It's now been 6 weeks since the game released in North America. How do you guys feel about the implementation of events this time around? Are you satisfied with the special APEX missions?
Personally, every time a new APEX event (think the Krogan Behemoth one that's back again right now) goes live, The Sound of Silence starts playing in my head. To say that I am disappointed by them would be a colossal understatement. It legitimately upsets me that this appears to be the replacement.

It's not even a comparison. The current system is nearly nonexistent compared to ME3.

You could have not even played ME3 at all and would still think the Apex Missions are garbo compared to the N7 Events.

While they suck compared to the ME3 weekend challenges, they are about the only time I will play the mp. It's just so lackluster that it just doesn't have the pull that ME3 have. As such I've been putting more time into the SP.

Is it so hard to make 3 copies of the same event at all difficulties so that people don't have to stoop down to bronze to experience the joy of sleeping through the boss.

Calling these "events" is a disgrace. Literally the exact same match as anything else, with a stupid modifier attached that you may or may not even notice (taking snipers out with -50% damage makes no difference, lul). And "bonuses" that are utterly insignificant. 10% more credits and XP, woweee! And of course since they're locked to difficulty that bonus is only on Bronze. Oh my god, 11000 credits instead of 10K? Doctor, pass the smelling salts!

Obviously the ME3 version was better. However this is the least of the games problems and I hope they don't prioritise adding more of these apex missions over adding some better balance, fixing the stability of the game, or even new dlc. It's something they could look at down the track if they can rescue the game.

LOL@ME:A MP "Events" ![](http://rsmg.pbsrc.com/albums/v111/Dahbomb/GIFs/wegotrobbed.gif~c200) This sums up my opinion too, but I didn't want to poison the well by biasing the initial questions or poll. In hindsight I probably should have expanded the "I didn't play ME3 challenges" option to include "I do/do not like MEA's system", but it's too late to change that now.

Mass Effect 3 events were clearly superior in every way. During ME3 events you could get guaranteed UR drops and a banner to signify that you participated. Not only are the rewards paltry in comparison but so is the feeling of community involvement on Bioware's end. The latter issue is a direct result of BSN not maintaining an official site any longer. I don't really understand what the pull of these events are this time around. Nothing particularly outstanding occurs and you get nothing exceptional for participating. If you don't pay close attention, you wouldn't even be aware you were a part of the event.

Let's just say I've only played one APEX mission because a friend dragged me into it. What's the benefit? I actually like the APEX mission system as a daily thing, I just think their use of it for weekend events has been lame as a duck fart. APEX modifiers are cool! The "no revives" one adds a great level of stress/challenge to a game. +50 percent weapon damage makes lackluster weapons kinda fun. +Ammo/Grenade cap makes HSols hilarious to play. It's the lack of additional reward, individual goal and community goal (or something comparable) that sucks the fun and energy out of weekend events. I think they intended the "stories" to make up for that, but lets be honest, that's shit's just flavor and no one really cares because it doesn't effect the gameplay, and that's what MP is all about.

They're boring as fuck and almost non existent. There's barely any marketing for them and it all feels subpar; like it's just there. When a ME3 weekend event (WEEKEND, SPECIAL) happened, there was hype and excitement. Each weekend event felt special because it was for a limited time and had huge effects and consequences on the rest of MP such as the brute's numbers being increased, banshees invading other factions, special N7 packs. Now, we get lame ass lolbronze missions with no special packs or long lasting or affecting the game in a big way. It's like comparing ME3's PS1 Need For Speed to PS3's Gran Turismo 5; sure the newer ones looked prettier but they lacked that fun factor and innovation.

Remember when the community failed to meet the banshee kills quota and they had banshees spawn with the other factions? That was fun. Even DAIMP events were more fun (Druffalo, undead army), as much as they were solo grinds.
I like the idea behind APEX missions and I think they are fun. I don't like execution for weekend events. What separates them from the APEX missions available during the rest of the week? Where's the community goal? Even DAIMP had community goals. There's really no reason or incentive to play them.

I dont really care for them this time around. There is no real reward for actually completing them.....mission funds??????????? please, Ill send a strike team and let them handle it. If it was anything like ME3MP where we actually got rewards...RE: a pack to open upon completion....then maybe I might get interested...until then my response to these APEX missions is ![](https://media.tenor.co/images/33619f004e0c3d413b9bb9ea3bcebafc/tenor.gif)

We should have both. Events every now and then and then have apex missions to provide some variety in between. Also the Apex missions are hardly worth the bonus they give they should be increased a little bit. Also bring back the bonus for playing random map+random enemy.
