Don't forget the Salarian Engineer that doesn't use Decoy!

Next event is eeeeasy, batarian and krogan are probably my favourite characters to play.

Operation: Savage (June 22-24)

With so many planets conquered in Council space, we are relying on material support from the Terminus Systems. Eliminating risks to our supply line is a top priority.

Allied Goal: Eliminate 7,000,000 trooper-level enemies: Cerberus Assault Trooper, Husks, Cannibals, Geth Troopers
Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with the squad using a mix of krogan, vorcha, or batarian classes
Special Circumstance: None

Squad Goal Success: Squad awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

Operation Savage begins at 6pm PST Friday June 22 and ends at 4am PST Monday June 25.
Packs will be distributed Tuesday evening if the mission is successful.

The wording is terrible. Need all 3 krogan/vorcha/batarian in the party, or need one of them in the party, or need a full party of one of those races?

I'm leaning towards the former, but "or" fucks the whole sentence up.

**Charismatic** · 2012-06-20 13:19

I'm thinking you just need a group that consists solely of any of those races.

Like, 4 Krogans, 2 Krogans with 2 Vorcha, 2 Krogans with 1 Vorcha and 1 Batarian... all would be good. That's the way I interpret it anyway. I could be way off base here and I do hope we get more clarification.

**Pendulum** · 2012-06-20 13:26

I'm understanding it as a group composed solely of krogan/batarian/vorcha. Kind of ties in with the mention of Terminus Systems near the start seeing as those races are common in that region.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-06-20 13:28

I think you may be right. They should change it to "the full squad using" just so make it clear.

**Ikarys** · 2012-06-20 13:38

sounds deceptively easy, Brogan -200% cooldown melee squad on Bronze assemble

**Brill Weave** · 2012-06-20 13:45

lol I'm in!

Bioware posted this -

" To be clear, the player group can only be comprised of krogans, vorcha or batarians. If there are humans, geth or quarians in the group, it will NOT count.

You can have an all vorcha squad or a mix of krogans and batarians or all 3 races, just ONLY those 3 races."

So has to be a mix of any kind of those 3 specific races. 4 Kroguards would be fun to try in gold. Either way sounds like a fun idea for challenge. No confirmation about victory packs containing n7 weapons again so I'm guessing not.

Shock Drone didn't really need a buff but hoooly shit this is awesome! Rockets might finally be worth specing on turret, the drone is retarded with rockets so that probably isn't worth it. Also the Arc pistol is pretty awesome now, especially at X.

Aren't those damage ratings at fully charged though?

The interview was pretty lulzworthy, people didn't want more closure, they wanted the choice they made in the past to actually matter. They just completely ignore that.

This. lol. That interview felt so forced and clunky too. It sounded like a carefully crafted PR statement. Either way even with the shitty ending i'd still like to figure out what the fuck was going on after you fired the laser. There were so many jump cuts and dialogue missing it's a bit hard to make heads or tails out of it all.

**Hellfury** · 2012-06-22 15:10

ngh, I kinda want to see the new ending, but not sure I can be arsed to raise my galactic readiness and who knows how much over again. Think I'll wait and see what people come up with, if I can just reload a save at the end np, I think I'll just do that.

Just download the expansion and disconnect from XBL before you start the game. Your readiness level shouldn't change from where it was if it can't check in on the EA servers.

If he hasn't been playing, it'll have dropped already.

This is the problem, I used to log in for the bi-weekly events until my interest dropped too low, but I only did one match each time (or a few more if necessary) to get the two packs, last time I logged in a few weeks ago, I was barely above 50 :/ I kept thinking "ah, when they release added ending, I will take care of it. but now that they did, after all the crap (on the bright side, I no longer read IGN at work!) they pulled, I'm having motivational issues. on the other hand, if this is the bust that I expect, I won't have any problems convincing myself to stay away from future bioware/ea games, so win-win I guess.
