For anyone curious about the infographic from last weekend's challenge...

Huh, surprising to not see the Templar in the top 3 classes.
Well, that was a right quick Weekend Challenge. First time in a week or so that I've had a chance to sit down and play a couple of games...and the damn thing's done. So I promoted my archer, did a couple of Routine, then Threatening, runs and, viola, easy peasy.
Now I'm gonna put some time into the campaign and finish up the SP I've been sitting on for a while, methinks...
So 31% of players bother themselves to do the Weekend Challenge at all? I am not sure that is a figure Bioware should be pride about.
Though I wonder who is considered a 'player': either everyone who has bought the game or only those who have played the MP at some point.
Hmm, kinda hard to classify it as a chest of dsappointment when you get a level 18 unique, but context matters: Pulled a Perseverance bow, but already have Griffon, Punched by the Maker and Cruel redemption, so it isn't likely to see any use.
Got another Sulevin and another Slayer. Meh.

Man, you're a hard dude to please. Sure, doubles are annoying, but you can't really be too dspleased with the quality of that loot.

The problem is with the loot system in it's entirety. Where's the progression? What am I supposed to do with duplicate items? Salvage em? What do I gain by salvaging them at this point? It really wasn't thought through properly.
I don't disagree, at least in (and I hate having to make this comparison again) in ME3 getting Yet Another Eagle meant your Eagle would be less terrible. Still, a large percentage of the playerbase would probably sacrifice their favourite nug for the chest you pulled. Hell, it'd be like a recreation of the Battle of the Squaling Plains if I had a chance to sacrifice nugs for a Sulevein.

Given that it isn't really explained anywhere how to do cross class combos, I'm surprised it is that high to be honest.
I will assume this weeks event will be back up past 45+ again, as it only requires playing - not knowhow on specific mechanics.

All the rares I get are normal runes in chests nowadays. Haven't gotten a rare/unique weapon in the last 5 large chests or the commendation chest.

I would really like if unique items would be really unique or at least that items are powered up (ME3 style).
I am feeling kinda wrong when salvaging items like Punch by the Maker.

I could understand if salvaging was made worthwhile, but even that isn't.
Two t4 armors for the classes I had never played\was never going to play (necro, katari)? Nice trolling, RNGod!
(yeah, I know, I should've crafted as much of those useless outfits as possible, it's just... 2 of them from a single reward chest?)

Yet another Eagle would eventually max out the Eagle meaning "Never another Eagle again".
I salvaged my fourth Sundering this weekend and my 3rd Perseverance. Never another? Hardly.
Just give us duct tape. My 3 blades of red birth would be better combined into one ultra dagger.
Bah! Lightweight!

Ooooh, got a Dwarven Crusher from the victory chest. Not my best one handed weapon (hello Song of the Marshes), but I do so love weapons that make enemies explode. Also, my previous best mace was a white Firm Templar mace. This should make eventually doing the mace challenge a lot more fun.
Got a Fury of the Veil, and realized that I had used my last superb spirit rune on that mindchill staff, which I wasn't using anyhow since I already had a Sorcerers staff...
Ah well, no fault of Bioware's.
Got crap, as per usual.
Emperor Guard blade, sorcerers staff, bane of red crossing (Collectable I have better bows) + 2 salvages.
Not a bad haul really I think. Esp Sorcerers staff looks nice.
Got Perseverance. Feels like my 9th or 10th one, honestly, and not better than my LBotG, so into the salvage pile it goes.
3 common, 2 under level 10 blues. Considering this has been my standard haul I don't know why I expected anything different
