This is a n00b question. Why would you not extract? I get the farming for easy credits, but what is the catch with not finishing Wave 11 & extracting? I must be missing something here, if someone could fill me in.

saves you 2-3 minutes "we'll say 3" of gameplay. if your doing golds in 15 mins and wiping on wave 10 at 75k credits.
that means every 5 games you play you essentiall earn an extra 75k credits by fitting in a full game in the time saved

some people only care about credits so it makes sense. but for me I like to win as much as i like credits

Thanks for that. I agree with you. Sure, credits gets you all the weapons, characters etc. but surely you must actually play the game to win  Isn't that the point of the game & each mission?

I find it absolutely ridiculous that some people, as selfish as they are, won't stick it out for an extra 2 lousy minutes for extraction after they did all that work to get to wave 11.

Especially those who say teamwork is the best way to win at this game. The allied goal gives us a reward for all that teamwork over the span of a prescribed time frame.

You say teamwork... How is dying on wave 11 because u want to save 2 minutes of your life because ur too busy worrying you can make your credits. Just seems like a slap in the face to those who would like to meet the "allied" goal...

It's not their responsibility to help with your desire. OP made a request. Some will honor it, some won't. The game will continue to be fun for me either way.

That extra medigel could make a big difference in platinum.

Yup.

I haven't played ME3 for a while (I have summer school) but I will help the cause this weekend.

Surprised to come on here and see that there is going to be a platinum versino and that the Earth DLC is confirmed.

this whole thread is justa bout this and some people as you see refuse to extract. even this wekend for the team goal. even saying i don't care about a 6th medigel and teh vic pack means nothign to me. well the game sin't about you or any one person. the challenge is for the team. I wish veyrone thought like you and I but tahts not the case

I feel its the responsibilty of everyone who playes this wekend to do their part by playing only reapers and extracting.

whether they live up to it or not is their choice, but eveyrone is responsible for beating it. the same people who arne't trying and purposly failing will have no problem taking their "not earned" victory pack though.

 put yourself before the community. Nice, thanks...that's greatly appreciated

No problem, my 60 bucks thou I can play however I want without caring about operations at all.

There's nothing stopping you from cutting people off on the freeway, either, but it's still a dick move. You deserve criticism. Being able to do something doesn't mean you're not a ****** for doing it.

I am not sure how you get to define other people's responsibilities concerning this game. It feels like you are moving from making a request to fellow players, to demanding we play your way.

I don't even understand why you feel the urge to post anything at all if this is all you have to say. 
I understand even less why everyone feels the need to debate and try and lure you to participating.

Yes, play how you want, and we'll play how we want to.  Though you may not need, I hope you at least appreciate the extra medigel.

Your responsible for not punching someone becuase they pissed you off but it doens't mean you can't punch them. it just means you can shoose to be responsible and walk away or you can choose to be a dick and punch them. just saying

Well from what i've seen from him (and mind you its limited to a few threads) he's a selfish player who likes to try to ****** people off for shock value. At least he's move civil about it then others who immediatly perosnally atatck anyone who differs in opinion

i personally prefer farming reapers, no stun locking rail guns, no hulking machines bursting you down in 4 shots and a missile. banshees barely tickle you. i can slap on an extra 2 minutes for that extraction

reapers are the quickest to beta gold for sure. only issue is getting the OHK. people like geth ebcuase they ahve no OHK. still i haven't played reapers all week becuase i know i'm going to be playing them only all weekend.

your forgetting the grenades, geth dont have those, and out of all geth units, all but one can be grabbed, on reapers you cant grab; Banshees, brutes or ravagers. only husks, marauders and cannibals. IMHO people pick geth simply because its the path of least resistance.

People pick Geth b/c they are the easiest to camp against... hence your 'grabbed' argument. Brutes/Banshees don't shoot, Ravager shots can be telegraphed and dodge easily due to the blue lasers. Marauders and Cannibals are the only real threat... kill them first any Reapers are super easy, but you have to leave cover alot to fight them.

geth =  easiest to beat by camping
ceberus = easiest to beat by MDS or Rambo
Reapers = Fastest to be by MDS or Rambo

no **** thanks for stating the obvious, i did not mention they were easiest to camp as "the path of least resistance" should have been obvious enough, and considering the geth are easiest to camp out is rather common knowledge on the forums. And sure ravager shots can by telegraphed except when there isnt a brute or banshee blocking your way anything happens, you did not point out anything in your argument that no one already knew xD

Hence why the pointless analysis to my comment?

Just summing up your post to make it easier to understand for some people. no reason to be a d*ck about. your comment on my comment was just as pointless based on your thought process. here is a simple thing. If you can't act like an adult or a mature young adult, don't bother posting. nobody wants a bunch of kids spamming the conversation with useless posts and being critical of eveyrone

only the last line was towards you. Sorry for not clarifying, thought it was obvious. the rest was for the guy before you. Atleast i thought you were tying to analyse it, though not being a native english speaker, understanding a meaning then formulating a sentence with correct meaning to response is rather difficult when ones native language is considered among the top 4 hardest to learn to begin with...makes the thought process and translation a bit of a ****.

its all good

[TrveOmegaSlayer]

Bah...Calling the farmers out like this will sooooooooo help the cause.

Anyway I think we reached the quota from a while.
I did around 8-10 Gold extractions I think, will do more today.
I think I'm just an average Gold player, both concerning skills and time I can spend on a game.
My usual group of friends did the same or better.
So I think we need 30000-40000 average players to do it.

New punishment idea for failing Allied Goal:

Less credits earned from Gold


That should encourage more people to help

[Krantzstone]

They should just change it so at the end of every wave, you get X amount of credits, and it saves that, so even if you drop out/lose connection, you still get those credits you earned that wave. Also, people who drop in at the last minute of the last wave won't get a ton of credits for doing SFA, but those who came in half way through the game will still get their share of credits that they worked for.

And if they'd just put in a huge credit bonus at the end of a successful mission accomplished, it would end this cheesy 'suicide on 11' situation. Disincentivizing successful completion of the game is counterproductive: I don't blame farmers for doing what they do because the game is setup that way, but I think it needs to be fixed.

consider this, we failed operation silencer, which is 3 mill banshees. a bronze game usually sees 6-7 banshees.

divide 3 with 6 = 500,00 games vs reapers. and we would have to extract 400K. also consider this, majority of the players played on silver which has 12 or more banshees a game and we still did not get the 3 mill banshees.
so i would not hold my breath over us completing the allied goal

most efficient PuG farming is silver. easy 33-35K 0 consumables used most of the time and average game times even with PuG's easily goes under 17 minutes. where a PuG game on gold usually lasts between 24-34 minutes, 22 if you play with friends. and if you factor in the consumables you easily end up using in a PuG, the less credits from gold would hardly be felt.

Someone was suppose to survive past wave 10? Lo jk jk, had Ful extract against reapers like 6 times this weekend but usualy <.< >.> I die

[Kev87]

the extra medi-gel is not worth the headache really. i have done the allied goal with friends a few times though yesterday. banshee regularly biotic jump and grab someone with 10 seconds left on extraction just to troll the squad.

Dont forget to disable your online feedback in the options, and ensure your fellow farmers also have it off, lest they go and buff the crap out of Cerberus moreso

Reapers are awesome and fun, Geth are boring and annoying. This weekend taught me that. From now on I'm only playing against reapers.

[Killateral DMG]

I always do the extraction when on FBW Geth. It is just 2 minutes, the time it takes you to get yourself killed you are almost halfway through the extraction.
