It's definitely glitched. Fix it!

I'm pretty sure it's not glitched. I manage to max most of my gears just by buying PSPs It took quite a while though. Now, I just have to max out 3 uncommon gears.

Holy crap. I think you're one of the first I've seen that has nearly all gears maxed without having nearly all ultra rares maxed. It's not glitched, in one sense, because the gears are dropping. But the current drop rate is very different from the original drop rate of the Rebellion DLC gears. Or I'm going crazy. And the fact that the gears are labeled as uncommon and rare when they seem to drop less frequently than ultra rares doesn't make sense.

I seem to be really lucky. That was my 5th PSP after the last I posted here.

Meanwhile, you maxed the other 69 of 69 "Rare" items from the Earth DLC ages ago. Probably on the first day, depending on how much you spent.

What it comes down to is Bioware needs to reclassify the Earth DLC Gears (all of them) as Ultra-Rare. Either that or make them match the drop rate of other "Rare" or "Uncommon" items.

They won't do that though. That makes too much sense.

I think they've fixed the drops. Because I've gotten 4 gears in about 6 packs. Either that or it was just a lucky streak.

When I requested that Bioware fix the drop rate Earth DLC Gears, I meant for everyone. Not just one person.

Silliness aside, congrats!

We're talking about Earth DLC Gear drop rates. You still need 24 Earth DLC Gear drops to level them to V, meanwhile you already have the Typhoon at II. At the same time, you have not even unlocked the Earth DLC Gear "Shock Trooper Upgrade" and have three other so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gears at level I only.

Lastly, you have all 69 of 69 of the other "Rare" Earth DLC non-gear drops. (Weapon mods, weapons, characters). I typed that last sentence before checking , because I knew that it was true.

When people start to actually fill out their Earth DLC Gears without spending tens of millions of credits, then I'll believe that the issue has been addressed.

I've been experiencing similar problems not only with the gear but also with Rares. Additionally, I keep unlocking Human characters despite the fact that I've maxed them all out.

Things will seem skewed for you for quite a while due to your not having leveled up all of your Uncommon/Rare items (weapons, characters). Once you level them up (max them out), you will stop receiving character cards and will only receive level III and IV consumables. So enjoy the leveling up while you can.

Meanwhile, you are 9 for 55 (16%) in so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" Earth DLC Gear drops.
In the other 69 "Rare" Earth DLC non-gear drops, you are 37 for 69 (53%).

Mark my word: You will max out every other non-Gear "Rare" item on your manifest, long before you level up your so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" Earth DLC Gears to V.

I think me lacking all those uncommon weapons is actually helping with the gear. I receive PSPs with only lvl 4 consumeables too, but only very rarely.

Most of my packs include 1 or 2 gear items, even from the Earth DLC. The picture above are my proof =P and I didn't spend over 700k credits since my first picture here.
Eh I just wish everyone had similar rates to me, because it feels so frustrating when I only get consumables ONCE and you get them all the time... I probably would quit. Oh and I got the typhoon now, the only UR I didn't have.

I spent around 700k early this morning and all I unlocked was the Omni-capacitors I and the Indra III. I have all of the gear unlocked, but I still have 7 rare gears to level up and 3 uncommons to level.

So, nothing's changed. That's unfortunate.

Pretty much. I could at least use more medi-gel and missles instead of ammo powers. I've had a string of bad luck with random players lately. If I didn't have to waste so many credits trying to unlock the gear and stuff, I'd have some left over for a few jumbo equipment packs now and then. :P

Or, Bioware could just fix the drop rate for the Earth DLC Gears and you wouldn't be having that problem.

Well, I just hope I get some more Javelin levels, for when they buff that weapon to heaven.

Others have religion, I have the Javelin.

I don't know about you guys, but I've been getting a lot of gear drops lately. I wasn't getting many at first, but I've gotten double gear drops multiple times. Just check my manifest.

I don't think there is any wizardly at work. Rng is rng. Drop rates for uncommon gears are fine. I have done nothing but buy veteran packs this weekend and i'm getting them every 3-5 packs.

You have exactly 2 uncommon Earth DLC gears. Don't say the drop rates are fine.

Ok, yeah, I have to admit the new Earth DLC gear drop rate used to be atrocious in the last few weeks (bought dozens of packs with hardly a gear drop), but recently I experienced a sudden surge in gear drop rate. I still got a ways to go to max out the new gear, but there's been progress.

Hopefully, if it was a bug, they've fixed it.

And before the weekend started i had

Assault rifle amp 2, not current 4.
Pistol amp 1 , not 2.
Smg amp 2, not 4. 
No engineering kit.
No densified ammunition. 
Shield booster 1 not 3.
Mental focuser 2 not 4.
Ops package 3 not 4
shock trooper 2 not 3. 
 
All from veteran packs since friday evening.  Drop rate seems fine to me. There is no seperate chance of getting earth dlc gears compared to other gears. It is an rng system. 

Edit. Also. It appears you have everything in the game maxed bar two gears at level 4. Have you considered that it is just the nature of rng that they are hard to get. You could have as easily ended up with 2 rare weapons to get.

I've had about 12 gear drops this weekend so far, which is the most I've ever had in 2 day period. About 1.5m credits spent.

I wish those IV ammos would not start popping until you got all gear unlocked.

AMPs are not gear...

Ops Package and Mental Focuser are Rebellion Gear. So you got 2 uncommon gears and 1 rare gear from Earth DLC - how many VP did you buy for that?


Edit. Also. It appears you have everything in the game maxed bar two gears at level 4. Have you considered that it is just the nature of rng that they are hard to get. You could have as easily ended up with 2 rare weapons to get. 


No. I had the new rare weapons maxed out with spending the initial 6,7mil on PSP I had saved up for Earth DLC. It took me another 20mil (!) to get to my current manifest. That's not rng, that's broken. Uncommon and rare gear from Earth DLC does not drop at the same rate as weapons and characters of the same labeled "rarity". The Rebellion gear dropped far more frequently, I had that maxed with my initial 8,8mil I spent when Rebellion came out.
