I kinda feel like they should scrap the current system, but that seems like it would be hard to do, so I'm thinking a compromise could be made.

As it stands right now you could be playing the same class for two days and unlock nothing for said class.

The compromise is keep the random factor contained to the class your using. Meaning if I use a vanguard the unlocks will still be random but the only things I can unlock would be specific to that class.

Oh and I'm mainly talking about the armor and gender/species unlocks. I don't mind that the weapon and mods are random since all classes can use any weapon now.

Oh and if we've already unlocked a weapon then that weapon shouldn't come up again. It should be a new weapon every single time..... lol I can't tell you guys how many times I've unlocked the Mattock before I finally got something new.

I like it. Something different than everyone else in the gaming world. Just my opinion.

How about they create a shop and then give price tags for every item and players work towards them?

Even better, but I don't know if they can change so much before the game comes out.

Random unlock are a pain and the ass and are so much time consuming when you are only looking for something specific. I try to get an Assault Riffle better than the crappy Avenger for my soldier and only get crappy human character that I don't need because I'm playing a Human Soldier and useless shotgun / machine gun.

Got some pistol though but still. Playing with the pistol because the Avenger is terrible isn't my idea of fun. (I HATE full auto Assault Riffle in Mass Effect)

Eh, I agree. I like the idea of an unlock system, mainly because working my way towards becoming a bigger, badder, better squad member appeals to me on multiple levels, howver this random "card pack" esque unlock system has gotten on my nerves already,

So you can get multiple unlocks of unique items (like a new character)? That can't be good but does explain why I thought I had already unlocked the Mantis.

I agree that they should just put every item into a store so people can save up and buy what they want. I was pretty disappointed the first time I bought a veteran pack and it didn't give me anything I wanted.

From what I've seen though you get upgrade Mantis version at least. Mantis I ---> Mantis II ---> (...)

But the system is BROKEN

Never played FIFA then?

FIFA has a hugely popular game mode called Ultimate Team which works essentially in the same way as this, you purchase packs and then get a random selection of items from said packs, with rarer items more likely to come up in more expensive packs.

It's really a very good system, something that they adapted to allow you to purchase packs with real money (sounds silly right?), people actually do that and you can even find squads being sold on eBay for up to a few hundred. Of course i'm not advocating they should ever go as far as that, because Ultimate Team is far, far bigger but the actual idea of random items themselves aren't a bad thing. If anything it encourages you to keep playing until you get what you want.

I'd like it if you could trade the stuff you don't want with players who want it and have stuff you want, wouldn't it be cool?
