Oh, I see, you mean a challenge that lasts for an entire week. (Not: a challenge that appears on Day X of the week and lasts for 1 day.)

What type of challenge would be appropriate for a week-long period? What reward would we get from it?

Usually, it's simply a Daily on steroids in respect to completions and rewards. Could be something as simple as "complete 20 games" with a nice chunk of MF attached to it.

AR Targeting mod has a stability penalty attached (and has the exact same stats as AR Recon Scope), but says nothing about negative traits in the description. Is this working as intended? Also, why can't I equip this mod on the Soned?

ME3 did something kinda like that - iirc it was a weekend challenge but it actually encompassed like thurs-mon.

Kill X enemies as a community, kill Y on your own, fight as a group of only krogans/Salarians/etc. Reward was the sweet commendation and victory packs.

Those were mad popular and the cited reason for not doing them again this time around is inane.

Does anyone with BatVan at high ranks have the ability to re-color his scarf or give it a different pattern? Because I am SUPER BUMMED that I cannot do that at rank I.

Yes, I still play ME3MP. No, I don’t know why.

I'll have to double check tonight but I have him at XX with all appearance options customized and I think it's still the same.

Question: Why didn't we get a Kandros video for the Batarian Vanguard last week? I love those little videos. Should we take it as a sign of diminished support or was this just a one-off?

Here's a good one. Why should anyone play this game, when they actively discourage people with manifest bloat?

"Well, says No-bark, we got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, 'cause now they see the predicament we're in."

Based on the dot vote survey there is consensus that Pleas for Mercy (again!) and Enemy Behavior are most pressing concerns, so questions in those categories will be high on my priority list. I also might use my dictatorial powers to ask a few 'burning issues' questions around matchmaking, the Fiend swipe attack crashing the game, and the BatVan -- see the second post of this thread for the newly prioritized questions list.

Here are the dot vote results.

category	3 dots	2 dots	1 dot	weighted total
Pleas for Mercy: questions / proposals for ways to alleviate the massive uphill loot grind (already mostly asked / answered, but you can vote for this again if you want)	4	2	0	16
Enemy Behavior: dodging/evasion, enemy awareness of players, Sharpshooters, enemy speed, spawns behind the player	2	1	4	12
Supply Buffs: questions / proposals to buff First Aid, Ammo, and Revive packs to their ME3 equivalents	1	1	2	7
Lobby: Game In Progress indicator, Host Ping indicator, points shown in lobby not matching points scored in game, visibility of kick votes	0	2	2	6
Platinum Difficulty: what telemetry Bioware examines, feedback they've seen, mix of enemy types (heavily Armor now), Plat-specific objective questions, player survivability	1	0	2	5
Critical Bugs: respec bug still exists (respec < Rank X or Level 20 may not refund all skill points), extremely bright shot particles that could induce epilepsy, screen coloration with neo-weapons	0	0	4	4
Challenges: 35,000 points too much for some Daily challenges, frustration of Daily challenges expiring while player is on a mission, why not Melee challenges?	0	1	1	3
Game Mechanics: how does matchmaking work? diminishing returns on accuracy? cryo ammo weaker than other ammo why?	0	0	3	3
User Interface(ish): charging indicator bars on weapons, stronger audio cues for enemies, separate MP/SP game settings	0	0	1	1

Not trying to beat this to death, but here's a proposed modification to the BatVan question based on the earlier discussion. I think we need to demonstrate why the BatVan is so far behind. Take it or leave it. Thanks.

Would you consider adjusting the Batarian Vanguard’s passives and fitness to Offensive Biotics and Barrier respectively? These would synergize better with his niche as a biotic front-line combatant. If those changes aren't possible, please reconsider his low base shields, because he's by far the squishiest of the vanguards. 30% shield steal on kill with a charge cooldown penalty is plainly worse than 15% shield drain on melee (Asari, Human) or 100 DR with health regen (Krogan), even at the same base shields and ignoring the invincibility frames that everyone but they Batarian gets.
