I find these numbers to be suspicious. Last mission we needed 250K escort missions. I played probably 12-15 hours and got maybe 5-6 escort missions. The most you could conceivably get per game is 3 and often we got zero. Yet we came close with 230K.

This weekend 600K Atlas mechs goal seems like it will be nothing. On a gold game you probably get 20 of them guaranteed, unlike escorts. I'd bet my teams killed 200 of them ourselves. So, comparing weekends for my teams: 40 times the number of successes, yet as a community only 2.6 times the number of successes. I'd expect that 600K number to be obliterated. Something in these numbers smells fishy.

You're basing this on the assumption that we had the same level of participation for this mission as last. I think we've lost a significant portion of the base, at least temporarily with Borderlands2, and that the forumites here played a SIGNIFICANT role in our success. I was surprised it was this close, but I saw on another thread where the debate was between whether we hit 1.5MM or 2.0MM mech destructions, which was pretty outrageous...

Also reymonkey, you are basing you assumptions on perceptual bias. I played roughly the same amount during the last operation and had way over 20 escorts.

In the end it doesn't really matter if the numbers are exact or not. See Bioware/Chris Priestly as a Gamemaster who keeps the story going.

What matters is that we did it, so go clap yourself on the back and ease up - you deserved it.

Good job guys

1. A lot of people are set on doing nothing but FBWGG
2. A lot of people don't care about the allied goal. For most of us, it's nothing but a jumbo pack.

I do it to help out the community. I know not everyone has 90% of their manifest done like me but I know people who couldn't care less because they don't benefit.

This Operation was what I really wanted to see! Had myself an all Turian, all Krogan, all Asari Justicar team this time through...but nothing, and I mean nothing stood up to my personal favorite team: All. Vorcha. Soldiers.

Here's hoping the Asari weren't too attached to Firebase Goddess' more...ahem...flammable furniture...and computers....and plants...and sculptures...and...nothing of value was saved. The Vorcha had this to say on the incident:

"It was all Cerberus' fault! It was burned them we got there! Why you question us! We save most of building from big machine and stupid white-armors! Everyone scared of fire! Fire kill good, burn metal! You no question our methods! Go away!"

[PhantomZ]

Turians never give up, always in the frontline, always first in, last out!
Gratz everyone, we made a great job, now time for the reapers to payback!

Heh, the best way to win this would be with 600001 atlases killed, that way everyone would be able to say: "If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't made it!", which is awesome if you ask me. Still, pretty close, so every participant feels needed

btw, thank you, bioware, for such balanced task )

Nice!

[MMX377]

Yes! I've done it! We've done it! Good job, you guys! Glad to help as the same race working with you!

...I think?

[kelly ripas bicep]

by the skin of our teeth! You gotta figure that they know how many Atlases get zarked in a weekend, and assume an increased participation in their figure.

[Jerramie]

Man, that means we had very few people playing this pat weekend. The accepted numbers is that approximately 100k people play online at any one time. That means on average we would have needed to kill only 6 atlas mechs apiece. I killed over 200 at least. Even if I had only killed fifty, that means there were only 12k people playing this weekend. That's dismal numbers from the over 100k we had two opporations ago. You know the one when we only had to promote two class's apiece. Looks like BL2 is sucking people away after all. Disclaimer: the numbers used are purely hypothetical and based partially on numbers thrown around on the bioware player forums. Better dump that Omega dlc pretty quick before the only people left playing are me and my son. Please give us some dlc news.

[petitcomique]

For Tuchanka!

Was a lot of fun and more easier to get groups than I thought.

Closer result than I expected though!

I'm not assuming anything. I presented the data based on my own observations and voiced my suspicion, which is different than assumption. I am careful with my words. I just find it curious and yes, a but suspicious.

My fav round was all quarian me being the only female
all asari was strangely disappointing way less explosions than hoped for
But I'm glad we made it
Watching these tin men explodes never fail to amuse me

[FROI M]

I like it.

[Viking_1388]

This is most welcome news.
This unit will now learn how to love. It will then be sent out to everyone here who fought, killed and died to severe the galaxy.
This unit congratulates.
Geth out.

[AzuraAngellus]

Acknowledged.

Recovery sequence initiated.

This platform is now combat ready.

Wish I ended up in an all asari squad, I kept getting thrown into quarian matches that were just starting, as a drell vangard because the server hates me.

After a while gave up being on the right team and just N7 shadowed my way sunday night since no one else seemed to get the idea that the team was supposed to be all one alien race.

[Wsip79]

Thank you all! I really don't know ways to express my gratitude...

[Baltimark]

GREAT WIN!! Let's do another soon.

Quarian fem engineer has always been my favorite character, had the highest success ratio and most fun with all quarian teams.

[The Drake]

Did anyone play a Drell squad? I was ready to but the combination never came up ...

Great job all! Now give me my Valiant!!!!!

A. Your voiced suspicions were also assumptions, as there was no proof behind it.

B. Basing data on your own observations(and feelings) is also referred to as perceptual bias

C. Sometimes people just talk to each other, without meaning to hurt other peoples feelings. No problem there dude...
