Going to be playing exclusively Reaper Bronze games until end of the challenge just to boost the score, not that i believe community would be going to achieve that goal after seeing the amount of U/U games in progress.

I did at least 15 or so Full Extractions on Bronze, and about 7 or so Full Extractions on Gold.

 I have done 399,000 so I think we will be ok.

BW has all necessary data to set the community goal to a value that will result in the desired outcome. They don't give us any hint / counter to see the community progress and thus we can't work on it in a meaningful manner.

Therefore I'd say the real question if we complete the community goal is not if we get anything together, but only if BW wants a success or not.

EDIT: It means 100000 players should get about 16 full extractions (fixed). But it depends how many active players there are.

I wonder if Xbox rocket glitchers count. If they do those would be a lot of 'free' extractions...

Only if they're too late.  Otherwise, it can make sense to spend 90 seconds drawing enemies to the other side of the map, as opposed to defending a relatively difficult-to-hold extraction point (e.g., Ghost, Jade, Reactor) for two minutes.

I am playing only bronze this weekend and we get full extraction most of the time. Still, I really doubt we are gonna make it. Many players don´t know they need to aim for full extraction and many others are spending time in gold games, which takes longer and has lower chance of FE. And 400.000 would be pretty hard even without those circumstances.

True,given the 3 million banshee benchmark they had for a previous operation,the only one we failed so far,lol.I really doubt their internal stats at that time showed us capable of wiping out that many banshees over the course of a weekend for them to set such a goal.

I don't think double counting  works when it comes to the allied goal.So I think it should be 400000 instances of full extracts,not players.Some of that 100000 people might actually be on the same team.

IMO,a full extract only counts once towards  the allied goal.Not one for each member on the team that fully extracted at that time.

They weren't clear, if it's 400k full extractions, I don't think so, if its 400k extractions where only a full extraction count, assuming a 4 count per full extraction then all we really need are 100k full extraction games.
Which is more than do able.

@100regegade
Depends on how many hours each player puts in. Assuming a match runs 30 mins and each person puts in 8hours and all are full extractions, we need 25,000 players going at it.

Judging from the Global ranking ladder, there aren't that many of us for that long.
Unless all I can see are global PC rank.


Thanks for taking the time, the question is how big is actually the player base... That I do not know and its hard to calculate without it. So we know it is actually 400k full extractions. The easiest way to complete this goal is when everyone does solo runs of bronze. I make the brave assumption that the average player can solo bronze in 20 mins (which is highly unlikely),  will never fail to get full extraction and that there is a player base of 25000. Then still this average player has to spent 5,333 hours playing solo... Even this ideal scenario sounds highly unlikely...

I doubt it with the uopcoming DLC everyone is just creditwhoring Glacier/Cerberus.... basically they dangled ONE piece of bait and then dropped a chest full of food next to it and expected us all to bite the single piece...

I have a bad feeling, I went down to bronzr to farm extractions, 7 out of 10 games did not have ull, players, and yes even high N7's were off shooting and missed the ship, I am just doing solo's.

I can solo bronze Cerberus in 15. I'm sure Reapers won't be that much harder barring the odd unfortunate magnet grab. Beside there's no real rocket opportunities vs. Cerberus, there might be vs. Banshees. Ofcourse I am one of the many who are creditwhoring...

This!

On the other hand, if we don't make it and they have that ticker, they can't fudge results so we still get the reward. Nothing would be more discouraging than a failed allied goal.

They really need to add realtime stats to the site in the multiplayer manifest.

If you can do it in 15 mins then you can do your part of the allied goal if 4 hours ;) I actually did try it and got so bored after the 3rd time that I decided to not do it again...

Done about 30ish, I'd have done more if I had more time on my hands.

Doesn't half slow the process down when you choose:
Any - Reapers - Bronze
& Get put into:
Unknown - Cerberus - Silver
Like...seriously...

I think we're making ok progress though & I'm hopeful that we'll hit it. I think enough people still have the common sense to go for Full Extraction (had more Full Extractions this weekend than in the last month).

O'really?They couldn't seem to care less.We failed the the op to kill 3 mil banshees and they did not fudge it up to give us the victory packs.Hell,they even told us that we failed miserably with only about slightly more than a million banshee kills IIRC and sent us packing with a banshee galore penalty.No ticker at that time either.

You're right, I fixed my post. School was a long time ago for me already :/

400000 squads indeed, which is 1600000 individual extractions (if you go for 4 people per match getting full extraction).

Yeah it does get boring as hell Bronze is slow as hell. No rocket opportunities, no GlobalGameSpeed Multiplier, no teammates to have a laugh with, and worst of all: bloody final enemy playing peek-a-boo around the map...

Did 10 solo bronze matches in Glacier (quickest map IMO)  with my MQE.

I'll try and burn out another 10 or so later this Sunday.

I'm not sure we'll do it. It's like last time, we had an impossible goal before the new DLC. There's an excuse in us failing -> new classes will soon reinforce us and all that jazz.

I watched one salarian infiltrator that was inisistant on killing a Brute before getting in the zone. It was at half health with 10 seconds left on the clock when I gave up and just missle'd the damn thing. He ran to the zone after that but then immediately dropped from the lobby. No big loss ;)
