The chest is no big deal really, it's something fun to do at the weekend.

Why do people watch sport and get excited? Same sort of thing.

 

PS is scoring about 20% more on both generations vs. Xbox/PC.

 

Had some fun this weekend helping people not go down 

If I said "Why play a computer game?", then I would understand your point. I think you would acheive more in the game during the time you spent on the challenge if you didnt focus on the challenge. In the end all you'll get is a 1200 chest so why bother, which is my argument. If you are playing for a certain acheivement you are also limiting your available characters and skills you can use. If you need these "to easy to be a challenge"-challenges to have fun, then are you really having fun in the first place?

Anyway, its not my place to argue - people do whatever they want. I just dont understand why people make a fuzz about what is essentially a timewasting 1200 chest.

 

Because it's a goal. BioWare waved a flag in my face saying "bet you can't do this" so I wanted to do it. Then again, I am an Aries, so it really doesn't matter if the prize is a large chest, a piece of candy, or absolutely nothing other than the internal satisfaction of knocking a goal out of the ballpark.

 

Also, it's helping me branch out on characters and playstyles. I'm typically a sword-n-board tank warrior at heart, but the past two weekend challenges have seen me trying Keeper for the first time to keep people alive with Barrier... had not played her before then... and, wow, hey, I kinda like it! Something new, not my usual speed, but have found myself enjoying it.

 

I'm sure I'd have played Keeper eventually, but the weekend challenges sped up that process. The ME3MP weekend challenges did the same thing with me, opened me up more to different characters/weapons/playstyles/difficulty levels.

Bioware waved a flag in everyone's face to get them to play more and eventually perhaps spend more money. What do you mean by Aries? The challenge isnt really a challenge either, so you dont really feel like you are being challenged. Besides, a single guy working on the challenges for the community will have very little impact as the completion number is such a high number.

When it comes to playing different characters then fair enough. I'd say though that this particular challenge is more limiting than it is expanding peoples playstiles. I can't really relate to that statement either, as I have at all times played and had fun with all the characters, all the way from the beginning.

Bottom line is again, people do whatever they want. I still dont see the point in stressing, or complaining about the challenges. The reward has been terrible (or atleast arguably a waste of time) all along but atleast with the weapon challenges they were a bit quicker to acheive, which ment that you get a quicker 1200 chest. Now it takes a lot more time. Especially silly if the free chest is why you do it.

Anyway, spent to much time on this. Moving along.

Over 119k ... next week I finish the personal challenge and go back to Titanfall.

So you go back to Titanfall because the community couldnt finish the community challenge? Are you sure there's not another reason alltogether though, because that dont make sense to me...

Rofl, says we won, YET it won't give me the box.....total POS!

[Torkelight]

I had a good time with it.  It was fun getting some newer people through routine.  When I first started I got really disheartened at the difficulty/paywall level of being a brand new player (the RNG is so bad at first, you guys), but some more experienced dude helped me through.  I like to think I'm paying it forward now, keeping a bunch of level 1 archers and legionnaires constantly barriered.

I would argue that helping people in this game is not doing them any favors. You need to know from the start that this game is unforgiving and has RNG that you should not expect anything from at any time. That way, people wont complain after playing for two days, because they cant kill the DC and havent gotten a Caliban in their first 20 chests.

Oh hell, a lot of people will - no matter what you do.

Just dont expect anything plz. Just buy a 1200 chest and move along. Its exactly the same ****.

It's an astrological thing, which I largely just like for kicks and giggles rather than to take seriously. By "Aries", I mean I was born under the sun sign of Aries and they are traditionally considered rather competitive by nature; ergo, it does not matter if the reward is garbage, if a goal is set for me to do my best to try and help the community as a whole achieve it, then I'll be devoting time to doing such because I literally can't help myself (I also find it fun, honestly).

 

You are right that a single person working on the challenge is a drop in the bucket... but many people working towards the same goal is not.

 

I don't have as much time to game as some and when I do, I do like to play SP as well as DAMP and that means splitting my little gaming time up between two modes, so I like the weekend challenges because it gets me motivated to play more DAMP and try to hit the personal goal/help with the community goal. An extra incentive to pop into MP, if you will, besides just the fun of playing it.

 

I don't really understand people getting bunged up or complaining about the challenges either, but I also don't understand just poo-pooing them when clearly some folks actually do find some sort of personal enjoyment from them, regardless of "the priiiiiiize". *shrugs*

Out of curiosity did anyone get the XBOX 360 total just before the end?

 

Last night (~ 22:00 Eastern time Sunday) it was ~ 22,000 but I forgot to check this morning.

[Beerfish]

The game was rigged in favour of those scummy sony users!  No chance they could have beaten us glorious xbox users without a helping hand.  Sureeeee....go and enjoy your fancy victory chests and your frost resist potions and low level gear, see if I care. 

[Kinom001]

Kinom, the Asari Huntress was pretty good at soloing, if I remember right, I got the gold solo acheivements with a hit and run character, just can't remember which one.

Oh, no doubt. The Huntress was one of my favorite kits in the game. Another powerful as hell class for soloing Gold was the N7 Paladin, particularly if you were soloing Geth. However, once I got my Gold solo's done I never did 'em again. I didn't like soloing. It's not fun game play to me.

 

The same applies for me in DAMP. I just don't like soloing a game. I have the campaign for that.

Sure, Titanfall MP is more fun (then again it better as there is nothing else in Titanfall).

I did try to help with the goal playing mostly Routine, but it feels pointless and the number of connection errors leaves bad taste when the goal is not reached. May stick around for a match or two to help new players to reach individual goals (based on what are going to be individual goals, that is).

It was more fun soloing on ME3MP

 

Also, PS4 master console race

[Kinom001]

Good try? What a joke. The number was clearly set too high. Nothing good to see in this. All the people who actually worked towards this goal get shafted by the stupid way things are handled in DAMP.

I don't think the number was too high, I believe that not many people were interested in it once they got their personal chest. If the overall attitude is, "Well, I soloed six matches so I'm done" then the community goal is going to fail.

[RustyBuckets02]

If xbone fail to get this challenge done then i'm personally blaming, Heroic, Tigger and B00g13...Scrubs the lot of them

Can we blame them for the 360's failure as well?

I don't know why I'm asking. I'm going to do so anyway.

[HeroicMass]

There is only one person to blame for the loss and it isn't one of those three.  The stairs will not save you

 

[GrundyzMoshPit]

I blame the people going in loot rooms and dying. This happened many times on routine and threatening. Don't open those doors unless you can handle what is on the other side. Especially when you joined a group that was clearly not doing doing doors.

hey now I got a longbow of the griffon in my personal chest, so maybe this is real and not just luck on my part!

[Shinigami Ren]

When do we get the victory chests for this event?

There there beerfish, I'll let you know what I got in it later.

 

Lol tho, first time DAMPin it this weekend and our community succeeds, I like to think I helped a lil bit, hanging around routine like a baws.

[Pee Jae]

The master race failed. I am disappoint. 

 

Not really. Good try, guys. 

[Jpudify]

Got a unique HoK ring, a superb fire rune, and a decent staff, which I quickly got rid of because I have Fury of the Veil already and that's all I need for my necro.

 

Rng doesn't seem to be much of a factor in this considering my experience isn't a single one.

[Beerfish]

I bow down to the superiority of the Sony users.  (And when I say bow down I mean yanking my pants down and mooning all of you.)

Clearly, this explains the edge we had this weekend.
