I said this before, I say it again, failed Ops are followed up by DLC. They have the data, they can estimate beforehand what's possible and impossible to achieve. Make an op you can't win to have a convenient story reason for new DLC.

i played for 6-7 hours and only had 3-4 escort missions. for me a bronze level takes less than 13 mins. that comes out about 4 games an hour x 10 waves per game = 40 possible chances of escort missions per hour. i played 240-280 waves divided by 3-4 escort missions = 1.25%-1.4% chance of getting an escort mission.

how was this operation supposed to succeed from the get go?

I'm sorry my friend, but I think you need to check your math again. There's only 3 waves that have objectives per game, so it's 4 games an hour x 3 waves per game = 12 possible chances of escort missions per hour.

So you played 72-84 objective waves and only had 3-4 escort missions = 3.57% - 5.56% chance of getting an escort mission. I used best case (4 escorts in 72 waves = 5.56%) and worst case (3 escorts in 84 waves = 3.57%) estimates based on your numbers.

Still, 3.57% - 5.56% chance is far below the 20% chance that it should be, so your point is still valid.

Maybe Hackett should try escorting a drone through 17 boss waves on platinum before he deigns to come down from on high to lecture us on our "failure". Maybe Hackett could get to work on some R&D to make sure I don't get stuck in the walls when I have to Biotic Charge to save his precious drone.

My Hanar overlords would never speak in such a manner.

Ha, that would be funny to see. I can just imagine Hackett and the two Alliance soldiers that follow him onto the Normandy trying to escort a drone round Vancouver when a random Kroguard drops in and spends the rest of the mission headbutting them between waves.

Agree with everyone, we were never meant to pass this goal, which makes the extra time we may have put into it extra wasted. I did 8 gold games and didnt' get a single escort, but the 4 silver games had 9 escorts total. Of course this week while playing every gold game has gotten one or two escort missions. This will lead to new enemies/new dlc/maybe protheans...who knows but something will come from it. Sad to say borderlands 2 will make this a very moot point for me.

It's obvious, because I did in the whole weekend only 6 or 7 escorts (I played more than 20 missions) and this morning only in 3 games I did like 6 escorts. Next time, please put more escorts missions.

[-Tentei-]

I do about 30 rounds and only eight escort missions, maybe if they were more likely to happen we wouldn't have failed.

[Blike]

Calling BS on the number of completed escorts: If you rearrange the numbers, you get 123,456.

[pseudonymic]

considering i got 1 escort mission for every 6 to 8 whole games played - with these community odds, it isn't surprising.

[N7Kopper]

Everyone says this was scripted. I disagree.
Xbox LIVE's servers screwed up in the first op day - and as we know, the Xbox is by far the most popular ME platform.

Combine this with a fickle Random Number God that any Fire Emblem player would instantly recognise, and BAM. Failure.

While we may have failed this operation even though I feel we should have beaten it. I think we should keep up the effort and maybe use these failed operations to make up our own to keep the game fun for those still playing. Since the operations are only every other weekend this would give us time to do our own operation and who knows maybe bioware might use some of them when they plan the next weekend operation. Either way we would still be having fun playing this game and enjoying the players or team mates we play with.

Operation: Vigilance failed? Shocker.

Admiral Hackett...

We will deploy drones to repair damage and investigate the nature of these attacks.

So, where were these drones?

You'd think there would have been an increase of occurrences of Escort objective waves. Specially given the context of the Operation. Maybe at least 1 Escort objective wave guaranteed per match, perhaps? No?

Something wasn't thought-out very well.

Well, b****cks.

Better luck nex time?

[Bamboozald]

So... Anyone know when we get our individual packs?

Where the hell were those drones? I had liked if we had had at least one drone in every mission, not a drone every 5 missions this weekend. It's not my fault if you don't know how to do your work or deceive us, not to mention ''the servers down'' or ''not available at this moment'' everyday.

[Mendelevosa]

Since we failed this operation, it must mean new DLC is coming within the next week or two.

I'd like to know this as well. I'm tempted to make a thread simply asking if anybody has gotten theirs yet, but I'd most likely be flamed, so what's the point lol

[SmawgSS]

The next objective will be 'elite weapon stockpile' where we need to obtain 250k rare weapons.... doesn't make much sense to base an objective off of a random event (i.e. which objective will be played). It happens (fail), but kind of disapointing.

[Ziegrif]

Welp we sucked on toast again this week.
But it was kinda close really.

PS3, no splash page...

So, the majority of sony friends had no idea about the operation.

It's as expected. I did my share, but in the end its the community effort that counts.

Who cares anymore. Going to revisit Borderlands 1.

So tired of getting "Rare" consumables anyway.
