The last thing we need is an objective that DISCOURAGES consumable use. People need to be nudged to use them more often, not less.

A better objective would have been finish wave 10 with no OHKs or bleed outs. This would encourage people to use missiles to protect each other, revive each other, and use medigels intelligently. I.e. encouraging team play and smart consumable use, not discouraging it.

^^^ Ding ding ding. We have a winner here.

I'll disagree with this.  I understand you line of thought and you're not wrong per se.  I see it as a way to nudge players to play smarter and more conservatively; not "John Wayne" it into the middle of a herd of husks or 3 brutes and a Banshee..  (that sounds like a bad 90's Sitcom)
Anyways.  I do see your point, but I'd like to see more folks stay closer together and using cover more effectively.  I know I could use the practice. :innocent:

Cya guys on the battle field.  Maybe try getting some players to practice doing this before readying up.

Ps3 Guys, Start spreading the word in chat NOW!  That seems to be your best venue at this point.

Sounds like the op that seperates the boys from the men! or a less sexist way of putting it, the kids from the adults!

Lots of solo private runs I expect, as there is no way to fully trust pug membres not to use any consumables

[Grand_Commander13]

The squad goal is a really, really stupid idea. All it requires is the use of one item, which people usually have in excess anyway, that nobody can see you use to spoil the fun for everyone.

Seriously, is this Bioware's way of saying "you should play with friends" or are they just not aware of what people on the Internet are like?

I'll also add my vote to anyone else saying that people (me included) need to use their consumables more and not less.

Lol no need to rip any keys off the board. In game  options  keybindings . Swap 6 for 5 for the squad goal so you don't f##k up on wave 9

Operation troll bait, sounds fun to me..

I predict alot of krogans and destroyers this weekend! Sounds like a challenge and alot of fun!

[Vigilante1024]

This "squad" goal basically means that anyone who wants to receive a commendation pack has to do a solo run. There's no way to be sure that someone else on your team did not use an ops or ammo pack.

Literally one single second of thought should have immediately killed this squad goal idea.

 consumables don't include the one time use equipement does it?

No, only the consumables activated during a match - gels, missiles, ammo packs, and ops packs - matter.  You can use all the ammo, armor, weapon, and gear mods you like.

[Epique Phael767]

So is it the entire squad can't use them, or just individuals?

Maybe the squad goal could be refined into "Squad Goal: Complete up to and including wave 10 on any difficulty without anyone using a consumable (medi-gel, ammo, Ops pack or Cobra missile launcher)"

Helps clarify things, I think.

Unexpected attacks have taken out several squads and damaged vital Alliance equipment. We will deploy drones to repair damage and investigate the nature of these attacks.
Squad Goal: Complete up to and including wave 10 on any difficulty without using a consumable (medi-gel, ammo, Ops pack or Cobra missile launcher)
Allied Goal: Complete 250,000 escort missions on any difficulty.
Special Circumstance: None

Individual Goal Success: All individual players awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

Can the Victory pack please include a 2nd N7 weapon?

No player on the squad can use any consumable that can be activated in game until wave 11

[jakenou]

Interesting. First Op I've seen where the squad goal might actually be more difficult than the allied goal. Hope people start using mics more this weekend so we can get it sorted out in the lobbies first

Edit:
"Allied Goal: Complete 250,000 escort missions on any difficulty."

Ok, now I'm not so sure if this means we have to complete the entire mission to extraction, or we simply have to complete the escort objectives.

So I'm guessing that after wave 10 is cleared, you can start using consumables on wave 11 or wipe out with no penalty to squad credit? It may be safer to just not use consumables on wave 11.

This squad goal reminds me of those trust exercises, when you fall backwards and trust that the person behind you will catch you. Except now it's three other people, and all four of you are falling down all the time!

Social experiment... Exciting, results difficult to predict. Many variables, too many variables. Subjects that fail to cooperate, negatively affect cohesiveness of squad. Implications... Problematic. *Inhale* Looking forward to test results.

As always - and it really has become tiresome how lazily these events are written - it's poor wording but the only way it could even be logged is by counting the number of times the objective was completed and paid out.  So, if your team wipes on wave 3 after completing the drone escort, it'll count towards the Allied Goal.

That's what I assumed. I just wish Mr. Priestly would look through the first 10 or so pages of the thread, where most of the FAQs pop up, and provide clarifications in the OP.
