Well:
I hope a "Victory Chest" is better than the usual "Commendation Chest"

I like the chests challenge. I was hoping for a cooperative one (kills were competitive). I'm seeing people switch up their characters in lobbies to make sure we can get into all the rooms. It's nice to see people helping for the cause, and the class variety is nice.
The perilous challenge was a mistake on their end, if you went and looked at the challenge right when they came out, perilous was the challenge, they changed it a couple minutes later but you had to restart the game, that's why some people were seeing that.
It's still Perilous on PS4...

So Pc and Console have different Challenges
All good, I'll solo 50k perilous for PS4
Did you restart the game yet stin?
Honestly I don't know if enough good people even play PS4 to complete 50k perilous runs. It's gonna be like 50 of us doing 1000 perilous runs
Yes. It was still saying Perilous after.
Just had dinner, with a long switch off, and it's now saying 25 chests, which i've already completed <phew> as PUGs are bad at Perilous...
What "community" i m in? the [PC] one?
Only one community can vin the victory chest?
Can someone explain this to me?
Unfortunately, for two matches in a row, I've had the bug where chests won't update, as well.
Mine's stuck at 12, and I should be finished (or very nearly so.)
I'm going to stop playing, and hope that they fix the problem before the weekend is over.

I much prefer cooperative challenges like this. We had a lot of non-balanced parties going for the weapon kills and I felt a bit guilty not switching to fit a missing class just because I needed a few more mace kills or whatnot.
This is much better. I can fill in any holes in any lobbies I find.
Oh, wait, that sounded kinda dirty...

If it's anything like the ME3MP community challenges, we are ALL the community. All PC, XBox 360, PS3, PS4, and XBox One players. All of us combined need to reach the community goal, then we'll all be awarded a victory chest.
I don't believe this is community vs community or platform vs platform with just one chest available for winning. That'd be 100% new and, frankly, not really constructive to the whole "coop" mode concept.

I thought they said it was based off your platform
XBox one challenges those dirty scoundrels on the ps4 to a challenge, most chests opened this weekend! Winner gets some home baked cookies from DragonRacer. Loser gets home baked cookies from Jeremiah.

Oh, is it? I could not watch the livestream as I was at work at the time.
If that's the case, then I think I'm still partially right in that I don't think it's being platform competitive with only one victory chest available for the "winning" platform, but rather if your whole platform community hits the goal, you all get victory chests regardless of how the other platforms perform.
Right?

Mine have special ingredients in them.
Boog13 theorizes that his bug might have kicked in because of joining a game in progress.
I know that my bug was in effect for at least one full game from the lobby, but it started the game before, which may have been a game in progress. I was recording, so I'm going to scan back over the video and see whether that was the case.
Edit: In my case, the bug didn't start during a game in progress. I had one earlier in the day, but none of my previous 2 games were, and they followed a game where it was working normally, and updating as expected.
I believe each platform is working separately, but not competitivey, on the community challenge. Which is different from ME3MP but probably related to something Sony or Microsoft did with their new consoles, or maybe they just don't want to mess with networking them together again.

System feature. Working as intended.

The kinda that might make some of us appear in the next issue of Unrest In The Dales? *interest piqued*
PC master race needs to pickup the pace earlier PS4 was quite a bit ahead and at this rate the challenge will take 50 hours to complete !
Some sick part of me wanted the 50k perilous runs.
Grab the Leroy Jenkins crew and YOLO MLG SWEG it
For all we know that might be a thing since they had a bug or something and the personal challenge was 25 perilous runs at first lol

As I understand it, there is a target for each platform.
If your platform hits the target, you get the Victory chest.
That chest is not exclusive to one platform.
NOTE:
At 1.00pm PST, XB1 was at 13,000 chests so 4,300 chests p/h, assuming the rate continues (big assumption),
victory will be achieved Sunday midnight.

I may have to grab some deep fried nug and play DAMP this weekend.
Yet another disappointing cheat. Smh
