yeah I may have a rubbish N7 score compared to the guy with 300+ (saw someone with close to 4K), but I will still do my best to support and revive.

That's very true. All weekend I'd hop into lobbies and people would spend more time picking their gear load out than actually playing. They'd bump players below 100 or 200. The brilliant thing is: For the round that we got full extraction on gold there was one guy who had an N7 of 18 and another guy with one in the 40s. Mine is a smidge over 200. Only two of us had mics, but with lots of chatting and direction we pulled it off!
