I don't get why people thought it meant any extraction.

I seem to remember a few Tuesday issuances in months past. Rewriting history now are we?

I agree with some of the previous posts here. The main thing we need can be summed up in one word.

Intel.
We simply need more. Yes, briefings are supposed to be brief obviously, but the lack of intel after the briefing
was really disheartening.

Wow, lots of differing interpretations of the original goal statement. Maybe 50/50 here. Which in itself leads me to conclude it was very vague.

Here's what Chris wrote on this Op:
Allied Goal: Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficulty

Here's what Chris wrote for the previous Ops:
Savage:
"Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with the squad using a mix of krogan, vorcha, or batarian classes"
Mastiff:
"Personal Goal: Extraction on Silver difficulty with one squad member of the Rebellion Pack classes: Vorcha, Phoenix Project "

Eventually, Bioware clarified that in both cases, partial extractions counted.  So, it seems half of you are saying that "squad" in this op is clearly everyone whereas "squad" in the other two was (according to Bioware), not.

Well it's hardly a surprise. The original post about the op didn't say it had to be a full extraction to count towards the community goal, that information was added later.

The other thing is the full extraction. Half the time people will purposely die after the wave 10 objective has been completed. There is no incentive to extract at all let alone get a full extraction unless you're doing speed runs. Questionable dlc weapons that may not ever get used is not incentive to put any effort into getting a full extraction.

I was on a team that made Full on Gold/Reapers/Hydra Friday night, no hiccups.  However, the game still shows 0 Gold finishes for the 'Unwavering' achievement.


Is this a reflection of what the challenge system sees as well?    Given the choice between a frowny face and a Commendation Pack, I'd much prefer a Commendation Pack tomorrow.

While I would really love to see a breakdown of how close we got, I would prefer a ratio of hours spent asking/****ing about it to BW caring.

Hydra doesn't count. It wasn't one of the original six maps.

I was quietly hoping that might be the case.  Thanks!

[emptybraincase]

First post. Ever. My apologies. Had busy weekend. My only gold victory was also full extraction, and will admit to stopping there.

I know it doesn't matter what I interpreted the orders to mean, but I read it as more than 1 squad member had to extract. Basically anything but sole survivor (partial or full),so I can see where the confusion arises even tho I was truly just hoping. I actually felt it was likely full extraction.

I also got to see and report my first missle cheat on ps3 yesterday.

Because the details did NOT specify that we had to have full extractions until the middle of the event.

you're using the word squad but cutting out "member", which this event lacked. in the personal goal, squad member refers to one member of the squad, so it is much more specific. In the squad goal, you're simply taking squad out of context. Neither of these can be used as an example because the first one isn't saying nearly the same thing, and the second one clearly refers to one squad member, not just the squad.

I'm pretty sure the germans were told they'd win the war until pretty much the end of the 'event'...

Live with it, check it off, and continue fighting, soldier...

i was at work so i'm glad i didnt waste my time. the promotional weopons are useless any way it takes far too long to level them up and considering all my other weopons are on 10 why would i bother with a lvl 1 anything?!

If it wasn't specified for you guys then always assume Full Extraction.

This is the first operation since the EC. I imagine the playerbase has shrunk somewhat.

It has almost always been Wednesday. Tuesday is the day that we find out if we succeeded or not.

not really. it's the players' faults for not reading carefully, or asking to make sure.

and as someone pointed out earlier, you guys should be striving for full extraction anyways.

Exactly Bioware isn't to blame for the failure it's us

[Leones Maneres]

Personally I participated in at least 10 (proabably more) over the weekend...ok, maybe 15 or more...in all of that - I'd say I only saw full extraction - Bronze level - about 1/2 the time because there seems to ALWAYS be one nudnick who wants the glory, or just loses track of the timer, and waits too long to retreat back to the pickup zone.

And no, the OP did NOT specify that squad meant FULL extraction. An assumption was made about the community understanding this goal that was clearly in error.
