So....

I took like a 3 month break from ME3, after getting burnt out.  Well my break worked, and with all of the new DLC, and the addition of the N7 HQ I am back in the fray at full force.

With all of the new changes, which are excellent, I began to look over all of the new Challenge Awards.  I realized pretty quickly that a lot of them would take a lot of playing and grinding, which I am ok with because it adds a lot more depth and replay value. 

I knew I had to have a Banner as well. 

Before I even looked over the actual challenges the Lone Wolf Banner caught my eye, and it was my new goal to achieve it, no matter the cost.   But after seeing the challenges, I thought, Solo Gold - twice?   I had never tried it once.

Hmmm...let's give it a go.

Well earlier today I gave it a shot, and all I need now is 2 Bronze solo's for my Banner.

I was excited.  Tomorrow I will have my prize.

Then I come to the Boards and players seem to be getting reamed for wanting to display a banner they put some work into to get.

Why?  Why the hate?  Are people jealous?

I want this Banner for 2 reasons:

 - I love the look of it, I have several N7 t-shirts, and a sweatshirt, my screen saver at work is N7 - it just fits me.
 - The Lone Wolf name is just....cool.  In Black Ops my Banner was always Lone Wolf, so I was thrilled to see it in ME3.  I had to have it.

I see people saying it's the easiest to get. 

I disagree, it's probably "The Quickest" to get, but by no means the easiest.

I'm sure this thread has been done, but I did not take the time to research the 9 million posts, so I'm just curious to why some players are moaning about this banner.

I will Display it w/pride, if you see me online - XBOX, boot me, but don't just boot me because of a picture that I put a lot of time and effort into to achieve.

Don't be a hater.

Most of the people I've seen complaining about it are just being elitists that are sore about it being doable by just using the Kroguard vs Geth Gold rather than having to solo Platinum.

[corporal doody]

pfft.

Lone Wolf just means you are good at playing with yourself.

COngratz....and dont post a vid on youtube.....


"OH man..that dude gotsta the Lone Wolf banner...he must be AWESOME!!!"

Best I've managed to do solo was wave six silver. I tip my hat to all the better players out there. If I could get anywhere near the lone wolf banner I'd show it with pride.

But itt shoud require you to solo platinum though. You're not a "solo master" if you didn't solo platinum now are you? And in 90% of cases, when you see a lone wolf they probably did it the easy mode way, kroguard and lolreegar vs geth.

I'm not being an elitist, I'm just looking at it from the perspective of it actually being a challenge.... since when was kroguard geth using lolreegar on gold a challenge?

Truth be told what do I care about the banner you chose to display in the lobby or hoving over your kit's head? As long as you get the job done, everybody's happy, game on.

You don't need the affirmation of this forums to get on with life, either real or the electronic version.

I won't lie, I did not try Platinum yet, but I will.

My first Gold I use Krogaurd w/Pirahana, second Gold solo I used N7 Demolisher - both vs Geth.  Second run through was a lot of running, hiding, and arc grenade throwing.

I am by far not one of the best in the world at this game, so I do what I need to do to get the job done.

Agreed - 100%.

Since when are the majority of the challenges in the game actually a challenge?

Even with Geth/Kroguard Solo Mastery is still one of the hardest ones, unless somebody actually wants to try to argue that farming 140k points with weapons on Bronze takes any amount of skill.

The banners are about having something cool to put on your name in the lobby(and giving us a grind that isn't RNG based), not about waving your epeen around.

I've never seen anyone else with my banner. I'm so hip.

If you have The Lone Wolf, I haven't played with ANYONE who has had it displayed yet. 

Not one player.

I have seen a lot of "Biotic God", and "Mathemagician" though.  A lot.

The only Lone Wolf I've actually seen is myself.

Good amount of Biotic Gods and Mathemagicians, and even one Dog of War and Cyber Warrior, but no other Lone Wolves.

Agreed as well.

I have the lone wolf and was in a lobby today when one guy said "that's easy to get." It was particularly funny because this guy had no banner at all. The lone wolf one actually requires some skill, because every other banner is kill x monster x amount of times. (Map mastery too)

[Malanek]

Maybe they should introduce a new banner, Alpha Wolf, which requires a Platinum solo. Must admit, if they did that I would be tempted to try.

I've got it, let 'em get mad OP. Rather have the Streetsweeper banner though.

You do actually have to kill them at some point. Plus do objectives.

Alpha Wolf sounds lame

More like just a "Badass" with shepard and sunglasses

so....run in circles around the map whilst baddies chase you.... run um around to keep them off objectives so you have time to do them whilst they try to catch up to you.



all im saying is....all this emphasis on soloing as a indication of SKILL while at the same time denigrating everything else is RIDICULOUS to me.
