Let the rage begin.


Not rage, just a bit of sadness, especially since they teased that they might continue a couple of times.
Also a bit disappointed at the "retrospective" on the blog.  I was hoping for some in-depth analysis/commentary by the team.

Shame that they stopped the weekend challenges only after a year. ): Oh well, I'll keep playing.

And EA has claimed another victim.

I think the worst part is that dumping the promotional weapons into the UR category means that we now have an equal chance of pulling an N7 Valkyrie and a Cerberus Harrier. One of these is much better than the other and my hope of the Valkyrie getting buffed in balance changes to account for its now higher rarity seems dashed.

Agreed.

That’s a shame, the pile of URs left out there is pretty much insurmountable for me without the occasional injection of a comm. pack, so I guess my manifest is more or less done growing. Oh well, it was an excellent ride while it lasted!

It s clear, EA want to disconnect as many of MP servers as possible. That blog message, is nothing else but Goodbye. I don´t think, that it is coincidence that The Last weekend challange was exactly one year after ME3 release. As to reason why disconnect servers, the sentence "we are now turning our attention to new projects and endeavors" describes it clearly. It won´t take much guess that one of those new projects is unfortunate new Sim City 5.

Yea, we got dumped on with URs. I think I had 14 promos left to go after the last op, but everyone else who hasn't played as long or started late has a lot more to wade through. Wouldn't be a bad thing at all if we still had ops.

Hey guys - so yes the servers and challenge systems will keep running as long as we can keep them up but there will no longer be any organized weekend events.


Any chance of disorganized weekend events then?

...And so ME3 MP dies with not a bang but a whimper.

You would of thought BW would of done something grand for the last hurrah rather then slinking in and muttering "yeah...not doing them any more" before skittering away. I would expect the servers to be killed off within a month or two as well.

Seconded, I'm on the DEFIANCE  XBOX beta tonite.

Really sad, and hard to understand.  What kind of a pusher stops support after getting it's customer base hooked?!!?
Maybe its just me, but BIOWARE could sell me new stuff for this game from now ME4.

ME3MP RIP.

That's the worst part and really the only thing I'd point the finger at EA for. The next ME game will be fun, but I don't want to invest as much time in it if it's just going to be dumped and forgotten after a year. I wonder how the devs feel after putting all that work into something that'll only see a few months of uptime before being forever lost to oblivion.

I'm actually glad, that means more me4 development focus, or whatever the game is gonna be called.

Don't be disappointed guys, it had a good run, and we can still play, its not like the servers are down, and they are now preparing to fully gear up for development or they are already in the process

Come on guys, that's a bit pants.

Didn't you say you had a 20 strong dev team solely for multiplayer? Couldn't one of them have knocked up a "random weekly challenge generator" during an Innovation Sprint.

Of course, what you'd really want to then do, is install a 'super promotion' that resets all your challenges after a certain point, giving you a new series of fancy banners... That way you have people potentially buying new stuff in the multiplayer store forever...

What took you so long to give an official announcement on this? I can't imagine you didn't know this a week ago when there wasn't a weekend challenge either...


As announcements go.  This one certainly qualifies as more of a whimper than a bang.

If this is the end of any and all development, you really need to make an ultra-rare pack for those of us who still want to keep playing for several months to come.

Come on, give a little back.

Would it be possible to get a definition on "as long as we can" and maybe some hints on what factors will determine if and when the servers are shut down?

My guess is they were trying to convince their superiors to let them continue giving us Weekend Challenges, thus the delay in announcing officially that they were done. (or they were given a vague answer) But it sounds like the boys made their choice.
I was really hoping they could have had some intern pump out like 50 of them in one day then just randomly pick one out until the servers got knocked out.

Insert pained TSent scream here.

I guess I'm used to support for the old game ending when the new one is shoved down our throats one year later. That process killed Assassin's Creed for me. I'm going to miss the weekend ops. I wish I'd done more of them when they were still around.
