One thing that really enhanced my enjoyment of this game was the community event. Lodestar was by far my favorite (thanks, BroJo!), but Patriot (4 of a kind nonhuman squad), Alamo (5WS on Condor) and Firestorm (3 killstreaks) were all memorable. The best part was the way the community came together to "get er done." I have great memories of being helped by friends and strangers to get my first 50 melee medal, fully extract in sub 20 min, avoid using any consumables (!) and play Platinum. It makes me a bit sad to know that many BSNers never had the experience of participating in a community event and some (due to fear, prejudice or what have you) have never even tried ME3MP.
As Andromeda will have a multiplayer component and as its forum is currently not broken down into Story vs. MP sections, it seems like now would be a good time to introduce new players to MEMP (especially since DAI won't have new DLC for a while and we're not expecting any MEA news until N7 day). While some regular posters here have started sincere threads over in the Andromeda forum, many of us have taken the opportunity to poke the bears a bit. Yes, the SP-only crowd seems dour, obsessive and ranty, but they're not likely to get the joke when we tell them the reason they don't like ME3MP is because they need to L2P. ![]()
I'm proposing a fan community event, similar to the "Play with a Spectre" weekend where we offer to show the SP crowd the ropes. Maybe they've never played MP at all and have been afraid to try, maybe they want to experience the joy that is collectors, maybe they want to cook their friends in the reactor, or nut up and try Gold or Platinum for the first time. Maybe they played MP back in the day but their friends moved on and they don't have anyone to play with. It will be a good time to refresh our friends lists, inject some more life into MP and show the SP players the true awesomeness that is the MP community.
I'm still considering details and am open to any/all suggestions. Will you help?
TL:DR: Let's go to the Andromeda forum and invite them to play MP for a weekend. Non ironically. ![]()
EDIT: Operation Outreach, AKA Operation Uh... Fire... Cobra... Claw is still happening despite lack of interest from the SP players.
When: November 1-7
No competition, no prizes, sorry.
