"Five items and a special N7 weapon" huh? Sounds like commendation pack to me.

[Boopitty]

Just please release a Rebellion PSP next week. I blew one million and only got the Phoenix Adept, so I'm just saving my money. If nothing comes by Tuesday, I'll probably go on another shopping spree, the results of which will most likely be disappointing.

If you note the terminology used by Bioware in describing the content of Reinforcement Packs, note that they always call the black cards "Ultra-Rare", and not "N7". That the leaked screenshot describes it as "a special N7 weapon" and not an "Ultra-Rare" kinda points to the implication that the N7 Pack will net you the N7 Arsenal weapons normally available from Commendation Packs, aka the Hurricane, Valiant, Crusader and Eagle.

If true, then hell yes I'd love to have an N7 Pack, so I can get the N7 Arsenal weapons without having to participate in at least 40 weekly Operations to max them out. They could make said N7 Packs weekly exclusives so that they don't saturate the store much.

Failing that, I would at least hope for the Jumbo Spectre Packs to be available soon for faster Rare farming.

Ultra rare and N7 are interchangable terms.  Go look at a manifest.  There are little N7's on all the ultra rare cards.  I seriously doubt that the N7 pack was going to be nothing more than a purchasable commendation pack.

The manifest proves his point, actually. The ultra rare guns are classified as "ultra rare" on the manifest, not N7 or promotional, which are the N7 guns etc.

Look at the cards.  Actually look at them.  All black cards have N7 on them, therefore all ultra rares are N7's as well.  It's pretty simple people.  I mean you might have a point if they listed the Collector's Edition guns as N7 and not promotional, but they don't so you don't.

Would the Rebellion pack offer a better chance of getting the Cerberus AR than PSP?

[Rildok]

I want there to be an N7 pack that gave ultra rares. Coming from one who has all rares maxed, I'd like to be able to have a 100% chance of getting an ultra rare. Sure I don't have the quarian male engineer, but I'll get that in due time. But I want to be able to get my ultra rares maxed, or even have all of them to be able to try all of them out. I missed getting the talon and the saber in SP, so I have yet to even use the talon for the first time. And from what I've seen, the CH looks pretty good. So for me, I really want that N7 pack.

They should just make the N7 pack available at a certain rank. Make the N7 rank actually worth something.

I'd certainly bust out of my shell and start promoting if you needed to be a certain N7 rank to get one.

The "N7" icons on the Ultra Rare cards are present yes and has been the cause of much confusion for a while now, but in reinforcement pack terminology Bioware never uses the words "Ultra-Rare" and "N7" interchangeably when referring to specific guns. When referring to the Commendation Pack rewards, they never use the term "Ultra Rare" to refer to the N7 arsenal weapons, while for Spectre and Jumbo Spectre Packs they use the term "Ultra Rare" for their content. That is because the N7 Arsenal weapons are completely distinct weapons ingame, being the only weapons with the N7 logo emblazoned on their design. As marshalleck mentions, the manifest also makes the distinction between the two by separating the N7 Arsenal weapons from the usual Ultra-Rare group. 

If the "N7 Pack" truly gave us Ultra-Rare guns, then the pack description would say "with at least 1 Ultra-Rare" like they do with the Recruit, Veteran, Spectre and Jumbo Spectre Packs, and not "a special N7 weapon".

Costa... You ruined our hope.

[Pee Jae]

Well, if they're still reading, and there is reason to hope, and we can make our voices heard, I'll take one of all those packs. Well... give me some time to farm credits, then I'll take one of each.

[Rildok]

Hopefully they add the particle rifle and the N7 pack, if it gives ultra rares and not promotionals, because I think the PR would be an ultra rare if added. And if so, then I'll be wanting that pack even more, cause I loved the PR in SP.

[UKillMeLongTime]

in another month? too late

[UKillMeLongTime]

Gear packs sound more appealing and ultra rare guns. Got every character already so there need to be several things for those at diff levels.

[Rildok]

Yes, gear packs would be much appreciated too.

[rollblows]

holy **** is this true

[Westy1422]

YEEEESSSS. This is what the multiplayer needs.

Balanced gameplay? Huh? The same "This gun is better in every respect, so player who has it wins." kind of balanced gameplay? Or the new "Take a Krysae/Reegar and wipe the floor with everything" type of balanced gameplay?

The reason the PR isn't in multiplayer to begin with is the diffuculty te servers would have tracking the damage from the weapon.  I mean, imagine four people aremed with PRs attacking different targets.  Not only would the server be making sure all the players did damage to the targets, it would also have to manage when the PR's extra damage would kick-in, all the while ensuringall players remain connected and all damage is synced to all the player's consoles.  The piece-of-crap servers we have now can barely work as they are, not with PRs.  

I rest my case.

When we sell/release Reinforcement Packs through Sony, we are required to submit them for certification testing at least 3 weeks prior to the date a pack would be sold. That being said, before launch (notice the dates on these images) we submitted a large batch of possible Reinforcement Packs to Sony. After launch we could then choose which ones would be actually available. They had different prices so that we could determine a fair price based on the actual content included when a pack went live. This also gave us flexibility to release new Reinforcement Packs on a weekly basis as we did with the Premium Spectre, Jumbo Equipment, etc.

These Reinforcement Packs were accidentally made public for a short period of time. Sony has taken them down as they were not meant to go public. When we go live with a new Reinforcement Pack it always is available through the in-game multiplayer store and it is always available for purchase using credits or currency.

Some of the packs from this list will never go live, as they may not support balanced gameplay, but other packs from the list could eventually be released. We will continue to listen to the feedback from our community about the types of packs you would like to see in the future. We appreciate your support and rest assured we are working hard every day to support a fun and ongoing multiplayer experience.

Good to know, thanks. I do think a pack only contains weapon will be great, since we are getting too many character cards.:happy:

Wow you are making some logical leaps of epic porpotion there.  Ultra rares are N7's.  This is well established.  Just because they've used certain terminology in the past with certain packs does not mean they will maintain that consistently.  In fact it's already been established that these packs were actually designed a while ago, so who knows how their chosen terminology might have evolved?  Actually assuming it's the Collector's edition guns is a massive stretch, and makes absolutely no sense.  Those are special rewards for participating in events, and there are only four of them.  Both those facts make your position seem far less likely than the possibility that the N7 pack would contain regular N7 ultra rares (the full term for the group of weapons we are talking about).

if this is true we can actually start enjoying ourselves instead of gunning for the high score , raging for credits and seeking exp

lol listen to the community? Then why have the packs with gaurenteed ultra-rares costing 500k credits been ignored?

Well, I'd imagine it's because even though said packs would help people out, there would be many people that would be complaining about how A) it isn't fair that the noobs can get the best guns, I can't get the guns cause I can't play on gold so I'll never have that many credits.  or C) If everyone has the best guns the game will get boring.  


Just a guess, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was fairly spot on.  

[Koenig888]

I doubt Bioware will sell packs with N7 weapons (Valiant etc). This will dampen the interest in the fortnightly events.

A and B are nothing but the complaints of spolied children who would rather break a toy than see anyone else play with it.  If Bioware is basing their decisions off of a fear of these types of people getting upset, we are all screwed.

C is only relevant if an N7 pack isn't priced very high, and if we ever see it I'm sure it will not be even remotely close to cheap.  At the price of 1 million credits per pack it would cost 90 million credits to max out all the current ultra rares.  With a 100% success rate averaging 20 minutes per match (something only hardcore farmers could ever achieve), it would take roughly 400 hours of gameplay to actually max out all the ultra rare weapons.  So yeah, I'm not seeing an issue there.
