Noticed that extractions are already taking longer.

How long is it?


I haven't really paid attention of the exact time.  Too busy killin.  I think it's like 2.5 minutes. It's just enough longer that you notice but not super long. The enemy count/stack hasn't changed thus far either.

I'll check tonight.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

I want to delete my account.

Deleting account from Account settings says 'cannot delete account at this time'. I've tried this over several days.

Please tell me what time I can delete or just delete my account.

Nice touch with timer.
I really hope we win this one, I've been trying to get the N7 Shadow for ever now.
Chris can you explain this to me? The first day that the DLC came out I had enough money to buy 2 PSP's and they both had N7 Fury's (Furies?) in them. 1 Million dollars later. Still no DLC character, I had 40K credits left so I bought 2 veteran packs, guess what I found in one them? A N7 PALADIN. How does that work?

P.S. How do you put one of those thingies at the bottom thats like ads?

Not necessarily so.  My entire group of friends who play didn't participate because of San Diego Comic Con... seeing how Bioware was there, at one of the Largest Comic Conventions in the World, I'm surprised they didn't try accounting for that.

The only DLC characters that I have on my Xbox 360 (I do have a PS3 but rarely play the MP on it for some weird reason) are the batarian sentinal and a male quarian.
 
I don't have any of the krogan, vorcha, geth, or any of the Earth characters. I know you have a much a better chance if you get the Premium Spectre Packs but I don't have the MS points and never get enough credits before I need I run out of medi-gel and/or Special Ops packs. 

I wonder if BioWare would be willing to increse the chance of getting those characters in Veteren Packs or even the Jumbo Packs since those are the most I ever seem to be able to buy. 

Just a thought.

"Single". As in "at least one".

I'm glad to clarify, but I thought "single" was already pretty clear.



:devil:


Thanks Chris for all the clarification.
May I suggest to add in the future a FAQ section frequently updated (instead of multiple replies), right after the initial announcement.
Maybe having 2 sections: FAQ Allied goal and FAQ Squad goal.
People will always need clarifications, and it is better to find it right on the first page, otherwise they will keep asking the same questions over and over.

Also, if possible, a counter (updated every 30-60 minutes) to show percentage of allied goal achieved would be nice.

For my fellow forum users, I suggest, if in doubt, always go for maximal.
For example, I intend to use my N7 character(s) mostly, play with N7 teams mostly, always go for full extraction, and  do it several times, to make sure. Use a few bronze/silver games if necessary.

I'll do my part for allied goal, but you never know if that is enough.

the only way you can guarantee it is if everybody played bronze but it is fairly easy that way, last time there where loads trying to play gold who wern't ready so fewer extractions anbody can get extracted on bronze

Wow, having the black hole glitch is terrible. I haven't been able to play in months, but it's good to know that EA just keeps doing new stuff with no update on the fix...

I have no earth characters at all, nor the weapons. I have bought spectre and premium spectre packs and keep getting garbage! I almost stopped playing after the last expansion because i had so much trouble getting new items. I think i am definitely ready to put it away for good now. If i recall after the first expansion they had packs just for the new items. Why can't they do it again, even for just a day? i though tthey were making it easier to get new items, but it hasnt worked for me.

You really need to play an hour or so a day (depending on the difficulty level) to get a premium pack. ..or rather grind one. $20 US dollars gets you 5 or 6 Premiums and one Veteran pack.

for the new folks, spend your creds on recuit and vet packs to muster out your common, uncommon, and some rare slots. That way, most of the most of what you get after will be rare and higher. This will take getting to about level 400+ or so if you promote your characters. If you want to grind, then keep them at level 20 and hammer through silver and gold as the payoff is higher.

Personally, I have a hard time playing a Gold match with folks under level 300. There's that much of a learning curve. (not always though) ;)

So will random Reapers be sowing up because the last operation failed?

I am actually over level 600 and have been playing since the midnight launch of the game. I am not alone in this either, another frined of mine is almost level 1200 and he cant get earth characters either. Yet i play with peopl under level 200 hundred with them. It's incredibly frustrating.

just a question, will the victory pack give you a earth character that hasent been unlocked, or will it give you a earth character even if you have the character?


yes. 

xD it'll give you a random earth character, even if you already have that one. Which means I have a 50% chance of getting one of the ones that I actually want. -_-

This will be my third Bounty Weekend, Operation Savage: didn't have the right kind of character, but did my part. Operation Broadside: less said the better, but did my part except for Gold Level. Operation Overwatch: TOTALLY DO-ABLE!!!! this one we can have in the bag before Sunday Evening,
Good Luck Everyone:D
It's OK to go off on your own, but somone might have to cross a map to get to you so keep hitting that damn X button

Operation OVERWATCH drops troops on Earth to tackle the most secure Reaper strongholds. Reaper anti-air defense will make for high-risk shuttle extractions.


Look, I got the impression that any enemy would count for this.  But I just want to be extra sure: Where did Mr. Priestly state that any enemy would suffice?  Did I just miss it?

On the one hand, it seems like any enemy faction would fulfill the requirements, since no specific faction was stated.  On the other, the flavor text seems to imply that we need to specifically fight Reaper forces.

On another other hand (someone lend me a hand), the fact that the op is called "Overwatch" (see previous comments regarding the military definition(s) of this term) may in itself imply that we're just "taking care of business" elsewhere while other hypothetical forces are fighting the Reapers.  You know, story-wise.

Last night I actually dreamt that the extraction time had been extended to THREE HOURS.  No lie.  So I'm already frazzled as it is over this, haha.

Would someone please point me to where it's stated that any enemy would do?

I'd love to HAVE one of the Earth DLC characters...I don't have any, and I only have one of the last DLC pack characters before that. Whenever I buy Spectre/premium spectre packs, I get upgrades to shotguns/sniper rifles, etc. that I NEVER EVER USE!!! Ever! I have tons and tons of sniper rifle/shotgun amps - many - for weapons that I never use! Why can't I get any characters? I do like to play MP but it gets old if you have the same types of characters to play over and over again. Please make them more available in the packs.
