This Topic is now concluded, thanks to all who supported it, our cries have been answered

http://social.biowar...ndex/12776943/1







Hey guys, gonna keep this short and sweet. As many of you in the forums have noticed and complained, the current system of packs is terribly broken. I'm sure there are people out there who have spent far more, but using a personal example from the last little while of grinding I saved up 2.2 million credits and spent it all yesterday.

To the people who don't know what they're talking about, all my characters are level 20 with all appearance options unlocked. Also every-non N7 (aka Black, Ultra rare) weapon is at level 10 (X).

Out of that entire 2.2million I did not get a single N7 weapon, nothing but character training cards....This frankly is ridiculous considering the amount of time spent grinding has led to 0 rewards....

Just like we did for the ending of the game, I would like to rally players to force bioware and EA to fix this terrible system. Afterall you're making products for the fans right?

So....IF YOU AGREE THAT CHARACTER CARD APPEARANCE SHOULD BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED OR ELIMINATED WHEN YOU HAVE UPGRADED EVERYTHING FOR THEM ALREADY PLEASE SIMPLY PUT 'AGREE' IN A RESPONSE. FEEL FREE TO INCLUDE COMMENTARY/SUGGESTIONS IF YOU WISH THOUGH.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to the response from the community.:happy:

EDIT: To alleviate some of the confusion I've seen, when I say N7 I mean the ultra guns such as Saber, Black Widow, Scorpion etc, that when you receive in packs, rather than being blue. silver or gold are black with an N7 Ribbon across them.

EDIT 2:

As long as It does NOT increase the chance of unlocking the black/ultra rare weapons. I am okay with that.

Agreed with this, I'm not asking for free handouts of N7 weapons, simply that I stop getting useless garbage, as some have suggested, make it so we getting a good amount of equipment such as another+5 missiles or gels, while keeping the drop rate for N7's at whatever it is (although it  really seems after you max all rare gun that this percentage actually drops...) so ideally we should be getting a higher chance of N7 Weapons once everything else is maxed, however, the main point is stop giving us useless character cards.

EDIT 3 : Hilarious and sad... I had a friend who has been saving his credits while I was spending them all this time, saved about 3mil. He bought the new "premium spectre packs" with all of it....guess what his higher chance of rares....gave nothing but character cards! So I guess the higher chance went from 1% or less to 1.1% or less~

EDIT 4:

Totally agree with getting equipment (any kind of it) instead of maxed char cards.

Also
maybe introduce some meaningful reward for promoting characters to keep
people interested.

Or
could be a system where based on N7 rating you get for example the
ability to purchase selected wepons rather than opening them at random.
(i.e. You reach 500 N7 rating you can purchase uncommons, 1000 N7 rating
- rares, 2000 N7 rating - ultra rares, 5000+ rating, N7 equpment)

Someone give this man an internet. Brilliant idea that actually solves two problems, terrible pack contents and pointless promotions! It can be tweaked a bit, but can you imagine, actually being rewarded with things you want because you are dedicated/ played a lot/ earned it? I love this idea that you're N7 rating can influence odds of getting equipment. Awesome idea ExecutorBG, I had to put it here on the front page.

Agreed. I also made a suggestion for a new N7 pack here: http://social.biowar...5021/1#11087372

Another great suggestion, the community is really passionate about this

I agree.

I really wish you would stop getting character cards after all the appearance unlocks.

[Nurova]

I thought you get N7 items from Commendation packs, which can only be gained from weekend challenges...

[Babydel]

Ultra-rares, Black Widow, Paladin and Wraith are Spectre weapons, but when you get one it's tagged as N7.

class cards should stop though, once you have all appearance unlocks, XP is easy enough just by actually playing the game.

I've unlocked basically all appearances for the classes (Soldier and Vanguards doubled over) but I still miss Asari Adept after spending god knows how much on recruit, veteran, premium veteran and spectre.

Yes and no. N7 come in two flavors:
1)Regular - basically ultra rare items, above gold in rarity.
2)Special - they are a group of unique guns that are only attainable via the weekend event rewards(and are also part of the collector's package deal in SP). You a guaranteed one in every reward pack(victory pack, I think they are called?).

*Made an edit in the main post to avoid some of the confusion about what i meant by N7 weapons.

Looking good so far, I hope to keep this at the front page for as long as possible to really keep it in the devs and community's eyes. We can do this guys.

[M A F I A]

Definitely +1

[Billylemmon]

+1.

[luvmuscle20h]

agree

after unlocking any character option that option should not be recycled. i.e. i should never again get a character training card for the human vanguard if i have all appearance options already unlocked.

[Riot Inducer]

+1 to this.

You should stop getting character cards once appearance options are maxed for that class. An easy fix to stop drop rates from getting too skewed would be to replace chances for maxed out character cards with more equipment items. At least that way you'll always be getting something useful.

[Zack and Miranda Make a]

I completely agree.

[Micah3sixty]

Add my vote. The random generator is broken. 4-5 of my last 5 spectre packs each included the Arc Pistol. If this was flipping a 2 sided coin, I could accept that as still random, but this should be like flipping a 50 sided coin. Highly unlikely or improbable to get that many of one item in a row.

[RogenTAU]

I agree partially. If they really do it then you will start resewing respec cards instead and that is even worse waste. They should make the character cards useful even when fully maxed. for example if they revert unused XP from character cards to credits ( for example 1 credit for 5 XP).

[DNobrega]

/agree

[Gumbeaux Jr]

Signed

[Whlte Rlder]

Agree

[ClockworkSpectre]

I agree,
it is infuriating putting in the time to gather the credits for specter packs just to buy them and only get character cards you have absolutely no need for any longer.

I agree with this; after all, you don't want to make maxing spectre-class weapons easy.  They are and should remain ultra-rare.  Unfortunately, I think most people would then complain they got ripped off because they paid for a guaranteed rare and got a consumable.   However, you could add Uncommon 10 units equipment cards and Rare 20 units equipment cards.  Those numbers are just a starting point, btw.

[x-president]

Yea there should be one card that unlocks all appearances so you don't have to keep getting them.

[Highlord Heian]

Oh look, another one of these exact threads.

So you mention that other threads about this topic exist, but decided to make yet another? What a pioneer.

[wilzoon]

Agree, but What would you propose to come out instead? Bigger chance for Ultra rare weapons? That I somehow object as it defeats the purpose of it being ultra-rare (exclusive)

[R1cky Da Man 19]

agree

[oOElijahOo]

I dont know that I agree with simply reducing the character cards once you have them maxed. Id rather see Specter packs broken up into weapon and character packs. I have been trying since the release to unlock the Asari adept. At this point I have all the other classes and most of them are close to max on appearance. I also have just about every shotgun all at lv 5 or better. I have not even finished SP cause I have been obsessed with the MP.

Let me choose what my credits go toward.

Either way +1

[Painis Cupcake]

Character training cards still give experience for that class, regardless if chosen character has max appearance. The cards should not be given if both the character has max appearance unlocks and the class is already level 20.
