Mass Effect 3 N7 Weekend for July 27th

Mass Effect 3 N7 Weekend for July 27th

Operation Overwatch

Written by osubluejacket on 25 July 12 at 22:03

Are you enjoying the newly released "Earth" DLC for Mass Effect 3?

If you answered, "Yes," I have some great news; BioWare's upcoming N7 Challenge Weekend will encourage you to use an "Earth Pack" character.

If you answered, "NO! I don't have any of those characters! This whole system is rigged!" I have some good news: if you succeed in this weekend's challenge you'll be guaranteed to earn an "Earth Pack" character.

Here are the details.

Operation


Operation Overwatch drops troops on Earth to tackle the most secure Reaper strongholds. Reaper anti-air defense will make for high-risk shuttle extractions.Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with at least one squad member using an "Earth Pack" character.

Allied Goal: Extract 800,000 individual players on any difficulty, with each live member counting toward the goal.

Squad Goal Success: All squad members awarded a Commendation Pack.

Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack that includes a new "Earth" character.

Special Circumstance: Extraction time lengthened due to failure of Operation Broadside.

Requirement: Mass Effect 3's "Earth" DLC must be installed to earn these rewards.

Operation Overwatch will start on July 27th at 10AM PDT and run through July 30th at 5AM PDT.

I love how we got an operation practically guaranteed to fail and get penalized. Oh well, depending on the extraction extension this should actually be reasonable, and the squad goal is cake.

I was wondering if we failed since I didn't see any notice later in the week when I checked in.

I like how failure has consequences. Makes you burn to get the next one down. lol
At least we're not talking millions of a type of enemy to kill this time. ;>

I dunno how many Premium Spectre Packs I've bought since Earth DLC but it's a lot.

Not one Earth Character.

Frak you EA and your Mass Effect 3 Store.

It will be interesting to see if there are enough players to achieve the weekend goals from now on. With the constant nerfing, horrible glitches, and pain of random packs the number of players is dropping off rapidly.

I read (unconfirmed) that Broadside's allied goal actually only counted *full* extractions- supposedly Bioware made that clear towards the end of Saturday, long after most people had totally stopped playing for the weekend challenge.

At least we didn't get a Platinum Extraction goal (yet). Gold difficulty is already just a painful chore of sitting out of LOS spamming Smash on enemies that can't fight back- does anyone actually have fun on Platinum? Were we ever supposed to?

As a fairly new ME3 player, quick question. Do we get Commendation Packs immediately after completing the Squad mission, or is it just on Monday if we've completed the requirements?

The only thing that entertained me enough for the multiplayer was unlocking new characters in the packs but after playing so much then buying 11 premium spectre packs recently and unlocking only two new guns was really a turn off. I will probabky wait to play again until they improve the chances or find some people who will rocket glitch on platinum for some easy credits roll
