Mr. Priestly, please clarify: Does the opposing faction need to be Reapers, specifically?

Its already more specific then the last but more vague at the same time. Just hope I get better at the N7 vanguard.

well hopefully we don't fail this one too. i hope the penelty doesn't add alot of time that might get people killed more than anything else.

[Chris Sell]

In order to clarify the event for anyone that missed it.

Any map.
Any difficulty.
Any enemy.

To complete both the squad and allied goal you must have at least one Earth character in your squad and at least one person has to get extracted. The Earth character does not have to be the one to get extracted. Every person who gets extracted with an Earth charcter in their squad will count toward the 800,000 allied goal.

The Victory pack will include an Earth character. If you already have all the Earth characters maxed out you will get a random rare card.

The event runs from July 27th 10AM PDT to July 30th 5AM PDT.

Thank you Bioware for having these weekend events and for putting up with all of us. It's great to have a video game company that listens to their fans.

[OoTOMBSoO]

I would have said: "ANY one team member must be extracted but that team must have at least ONE EARTH DLC character on that team for the Squad goal to be met. Every person extracted counts towards the allied goal. Do your best to survive and extract always and gosh darn it use the freaking cover system!."

[Ottemis]

@Chris Priestly : *sneaks in a sympathetic hug* Completely clear, sounds like a cool event =)

The battle will begin Again!
Our Run-times will Set Priority to this Goal.

[Meiluy]

It was asked in an earlier post, but I did not see an answer regarding it:

In regards to the Allied Goal of 800,000 Players extracted, is that Extractions, Characters, or Players? If I play and extract my Adept 3 times, my Engineer 3 times and my Soldier 3 times, is that nine, three or one extraction credit?

[Chris Sell]

@Meiluy
As long as there is an Earth character in your squad everytime then that would count as 9 extraction credits

[Icematt12]

Chris Priestly wrote...

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

With a comment like this, kind of expected an event where players need to extract from the 3 Earth maps. Still, my Demolisher and Slayer could get a few extractions on White Geth Silver

Except they never said the Allied Goal (Not the Squad Goal) required an Earth DLC character.  It's the word "Players" that is bringing up the question.

jesus christ, people really have trouble understanding these things.... read much?

[SaintsFan101]

Chris, I applaud you and the team for the countdown timer (great idea) and also for clarifying everything through this thread. I have enjoyed Operation weekends. They motivate me to jump on for at least a few games every other weekend to complete the squad goal and put a dent in the allied goals.

Perhaps in the future operations, the Bioware team could be (almost) painfully specific in its operation instructions so individuals do not need to constantly ask "how many extracted," "what map," "WHO is extracted," etc.

I've enjoyed the two goals per operation and the special weapons for operation completions. I find myself more satisfied than not with the MP in Mass Effect 3. I was definitely a skeptic before the game came out. I figured this thread was as good as any to thank you and the Bioware team for their hard work.
Now if the random cards would just magically give me some Harrier upgrades...

[Outamyhead]

I had better get to training and leveling up my Fury I got then (somehow got lucky and received it with my free pack from the last mission).

"Allied Goal: Extract 800,000 individual players on any difficulty, with each live member counting toward the goal."

I'm asking if it it means players or characters.  If it's players, that's an insanely tough goal to meet.  If it's characters, it's doable, and I will be doing my share ( I plan on at least 20 extractions a day for Sat and Sun, maybe more).

So how exactly am I failing to read something?  All I'm asking for is clarification on a choice of words used.

Does
this mean each member extracted must be one of the earth dlc characters
for it to count? Don't want the nonsense of broadside to happen again
so please clarify immediately.

The squad has to have at
least one earth character. If there is at least one Earth then ALL
living squad members, Earth or not, count.

@Meiluy
Actually they did.

[BiZZar0 J0E]

 It always makes me laugh seeing the Special Circumstances that Bioware comes up with to apply to a Bounty Weekend after the previous Bounty Weekend Operation community (allied) goal was failed. I love it & believe its totally fair. If you do good as a collective you get rewarded & if you fail as a collective you get punished just like the military or any group or team based organization, lol.

 My only complaint about the Bounty Weekends or specifically the posting for them is that there is no real update (stats) to them. If there is an update its usually only applied to the title of the Original Post & not edited in the actual OP. At the very least the stat that I would like to see edited in the OP would be the actual number that decides if the community (allied) goal was successfully completed or failed. That to me should be the most important stat out of all the stats. Watching a sporting event without seeing the actual score is basically what I'm forced to do in these Bounty Weekends, (if I'm going to the wrong location someone please let me know). I mean I understand having to wait to receive an awarded pack but not knowing if a goal was met until I actually received my pack is released is kind of bad... unless each individual employee is collectively adding up each individual score. I suppose its only 3 days of me "pretending" I don't care, lol.

 Also as previously mentioned, I believe that a more detailed goal requirement list needs to implemented to the Bounty Weekend directions to remove any uncertainty or assumption. Never have I come across a word connected to more problems than the word "assume", I hate that word. If you leave room for error you usually get it. [Edit] {I like poptdp's layout http://social.biowar...2564/3#13327579 with Enemy, Map, & Difficulty and perhaps throw Extraction in their (Full,Partial,Lone Survivor,Any, None) in addition to the standard OP list. LOVE THE BOUNTY WEEKEND OPERATION COUNTER!}

 On a side note I feel that the PS3 community is a liablity in regards to completing the community goals. I say this because unlike the 360 & (I assume) the PC, the PS3 doesn't receive a FULLSCREEN notice that a Bounty Weekend Operation is in effect (has started) when entering the Multiplayer screen. Yet I'm quite positive that the Bounty Weekend challenges have the difficulty increased to incorporate the PS3 community's participation. This doesn't seem fair. I play ME3 on the 360 & my brother plays on the PS3. The first 2 months I got my brother to get ME3 he didn't know about Bounty Weekends & I always had to remind him about them. Granted him looking up the info on the website would have solved that problem (which he does now), but I don't think he should have to do that in the first place. Regardless of the game most gamers DON'T go to official sites of games either because they are too lazy or just don't have the ablitiy to do so although I guess in PS3 case they do have an internet browser that I suppose displays this website well but I don't encourage the use of that browser. Anyways I know Bioware is aware of this problem, I'm just curious to know if a soulution is still actively being worked on or if PS3 gamers are just stuck with that problem. I'm firmly believe the PS3 gamers would be more helpful in the community goals if they had the same awareness of Bounty Weekends as the rest of the community. Well looks like my side note wasn't so much of a side not. O_O Sorry.

Odd, the answer he gives seems to follow with the squad goal, not the allied goal.  If that's the case, I'm gonna be bummed, as the only Earth DLC my group has unlocked is my Slayer, and I hate playing a Vanguard.

Now, I'm not saying you're lying, but I will point out he answered a question regarding the Squad Goal with an answer that was about the Allied goal, and this post seems to be the opposite issue.  I also can not find the post he is quoting (kind of wish there was a link to the post being quoted for reference), so it is still an unknown in my mind.

[havoc373]

can we get a progress bar for how far we are to achieving the goal?

give us something to work towards.

Bioware was quite clear on this one. There shouldn't be any questions on this one. Which means they listened to all the griping about Broadside, which earns a polite "thank you" from me.

Now, let's do this!
