Hello,

I am going to try and compile an FAQ for the challenge system so please keep it on topic and questions about the challenge system and I will do my best to answer the questions and keep them organized for people to see information.

Here is a blog post by Nathan Plewes describing what the challenge system is.

If you wish to add a link to your mainfest in your signature block, a helpful fan has provided instructions in a thread linked here.

Also I can not comment on anything that is future, this is only for what is currently there.

Q: How do I unlock banners?
A: Completing the gold level of a challenge

Q: Do assists count?
A: Yes they count for both kills and assists for any point based challenges

Q: Are there any rewards for challenge points except banners? And names i think?
A: Those are the only current rewards

Q: Will weekend promotions run on the challenge system?
A: Yes that is the design

Q: Will there be promotional challenges that are only open for a short amount of time?
A: Thats the plan

Q: My account doesnt display the right Origin ID/GT/PSN ID under the N7 HQ.
A: Click on activate online accounts inside my games

Q: Why isnt <X> in the challenge system?
A: Some abilities don't work well with the challenge system so they arent part of

Q: Why isnt <X> gun in the challenge system?
A: We may add them later you'll have to wait and see

Q: Why isnt the challenges retroactive?
A: To give everyone an equal footing and there was no way to keep track retroactively?

Q: Why does it show that I dont have achievements for DLC?
A: We are looking into this

Q: Resurgence doesn't show up as a weekend challenge 
A: Technically resurgence only required you to have the dlc installed, it used a different system we are looking at a way to display it for people but as of right now it is expected you dont have it

Be sure to check out the N7 HQ site – a companion to the latest Mass Effect 3 update and multiplayer pack (Retaliation) featuring the new MP challenge system.  

In addition to the already available Galaxy at War information, you can now also see your (near) real-time progress towards the challenges, which characters you’ve unlocked, view your friends’ progress, and more.

Do the damage tallies for powers include damage done to an enemy even if you dont get that particular kill, just an assist?

You will recieve points for both assist and kills, it is based on the damage done (with other modifiers for the person who killed) difficulty also affects points

How do I get banners with the challenge points?

The challenge points and the banners are 2 seperate things, when you complete a gold level challenge you will be able to set your banner

Any plans to include appearance rewards such as additional camos, colours, armours for some challenges?

That is not possible with the current content we have available because the colours etc. dont exist on disc or in the DLC

Does your response imply that future rewards (which are as yet undisclosed) are likely?

I can not comment about future plans, wether they exist or not sorry, under an NDA

Why is N7 Slayer's power called Phase Disruptor missing from the Mastery challenge list or did I miss something? I presumed all Biotic & Tech powers were supposed to be listed as challenges.

Some powers and abilities are not used in the challenge system because they were not able to be tracked in a particularly good way.

Thanks, one more thing. I am not sure I understand the different levels of commondations. IE the Collector Trooper Kill 1 then Collector Trooper Kill 2....ect. What is the difference?

For those ones we just wanted to have mutliple levels as opposed to having to grind out husks for example.

Ah, then what about the armours that are on SP? Or is that something that still can't be accessed?

Not possible either

What sort of customizations are you hoping to add further down the line? What banners/customizations will you personally be sporting?

I will display whatever I unlock I cant comment on future

What about weekend operations? I read somewhere that with this new system packs will drop immediately is this true?

Yes it will be tied to the weekend operations, we will see if it will drop immediately it might. There is also a possibility that there will be weekend promotion banners.

So for instance you kill a Collector Trooper in Bronze and it will only reflect in the #1 list while if you kill one in silver it will be reflected in the #2 list?

For collector trooper for example lets say the goal was
I: 10000
II: 30000 
III: 80000

If you got 5000 points you would be at 
5000/10000
5000/30000
5000/80000

When can we expect to be able to track our progress via BSN, like our Manifest? And just for kicks and giggles, what's your favorite banner?

I haven't been through all the banners to personally comment, I liked the one for solo mastery/mass effect as my default ones during development.

As for displaying challenge information on BSN it will hopefully be soon

Where do you set your banner?

You will be able to set your banner in game in the Challenge GUI section, if the gold level challenge is unlocked you highlight that one and click on set banner (or /\\ / Y). There will also be the ability to set with the website as well

When will we be able to work towards achieving those challenges (or is it now possible with the downloaded DLC)?

You require Retaliation and the latest patch to be installed

Are you going to sticky this thread?

Yes

kaileena_sands wrote...

Thanks a lot for that topic, Bryan!

On to the question:

So, as I understand it if I go for Shadow Strike mastery, I'll get a banner when I complete the gold one. And when I complete it the points will reset back to 0? There's no way to (in theory) have 100% in everything?

My OCD is tickling me...

+ when we get several banners we can change them at will, they are forever?

When you do complete the gold one you will get a check mark next to the gold level mastery, and it will tell you "Completed 1 times" and you will be able to set your banner. Then the progress will be reset.

So you are correct it wont ever say 100% on everything but you will be able to have a checkbox on everything.

Part 2: When you have several banners you can change them at will, but you arent able to set it back to none, you will always have to have a banner (might change in the future)

Will there be any special event challenges where you have only a limited amount of time to complete for a unique banner?

Edit: spelling.

More than likely, yes

[Bryan Johnson]

TheHueyFreeman wrote...

Thanks. One more question.

Is there a place where we can see what all of the challenges are yet? If not, when will that be coming?

In game you can after you click on Multiplayer click on Challenges you will see a GUI similar to the journal/codex menu that will have a section for Alien/General/Weapons

Hi Bryan! Thank you for this topic! I noticed that the number of times I have promoted my characters pre-patch/DLC has been counted and posted on the multiplayer screen so I wonder, will you also backdate our MP statistics and update the challenges to reflect the ones we have previously beaten? Having played mp for a long while now, I know I've earned quite a few banners already but the counter still says 0. Thank you!!

This system did not exist so we were not able to backdate all data. The promotions is the only thing we would have been able to track, but decided it wasnt fair/edge so we decided everything is set to 0.

[Bryan Johnson]

nafnoid wrote...

Thank you again for the quick response! But wait, when did you reset the promotions number? I promoted all of my characters after downloading the DLC so I could get them leveled up with each new character card. Since the DLC, I've promoted my Infiltrator twice and my soldier once (I think). Now I'm nervous!

I was only talking in terms of the challenge system, we didnt reset anything. We just didnt count any past promotions.

I'm honestly a little overwhelmed, this level of post release support is something I haven't seen since Bungie.

I was wanting to check on "But we’ve also built a new N7 HQ web page that offers a ton of information when you’re not playing, including character lists, leaderboards, and gameplay stats. In-game or online, you’ll have a comprehensive way to review your overall multiplayer progression."

Is there any info on when this site is going live? Is it a separate site or will be part of the BSN site profile once it is ready?

Stay classy BioWare

We are hoping to have this feature going live today, just is going through a final review

[Jesse Reid]

It is live now.
