    Played a silver match with Athracht earlier, had forgotten how damn easy it could be, at least compared to gold.

    About to jump online for a few more games right now.

    I got it done in a single Cerberus Gold match.

    Of course, I was rocking my Turian Sentinel with full damage specced Overload, no Tech Armor and 200% recharge speed with a Hurricane VII and Disruptor Ammo 3. Not bragging, just... trying to be specific.

    Halfway through a single Geth Silver solo.

    I did the personal goal with a geth engini vs geth gold in a single match. All but the standard geth trooper have shields.

    There were 3 turians in the match with me, and 2 bats and a turian in my silver afterwards (I got a volus adept card, tried and did not like)

    Me and my brother both nailed it in one 4-man Geth Gold.

    This is not a difficult challenge

    Yep.

    it doesn't take all that long; I'm like halfway through husks 2 and I haven't tried for it terribly aggressively since challenges came out.

    with the number of reaper lobbies I queue into these days, it's easy to make progress on it

    Yeah. I was just kidding.

    But I would say that I'm close to mastery of most of the faction based challenges. Just have one enemy type for all of them. I would probably already have on maxed out if I didn't go to random all the time.

    I like how I'm as good as done with the Geth/Collector challenges without ever trying, yet I still don't have Husks 2/Guardians 2.

    Because I didn't see one and not sure how many people know about the extractions part since only the shield part is listed in the challenges.

    Yeah it showed up for me. I actually screenshotted it because it looks like Aria on the splash screen for it.

    Didn't it take over a year for Arrival to be out? Another 6-8 months sounds about right to me.

    14 months (give or take). We're getting another DLC after Omega, and probably another after that.

    Of course I do, I'm just wondering if any of the current DLC has gone on sale for BF/CB.

    man the soundtracks for all the me games are just immense

    i mean for instance its a shame that this one is hidden behind the worst ending because that is just straight classic - probably more like the me1 style than any other piece from me3

    I'm not sorry


    I ended up playing a couple of games last night with a very competent squad of people. Don't know who they were, just some randoms in a public lobby. They made it very hard for me to kill things, everything was dead by the time I'd get near anything to kill.

    We were playing on Firebase Dagger Hazard, and the sandstorm really affected my ability to target large groups with inferno grenades. Having to get really close to see enemies does limit their usefulness somewhat.

    I too was having some good games with other pubbies yesterday. Now, I am not the best fighter or best equipped but I was finding myself never above 3rd place yesterday. And those in 1 and 2 were much higher scored and were just killing mans with abandon. Getting carried is really helping my inventory situation though. And got the Eagle I from my pack yesterday so thats nice.

    Is there not a way to check the progress of the community challenge?

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    Indeed there is not.

    Last time we had one they updated us sometime on Saturday, I think.

    This should be a really easy one, though. People playing all kinds of turians last night, I've been batarianing it up

    Even with a seriously shrunken playerbase we should manage 50k extractions fairly easily

    dN0T6ur.png
  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    Is it per character? So if a game has all 4 players participating, would that count as 1 or as 4?

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    I think as 4. Wouldn't make a lot of sense if 3 salarians and 1 batarian counted for the same as 4 batarians.

    dN0T6ur.png
  • HandfalconHandfalcon Registered User regular
    Been seeing all kind of Turians. Most of my games last night included 3ish of them with the odd Vorcha and Batarian.

    so following this thread as i do http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/12486978/116 (spoilers beware) judging from tweets and such there seems to be at least 3 sp dlcs in the works after omega, and the next one is pretty huge and has 8 writers working on it. 8. all the usual suspects too. edit: stratch that, its all writers. not sure how many that is

    probably for squad banter.

    Three? Good lord. I'm going to end up buying this game twice over by the time it's done. Mine eyes look to the heavens for a funbucks sale.

    That was an easy challenge, got it done in one match.

    Although I did play with a Turian Havoc to help the group goal, and it was just not the character for me. Cryo Blast never seemed to track, and the havoc strike, when fighting geth, does jack all but make me dead, Hunters ate my lunch throughout the match, and I just couldn't get used to how far you jump yet still being an open target for magic Primes and Geth Bombers who love to stun.

  • OrcaOrca Also known as Espressosaurus WrexRegistered User regular
    Consider the Havoc a Vanguard that has user-activated shields and no immunity frames.

  • curly haired boycurly haired boy Your Friendly Neighborhood Torgue Dealer Registered User regular
    havoc does have immunity frames

    very abusable immunity frames

    the liftoff before the havoc strike, for instance
