A "only common weapons" weekend would be funny.

And srsly, not everybody got endless time on weekends, 15min for a fast PUG on Bronze is all some people have. It's fine as it is.
Play Gold without consumables, Gear and only with lvl 1 charakters and common weapons if you have time and skill to do so.

[Battlepope190]

Maybe not more difficult, but I'd like to see them a little more complex.

I like the weekend gimme's...having maxed manifest can be boring. But yeah, they should change it from challenge, to event. It's not a challenge.

[Grinch57]

Upinya, I have to go with most others on this one. You can always make a weekend challenge tough for yourself, personally, by setting your own restrictions.

What you are suggesting would lock out the majority of folks who play the game. So it becomes an epeen thing to have done the challenge.

BSN is not representative of the ME3 MP player pool. There are far more folks here that play gold or platinum on a regular basis than the ME3 population at large.

Plus ... all the whining and ridicule heaped on pugs after a challenge like that. Folks trying to complete one that is beyond their skill level.

How many times have we read threads on weekend challenges where all the BSN superheroes ****** about having to solo the challenge because pugs are so bad? The same challenges most players complete just fine, in pugs. A lot of glass cannons on BSN. Can solo platinum or speed run it with friends, but cry and cry about horrible pugs that don't belong on gold.

You've conquered the game, you're bored with it at this point. I get that. But the game does not revolve around folks in your situation. The challenges should not either.

What about challenges for different difficulties?

Ex. Full extraction vs. Reapers on Condor - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Plat - using only Turians?

With each difficulty getting you a comm pack and each challenge separate so that higher difficulties don't count toward lower difficulties?

[Beerfish]

How about if they come up with different objectives but you can only get one?

As in a bronze objective, silver and gold but once you complete one that is it for rewards.

I get all of that. And where you're coming from.

After all, I was one of those PuGs, and I had to be carried twice to get my weekend ops both times.

Still, I preferred that overall. I wanted it to be hard to do. From what I remember, I had to try at least three times both ops that required it.

But I learned how to contribute to a team without necessarily getting a lot of kill points, and it was a much more rewarding experience.

The newer style of challenge is certainly better for levelling the playing field, which I'm sure newer players would appreciate.

Maybe there could be 2-tier challenges (similar to the individual and community goals) where accomplishment A gets you a basic Commendation pack, while accomplishment B gets you one with 5 items instead of 3. (But still only 1 Promo weapon).

Maybe it could have a guaranteed uncommon gear item (2 birds, 1 stone!).

You can already make most of the challenges a bit more difficult by not doing it on Bronze.

Like the last one. What kept you from trying to extract on Platinum with one male and one female human kit?

[Wolfsbladex]

This thread is kinda funny.

I think weekend challenges should be doable by all players, including the new ones.

Agreed.

[xtorma]

The only reason for difficult operations is to exclude people from completing them. Although I understand some people's need to feel superior at video games, it just does not make any sense in a coop game.

From reading your posts and watching your videos on these forums, you and your friends would not be challenged by anything reasonable the devs could throw at you. It would be quite easy to get your validation elsewhere, without it excluding many of your fellow players.

[Urbynwyldcat]

Host privileges to set up their own matches with like 'pistols only' options and stuff.

[PaulGreg]

I, personally would like to see more complex challenges, all challenges are at the moment are basically play one or 2 matches and the challenge is done. I don't see the problem with excluding people from hard challenges, if you're not good enough to do the challenge then you can't earn the reward, should you be able to get solo mastery without soloing gold or map mastery with playing gold, games always have excluded lesser skilled players from achieving harder objectives

[SectiplaveB4]

I have a few friends who have recently returned to playing ME3 MP, they have about 20 hours playtime on multiplayer each.

There is just no way they could reasonably be expected to play Gold or higher at this stage without being absolutely carried, the promo weapons are also actually decent weapons to assist them when you have such a low unlock manifest.

My impression was always that the weekend challenges were more of a reward for regular players than anything else.

[codsquallic]

I'd like a volus focused op. Opoeration Paycheck or something. 10,000 extractions for the group, and extract with an outsider in your party for singles. That would be fun.

[thepiebaker]

Months ago, before retaliation, I sent a message to Chris priestly about pitching an idea of completing extraction on gold with everyone using common class weapons. I've been a sad panda since it hasn't happened yet

[N7-RedFox]

I would like a double bounty weekend challenge. A two part challenge which gives 2 commendation packs. It makes sense because we missed a couple of weekend challenge opportunities over the holidays.

[xassantex]

just stop calling them "challenges" , call them "operations" ... problem resolved.

[Catastrophy]

Just do a challenge based on: "These kits are played rarely: Extract n times with XY race."
Consider which kits synergize well - make an incentive to play them. I miss the times of all biotic teams e.g.

[Eelectrica]

I think challenges should be accessible to all.

Does anyone want one that isn't insanely easy? How about extract on gold using only common weapons and getting at least a 25 kill medal with that weapon? Its not ahrd to make me extrac with a human infiltrator and a claymore on gold like last weekend

As long as you can make it so the average Bronze player can complete the operation, you can have any operation you want ma'am

I disagree with that, respectfully of course. I don't want this thread turning into a flame war. as i stated before and my manifest shows Back when i wasn't gold ready i didn't do a challenge for extracting on gold. I dind't care of complain becuase it was a challenge that i wasn't good enough to do and therefor shouldn't get rewarded

The problem with gamers is they want eveyrthing for nothing. Its a challenge that nets a reward. you should have to be able to complete a challenge. at this point they aren't challenges. they are minor things anyone can do and everyone gets a weapon. it shold be a challenge and reward system, not a free weapon for eveyrone system

[Locutus_of_BORG]

The challenges have been all over the place in terms of difficulty. Not all of them have been completely easy.

[Someone With Mass]

As long as I'll get those packs, I won't complain.
