I don't even care. I failed to play with my friend because of servers' shenanigans. This hour and a half of unsuccessful attempts discouraged me to play for the rest of the weekend.

So you do care? Or did you mean you couldn't care less?

Actually, you are the one getting it wrong. "Couldn't care less" is a double negative and means they do in fact care. Could care less is the correct, non bastardized term.

To stay on topic, it seems like they didn't want us to succeed. Or would have been a fun reward if we somehow did.

i gave up on friday night after getting kicked out mid-game FIVE TIMES !

Not surprised at all that we didn't hit the target, hardly any drone escort missions came up. 

Ah well, at least now i can venture into Gold again, no way was I going in there without consumables!

Except when every grammar site out there says "couldn't" is the correct form, and is the original phrase.

Who cares about Victory packs anyway? They're useless anyway. I just want the commendation pack.

They are both accepted.

"The Oxford dictionary already recognizes “could care less” as an
American colloquialism. Many people, however, regard it as incorrect
since it makes no logical sense (if you “could care less” it means that
you care at least a bit)." Source.

End of debate!

This operation feels like it was designed to be a loyalty test if anything. The amount of escort missions that spawned were obviously decreased, and also people were stating the the servers were acting up as well. It seems like the point of the Op was to see how many people were still dedicated enough achieve the goal despite these setbacks. I'm surprised we even made it that far to be honest.

You evidently do not know what a double negative is.

Double negative: I could not, not care less.

What we have: I could not care less.


Do you honestly think 'less' is a negative in the same way 'never' and 'no-one' are?

Saying that you could care less is simply stating that. Saying you could not care less is saying to me that you care so much about it that you can't possibly care less about it. Its how the grammar comes off to me.

got a bunch of escort missions before operation, a lot fewer (talking 1 outta every 4 games if lucky) during operation....played some last night and got an escort mission in every game lol...it's obvious we were setup....they couldve set it up for us to fail without setting us up like they did....all they had to do was give us a ridiculious number to achieve, like a million or something...

anyway, it's over, i'll take out my frustration for us failing on some cerb/geth/reapers

[JohnDoe]

honestly, I am no surprised by this.
I played quite a bit of games.. (around 10 per day at night) and we keep getting other events and almost no scort missions..
id say the rate was almost like.. 10 "pick up items" per every scort mission.. and 5 "kill enemies" mission per scort.. :/

Doing the psn update right now. Do we get the commendation packs?

[Alien Number Six]

I wonder who could be behind these attacks. Could it be the Collectors? Indoctrinated pirate gangs? Perhaps both?

[Biotic_Warlock]

I knew it...

Our frequent fails... it's rigged.

Edit: why else would BW choose an objective which glitches the most?
The demi-lich casting imprisonment on the drone.

All 3 merc teams as one group to fight against would be great.

No, not necessarily the end.  Oxfoford (the University) also teaches relavitisim as viable, thus their claim to definiativism it moot.

Seriously though, it comes down to if you consider "less" as a noun or an adverb.
If "less" being a noun, then your statement is true both in implication and intent.
If "less" is an adverb, then while it could be construed as you stated, the intent is not. It becomes an abstract thought that realy impies. "I don't care at all and even less than that".  So in a way, it's like when a kid ends an argument and says (whatever) "times infinity".


and oh, I'm at work so I've no idea what I've got in my pack yet. ... at least I'm pretty sure I made it as I didn't solo.

*edits for typo's...sheesh*

[Assuming Direct Control]

At least I got the N7 Valiant in my commendation pack.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Well this is what happens when the drones don't spawn. I played over the weekend and had only two escort missions. Come on. You guys wanted this operation to fail.

Me too. My Valiant is now lev. 4

[CYB3RFR34K]

how can this be possible??? we failed?!?!? ...meeh...

[Krazy_Kirby]

They should put some Volus as playable characters into MP. They would be biotic gods. Maybe they could do a belly flop as a kind of shockwave attack.
