Hope we passed it. I don't have any of the Earth DLC characters yet so looking forward to unlocking one if we did!

For those who are asking when the packs will be distributed,I assume that ths is the first time you are taking part in such an event.

There is a very high chance that you might not receive the commendation pack in the normal manner if you live outside of the US or major parts of Europe.If you have not received the commendation pack(assuming you DID complete the squad goal) after a whole day(yes 24h,no less) from when you see someone posting about having received theirs,you will have to contact support to get them to give you.There are many of us who have an unbroken streak when it comes to having to contact support for our commendation packs.

I got tossed into a number of higher level games when going for bronze this weekend. The silver was no problem, tossed into a platinum that was a full out player slaughter (nice to use consumable for nothing.) And one gold where my fury, only equipped with gear played about as good as I can play, get to extraction wave, 30 seconds to go....and the host leaves...5 seconds later I get the old you have been disconnected message.....RawrRRRRR!

We probably won't get those until tomorrow at the earliest.

 I must have extracted over 20-30 times during this event in Gold, Silver, and Bronze. I made sure to only use my N7 characters to help people get their squad bonus. I ended up unlocking the N7 Slayer during the event which is cool. So now I am only missing the N7 Fury. Hopefully we successfully completed the operation to complete my collection :D

The operation broadside was 400,000 extractions and this is 800,000

I think bioware simply don't want to give us more free packs.

Broadside was 400,000 full extractions,
Overwatch is 800,000 people extracted, way easier.

I might be wrong(as i wasn't playing during Operation Broadside) but I think Broadside required 400 000 squads extracted.Operation Overwatch requires 800 000 individual players to be extracted.

Since the operation is completed, why is the extraction time still lengthened? PC player here?

Had a crazy amount of glitches this weekend. With the ps3 update I had to reload my online pass, experienced the vanguard glitch on my salarian engineer, and disconnected from two wave 10 gold games.

Sidenote: Never experienced a disconnect after I had used my equip until this weekend, just found out I lose my equip but don't gain any exp/monies...wtf. They are tracking our equip use but not exp/cred earnings :(

Sidenote2: Firebase London seemed extra hard this weekend.

I actually like the lengthened extraction time, it was more fun... but now its time for business

Time for the bean count to commence

1 person extracted
2 people extracted
3 people extracted...

they need to employ enough people for their fingers and toes, since they can't create a program to extrapolate the number of extracted people.

Extraction time is still extended. Thought that was just for the duration of the Op. Hmmm

Great, even more people will wipe after the last objective wave, unless they have some extaction wave incentive  coming down the line this week.

This weekend was definitely strange. I found a lot of lower N7 points players with weak equipment in Silver - I don't know if by chance or choice. My friends and I always tried to carry them through. But we had a lot of bugs: disappearing enemies, powers that don't harm the enemy, disconnects or ME3 crashes, weapons not working.

I have absolutely no idea where these issues come from, but they seem to appear a lot more since the Earth DLC. 
For me, Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer has become nicknamed "Bug Effect". 30% of my rounds have some kind of bug (for me or my coops) in it - no matter about the quality of my internet connection, or that of the host.

So if the host leaves, it might not have been intentional. No one leaves on purpose 30s before extraction, except their granny died just that moment.

I've been having connection problems with games for about a week so have been sticking to bronze or trying to, a few times I searched a Bronze game and ended up in Silver and Gold.  Hated that because I don't like to leave team members high and dry if I get kicked especially nearing round 11

Quite often I was in a game where teammates were shooting at enemies that simply were not on my screen. But the enemies could still shoot me.

And yeah, whereas silver is normally a breeze (really... a total breeze, certainly with my demolisher), I actually died a couple of times on wave 8/9, being stuck with some extremely strange rangdom pug players... charging phantoms... not checking their six, ever... really strange. Still got about a dozen extractions, but with time being short (olympic games this weekend...) that was all I could do. Hope we succeeded.

Wasn't the length of time we had to complete Broadside significantly shorter than regular operations?

Yes, a lot strange bugs.

Best one happened twice in the same gold game - major damage to a Phantom with Shadow Strike, which then falls over frozen as I was using Cryo, except I wasn't. When I continued to fire, the health bars went up - from 3 to almost full - WTF?. The other 3 players had to kill it for me. Not a pub match but with players I often team up.

Saw a couple of weird things...during a pizza delivery, pizza was invisible, though could still pick it up by interacting with the marker. However, although overwatch gave the command to get to the dropoff point, nothing showed up on my back and I wasn't slowed down. If I rolled, he'd announce that the package had been dropped. Super weird.

In another game, was playing an AA vs Cerberus. Phantom shows up, and I accidentaly send a warp at her first. She puts up her shield, and I drop a stasis bubble on her as soon as I can...and she instantly dies. I get full credit, and kill feed shows I killed her with stasis. Tried to replicate later, but was unsuccessful.

Not still, never.
It's like an election, where they have to count the votes after the polls close.


Except that it makes no sense for us to not have this feature.

That's what I'm saying. It's not like they have crap servers and don't know what's going on, they have the data. Oh well, if it happens, awesome, if not then just more blind challenges i spose.


My experience with data mining, particularly on servers that have loads like these, is it will degrade performance noticeably. I'd imagine that for the majority of players who don't check the BSN that the trade-off wouldn't be worth it.
