So I haven't unlocked all the new characters with Earth DLC, but I'm already getting Rank 4 ammo in my packs...

From my understanding, it's not supposed to work this way, and I guess this is a bug?

No that is incorrect, it is still possible to get the Rank 4 ammo packs without having everything unlocked.

^^^And this is why the current system sucks so much.^^^

New stuff gets released and then instead of that you get a one time consumable? It was exciting to hear that they were changing the RNG system until you read the fine print and realized they were replacing one marginally useful card (experience for an already unlocked character) for another (one time ammo).

gears still not right correct ?

Personally, after completing a couple of gold runs and buying a premium spectre just to get an ammo IV is a bit irritating. I'd like to see an N7 weapon pack (One that doesnt give ammo or equipment at (IV)) and hell charge a half million credits for it, I'd stick to playing this regularly for that kind of incentive.

[UKillMeLongTime]

But some uncommons are not popping much less the new rare shown at comic con and in the manifest..is it being addressed soon as i'm not spending $$ on psps/spectre packs until i hear something official

but it's 100% not right currently

I'm still getting useless crap, guns i NEVER use, characters i have maxed out, i don't even care about the new classes, because i'm never going to get any of them, hell, i don't even have a krogan, vorcha, batarian, geth, male quarians, ex cerberus or any the other 3. I have exactly one rare character. A drell vanguard. Which sucks.
Change it so you don't constantly get characters you already have maxed out on everything, customization and level, there is no need, its just padding so people will buy more, which is just greedy. Not cool guys.

I personally don't like it, I'd rather get character, equipment, and weapon cards I don't already have. If you actually stop to think about it, it's a screw over because the ammo card only exist for one mission. I have yet to get the majority of the new characters, the harrier (other weapons) and a bunch of other things, especially the equipment cards. I've already gotten 2 or 3 of these ammo cards and consider them a waste of credits.

Now THAT I didn't know... I was under the impression that Rank 4 ammo packs only drop if you were supposed to get an item that you've already maxed. Not pleasing to hear, but any official information from the devs about how the packs work is always good, because it gives us more data to work with.

With the release of the Earth DLC, it's time to restart my statistical record of my drops too. Once I have a decent sample size, I'll post back here again about what my drops were like.

In my opinion it's still better than the old method. Previously, you would instead get a random character card, regardless of whether said character was already maxed out. This made trying to max out appearances for specific characters an exercise in frustration, not to mention that these extra cards were absolutely useless for people who do not promote their characters. Level IV Ammo at least serves SOME purpose, in that they can help give you an edge in tougher difficulty settings. (Trust me, from experience? Using Level III/IV equipment can work wonders for making Gold matches easier.)

I agree, I would rather get the ammo cards AFTER I've unlocked everything else, Ive lost count of how many PSP's have been wasted due to both gold cards being Ammo.

i have been playing and buying your packs since day 1 and i only just got the paladin pistol yesterday (the gun i have been trying to get from the very beginning) please let us buy the n7 guns our selves from a separate pack

[ElementL09]

I've been getting common characters in my PSP's. I think somethings wrong.

[Aoibheann]

The store is also flawed in the it will give you the same weapon card 8 times in a row aka the piranha and the acolyte 4 times in a row. There's still a lot I don't have ( mostly gear and weapons) from the previous mp dlcs. I'm pretty sure too that at least once since the earth dlc I've gotten an already maxed out character too.

And the store is still bugged to where it will loose connect after taking your credits/points without giving you the cards.

Yes. This. Of the last 29 PSPs I have purchased 16 of them have dropped a common character card that I have already maxed out long since. And because they are common, the XP boost is tiny. I'd rather be unlocking some new weapon mods or gear or at least getting one shot equipment.

[nasteerus]

the guns of lately have been popping out more often, but why can't we just have a weapon box, a character and items box, and some random, cheap box that could be whatever.

And even better incentive, make the box cheaper for higher N7 levels to reward people who do play enough and promote their characters. Make your N7 have meaning.

So true. The only thing I unlocked so far for the last DLC is the quarian male infiltrator. Otherwise I keep getting vanilla items and other shenanigans.

[Blkpanthr67]

Do you people read?

Only GOLD character cards have been replaced with ammo. Nothing else has changed.

You still get common/uncommon charactar cards so you can promote if you want. They bumped up the exp to compensate for not getting gold cards once the are maxed.

I know it's a little late, but quite frankly...

This is silly. Between the new Gear, the ridiculousness of yet another Ultra Rare Assault Rifle, and the IV ammo...
It makes things a smidge frustrating to unlock.

So how about bumping the Harrier OR Typhoon down to a Rare quality item, rather than cluttering up the Ultra Rares and keeping decent ARs out of the main population?

[DarthSliver]

I really think since they have a Jumbo Pack they need to add a pack that only gives Weapons/Character cards. Than with the 130k from beating all the credit rounds on Platinum they need a Spectre Pack that thats better than PSP and forces you to play 2 rounds of Platinum just to get enough like you do with Gold if you wanna PSP. I just think if there was a pack to compensate for the Platinum credit drop rate people would give it a try more, waited an hour just to get 2 randoms to join me and my friends game on Platinum

Yuck.

There's no reason that I should be rewarded with cheaper prices for pressing "X" on my controller and then releveling.
Especially considering that the majority of the "hardcore promoters" I've encountered are just people who want that number to be higher than everyone else and rage that "Soandso got a higher N7 rating than me, but he's garbage!".

If you want "N7 to have meaning" in an actual, non-potentially gameruining way...

For every 120 N7 points you receive from promoting all six classes and for every ten successful Full Extractions while you relevel that character, you get a "flag" put on your account allowing you a "Specialist Pack" which will allow you to alter one piece of armor on one specific character.

The armor piece changes can either be simply cosmetic or can give some minor bonus which would otherwise be relegated to a piece of Gear.
Making it so the armor piece changes could be "saved" and allow you to toy with different armor piece bonuses/looks for that character would be a huge incentive for promotions to the people who don't really do promotions right now and just instead keep their characters at 20 and play the higher difficulties.

all I want is to stop getting duplicate character cards.

[Blkpanthr67]

if you can show me a screen print of a gold character card AFTER youve maxed them all, ill eat my shoe.

[nicethugbert]

It's a casino.

[katness]

I'm getting really frustrated unlocking characters and weapons I already unlocked. I've played way to much and unlocked enough PSPs with nothing of value. Now MP is bothering me....

[Copester1204]

Here's one more complaint about how the store works - upgrading Promotional items. They must be considered Super-Mega-Ultra Rare because I've been playing with a couple of pre-order bonus weapons since day one and some of them are still level 1. A couple are level 2 and i think those upgrades came from Victory/Commendation Packs.

[Chimera1]

Saved up over a million credits for the DLC and only got 1 of the new characters. I'm still missing 12 gear equipments and 4 N7 weapons (including ones I didn't get because of a bug with the commendation packs). Kept playing and after another half mil of credits, got another character. I'm still getting old character cards and consumables out the wazoo.

Not to be rude, but if you're referring to the "N7 Valiant", "N7 Hurricane", "N7 Crusader", "N7 Eagle"...

Those only come from Commendation Packs (barring a Victory Pack a few Operations ago) for the time being.

I would not be surprised to see them available for purchase later, but until then you have to participate to get even a shot at them.
