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

If amps are not gear, why are they listed in the gear panel in my manifest, and why do i select them in the gear menu when playing in the game. I am talking about amps, not rail amp consumables.

also ' - how many BP did you buy for that?' bp's? 
 
np.

Sry, I edited that one - I meant VP as in Veteran Pack. And I thought you meant the Rail AMPs which are consumables, not the gear AMPS - my bad.

In terms of veteran packs. did 5-6 or so silver friday, 10 ish saturday and another 5-6 this morning. Have work to do so that will be all i play this operation.  So maybe 35-40 veteran packs?

Edit. The saturday figure is iffy though. could have been 12 to 15 games there, so could be 50 vet packs max.

That would be a normal drop-rate for gear imho. But then again, you haven't maxed your Rebellion gear, which drops normally anyway and you got a mere 3 of the new Earth gear, which is what this whole thread is about.

Finally maxed out my gear from Earth DLC today - took around a total of ~30mil in PSP to max them. Should be re-named to ultra-mega-rare...

Same here. Took me about 100+ PSP to max the gold gear and 400+VP to max the super rare uncommon gear.
In case you didn't know that VP do drop gold gear which it happened to me twice.

I posted this in another thread that was discussing Gear:

NathanW18 wrote...

Seeing as I just saw this thread, I thought I would document what happened to me. I had just over 1,000,000 credits saved and I decided to use them all to buy Veteran Packs.

In just over 1,000,000 credits, I unlocked 3 rare and 2 uncommon Earth gear upgrades.

Engineering Kit x 2
Omni-Capactiors x 2
Guerrilla Upgrade

I think that is a terrible drop rate, personally.


Which packs are you guys buying to find the Earth Gear? I always feel like I'm wasting credits if I buy PSP's. The outcome always feels like they're very expensive JEP's.

Well over 40 million credits spent since the Earth DLC dropped 26 days ago and I am still waiting for two of the same Earth DLC gear drops. I love that this thread is 16 pages deep and Bioware still hasn't responded once to it. Speaks volumes, doesnt it?

I have completely lost faith in this company. But hey, let's focus on the hell out of some weapon or character instead! smh

Aw, man, I know that, just answering in the same way =P


And poor freemyheart - I wish you some luck. For me gear drops work quite well as you could see, but ME3 MP is not so much fun to play it regulary for me. I think I will try to focus on the event weekends. Fury is the very last class I unlocked (got the rest pretty much in the first PSPs after release, but that damn class eluded me for about 30 PSPs and 10 SPs) but also what I really enjoy to play.
Usually I played human sentinel for the defence (tech armor) and heavy biotic dmg (warp/throw combos and 30% more biotic dmg from the tech armor). But of course if you had to run and couldn't camp somewhere that class was kinda ****ed.
Fury with the high movement speed and wall-porting and acrobatics and anhilation-drain-shield is way more pleasant to play.

Don't talk about how great characters are, because that's what Bioware will take from this thread. "I don't know what the point of that thread is, but we need to nerf the hell out of the Human Sentinel and Fury!"

They seemed to have fixed it. I spent 1M on SP's and got 5 uncommon gears.

They have fixed nothing.

The drop rates suck, and even if you do toil and work like a dog, they will nerf what you earn.

We are losing weekend objectives because people are leaving the game - tired of idiots nerfing every good gun in the name of 'balance'.

I posted it elsewhere but I've been getting loads of gear. Earth gear is dropping faster than some of the rebellion gears for me. I'm still on Structural Ergonomics II but I've nearly maxed the uncommon earth gears and I'm getting a rare earth gear every couple of PSPs

I've gotten at least another 10-11 gear drops at of 35 packs in 2 days. I wish I could have the same luck pulling an N7 Typhoon.

We are losing weekend objectives, because it's insulting to cash in the Victory pack to receive what receive normally for playing for 30 minutes. Give us some kind of incentive to actually complete a community objective.

But yeah, you're right. This is the first game I've witnessed where a company has repeatedly adjusted things. That's the real killer of this game. Not the store, or anything else.

They need to buff ALL the weapons.

If you let a soldier (not N7) shoot a target, let's say a geth prime without a gun and a biotic shoot another geth prime with his sidearm and spam BEs - it might be a draw. Problem is, biotics you can spam all the time, for shooting you need to leave cover for very long to effectively dps. So either risk dying or be a burden for your team.

-> Buff all the weapons

Or they could make the weapon-gear give more % of dmg. But then they need to buff the drop rates so you at least get the gear at all =P

BUY VETERAN PACKS FOR UNCOMMON GEAR, SPECTRE PACKS FOR COMMON.



I tried to buy veteran, I thin I bought 15, not even a single gear, I already tried it twice, nerver worked with me.

With the ridiculously-low drop rates in the store, both for Gear and URs, I'm getting closer to not wanting to play this game anymore.  The pack drops are way too low to keep players interested.  I play a lot, and I'm having having trouble unlocking stuff.  I can't even imagine how it is for the player who doesn't play as much.

I've bought many Veteran Packs since Earth DLC, but have never gotten a single Gear out of them.  It's possible that Uncommon Gear shows up in them, but I've never seen it.  If it does appear, the drop rate must be like 2%.

Yep. I put in about an hour or so for the Weekend Operation, then, after opening a few more packs with nothing in them, I realized I didn't care. This multiplayer experience was not built for longevity. The only reason I come back to the game is to check out new DLC and to unlock those Commendation Packs for the promo weapons. I would feel more of an urge to play if I knew I was going to be unlocking gears, but with the drop rates so low I can't bring myself to give a rat's behind.
