I wasn't surprised at all. It was a challenge we were supposed to fail.

If we couldn't kill 4 million Banshees how the heck were we supposed to manage 400,000 FULL extractions against the Reapers?

Squad Goal: Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty
Allied Goal: Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficulty
Special Circumstance: None do read next time

Well if there was a N7 weapon in the victory packs as well I would have maybe played a few more games and contributed. But +1 medigel... I don't actually even want that. So I'm not sad we failed, got the squad goal and I will get a commendation pack and that's all I care about this time (or actually every time unless the one time when we got a N7 weapon in both packs).

[Dorje Sylas]

It's not a shock when they keep moving the goal and timeframe.

[slescens]

You know it's time to find another match when you are teamed up with two Phoenix characters, an adept and a vanguard, and you don't see any biotic powers cast from them for the first 4 waves.

Me(as drell adept): "Hey man, I reaved that brute"
Phoenix Vanguard: *shoots revenant at brute*
Me: *heavy sarcastic sigh, considering talking it out like an elcor, then I throw a cluster grenade*

 Hey all, just got a few replies from Mr. Hollan about this whole situation. Apparently, the announcement was made too early and they are "discussing how to proceed cautiously". I'm not sure what this means, but it could mean we possibly won. Or they just planned to tell us we failed when the DLC drops.

My guess is that the devs are discussing the miscommunication about the full vs. partial exractions and whether or not to allow a victory based on partial extractions. Even though there was a follow-up thread clearly stating that full extractions were required for the community goal, those who do not read the forum may not have been able to make that distinction given the squad goal of only a single extraction.

^this

also, devs always clarified/updated their posts about operations so that everyone knows the exact conditions exept for this time.
hell they even gave us the wrong date the operation was supposed to end.

inb4 conspiracy...

Not surprised, there's no money involved in wave 11.

[Seekerr047]

Or, it's a possibility we aren't any good at fighting reapers.....
Historical precedent would point towards this.

I think Banshees scare the nubs....

As a whole[community] there'd be a bellshaped curve displaying how badly most people suck. I'm happy I did my squad goal on gold on our first try, it was cake.

[LeVaughnX]

Gold is a real pain in the ass now especially with all the glitchers, and tons of people who join Mass Effect 3 only for the Multiplayer (note these guys haven't even touched any of the other games / didn't care for single player). That and I keep getting into matches with level 30's to 50's who don't know a damn thing about what to do - or my connection drops every 30 minutes on the dot.

Bioware get your **** together please. Fix the ending, fix your multiplayer, stop feeding us lies, and just say...

""We joyously inform you that you're all stupid and we hate you. We will lie, we will fail, you will fail because you suck though hruhurhurhuhruhr.""

[Drayce333]

I blame no splash screens for events on PS3.

I guess Multiplayer is also dying.

They later stated that they needed FULL extractions on the Broadside thread.

Read the dev responses in the main thread next time.

Actually BW did not post that we failed, nice attempt a a troll post considering how many fools believed you. Kids, if a post isn't written by bioware always assume it to be false.

Bioware did post that we failed. The thread was created by Jessica Merizan.
It's just gone now.

LOL riiiiight.... no one believes you, troll somewhere else plz, kthxbai

Except hundreds of people saw it. Riiiiiiiight.... leave the forums now, please. We don't want people like you contaminating it.

How come I can't find the OP's source ? According to the screenshot it should be on "Multiplayer discussion" and since it's been written by a Bioware official it should be easy to find, but it's not...

Also, why post a screenshot of the thread instead of simply posting a link to the thread? I can't help but find that suspicious...

Because it was deleted.

+1

actually we are quite good at killing reapers.
"historically speaking" the community was far better at hunting banshees, rather than phantoms.
just the amout of kills asked of us was, let's say, a little overwhelming

[FrozenPhoenix71]

I wouldn't be that shocked if we did fail, just discouraged. Once I saw that the ending time was wrong, I was grinding out Bronze games best I could/longest I could stand.

[Cloaking_Thane]

No one plays this game anymore

[nuyo]

The problem is most people spent their time trying and failing the squad goal. Most people didn't have time to concentrate on community goal. Also it didn't help that the goal occurred at a time when a lot of players were farming for the new dlc

 Seriously, guys?

Umm... yeah.  400,000 full extractions was an insane goal.  I expected to fail all along.  I still got a good 6 or 7 full extracts, but it was way too high.

I'm a bronze player, I knew I wasn't good enought to play gold, not even close.That didn't stop me from playing bronze both days for the allied challenge. The lobby always filled up fast, no shortage of players. A lot of the players were just starting out, some under level 10. It was their first operation. It was nice to see them level up. We had some good times. Have you forgotten why people play this game......to have fun?

Well then you were doing it correctly; I wish there more players like you.

Also probably discussing the mass confusion over the end time of the event. I mean, I messaged Derek Hollan about it yesterday to know whether I should keep playing reapers past 10am PST Sunday, due to Chris having a brain fart in the operation thread.

One of my friends thought it was done and over with, but then I told him the blog had a different end time, and he switched the room from random to Reapers just in case our full extractions would still add to the community goal. We did that entirely on a wing and a prayer because nobody from Bioware confirmed a freakin' end time/day until this morning... when the operation was over. Had I not told my friend about the blog post, he would have just played random enemies while the operation was still active.

[AzureSky899]

At least we'll get the squad goal, most games were partial or lone survivor though, don't make challenges catered to one difficulty, otherwise people step outside their boundaries, people who aren't meant for that difficulty, can you imagine if they say a challenge on Platinum?

[ShadowHound]

I guess I'm the only one that's surprised we couldn't make 400,000 full extrats. Out of all the people who play and of those people who do play you would think they'd KNOW to be at extract. It mean its the EXTRACTION WAVE. Then again, like someone mentioned, they weren't very clear on the details of the 2nd half of the mission until later.

[Lokiwithrope]

400,000 Full Extractions is not alot. I'm disappointed, guys.
