Gee, I'm sorry for not wanting to extract. If they offered a better carrot, I may extract. But the carrot is currently a Bonus exp. card or a LV IV ammo. Which is not good at all.

Or potentially rare gear, (or potentially an ultra rare--I don't know if the Victory Pack is coded to potentially have it. Would be ridiculous not to) in a pack which you are not paying credits for, while doing things which earn you credits over the weekend.

I'm not sure how that is a "terrible carrot".
Just extract. You might like it.

Why don't you both shut up and take it to another thread. This entire argument is unrelated to the topic in this one and it's getting annoying.

Have they clarified what would you get if you have all new earth characters maxed? Otherwise it's just one normal match then back to plat farming.

A "rare card" probably meaning an XP bonus card or level IV ammo.  http://social.biowar...x/13312470&lf=8


Oh well, it's a waste of my time to worry about the Allied goal then. Good luck to the rest of you.


exactly. most players are with you buddy.

Why is everyone so short-sighted? Yeah, the rewardmight not be that big a deal this week, but have you noticed failed OP's usually DO mean something for the next one? Perfect example being the longer extraction for this weekend. C'mon people!

I used to extract, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Fine by me.

I'm not the one who's going to be spending upwards of 3 minutes raging at the host and two of his friends in a match going through Extraction. :lol:


Only I'm gonna be the host and you will be the only one raging about how your the only one trying for extraction

Sorry buddy, I don't ever join random matches. I only host or play with friends--who all go for Extraction.

Guess I don't have to worry about ever having to carry your scrub self then.




You seem to be understanding that scrub means good player that undstand the game and its reward system. No, scrub means horrible whiney players like yourself. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Not really.

A "scrub" is an underskilled player who believes they have the skill and ability to play with the big dogs, and acts accordingly.
I.e. they "talk the talk" but do not "walk the walk".


Well thats not true but that discription fits you as well so feel free to use it to refer to yourself. 

I fail to see how ntrisley is the "scrub" here. You're the one who doesn't want to help the team or the community, you're the one that just wants to quit after he gets all of his money, and you're the person who would go and kill himself when the rest of the team is trying to extract because he doesn't think that it's worth it. Tell me, if the entire rest of the team is trying to extract, and you won't leave until you get your credits, why die? You're still gonig to be sitting there for the three minutes watching them play, so why not stay alive and help them out and give them a chance at a full extraction and actually PLAY the game?


He's the first to be kicked after extract.

Define "most players" because this thread seems to be split 50/50 and the BSN is home to the best/worst ME3 players. And there are still thousands of players who aren't visiting these forums who are most likely going to take part in the event. I doubt you non-extractors are in the majority, especially since a good amount of players already do it for fun(and to play the game they paid for) this event will encourage even more people to go for full extractions.

Mesa like this op.

Can't wait to implement destruction. 

If anyone is complaining about the extended wave 11 extraction - then do a bunch of bronze runs :ph34r:

. Not at all.  Just consider it an acknowledgement that you're a POS who isn't really worth the trouble except to potentially avoid.

Lol wiping on wave 10 has serious success in PuG's.  Have you seen some of the playerbase?   As of last night you still get former rocket glitchers thinking they are plat material.  So you end up carrying them, and then when you wipe what are they going to do about it?

Honest answer: a lot of players expect to be carried.  A lot of good players couldn't solo wave 11 (especially when I wipe at the LZ area and mooks just mosh there), so why would you think wiping would not be successful?


Post Script:  It may not be apt, but there is no arguing extracting is a waste of time credit and consumable wise.  If someone wants to extract be my guess.  I'm not going to rage or be upset.  I'm going to open a pepsi =)



Hahahaha does it!? I'd think there would be one holdout. But like you said, maybe they unintentionally die when everyone else is dead and unable to carry. I was thinking private matches would be more effecient because everyone is in the same boat and agrees to wipe.

Oh I'm not saying successful on extraction, I mean successful on actually shaving off time. Someone might try to solo wave 10 after the objective and kite the enemies around for a awhile. Which completely negates the minutes saved when you wipe. I don't personally wipe because it's not my preference, but I was always curious about it. What if some random kites enemies around for 10 minutes...? Doesn't that completely ruin a lot of effeciency?

Actually there is. You don't lose your consumables when you do the extraction wave unless you use them. You can always just not use them. And if you are doing a lot of 10 wipe farming, won't you have a ton more credits and not have to worry about how many consumables you have anyway?

Remember that guy named talon who talked trash?  You sound a lot like him with the personal attacks.  Log off and go cool off.

Q1. Does this have to be full Extraction?
NO.
Q2. Does this have to be on  an earth map?
NO.

Q1. For this I'm assuming your post in the MP section meant at least 1 earth char must be in the squad for all people extracted to count?
YES. One Earth character must be in the squad. More is fine, but at least one.

Q2. Again any map or Earth maps only?
ANY map


:devil:


Ok Chris, to count, does it have to be reapers only? I think that is the only thing not clarified yet. Thanks.

I like to extract whenever I can, but I don't use consumables when I do.

I also sometimes wipe on Wave 11 when playing with friends because they'd rather get the credits not the XP.

Just my $.02 cents.

Sadly no.  I'm nowhere near the player Spectre is.  And I haven't played as many matches.  I can honestly solo the remainder of a platinum wave without too much trouble, but I would likely fail a wave 11 solo.  If somebody kites for 10 minutes then I am talking with my wife, maybe loading the dishwasher, or something similar.  

Thankfully though, it's like I said.  Most players aren't that caliber on PuG matches so they usually die at the first Banshee.  So overall?  I come out ahead.  Figure 20-25 minutes to get through wave 10.  Why waste another 3 minutes for a wave that pays nothing?

But if somene kites for 10 minutes, you've lost the effiency advantage of 3 matches. And that's only if you get ONE person who does it. Must be kind of annoying IF that even happens. Sound like it doesn't happen much though...

I can see how that has worked so well then. Doubtful that I'll try it, but it's good info when considering the average caliber of players in PUGs games.

Thanks for the constructive discussion and not a 'NOU R WRONG' debate.

Take the blue pill! Also, the cake is a lie.

That is all.
