To your first point, I agree, but they're doing it every week now instead of every 2 weeks, so that makes it easier.  We needed a promotional assault rifle and now we have one.  I hope that by the time I get it, it has been buffed considerably (either more power or less weight).  It worked well in SP, but its power/weight ratio is not nearly high enough to warrant use in MP.

I understand what you are saying. I do however expect N7 Bounties to get harder as they work out the kinks. The Krogan challenge looked simple, but my guess is that the challenge was more internally to the Bioware staff to ensure everything worked.. which it didin't, initially. So they are still working the kinks out.

Once that is done, I expect more exotic challenges, and inevitably that means some will fail. So.. yeah. Odds aren't getting better.

Not to say I won't go bang bang virtually, of course. I just sigh, shake my head and get the job done the best I can.

To your second point - yeah, that kinda hurts the new players.  I know a few new players were complaining about the last operation because they didn't have any Krogan characters yet.

My perspective is as follows: The odds of not taking part in the Krogan operation is there if you started recently but is also a bit of a luck draw. Granted, with the big number of kits these days and the relatively low number of Krogan kits...

However, the odds of not being able to take part in this operation is 100% if you have never taken part in one before. So your friends, who just started and without a Krogan, faces a double exclusion this week if they have no N7 weapons from previous challenges. A double whammy isn't something I like to foist on newcomers.

The only N7 weapon I've even unlocked after MONTHS of playing gold is the Crusader and I think it's only at the second rank. I also have like 486534756t4378923 characters to unlock still. GOD DAMMIT I WANT COOLER WEAPONS.


There are ultra rare weapons that can be unlocked in packs, and there are promotional weapons that can only be unlocked by doing these now-weekly operations.

Some ultra-rares and all promo weapons say N7 on them, but the two types are unlocked in different ways.

So it doesn't matter how much you play and how many packs you buy, if you don't do the weekly ops, you'll never, ever get a Hurricane, Eagle, Crusader, Valiant or (now) Valkyrie.

David,

With the new players starting up in desperate need of better weapons, have you guys considered altering the challenge so they can have a shot at a weapon. Such as maybe doubling the required points but you can use one of the starter weapons. That way they still have an opportunity to participate but it requires more work on their part.

As much as I loved the Valkyrie in SP and have been anticipating its addition to MP since release, my only thought right now is "Oh god I'm never ever getting the Hurricane."

Great a new weapon I’ll never get or will only get it leveled once or twice. I'll probably get a character card instead and one I already have.

Also, I take it the Victory Packs are history now? As much as I hated getting just consumables in a pack for a weekend challenge it helped restock medi-gel and Ops packs at least. I havent seen either of those in any the packs (non supply pack) I’ve picked up since the Collectors started being a royal somewhat over powered pain.

If you intend to not use the Crusader it probably won't work. I believe the statement " Points will be cumulative" means that the points you did with 2 Commendation weapons will be combined. For example. You may use the Crusader a few times and do 25000 points with it and in the same game you use the Eagle to do the other 25000 points. Wich is 50000 points and you win. But then again if you do 20000 points with the Crusader and 25000 points with the Eagle plus 5000 points with melee kills, you lost. Becaues you only did 45000 points with Commendation weapons.

You ALWAYS get a promo weapon in the individual goal pack, NEVER a character card.

They said the community goals require a lot of back-end work. By ditching them, they are able to deliver operations every week instead of every two weeks, and the new system lets them deliver commendation packs the moment you complete the challenge, too.

They said they might do a community challenge from time to time anyway, but not on a consistent schedule.

I think it's a pretty good tradeoff.

He's talking about Victory Packs, which were sort of like a Jumbo Equipment Pack + a rare of any type.

Still no confirmation if this has to be done in a single match. 50,000 points is a good amount, so if it's one match then it's best to do it solo.

I have not used the Crusader much, any opinions on what class it'd work best with? I'm thinking an infiltrator.

Yeah, and as someone who preordered it I'm saying everyone should be able to enjoy it  in MP.  Image IPB

I would imagine they'll come back when we get another community goaled operation instead of just an individual one.

Bad week for new comers. First the Krogan melee weekend, now promotional weekend.

Remind me of when I played MP back in march and participated the events. The system didn't register my effort but I did them non the less. But this is even more horrible, you can't participate in it at all.

Hope BW fix whatever problems within the new system this time.
