OMG PEOPLE its so clear!!! but here let me make it even easier for you to follow:

Enemy: ANY

Map: ANY

Difficulty: ANY

Squad goal: at least ONE person on the team extracts, WHILE HAVING AN EARTH CHARACTER ON THE TEAM. it doesnt matter if its the earth character or a krogan that gets to extraction, as long as AT LEAST ONE DOES.

Allied goal: same as squad goal, except every extracted person counts towards the final goal. if you don't have an earth character on your team, it does not count any of them.

CLEAR?!?!?!?!?!?

This has been discussed over and over Its VERY CLEAR GUYS!

That would actually be a great format for Bioware to use in the future to prevent any unnecessary discussions.

Although I would add the following:
Extraction: FULL (or partial - if applicable)

Nonetheless, are you sure that you have to have at least one Earth Character in the team for adding towards the Allied Goal?
The description for the Allied Goal does not contain any hint towards that:
-------
Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with at least one squad member using an Earth Pack character
Allied Goal: Extract 800,000 individual players on any difficulty, with each live member counting toward the goal.
-------
Are you sure, that the Squad Goal requirements (which everyone only needs to fulfill once) are INCLUDED in the Allied Goal requirements?

And the question "do we have to play only against reapers" stems from the intro to the goals:
-------
Operation OVERWATCH drops troops on Earth to tackle the most secure
Reaper strongholds. Reaper anti-air defense will make for high-risk
shuttle extractions.
-------

So you have to forgive the community for asking for clarification. 
At the last (FAILED!) Operation there was no word mentioning the FULL extraction requirement in the Weekend Operation description (and Bioware messed up posting different beginning and ending times in different places!). So many people had only had partial extractions thinking they would count too, until an official answer to people asking for clarification came out, which was sometime on Saturday, when over half of the time had already passed.

Well, I found the official clarification for that question by myself here:
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/13312470&lf=8

Chris Priestly wrote...

Point of clarification:
Squad Goal MUST have at least one member from the Earth DLC pack to count towards the squad goal.
Allied Goal does not require a member form Earth. You can have Earth characters, but they are not required.


[smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/devil.png[/smilie]

So apparently your assumption was wrong and I am relieved about one requirement less making a success a little more probable.

But again this shows that you cannot be clear enough about the Weekend Goal descriptions. There are just too many parameters and assumptions that can be made from accompanying textes.

Question: I play on both PC and Xbox - If we win the challenge, and I participated towards the goal on both platforms, will I get 1 pack on PC and another pack on Xbox?

Based on past rewards, sometime Tueasday evening at the earliest, but your miles may vary

[Gary Lancaster]

I participated in the last campaign with success, but received no reward.  Neither did my squad mate.  Now I read that a response must be uploaded.  Where is it?  How is it done? I think it should have been part of the announcement for the special campain so dummies like me could have really participated with real results.

[Makkah876]

You have to enable upload feedback in the options menu.

[Gary Lancaster]

Subsequent to a previous note, I found the online option for Gameplay Feedback and it was on.  So, I do not understand why I did not receive the reward for last special campaign.  Looks like some BS is going on.

[Makkah876]

If you have it enabled, and you're sure that you qualified for it, you need to contact support. It's probably too late for the previous operation (though you can still try I guess), but if it happens again be sure to check with them.

[ikarthik]

anyone facing the random disconnections.... This is the "n"th game where I got disconnected randomly.

[NOD-INFORMER37]

 The only trouble I have with certain players (I wont generalize by saying "randoms") is that they kick you over your N7 Rank which doesnt mean a damn thing, at all. Mine is sitting at 120 because I simply DONT WANT TO PROMOTE MY CHARACTERS. 

That and they refuse to use any consumable equipment, specifically on Gold difficulty. Just because Platinum was added, thats no excuse to hold back on your Medigels/Missiles/whatever when you know it will help the team win the match. 

 

MegaSovereign wrote...

I noticed that too.

Some players get kicked for having a low N7 rating despite having fully upgraded rare weapons. 

 

Tell me about it, every character I have is lvl 20 and most of the weapons I use are fully upgraded or of high level, not to mention the gear/equipment.

Can I ask what platform you play on?  I've just played a Gold match with a N7120 and he beat the cr@p out of all of us.

I play on the Xbox.

Aesandil wrote...

Unfortunately, it happens and it will keep happening. The best you can do is shrug it off and move on, no point wasting time on people who judge you before even seeing what you are capable of. It's certainly ironic, as I have met so many N7s with barely above 200 rating who had shown themselves to be skilled Platinum players (as opposed to multitudes with the rating nearing thousand[-s] who were downright horrible). 
Which makes me think this is just another design flaw. If N7 rating could be increased by actual feats (upgrading your gear, or completing extractions) along with character promotions, it would be a little more reliable. 

The only time I feel a great urge to kick someone (regardless of their rating) is on Platinum, when they ready themselves with no ammo/armor/weapon bonuses chosen at all. This is never a good sign, and if there is more than one person of this kind in the lobby, I know that it is either my cue to leave, or to strip off my own equipment as not to waste it. 

As for consumables on Gold, I must admit that I rarely use anything there other than level 1 or 2 equipment these days. The best stuff is left for Platinum. But then again, I only stick to Gold at levels 15-19, generally. Holding back on missiles/gel is a weird thing, however. Some people clearly don't know that Jumbo packs exist and are fairly cheap. 

 

True, I try not to focus on them that much but they are truly annoying. In-game I usually just give them a bad player review and walk away. =P

If they made the N7 rating more reliable somehow then I'm sure the kickers would have more of a reason to kick ppl and the rest of us wouldnt have to put up with them as much. But right now about the only thing the N7 number displays is how much time you've invested into multiplayer, not skill. Even then it isnt that accurate because some people, like myself, have been playing since day 1 and only promoted a few times or not at all.  

Kicking someone on Platinum when they clearly arent ready for it is comepletely understandable, if only people focused more on that than the number. 

Its only the lack of Missile/Medigel use that really bug me, because in my experience they are what win the game. Having a rail amp or ammo power sure helps too but most times they arent needed.  

And if people are worried they'll run out they shouldnt be lol, all they have to do is buy a jumbo' every now and then (or really any pack) and they're good to go. The lowest I've ever come to is 4 medigels and about a dozon rockets(keep in mind this is because no one else would use them<_<) but a few packs later I tripled that.

[Cody_King_]

Can you buff the Particle Rifle? It is very very bad at the moment. It needs more damage and a bit bigger clip by default. Also was the store changed? I just got something good! 2 Premium Spectre pack each had a silver gear and an ultra rare! The best thing would be a cap of 50 (maximum) on equipment bonuses. It would give people a better chance for ultra rares and make people more willing to use bonuses.

It's not reaper only, so he didn't say it. If it was reaper only, he would tell us. They wouldn't make it reaper only and then not tell anyone.

Ok what the F-bomb is going on? Trying to do my part but when i enter the lobby nobody is N7 earth character? I change my character to N7 Fury and we role to full extract. I have done this once on silver and at least 8-9 times on bronze. Am i the only one being mindful of the mission this weekend or what. F-bomb x2 Urgh this Turian needs some sleep
Turian Rebel Out.

You don't need an earth character for the allied goal, only the squad goal. So I guess the answer to that is that everyone else is actually more mindful of the goal than  you are.

Note to Bioware, this squad goal is extremely frustrating for my coworkers and myself as we have been playing in all our spare time and have yet to unlock an Earth character. My coworkers have focused on Prem Spec packs, and I on Vet and Spec. Since Earth released I have gotten 44 packs, 5 are Spec, the rest Vet, and no Earth unlocks, neither weapon nor character. So after two weeks of this, I have no way to achieve the Squad goal. I achieved 7 Silver full extractions in a row last night, but I still can't participate in this event. My Fail is Biowares Fail.

Quit buying veteran packs, they don't get you gold cards often enough to be worth it. Unless you're playing on bronze, I suggest purchasing psps because they come with at least two rares each. 

If you're playing on bronze so it takes too long to earn money, then that's your fault, not bioware's. Try playing silver or gold, you'll make money faster and it'll be easier to purchase more packs.

All of that aside, you don't actually have to have an N7 character, you just have to be in a squad with one.
