Oh wow unintendedly unlocked Geth Mastery while gunning for another banner hours before these changes. Guess I've been playing against Geth a lot. Fortunate for me, but I feel for everyone else that was close to the goal.

Feels a bit unfair to me? I mean, somewhere down the line we'll have two people discussing "I got the banner doing 12" and another "I deserve it more because I had to complete all 18 to get it". And yes, last I checked my Cyber Warrior banner is still intact.

- The changes below were put in place to fix a bug where some players could no longer progress after unlocking a Gold challenge:   
- Combat Mastery goal changed from 9 to 12    
- Cerberus Mastery goal changed from 17 to 21   
- Reaper Mastery goal changed from 15 to 18   
- Geth Mastery goal changed from 12 to 18   
- Collector Mastery goal changed from 12 to 15


Argh, I missed a day playing and the banners I've been gunning for are now harder to get
Kill 5000000000 husks via melee??? :crying:


Please fix this the right way and put the challenge requirements back the way they were. I'd like to get a banner by 2013 without having to quit my job.



Agreed.  These changes are absolutely ridiculous.  Idiotic would be a nice way of putting it.

No love for the Collector AR and SMG? Surely Bioware is aware of the discontent this board has for those two guns, and the fact that the magazine capacity mod doesn't work on the Collector SR.


there is no mag capacity mod for the SR, there is a spare ammo mod that  does nothing for rechargeable weapons. in other words there is no bug to fix, everything is working as intened, if you need a bigger clip use a destroyer

I can't speak for the SMG (I don't have it), but the SR is amazing and the Collector AR is effective even on platinum, I think it work as intended.

Consulate yourself, I got it, and it was removed a few seconds later, as the changes went live.

450k husks points for banner? Seriously? This is insane. I already got 12 challenges and 2 can complete in next game, but husks still <90k, fix that
P.S. cerberus points unbalanced too. I complete phantom challenge a few day ago, but guardian and centurion still not 1 lvl...I want this banner too, but don't want to draw too many games on silver or bronze.
p.p.s. sorry for my language

By any chance, can we the harpoon gun actually impale enemies to the walls or each other?
I still love seeing those guys fly

Huh... why is the Melee Medal requirements higher now? I don't think anyone had any problem with that. Unless they just plain wanted to increase the amount for some reason, and even then it was increased by a high amount. :s

Nice Sniper buffs, especially the Javelin's :D

With the Krysae, is there still a way to get the scopezoom to work? Or is that no longer possible? Not that anyone used it though probably.

This is absurd, Bioware

How on Earth are we going to earn so many Husk points? Grinding bronze?
Well, I'll tell, this aint fun, this aint challenging, this is boring and stupid.
And even on bronze the Husks hardly spawn at all!!!!! I soloed Bronze yesterday and got may be 10% increase in the first Husk Mastery
All I see are damn Cannibals. What a genius balance change, thanks a lot!
Now I'm thinking about abandoning this mp again. Every time it gets interesting you introduce some stupid irritating change as if on purpose. Thanks again
doh

I'm really against changing weapons mechanics just to counter exploits. The practical result for me is just less diversity in weapons behavior especially in krysae with the change in zoom function. I'm also against the change in the acolyte and it is not a question if it is now better or worse. It is a question of diversity in the weapons feel.

By the way I was also against the change in charge up behavior of the missile launcher and since that one was not reverted I will assume these two will stay from now on which is a shame for me.

You too? I completed all 3 phantom challenges, all 3 dragoon challenges, and all 3 trooper challenges before I even reached the second challenge for nemesis, centurion, and guardians. It seems like those enemies spawn most during early waves but just completely disappear to give way to the big pointer enemies.

They really need to balance the system..it's ridiculous that it's so incredibly easy to get the hardest enemies done and out of the way. Makes no sense.

50 Melee kills for Gold?

Geez.

Only possibly with N7 Shadow.

I welcome these changes, with the exception of the melee medals. Wouldn't 10, 20 and 30 have been more reasonable? Just please don't change the grab medals!

Glad difficulty balance is being looked into. My 250kb/s internet connection during the week had rendered most PUGs impossible since the update. Hopefully it'll silence those looking for drell survivability buffs and the like, too.

Sniper changes are good for those who play 'em. I don't particularly but fair do's. Charge weapon changes are okay too - Acolyte might see a bit of overuse initially but that will probably balance out. Taking Wraith and Acolyte on my Vanguards seems like a good combination though, worked out well in a couple of games earlier on today.

Challenge changes though are, without wishing to be inflammatory, really irritating. I've been spending the last few days working towards of the Mastery challenges and the goal posts get moved at the last minute. Not cool, not cool at all. And I'm struggling to see any logical reason for it besides the one presented.

Nothing about the healthgate/shieldgate/difficultyspike issue either which is what I was hoping to see. What I was actually hoping for I'm not sure of though - perhaps drop the accuracy by 10% on Bronze and 5% on Silver. Hope we get something soon.

I'm going to be in the same situation, and then I guess I'll have to find a way to grind centurions/guardians/nemesis.
Part of the problem seems to be that Dragoons were simply placed in spots that would be occupied by units like guardians (resulting in the large number of dragoons, and almost no guardians whatsoever). I can't prove it of course, but it seems that way.

Anyone have some tips for guardian hunting?

Acolyte and krysae got a change but i think it was also possible to missile glitch with striker and falcon (ive never done it personally) but ive seen it before i think. So the latest weekly change douldnt completely fix the issue if the glitchers can keep going with those other weapons(?) Why didnt you guys change chargeup on all weapons or just put a hard cap on the number of missiles that can be launched per person per game?

 When I saw this:

Black Widow Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [591.2-739] to [739.0-923.8]


My face went like this: :o :blink: :happy:

That's one hell of a bump, especially considering the BW had already had a damage boost 2 weeks prior. That boost made it usable on a GI again (instead of just being totally inferior to shotguns), now it's like... whoa. That said, it's probably now usable on lots of characters, rather than just the heavy hitting GI so props to that.
