You're just full of bad ideas today aren't you, OP?

nope my ideas are awesome. I love the original challenges they gave us especially the first 5 or so. I couldn't complete all of them but they were a lot of fun. I don't find playing one match and surviving 5 waves of a game that has been out for 9 months a big deal. Most of us know how to play the game and I don't think I am alone here. I think that is why many people have stopped playing ME3MP because of stuff like this. Or the people who play long enough to get the packs unlock the new character and then go back to playing Halo or something.

Why do you need Bioware to make interesting challenges for you? Are you that unimaginative that you cannot create your own self imposed challenges? Or do you simply think only a select few should have access to the promotional N7 weapons, and a level of "skill" must be first proven to obtain them?

There are lots of ways to make this game more challenging, if you arent capable of thinking of ways to make it more so, then simply query the forums for some interesting artificial difficulty modifiers.

As it stands the "challenges" are more like "thanks for playing our game, enjoy this weapon"... quite frankly I can make this game harder anytime I choose, and by whatever methods I choose, and I much prefer it rather than the obscure ones created by Bioware which often forced me to depend upon the gaming community to achieve my rewards.

As I've said several times already, you want this game to be harder? All the difficulty can be modified anytime you choose to.

I am playing a video game not having imagination time. If I wanted to be imaginative I would write a story or something. Its not my job to be creative when playing a game because the developer has decided to stop being creative.

Wouldna mind if the challenge took a few hours to complete.

The N7 day challenge and the Halloween challenge actually took 1-3 hours for me, just because it required extractions.

this is what I am getting at 

[TheThirdSpectre]

Agreed. The Challenges are far, far too easy.

Then simply ask the forum for challenge requests much like many of the "BSN youtube celebrities" have been doing. Plenty of terrible weapons and poor class choices you can use, and many people who are willing to tell you submit yourself to that torture. All you need to do is ask... which you could've already had replies to by now if you spent half as much time doing that as you have complaining about Bioware not making the game hard enough for you.

No need to punish everyone for your own lack of vision.

[Rebel_Raven]

Honestly, taking an easy way out of the challenge then complaining it's too easy? That's BS.

People who don't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to the game shouldn't be punished because you want some of the easiest ways to be too difficult for the people who're not able to play so much.

[GaudiestLeech]

I haven't did a gold solo yet and I'm not going to try for a while yet....I was going to just get 5 waves and just die but I got distracted by my 2 kids and forgot.I'm not going to fool around on CONDOR with a group survival mission...its a waste of consumables and time. I don't like to solo but I'm NOT going to trust pugs on THIS...see all this is troll challange post...It could take all weekend then but it would be horrible.

[GaudiestLeech]

AND I gave my idea......a different challenge per level only being able to complete 1.....payout based on level YOU PICK has nothing complaining about how easy it is.... just a choice for something different....seems nobody read that...or maby not worth reading I don't know ....

[brad2240]

I don't think these challenges are meant to be difficult at all. IMO they're just something fun to do, maybe something to get us to try different kits, weapons or maps. The little lore-based "mission briefings" help make it feel like we're part of the ME universe, if you want a little RP in your killing sprees.

These challenges should be accesible to players of all skill levels, and achievable regardless of how long they've been playing or how their manifest looks. So of course the tasks will be rediculously easy for people that have been playing for months with lots of great classes, guns and gear.

But what about the guy that started playing a couple days ago? Believe me, the fastest way to kill the growth of the game would be to show new players there are activities to participate in and then making those activities unachievable. Who would enjoy being left out in the cold?

As far as the challenges taking hours to complete, not everyone has the time or inclination to spend hours on a game during the weekend. Those of us that do probably don't appreciate how lucky we are. I don't think they should take more than 2-3 matches to complete, generally speaking, and personally I like the extraction-based challenges.

Just my 2 cents.

[Daihannya]

I am on the fence with this. I play too much, but I know folks have lives, and can't spend 3 hours to finish a challenge. I have friends that are just casual ME players, and not as adicted as I am.

What would probably be better is a tierd weekend challenge. A challenge to get the promotional item like what we have this weekend, and a harder one to get something like an ultra PSP with all gold cards.

[Archeraz]

I prefer easy challenges, you may know the Great fire wall of Internet in China. Getting you disconnected every 10 minutes.

i remember the days when we had to play gold and get a full extraction.. and biower didnt tell us we needed the full extraction. also not knowing if you did the challenge because we recieved our packs the following tuesday or wednesday.

Took 10 minutes not hard.

Could have done gold but we find Silver to be more fun and relaxed.

We are not hardcore gamers who like to play the hardest difficulty like that we were just having fun but anyway.

You like to play fun and relaxed, but say you want harder challenges. What?

my lack of vision or your lack of comprehension. Again its not about the bronze, silver, gold difficulty and more that it only takes 10 minutes to do that I think is just silly. Maybe instead of defending these silly so called challenges you should get your weight up if you actually find them challenging. We had a challenge to use assualt rifles until we got a certain score recently! Why call it a challenge if its not really a challenge at all. 

[Kinom001]

Challenges should be balanced to the player base as whole, not the top 2% or BSN users.

[KevTheGamer]

You know what I am done some of you guys have real comprehension issues. You all saw silver and started talking about silver. It has nothing to do with it being silver at all. Who here can't survive 5 waves on gold? Its all about picking your spots and knowing how to survive without getting overrun. This is about the fact that the challenge can be done in under 20 minutes when the old challenges would at times take a few hours. That is what this thread is about. If you are too dense to see past that I don't know what to say about it. 

[G Kevin]

Not everyone has the time to do lengthy challenges OP. That's why they are short and simple, at least as for as I have noticed.

If you want to make surviving 5 waves more challenging, try and do so on a higher difficulty such as Gold or Platinum. This way, you can get a challenge, while others who don't have the time, or those who play a bit more casually are not punished.

In other words, if you find that the weekly challenges are not difficult, and you want a challenge, make them harder with either artificial restrictions (such as not using this or that equipment.) or ramp up the difficulty.

And you aren't dense to see that not everyone can survive 5 waves on gold? I play with an awesome team who can do platinum, and **** still happens and we drop on gold before 5 waves survived.

So you know... glass houses and all.

Although tbh I do agree that the more recent weekend challenges are those that can be finished quite quickly. Not that I mind. I just want to get my comm pack asap and go back to doing what I find fun.

[Dunabar]

While community goals were awesome because they brought the community together for a bit effort, there was a lot of folks who liked to sabotage them (You douchebags know who you are...)

But the nice thing was that if we achieved both the individual and squad goal we got two packs. In just my personal 2 cent opinion, I think it would be a good idea to offer two different challenges.

Commendation pack - Standard operations like we're doing now, easy to accomplish objective for everyone.

N7 Ops Pack (Victory pack) - Reward this pack to people who go above the standard operation, say something like...

Extract 4 times on Bronze, Extract 3 times on Silver, Extract 2 times on Gold, and Extract 1 time on Platinum

^-- Doesn't need to be this but the idea is that it should be something that cannot be done in a few minutes. It could be whatever tougher grade challenge. This challenge could give experience players their more challenging objective and encourage newer players to try tougher challenges then reward both groups upon completion for it.

This N7 Ops pack can contain...
+ 5 Cobra missles
+1 to Medi-gel cap or Cobra missles or etc etc... (Hard cap at maybe 8?)
1 guarteed Ultra-rare (Of course the UR would be random)

Its not a perfect idea but it does keep things easy for newer players and gives the more experienced players a challenge. Newer players could benefit from this just like the veterans can, may be much harder for them but they get double the reward bonus of completing both tasks.

Poster creates idea
poster contradicts idea
poster attacks everyones comprehension for not understanding what is actually 2 conflicting ideas to be one unified idea.
poster abandons thread angrily.

Yup, this is the bsn.

Lusty here! With some lifechanging advice for you!

Ok dude, in case you have not noticed the game already difficulty levels. You can often make challenges as hard or easy as ya want. For example 50.000 Assault rifle points. Sure i can take my Typhoon to silver on a destroyer and be done in a single game. Or i can do it with my avenger on a volus in a plat game. See that is choice right there.

This weeks event, sure i can do it solo on bronze and be done with it in 5 mins. Or i can do it in a random platinum game trying my best to cover all the teammates and work together so noone dies.
Again, your choice.

Also if all else fails...just do what i do. Complete the challenges using only your NOSE!

This is stupid.

Everytime somebody claims "operation blah is too easy", they've done it on Bronze. If you want a challenge, then do it on Gold or Platinum. And especially this weekend challenge was quite hard to accomplish on Gold. We failed twice until we got it done.

And if the challenges were really, really difficult then people would complain about them being too hard. Not to mention that the reward isn't all that great.

IMO the challenges were created for casual players, not us ( hardcore players OR plain old forumites you wouldnt be here if you didnt love the game), they know were playing anyway.
For us, it's nothing but additional incentive.
there is absolutely nothing for them to gain by making them hard/harder, especially when this is a business.

I like upgrading my N7 weapons. If you want hard challenges, there are quite a few in the "Challenges" section, look there.
