During my playthrough of the demo multiplayer, I have now managed to recieve all items in the game, and all non-rare weapons and mods all at maximum level. Now, when I went to recieve two veteran packs from the shop, I noticed that I was not recieving pointless upgrades (such as a new mantis when I've got the Mantis X). Instead, I am recieving the items I haven't/cannot get to max level (both the rare weapons and supplies and human characters).

What this means, if I haven't just seen a glitch or if the system is changed in the full game, is that in the full game, you'll never get useless upgrades (except for class "upgrades" which in all essence are just 12.5k EXP). if I'm right the way it works is that it removes the item (and its % chance of being unlocked) from the pack, meaning that the probability of recieving other items in the pack should theoretically rise. Of course, once you've unlocked all items, you'll be stuck with either equipment or class bonus EXP in each pack, which will have some use once there's nothing left to get.

So, if what's happening to me is not a bug (and the game just hates me enough to give me several class upgrades for a human class in a veteran pack in a row) then does this change the way anyone sees the pack system?

I reckoned that would be the way it works, thanks for confirming, that's good to know.

No, because it isn't improving my odds of getting what I want. If I open a Veteran pack and get a useless Common character card in the fifth slot rather than a useful Uncommon or Rare, then the pack has gotten worse than it was before I unlocked the Uncommons, not better.

Actually the character cards unlock more customization options. Maybe once you maxed those out you stop getting them too?

Actually yes, it does. Thanks for the info. =) (Assuming this is not a bug)

No... After you max out customization for a character you can still keep getting the same card. They will repeat. I hope this is not true for the full game.

meh that sucks

I believe you keep getting character exp cards even after unlocking all the appearance options and getting to level 20 because in the full game promoting them resets your characters level back to 1 and races will level separately in the full game.

As for weapon/mod cards, yea someone from Bioware confirmed they stop dropping once maxed which is nice.

What a horrible ****ing grind. Almost makes me not want to give them money.

I've played like 100 games using the avenger and still have yet to unlock a scope for assault rifles.

Need to get rid of this random roll bull**** until you at least unlock the first level of a gun. Have a certain pistol at 8, and not one single vindicator drop.

It is still a system that does not reward the players. It's all about luck.

you must be in a streak of luck, because I never had any behavior related to what you say, but thn I'm pissed as hell..
I already have a level 20 engineer.. and this thing gave me 4.. 4 FRIGGING UPGRADE PACKS IN A ROW for the engineer!!!!.

not to mention.. lately there as been a lot of not registering upgrades...
and no new items appeared but my credits sure as hell were used.

I only hope that it will stop giving you race upgrades once you've got all the customization options unlocked for him/her.

class cards keep coming even if said class is maxed. Uncommons you have already maxed get turned to commons. Maxing something does not increase the chance for a gold card, it just substitutes the silver card with a blue one.

This system was implemented so that people keep playing for something other than winning and getting high scores. Guess what, it works. And I actually love it.
