Let's be honest... 400,000 successful matches was a pretty frickin' easy target. 400,000 =squads= extracted is more of a challenge. One I'm happy to say I've done with all but two of my "weekend 10" matches.

Meh. The reward for the community goal usually sucks, anyway. If they put in another Commendation pack in there, then I'd care.

You don't think +1 maximum Medigel capacity is worth contributing a few full extractions?

With Platinum just around the corner, I'll take any boosts I can get. I'm sure there are people here who feel the same.

My thoughts exactly. I for one would love the medi-gel boosts. I hope they do a rocket cap boost too sometime soon.

I imagine we'll get a chance to raise the cap on every in-game consumable at some point, now they've got the ball rolling. Hopefully in future the targets won't be quite so... 'optimistic'.

Damn. What if BioWare is making us fail so we match up with the storyline? And they sacrifice themselves to complete the Synthesis ending. What if they try and control the Reapers? Wait...they already control the reapers! Is it too late? I'm scared! Call a scientist!

Seriously though, we're done for. I wonder what our punishment for failing will be.

[Cyberfrog81]

Yeah, I don't see this happening. I mean, I haven't even been able to motivate myself to do bronze yet, recalling that even if it's just 15 mintues of your time, some fffffffff(cut) is always going to run off and get himself killed while trying to improve his score.

I can't see us making 400k full extractions. If it were just an extraction, sure.

We also expanded out the time window, before the event was starting at 18:00 PST on friday, we started at 9:00PST on friday. This would allow the European users to be able to contribute another day. Which is a pretty healthy amount of people..

Plus lots of people are chipping in, I am t 16 full extractions so far, personally.

Brian Johnson is a cool name.

Yeah.... "full squads" would have made it very clear.

No it wouldn't have.

You'd have people asking "Do solo runs count?" or "What if someone gets disconnected/leaves the match and we only extract 3 people?".

People always question things they're told. It's human nature.

[jamesfrom818]

I don't want +1 to medigel. I like having 5s across the board for consumables.

I don't know why you're so insistant on defending their ambiguous wording.  Simply changing the text to 
Achieve 400,000 full extractions against Reapers on ANY difficulty would have saved any need for further clarification.

But hey, it is what it is.  I'll still do my part to help this weekend.  But I'm not very optimistic this is something we can achieve.

You're really fighting this, huh? There is no way that adding "full extraction" to the operation description would do anything except improve understanding.

Of course you're still going to get questions, but arguably you'd have less people that mistakenly thought they were contributing yesterday.

Thank you for that... Because I was always bothered that the events would start at middle of the night. :happy:

Bioware... It's really easy to setup reporting so we can track stats like successful squad extractions, successful completion of squad objectives at all (I should know, I do large scale BI reporting for a living)... why isn't this a feature we have available to us to see how we're progressing towards the goal?

Agreed. They must have a counter going to determine if we complete the community challenge or not. All they need to do is make it visible to us.

I'm not arguing that point.
The fact that you seem to think that my argument is "They shouldn't ever add 'full extraction' because people should understand it no matter what!" is proof enough of the point I'm making.

Even when you make the most concise and clear statement, people will attempt to try to find some way to go against the grain. Especially when there's something they want involved.

Of course you're still going to get questions, but arguably you'd have less people that mistakenly thought they were contributing yesterday.

You do realize it was actually clarified fairly early on yesterday by Derek Hollan in the "Operation Broadside" thread, right?

Actually it's more than that. I've just done four bronze matches in a row to help out. 2 out of 4 were ruined by people who didn't bother to extract, making those 12-15 minutes completely useless.

Nobody I talk to believes me when I say it requires full extraction. They say: "the splash screen didn't say anything about full extractions!"

11 full extractions of 12 games in bronze, and more to come tonight

[Cohen le Barbare]

Bioware, you really need to start using in-game terminology when describing weekend events. You only confuse your fanbase with how they are written. I did around 15 games in silver, and thought I contributed pretty well, but I now know that at least 3 games won't count. 

It can't be that hard to write:

Squad Goal (partial extraction included) : Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty
Allied Goal (full extraction only): Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficulty
Special Circumstance: None

You could/should even use capital letters for clarity's sake.

The worst thing is that you say "special circumstance: none". That contradict the "full extraction only" requirement of the allied goal. If you meant "use this or that character", then say it clearly. Think about your non-english spoken fan base...<_<

[Armenhammer]

I just had a thought. If you were to Full extract would that count as 1 for all players totalling 4 collectively? if thats the case then only 100k games need full outs. If not then we have work cut out for us :-D

I wouldn't bet on it. Still, we can hope, I suppose.

[Cohen le Barbare]

No full extraction means all the players in the squad count as one. So 4 guys soloing = 4 full extractions.

[Lajkos]

first ppl whine that community goals are to easy and now when we get a challenging communtiy goal ppl whine that it is to hard. Who would have known

[Necrotron]

While I usually full extract every game on Reaper gold, with the influx of people who don't usually play gold, it's been a rough weekend so far.

My last game that was easily heading to a full extraction failed because of the stinkin' Vanguard fall off the map bug. So...round 9, game over. I couldn't move.

Will try again tonight.

Oh good, only partial is required for the gold.  Nailed that first match.

I guess I could help the community goal.  Reaper Bronze full extraction?  Ha!  Easy.
