I love multiplayer event activities and there has to be a thread focusing on what's occurring.
Used to look forward to the 'Weekend Event' challenge and thread.

For MEAMP, there have been hints that things will be slightly different, but once the information drops, here's a pinned thread for discussing whatever the activity of the moment turns out to be.

What do you think events/challenges will consist of?
Hopefully not long before we actually find out.

From what the devs said it seems to me like the events will be somewhat story-driven. Not necessarily tying in with SP but rather telling little independent stories around the unique MP characters.

The in-game challenges themselves probably follow the narrative regarding location, enemies and probably even wave layout (so custom games basically). That'd be my guess anyway.

Multiplayer Loyalty Missions

They've said in the past that while MP will not affect SP in any way, that you might "see them hanging around". If each kit has some sort of story MP mission, even if it's extremely crude and basic, that would perhaps entice more SP players to give MP a try.

It holds the line, or else it gets the hose again

Agreed. My favorites were events that encouraged players to help each other. I ended up losing my fear of Gold and jumping into it full-time thanks to the weekend event where you HAD to extract on Gold, and it was a group of very friendly veterans helping noobs like me at the time to get it done.

I think generally we're lucky that people here in the mp section are very friendly and helpful DR, that's what I love about playing MP and why I love hanging around this section especially so much. If you know someone already here and you agree to play at those events, it's even better and more fun, everyone is generally helpful and make you feel as you aren't such a weirdo as you sometimes feel you are (not you but me lol

).

One of the reasons I am starting in MP and SP will wait for awhile. I missed out on most of these.

They'll probably do the same as DAI and advertise MP events on the starting screen,hoping to get SP people to look into it.

DAI has taught me a great many things. One of them is not playing SP until they fix it. And they're going to need to fix it.

Since we didn't get a patch for the new map (at least on PC), I'm guessing it is staying.

Maybe saved for specific mission (APEX and maybe weekend challenges?). But I'm going to guess not.

It may have been held back because of spoilers ... so now that the game is released world-wide, it may join the regular mix, after the APEX mission expires.

I have no idea how many maps were held back in the base game ... maybe this was the only one. Data miners will probably be able to tell us ... soon^TM.

I'll admit, I'm a little confused: are 'events' now driven through the Apex app?

Have Fernando said anything?

The way I understand it (ehlien was on Thursday stream) is they may cycle extra maps for longer Apex missions with hand crafted modifiers and enemies. The normal Apex is auto generated. These crafted apex missions go with some story background - and this time they dropped the new Krogan along as well.

Soon^TM?

Since this is just a few days since the game opened to the world ... maybe getting past the first few game hiccups before doing challenges?

I think Drack's APEX mission is this weekend's "thing."

Just spitballin' here ... in case you didn't notice.

yeah it must be since its bugged and wont let me get the reward no matter how many times I finish the mission, I cant do it via strike team cos of the dc bug, and I cant set up my own game and now we don't even have the luxury of complaining direct to bioware via the forum ....

Yes, that was my favorite as well. Ans whaddya know, it was community-made.

I'm sure it's gonna be the same this time, the community will have to step up.

Looking forward to it! Sadly, I boarded the ME3 MP train a year after the last event had finished. Ain't missing any of them this time around!

You're certain there will be events, right?..
