so tell me, do we still get our commendation packs
if so, when do we get them
if not then why the f***k did i do a reaper gold for nothing?

We SHOULD. I still haven't gotten mine though

me niether, i really want that dang crusader soon, and i was hoping that this would carry it, like what was the concept? "the community WILL complete the goal and they will get the med gel cap increase in the commendation."? u know unless they screw up and all, then we gotta change the pack contents.

You don't get them tell tomorrow

You know, it's really rather humorous to read the different reactions of the community. You got those who point the infamous finger, not accepting any responsibility for failure (regardless of their part in the mission). Then you have those who seem to accept it as fact and are ready to move on for the next mission.
I can't help but wonder how many people have ever really been on a "mission," when they're claiming that errors like poor communication would never happen in real life. Wonder what reality their life is in. Seriously though, try going on a real mission where a dozen of you are tasked to go to destination Alpha and perform tasks X-ray, Zulu, & Charlie. Then when you get to your destination you stop dead in your tracks and exclaim, "Hold the phone up! What the ship is going on here?!" Yeah, call up top to ask why nothing is really matching, just to have top reply that they forgot to mention the FRAGO and how you need to get your asking back in line and complete the mission.
Yep, stuff happens, and life sucks--even virtual life can suck. But I don't really understand why that's a bad thing, most of the time I find such an action quite enjoyable. Too bad so many others haven't figured out how to enjoy that part of life. Oh well, onward to prepare for the next mission!

And then we have the too smug to be smug...

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

This has nothing to do with reading carefully. It was vague, plain and simple. One word in the event description ("full" or "fully") would have clarified everything.

I'm not saying that the community doesn't share in the blame for failing this mission. Even if they had been explicit, we still might have failed, as so many people were busy trying to get the squad goal that they weren't contributing to the allied goal. But it's not too much to ask for better communication from Bioware on these missions, which have repeatedly been vague and at times even inaccurate.

Seemed pretty obvious to me. Squad means whole squad, not one person

Last time I checked I don't work at Bioware, thus it is not my "job" to decipher the wording of the challenges. This is poor communication on Bioware's part. If anything, it should have said FULL EXTRACTION on the special circumstances section, since there are three types of extractions a squad can achieve.. Then there would be no debate about what is being asked of us players.

Since when has squad extraction meant only one person out of 4 gets out? That's not a squad, that's one person. It's not bioware's fault if people can't understand what they mean. It was pretty damn clear in my opinion.
All you people that say "oh i didn't understand what it meant" need to stop whinging. It's over now so get over it

[Eugenesys]

Squad refers to the entire team, not just one person.

Check reknowed dictionaries
http://oxforddiction...h/squad?q=squad
http://www.merriam-w...ictionary/squad
If you prefer wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad

Even if its just one person, its still a squad, albeit, the last remaining member of the squad. When in doubt, use the literal meaning.

Me thinks one need to be part of the legal fraternity when taking part in Mass Effect Operations.
Everytime there is an Operation, one will have to start thinking how one should decipher the requirements. Literal / Golden / Mischevous....etc

When i first read the goal on the splashscreen, i thought, ok. lone survivor / partial extractions still count. I only read about the full extraction requirement around page 30+ when forumners were talking about it, and that was a sunday...

This is poor communications and it has happened before in previous operations. Even the Mass Effect 3 game set a precedent [ http://kotaku.com/59...sely-advertised ]

I'm not a lawyer nor an english professor so when in doubt to the meaning of a word, i'll prefer to let the experts do the talking....

Operation Broadside Weekend Failed.


you're not getting a victory pack. Commendation packs should come out tomorrow sometime.

Maybe the failure has nothing to do with people misunderstanding the requirements. Maybe that is just because not as many people are playing online anymore, compared to how many were 2-3 months ago.

In my honest opinion. I think online co-op is losing. Yeah, people still play, hell I even log in from time to time to just kill some stuff, but not nearly as much as I used to. But I think by the end of the year, online co-op will be for the most part dead. Some will still be around, but not a many.

I only played a round or two for the reaper extraction.

When ME3 was fresh and new I didnt mind playing multiplayer to bump up my singleplayer game.

Multiplayer can sometimes be fun ....but now its become annoying to HAVE to play just for the improved cut scenes. I do like the game but for a game that I paid for it feels too much like a job to play multiplayer just to replay the game.

And the rewards from the past comm packs for me just wasnt worth the time invested. Let alone xboxcards used in the past for ultrarare upgrades.

Besides eabioware still has not fixed my collector rifle upgrade that I purchased from buying the razor onza controler about 3 months ago. Ive yet to recieve a response about that issue and ive pretty much just counted that code as a loss.

Can be fun but to much of a chore to have to play to better the single player cut scenes anymore.

[OoTOMBSoO]

of course it failed, my xbox froze every match at wave 10 and more often on extraction. A progress bar somewhere would be mighty helpful. I also agree with many people on the fact that Biowares description is confusing. Just say what the game says ie; lone survivor/partial extraction/full extraction or just put a number that would represents the extraction goal ie: 1 person extracted or 4 persons extracted. Now that would be helpful!

[ASmoothCriminalx]

I fixed my ps3 Saturday night and didn't bother reading this thread again. I should have because I wasn't aware the community goal required squad extractions on Reapers. whoops. I could have contributed more. Oh well, I still completed the squad goal, full extraction just in case.

Say what? Didn't the EC lower the required EMS from 5000 to 3100? That's WELL within the range of EMS points you can gain in the SP...

[SwitchN7]

Good.Bring forth SP DLC and cut the crap.

[inusannonn]

@kogunenjou

yeah they did its just that the rating drops so friggen fast. Can be at 100% one night then log back the next and drop back down to 80%. Not login a few days and it nose dives to 60%.

I donno prob just me just wanting the readiness level to stay at 100% abit longer after time spent then seeing the % nose dive so quickly the next day.

Im no where near the hardcore everyday multiplayer everydayers.

My promotions is only at 36 maybe that is why the % doesnt stick longer.

I wish there was more single player DLC then multiplayer.

[Chool]

I'm hoping they made this challenge because they have an awesome 'consequence' for failing.
I for one thought it was pretty awesome when banshee's were spawning with geth and cerberus last time we failed.
Look on the bright side, hopefully they'll put something fun in that mixes the multiplayer up a little.

[shenryo1983]

Its time to have a real MP store and not some random packs.

If you've got the XBOX version, it's totally allowable to use the Modio and Gibbed Editor programs to adjust your inventories, so long as you don't mess with MP.  True, this seems foolish, considering it should be unlocked, but hey, you can also do stuff like putting "canon FemShep" makeup on unique FemShep, or getting alternate clothing, or even MP weapons INTO SP.

[AwesomeBabyLion]

Too bad, but we gave it our best despite the lack of information. I already knew from the beginning that it was full extractions, but I can see how others where confused. It's too bad, so sad, but nothing more to do about it then try better next time.

The "soon" remark at the end seems both omnious and promising at the same time.

[Forsythia]

Okay, so there's a failed mission, so what? If the missions are too easy, people are complaining there is no challenge. If the mission is too hard and it fails, BioWare and 'noob' players are at fault. BioWare can never win in this one. It's pathetic.

People aren't complaining so much about the toughness of the operation, they're complaining that they were given insufficient information.

The thread said it was ending on Sunday rather than Monday, and there was confusion over the full extraction condition.

[doragonburesu]

It will be a long ride to get the highest promotional weapons . Now i have 3-3 Crusader, Hurricane and Eagle 2. Later i will check on my new pack . :-)

[mikeytp]

Yesterday I finally got the Prothean Particle beam and I like it.

[Cohen le Barbare]

Have they started giving out commendation packs yet?

[AlphaFreak2k]

First I want to say that I love Bioware. And this Community with these chalenges, it's been great. But I can only remotely check this page, I read the chalenge and took it on, so when 4p.m. hit and I got nothing, I was broken hearted. I love these chalenges and Bioware is going above and beyond with FREE DLC, and also looking at what I have to say. I love you Bioware and kiss ass, but you did break my heart this weekend.

[F1NG3RZ-]
