I thought this was going to be about something better. Like how the challenge system is going to skew the telemetry that they use for balancing. If lots of people are using weapons they normally wouldn't to get challenges, then those weapons are less likely to get the buffs they need.

The only "Elitist" thing I have seen are the people at the top of the leaderboards who have only done the tech challenge over and over again and they think that makes them better then everyone else. Well that's what i've noticed.

Its better than having a stale blue title card in the lobby. And gives people something to work for.

My marksman badge will be nothing more nothing less than a scathing ironic comment on all the grinding it took to get it... and still no actual harrier. Image IPB

Today I have like 300 because I'm almost done with the tech mastery. But still, that's because I'm committed to getting it. For someone that never plays as the same races, they could hardly make any progress in their challenges.

Every single game one plays adds progress towards the enemy type challenges, so no one can't play much at all without progressing challenges.

Don't feel too bad about having the only banner....I've been in lobbies where people soon after the DLC talk about how cool the banners look...

Don't have one yet but it was cool seeing a Mathemagician, Lone Wolf and Collector General in the same group as me....

EDIT: Yeah...even if you JUST play bronze and use 1 class, eventually you would get one of the enemy faction banners....

The challenge system was a good idea imo...
Its actually made me use weapons and powers I've not used in an age...

If its doing that then its working. I've actually seeing high ranked players using the avenger again...
Yes it can be abused, elitest dickless wonders will always find a way to be elitest. Just move on and find a new lobby...

I have not run across that issue at all, with friends or randoms.

Quite the opposite, I am enjoying it. Before the challenge system, I tended to stick with one main character and weapon. Now, I actually have some motivation to spread my wings and try other character and weapon combinations in an attempt to unlock banners... and I am finding myself having even more fun than before.

I earned my Collector General banner yesterday. I have yet to be kicked or see anyone kicked for their challenge score. Any kicks I see is for the other reasons. Too low of a N7 score, performing badly, etc. The usual, it's just as petty to kick for N7 rating or challenge score.

I don't mind the Challenge System.

I mind the goofballs who forget that they have objectives to complete, waves to clear, and goes about without thoughts of teamwork, all to rack up points for their challenges. Teamwork before Challenge, chummers.

I agree. It is a team based multiplayer. I've played way too many game in which we failed simply because somone decided that it would be best if they were a lone wolf. Needless to say, that attitude ended up costing us the match every time...

:mellow:

I don't really care either way about the challenge system. It all feels a bit "Super Mario" to me. Collect 10 coins, and get a banner. Snore!

 It simply leads to ego preening and elitism "oh he has a low challenge completion kick him" meanwhile "he" ended up carrying the team as a volus.

it causes people to go for the challenges in particular rather than passively pick them up as the person in question plays. 

So where is the difference to the N7 rating we had before?

Both ratings mean squat. Just yesterday we had a "lone wolf", which means he soloed gold at least twice ( at least I think that was what a friend told me ) and he stumbled across the map like a drunken boxing master and got himself killed three times as often as we managed to do so.

So...

TL;DR: Nothing changed. Challenge Rating as useless as N7 Rating. :lol:

Honestly it's pointless and only serves to give people who really really really like this game something to do.

Well, really didn't mean it as a bad thing. Just not necessary. Sorta like how it shows how many times you promoted a character.

I love the new challenge system, mainly because it now gives me a way to show my "dedication" to the game in another way than the horrible N7 rating. I don't like promoting at all, so all the elitists think I'm an inferior player because I don't have a high N7 rating.

The challenge system also got me to use new classes, other than my few select ones. I've never had so much fun in the game after I discovered the vorcha flamer!

my challenge rating is higher than my N7 rating. I hate promoting characters. N7 rating means nothing as well. I always look for what gear they have because you never know if they are "non-promoters" like I am. The challenge rating doesn't mean anything other than how much they have played since the last update.

Without the Challenge System, I would have no gauge on how little of a life I have.
