Ive seen a few threads about people saving credits for resurgence. And i mean alot of credits. Are the reinforcement packs going to be really expensive or are people just saving so they can buy alot of them? I would like to know so i can start saving because i think im only sitting on like 50,000 credits or something like that.

The speculation is that "Reinforcement Packs" = Spectre Packs

I see them being just as pricey as Veteran packs, if not more. You can't forget that they're making income on people buying packs with points. Even though the DLC is free, they still can make some profit off of it.

I thought that the new characters/guns would just be put in to the normal packs, and I wanna get one. at 490,000 credits now, so hopefully I'll grab a new character from the specter packs on Tuesday.

I'm still confused on if we are going to have to buy special packs or if there is just going to be a space magic one pack to unlock all the stuff once, and then those items will be filtered in the other packs for higher levels on the weapons and the armor customs on characters.

I'm guessing we'll get one freebie pack as a teaser for the new stuff and have to get the rest in regular packs.

Not really.
The knowledge is that "Reinforcement Packs" = a name for all kinds of packs.
Just google it if you don't take my word for it.
It has been used since the Demo.

So no speculation needed, the informaton is out there and has been for over a month.

EDIT: And on topic, I am saving up a lot of money so I can buy packs and unlock all characters and weapons ASAP.
As it will unlock the same way our current characters and current weapons did, and does, I want to be able to buy as many packs as possible when it is time!

Reinforcement Packs do mean any form of pack, though if we are to be believing the leaked picture which was right about the classes in the first place, they're all gold cards which means Spectre is our best shot at them.

Either way I'm spending these credits on Spectre Packs. The difference is spending them now for roughly 20% more gold cards, or spending them on Tuesday for new characters and weapons.

Of course, and I will do the same. :)

I am still missing the elusive Black Widow as well...

New weapons and characters available -> Less chance to have credits wasted on duplicate character cards

I'm hoping there will be one "free" pack like a starter pack guaranteed to have a new card, and the rest will have to be unlocked the old fashioned way (the Smith, Barney way). That's why I'm saving credits

It's not speculation, it is fact. The new items will be gold in rarity.

Personally I'm expecting next week's store special to be the Resurgence Pack which costs either 33k or 60k, and contains at least 1 of the new DLC characters or weapons.

Either way I'll by ready with a ton of credits to throw at whatever I have to do to my new unlocks.

50k credits won't buy you a Spectre pack. Stockpiling my credits (currently at 1.2 million) ensures that I get at least one of the characters. Given my luck I'll get 31 Salarian Infiltrators before seeing a Geth card, but at least I've got credits to keep buying packs.

Reinforcement packs are just a general term for Recruit/Vet/Spectre packs, so you can probably count on them being added to the packs we have now. And yes, they are confirmed to be gold, so Spectre's your best bet.

I've also heard some talk about there being a new pack that contains Resurgence stuff only, but it can only be bought with IRL money. Nothing is confirmed yet though.

That's the worst business model ever. Having to bend to angry fans once again is not on BioWare's to-do list these days, I assure you.

Reason to not save:
N7 weapons - difficult to get (another increased chance might not come along for a while)
You'll get the new weapons and characters eventually (they're only rares and not a limited time offer)

Reason to save:
Get new characters and weapons early (if that's important to you)...that's it.

I'm hoping they might have a free, one-time only, 'Resurgence Starter Pack' that contains 1 random new character, 2 random new consumable item and 1 random new gun.

I guess they do that in order to unlock new classes as fast as possible

And I thought it was bad enough with vanguards zipping across the map to steal the kill of the banshee i solo-knocked down to 1 health bar as well as the stupid krogans standing in my sights and eating my bullets like he was a hungry hippo....now I get to deal with a hybrid of that?  I think I'm going to go with that trend of kicking people....

In no way is that a "worst business model ever" it's actually a very intelligent idea. Don't want to spend money? You don't have to. Stop whining and go earn it. Want to spend money? K have fun.
