The Splash Screen says:

"Squad Goal: Extract squad on any difficulty. Squad must have 2+ players of the same non-human race."

The forum post by Chris Priestly says:

"Squad Goal: Full extraction on any difficulty with all squad members as the same non-human race. Requires 2 or more players in squad."

So which is it? All members with same race and full extraction or 2 members with the same race and any extraction?

BioWare, could you please clarify the Splash Screen like you did for the last Operation, please. And if it's possible re-run it for those that may have already seen it?

This has already created some confusion on Xbox. I'm going to assume that we all need to be the same, based on a post NPlewes made earlier about drop ins.

Do the harder one so 4 of the same and full extraction.

It also covers the Splash screen and blog post that are different from the forum post.

Currently there are 3 sets of instrctions.

1 says full extraction 1 says extraction and 1 says extract squad with 2+ of the same race.

Do the most and it should be ok.

The linked blog doesn't say full extraction either so 3 slightly diff sets of instructions again. Not so bad for those of us who visit BSN ( apart from the occasional abuse when u try to tell PUG lobbies & general exasperation) but really unfair to those who don't visit forum

I'm pretty sure it means everyone in the sqaud
But the minuim amount of people in a sqaud must be 2, so you cant just solo for the commendation pack

I love me some Bioware and ME3 MP, but for f's sake, they STILL are having problems being as clear as possible. Ugh.

Normally its best to assume EVERYONE has to be the same... geth, quarian m or f, turian, krogan, vorcha, salarian...

Apparently N7 characters arent human and count towards the personal goal. Err, ok?

Wrong. Where in the heck did you hear THAT??
N7 HUMANS are HUMAN. Ex-Cerby HUMANS are HUMAN.
and they don't count for the squad goal.

inorite?

How hard is it to keep one set of instructions instead of three different ones? It's not a difficult concept.

Why couldn't they just copy and paste what Chris Priestly wrote onto the splash screen?

Aside from the confusion it creates for us who tend to take this stuff serious going in with an understanding, I often join randoms to help them out, I stopped that two objectives ago because the information was very confusing and I was tired of arguing in the lobby, it was a reeper weekend however the objective was any enemy....amd tell people to come to BSN who do not and they will tell you where to go.

It's all. 2 is the minimum party size to complete the op, so you can't solo.

The PUGs seem to not be able to figure this out. See nothing but non-humans, but no one's trying to make it so everyone in the lobby is the same race.

To understand what Chris writes is part of the mission... decode, set a team and kill'em all.

I've been lucky and have joined 2 PUG lobbies where the they were all the same race.

First had 3 Turians and I joined as a Turian Soldier so we all just readied up and played. The second had 2 Salarians and I switched to Salarian Engineer and the fourth guy that joined switched to a Salarian too without us asking.

Just hosted a match of krogans. One guy said he was gonna invite his newby friend. (sure, why not, its bronze anyway.)

N7 1...no non-humans available...

I tried to kick. all three others in the group tried to argue with me saying that only 2 had to be non-human... <_<

I left.

Yes their screens can be confusing but this is pretty much how it is and probably should have been written.

1) You must be playing with at least 1 other person by extraction for it to count
2) You must play as an alien species
3) All players must be of the same species, class does not matter
4) If a player joins an ongoing game as a species that does not match your groups and are there by extraction then it will not count. Should they leave before extraction then you will receive credit.
5) You must FULL extract. Partial Extraction and Lone Survivor do not count.

Combos that work. To Clarify, if one person is playing one of these characters the others must be playing that same character or one of the others within the same number grouping here.

1) Turian soldier & Turian Sentinel
2) Asari Adept, Asari Justicar & Asari Vanguard
3) Female Quarian Engineer, Female Quarian Infiltrator, Male Quairan Engineer, Male Quarian Infiltrator
4) Geth Infiltrator & Geth Engineer
5) Batarian Soldier & Batarian Sentinel
6) Krogan Soldier, Krogan Sentinel & Krogan Battlemaster
7) Vorcha Soldier & Vorcha Sentinel
8) Salarian Engineer & Salarian Infiltrator
9) Drell Adept & Drell Vanguard

I just played half a dozen random matches on PC, and only one lobby was going by the poorly-worded splash screen, taking it to mean 2 players of one non-human race in a squad larger than two would do it.

Unfortunately, that is a quite valid interpretation of the splash screen. I only know differently from lurking here.

It's almost like these things are an after-thought to Bioware.

I really enjoy the style of games that the studio puts out, but I am not impressed with the follow up or bug squashing.

This is the confusion that terribly written splash screen caused. It doesn't mention all players have to be the same race and it doesn't mention that a Full Extraction is necessary either.

To anybody who needs someone to do the op with I'll be on after 6:30 EST tonight. Xbox GT is Bobby D Beast. I will play as any race neccessary. I have a feeling that PUGS are going to be a god damn disaster due to garbled instructions.

Same here, but I actually stayed with the same group and we played once as Turians (partial extraction, 2 sents and 2 solds) and the other round as Quarians (full exctration, each quarian once)

I didn't even read the splash screen since I visit BSN but I was seeing a lot of lobbies that had 2 or 3 of the same and all ready to go even though the entire squad didn't match. I had to duo with a friend in a private match. And I did full extraction to be safe even though I don't think the blog mentioned it.

And the number of the team shalt be at least two.  Not one, but two.  And all members of thine party shalt be of the same species.  If thou hast a party of two, not one, and thou ist playing a Krogan, then the second party member must also be Krogan.

If thou hast a party of three, being the number that follows two, then all three of thine members must be of the same species.  If thou choosest Quarian, then thou may be be male or female.  All of thine members must be of the same species.

If thou hast four members then all of thine members must also be of the same species.  Four being not the number following two but after three, then all of thine members must be the same species.  If thou choosest Drell, then all thine members must also be Drell.  If Asari then all members must also be Asari.  If Batarian then all members must be Batarian.  Kits / class art irrelevant.  Drell Vanguard, Drell Adept art of the same species.

Five is right out.

Thou canst not win without all members making it to wave eleven and boarding thine shuttle.


I can go on and try to make it bullet-proof but that is impossible.

Cheers

Edited from orginal which stated, "canst", as opposed to, "canst not."

And so it was written... Extraction of Full, not of Lone nor of Partial.
