not thank you, but more like "bout time"

It's like if that friend owes you 50$ ...

that friend owes you

OWES

And people wonder why the word "entitled" comes into play so often in these forums.

Enjoy!

If all you're after is Ultra Rare (Black/N7) weapons are Premium Spectre Packs or Spectre Packs more cost effective?

preimums obviously. I don't even know why you have to ask that. 

Because the increased chance of getting Ultra Rares from PSPs might not be enough of an increase to make the 39000 more credits you have to pay for one actually more cost effective that a regular Spectre Pack.

Does anyone know?

You don't understand math very well. This is funny. 

Most people report having much better luck just buying Spectres over the PSPs.  

Now read what you just said...-claps-

Nice, just spent 800k and got nothing but character cards. So when adding the 350 I spent yesterday and the 200k before that, both with nothing in terms of N7's, the % chance is less than 1% for me.

I hate PSPs/spectres.

I'm honestly starting to think the things are bugged for some of us.  If PSP's really have a ~10% drop rate for ultra rares, the chances of getting only one in 50+ of them (my experience) would be very, very low, yet many people on this board are reporting similar experiences.

Yay for permanent PSPs! Maybe I can brute force my way through the wall that the RNG has erected between me and the Batarian Sentinel before the new DLC comes out and there's a whole array of new character cards for me to wade through.

Oh no you don't understand, the guy with multiple Xs in his name is saying it's totally worth it to buy these packs. I love character cards too, so hey maybe he's right. Unsurprisingly he has not maxed out his Golds so he fails to grasp the situation.

As for the jumbo equipment packs, they are quite nice but you don't get much level III equipment in them.

This is really good news. I could care less about the PSP, but I have a fetish for medi-gel so I'll be purchasing some consumables.

Sweeeeeeeeeet!

I've bought well over 50 between the two recently and haven't gotten anything.  The percent chances aren't 5% per chance btw.  It's more like 6% and 3%.

um, how is he the one not understanding math well? 
PSPs are said to have increased chance of ultra-rares but they also cost 39000 more, so in terms of using your credits wisely, you can't say with absolute certainty which one is better.

If you found a 10 pound gold brick in your attic , you would probably complain that it was dusty.

More like 2% and 0% from my experience.

Good news about the packs

[SoulRebel_1979]

Jumbo Equipment Packs!!!!!!

[count_4]

Great, now I can spend even more credits for things I don't need to try to get the things I want. Joy!

Quick tip about statistics...
If you have a Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow ball in the bucket, you have a 25% chance of getting a yellow ball. (This is where the fun begins.)
If you remove it, then your odds of getting the other balls are raised. (You can't get the yellow ball again.)
If you add the ball back into the bucket after each draw, you keep the 25% chance of yellow the same. It is simply fate.

It makes virtually no difference how many you buy. Your odds are reset each time. It's called an Independent Event. There is no way to guarantee outcome no matter which packs you buy...or however many credits you spend. You are ~ 2x as likely to get Black Cards from the PSPs, You're paying for better odds, not a for sure thing. This price is < Spec Packs x2. So saying that buying 10 spec packs @ $ and 10 PSPs @ $ is worthless. Your chances vary. You're paying for odds, not for a black card eventually. You can buy either a hundred times and get nothing, or max out in your first 50. It's luck!

EDIT: You could account for the Black Cards you've already received, but considering how few are given it only becomes relevant as you get closer to maxing. OR DOES IT? Lol, I have no idea. 

DOUBLE EDIT: If you believe your odds increase for a perfectly random event each time it is performed, (which you would if you're trying to compare credits spent to Black Cards received,) it's called the Gambler's Fallacy.

Permanent Jumbo Equip pack is OP!

Over Powered?
Over Priced?
Orginal Poster?

[The Elite Elite]

JEP is now permanent?! Sweet! Now I can actually use consumables more often, rather than worrying about running out of medi-gel before the equipment pack comes back. Thank you very much BioWare!

[MoeRayShep]

Just when I was worried they weren't listening to us, they do something awesome like this!
Of course, common sense dictates this makes Specter Packs useless for anybody regularly playing gold:
2 Gold matches nets ~140k
2 Specter packs = 120k, 2 Rares or better, plus a handful of consumables
1 PSP + 1 JEP = 132k, 2 Rares or better, plus a boatload of consumables

Woohoo!

[bd2eazy]

thats love bioware.!

So does that mean that there won't be any more weekly packs, or is BW about to actually get a bit more creative with their weekly packs?
