Meanwhile, Bioware continues nerfing good weapons -- alienating the only fans of multiplayer left to play with.

ME3 is my favorite multiplayer game and I do hope to get more DLC to keep me playing, but how long will it take me to unlock all the new stuff? When I finally do get the good stuff, how badly will they be nerffed? I want to keep playing, but as time goes on, I get more frustrated and discouraged. When I find a gun or character I really like and I'm really good with, I start fearing that if I continue playing and winning with them, that they'll end up broken and unusable.

I also noticed that all I seem to get for the majority of my Objective waves are the Escorts. I am so sick of those and nearly every game I get them. Once in a while it is fine, but it feels like they're pushing it on us a bit much. I'd be inclined to just let the timer run out in protest each time we get an Escort mission, but I don't want to be a jerk to the other players who need the credits/experience... not that we're getting anything with those credits.

All I know is I don't earn a lot of credits and will most certainly not have all the guns, let alone high ranks of them until I totally stop playing this game. Same with equipment and chars. I enjoy ME3 co-op mostly but this unlock system is just awful from the PoV of a player that can't stomach playing 10 hours a day of this game just to get some good stuff, which is a requirement (or pay lots of RL $$: no ty!).

Ah well, I will soon forget this game when BL2 comes out in september. Bazillion guns, baby! And they will be actually attainable!

Escorts are the 2nd easiest objective. Just stay in cover. Run a little bit ahead and get in cover. Run a little bit ahead and stay in cover. Unless you are a Level 1 character with 0 health, you'll be perfectly fine. Don't stop to shoot enemies that just respawn elsewhere on the map -- because that's what they do until you've finished the objective. Once you've finished the objective, then waste rockets if you want to. Hopefully that helps.

As to the drop rates of gear, I recently took the advice given about buying Spectre Packs over Premium SP if your Rare guns are maxed. Lo and behold, I've gotten four pieces of gear (1 rare) and 1 Ultra Rare in my last SIX Spectre packs. Needless to say, I'll be continuing to buy Spectre Packs.

Congrats. I'd be interested to know if this sticks. I bought at least 50 Spectre Packs (and 50 Premium SP) today and received 11 total so-called "Rare" Earth DLC gear drops.

[superligerzero]

I was dissapointed that nothing wasn't said about the store in todays changes. SP does nothing for me not even rebellion gear.

[The Makr]

Intentional. Bioware controls the drop rate and we are clearly seeing the end result. Pretty obvious really.

[kww75]

I dunno a few weeks ago I had a spate where it dropped in every pack I bought, only for a few days then it went through a whole kinda N7 rarity thing but worse!

Since they changed the rare class pack drop rate I don't see them either, I seem to always cap out the new rare guns first before anything else. Most of the time I hate the new guns for one reason or another and would much rather a class I want to try or gear to improve the classes I do play

[Immortal Strife]

I bought 12 specter packs and 8 veteran packs today-no gear. I'll try again tomorrow and report back.

I'm not saying they're hard, I'm saying I wouldn't mind a few more disable/enable devices or something else once in a while. I've been getting 2 to 3 Escort missions in the majority of the games I've played the past few days. LOL.

I dropped out of this thread for a while after I got shat on by a few of its members, and legitimately told to refrain from speaking by freemyheart until I had a little more valuable data.

In the last three days I have purchased four PSPs and about ten SPs. In that same time frame I maxed all the rare - and most of the uncommon - Rebellion Gear from SPs. I also unlocked a one or two uncommon, as well as several rare, Earth Gear items from SPs. I got nothing from my PSPs.

If you're farming for gear, I wish you luck and recommend trying SPs if you're not itching for UR weapon upgrades. I would not be surprised if the drop rate scales with unlocks - the more stuff you already have, the less you are likely to receive. Again, good luck.

All I'm getting at the moment is character cards and rare gear.

Honestly, I don't see why people are struggling to get it. Uncommon gear however, is still very difficult to obtain, but I imagine that's because I'm not buying veteran packs.

Since you still haven't leveled up your last "Common" weapon, and many of your "Uncommon" weapons, I recommend buying Vet packs exclusively just to get those out of the way. At least, that's what I did. But that was months ago and the store might not work that way anymore. Does anyone know if Vet packs still level up Common/Uncommon weapons if you still need them?

I did this after I leveled my "Rare" weapons in the hope of having a better chance at Ultra-Rare weapons. Of course, now we all know that's silly.

It's unlikely you'll receive any Earth DLC so-called "Uncommon" gear drops in Vet packs -- possible you'll receive the other gears in Vet packs. I've read that Earth DLC gear occasionally drops in Vet paccks, but it sounds like you're more likely to get an Ultra-Rare weapon in a Spectre Pack. That's where all of my so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC gears dropped -- in regular Spectre Packs.

I've been getting a couple now and then in Vet packs.

Sorry it's german, but either Bioware fixed the store or I got lucky.

[superligerzero]

I would go with the you got lucky with two rares and an uncommon.

[Moses6533]

3 gears in one pack. Nice.

[-Scythe-]

Well since I don't care for gear and prefer URs (for the case they get better...) I wasn't all that lucky.

Anyway, I hope they changed the gear drop rates so you guys can finally get the gear you want with the fitting rarity. And I pray for some Javelin upgrades and a huge buff to the weapon =P

Oh and that was a PSP, not a spectre pack. I stopped going for SPs since I want URs and not Gear. What makes it even more funny.



They must have changed something!

That or you simply got lucky -- scratch that, I just saw your previous post -- very, very lucky. (Congrats by the way  I received two Ultra-Rare weapons in PSPs four times before maxing out my Ultra-Rare weapons.

Have since spent another 1,000,000 credits since my previous post. Have received zero of the nine missing Earth DLC Gear drops.

So we're up to 38 million since July 17.

Hilarious.

Lets swap, you get the gear and I get the URs. Both happy.

I mostly got the Gear I want to use, I'm just a bit annoyed that I don't get the Pure Biotic Dmg Upgrade (dunno english name) at all, but at least I got the Commando Package at IV now. Oh and the 3rd PSP today had Paladin for me... so here we go URs.

Lucky day... I might want to cut back on forum activity and play - I gotta use this luck.

One theory is that somehow, the drop rate goes down if you have everything else unlocked.  No hard evidence, but the majority of people who have less difficulty obtaining Earth DLC gear also seem to have other Rare stuff still to unlock.

[-Scythe-]

Bioware is trolling you, by giving me what I want... rofl.

No but at topic: I really think that those gear needs to be as common as other silver/gold stuff. Sure there are only 5 levels of them, still they aren't half as common as the rest but maybe 10 times rarer.

While I've seen that as well, I would also bet real money that the last things they will need in their manifest are the Earth DLC gears and Ultra-Rare weapons.

Unfortunately, there's no reason for those people that we've seen post on these threads to come back with updates to let us know. I say that because I believe now that Bioware could give two blanks that this is an ongoing issue that needs addressing.

[Stinja]

 I still need some normal common gear too, but yes everything unlocked except Earth + ultra rares = trolled 

[Siran]

Spent 9,5mil credits on PSP yesterday and almost maxed out my gear, only 3 rare remain. Had the impression that uncommon gear did indeed drop more frequently as I was lacking that the most, now I have the uncommons maxed at least.

That's roughly >25mil spent since Earth DLC came out. How will someone who only plays casually or just starts now ever even have a slight chance of maxing stuff, even the new uncommon gear is still tough to get unlike the uncommon weapons, mods and characters...
