I got 2 Typhoons and 2 Particle Rifles, but no gear such as Juggernaut shield

PS. Oh yeah, also got an Indra

Gear drops are strangely low

The store for me is pretty good when it comes to gear. In two PSP I was able to get the Beserker package twice, in both packs to max it out. I just wish I had the same kind of luck with weapons.


Nice to see the store has been kind to one or two people when it comes to gear. You only need 14 more (out of 55) Earth DLC gear drops to level up. I'm guessing you bought a TON of SP and PSP in order to do this. Probably more than I have (28,000,000). I'm sure if I spent the 6+million I have saved up, I might get to where you are, but the point is -- if the Gear is really Uncommon or Rare, then one shouldn't have to spend six million credits to level up. They should have dropped in the initial 7.2 million I spent on the day of the Earth release. Instead, here's what happened. I received items for the first 3 million or so, then only an Ultra-Rare weapon here and there for the last 4 million -- due to Bioware not making the Uncommon Gears even available until a week later... ugh.

It's pretty crazy that gears are harder to come by than weapons and characters other than URs. It seems ever since they made Ammo 3's into UC's, gears are hard to come by.


You can thank those users that complained endlessly about character cards -- and Bioware for caring what users were whining about -- instead of just leaving things alone. The store wasn't broken at that time, people just cried about character cards, and the store has been a joke ever since thanks to the changes that were made.

You'd think that those that whined about character cards would have loved the changes. Instead, that thread is now THIRTY FOUR pages long and people are still posting on it. Bioware unstickied the post finally -- probably in the hope that it (and it's 846 replies and 51,219 page views) would disappear...

There's definitely a different drop-rate at work for Rebellion Gear and Earth DLC Gear. When I saved up 8.8mil for Rebellion I maxed out my gear at once and well before I had bought the last of the 88 PSPs I spent my credits on. With Earth I merely saved up 6.7mil and nowhere got near as much gear as with Rebellion. I'm currently sitting on well over 9mil credits until this is fixed, who knows how "uncommon" the new mods are going to be...

I have 6 Gears at level V, but the uncommon ones seem like they are ultra rare. It is like that time I was trying to capture chimecho in pokemon emerald, uncommon my butt, spent 3 days in the same bush trying to get it.

You have none of the Earth DLC gears at level V. Again, this thread is in reference to the Earth DLC gear ONLY.

Here is how you're doing when it comes to the Gear we are talking about in this thread.

You are 2 for 20 in so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gear:
Thermal Clip Storage (1/5)
Adaptive War Amp (0/5)
Engineering Kit (0/5)
Densified Ammo (1/5)

Your so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear? A respectable 16 for 35.
Combatives Upgrade (1/5)
Martial Biotic Amp (4/5)
Juggernaut Shield (3/5)
Shock Trooper Upgrade (2/5)
Guerrilla Upgrade (2/5)
Omni Capacitors (3/5)
Barrage Upgrade (1/5)

No, nothing is wrong with the store! He has almost half of the "Rare" Earth DLC gear drops -- but only 2 of 20 "Uncommon" Earth DLC gear drops?

Where is Bioware? Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

then the OP should had made it clear

uncommon gear is Omega Rare because bioware "introduced" level 3 consumables as uncommon (WHY THE HELL) and now you have a much higher chance of getting level 3 uncommons than gear.

the best solution is to get rid of the level 3 consumables as uncommon (and level 4 as rare) because they hardly make a huge difference (besides the one for shields).

uncommon/rare consumables screwed us over...

No. See here:

Introduction of level 4 consumables did not alter anything to do with ultra rares or gear.
It is for players who have maxed other categories and allow for higher level play.


they replaced the character cards you already had maxed with consumables (lvl III and IV). Nothing more. Besides, this wouldn't explain the lower drop rate of Earth gear as opposed to the normal drop-rate of Rebellion gear.

same here. All URs maxed, even the new ones from Earth and the week before (Typhoon & PR) - still not even have some of the new gear at lvl 1. Especially the uncommon gear should be renamed to "unattainable"...


I just dont get it. You got all Urs maxed and complain about crappy uncommon gear...

Yes, most of the gear seems to be "Ultra Rare" based on how many credits I've spent at the store (~8-10 million) since the new DLC came out. I had all Rares maxed at DLC release and there are many gear items that I haven't even unlocked yet, much less maxed.

I've actually unlocked more Ultra Rare weapons than Gear in the last 2 weeks. I'm not totally screwed though...I do get 2 "Rare" Ammo mods in each and every PSP that I buy, haha.

Maybe I want to use some of my weapons (including the URs) with said gear? Maybe I'm a completionist and just want to have everything that's not a consumable maxed. Maybe part of the game is unlocking new stuff, which for some reason just doesn't happen anymore although there's still plenty to unlock?

And why do you care anyway? It's true for everyone else, even you.

In your manifest:
Uncommon Earth DLC gear, you have 16/20 drops.
Rare Earth DLC gear: you have only 9/35 drops.


Yeah, so I've almost maxed out my Earth DLC uncommons, which in this thread have been described as unattainable. That's definitely not the case for me - in fact, I've got more success with them than with the Rebellion uncommons. I'm still getting roughly 1 gear from every spectre pack I buy. I guess I'll have to see if the drop rate changes once I've maxed out my Rebellion gear.

Why do you think I care? The sooner or later this stuff will drop (for me, for you and anyone else) and till then i will just play. That's simple.

It really isn't. With the current drop-rate or Earth gear, you might max out on ultra-rare weapons before you max out on "rare" and "uncommon" gear.

So you came on a thread and attempted to troll people, rather than having anything to add to the conversation. Thank you! Well done!

That said, you have ZERO of the new so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gear (0/20) and are an impressive 6 for 35 when it comes to the so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear. 6 of 55. Thank you for the great laugh.

Normally I would suggest that you bookmark this thread to come back and add something constructive to the conversation after you've leveled all of your Ultra Rare weapons to X yet are still missing gear drops for the Earth DLC, but there should be multiple threads by that time for you to reply to. All on the front page, no doubt.

I have all of my URs maxed as well, and this gear is eluding me as if it is in a whole different dimension of rare.

totally agree! the gear drop rate is _frustatingly_ low.

You need to fix it.

Er, first of all, which of my posts do you consider as trolling? I just said that this stuff will drop eventually. As for low rates there is nothing you can do about it. 


That said, you have ZERO of the new so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gear (0/20) and are an impressive 6 for 35 when it comes to the so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear. 6 of 55. Thank you for the great laugh.

 

And so what? It doesnt prevent me from getting fun playing multi with friends.

I know he's been having a fun time getting lv 4 consumables like I am, It's been non stop for a lot of people. I have been getting uncommon gear to drop a little better in vet packs since SP and SPS seem to be a complete waste of time. I have contacted Bioware about the constant drops of lv 4 consumables and it seems to be nothing wrong with the store to them.


Bioware is not officially replying in the forums, that means that the store is broken
So many people are having issues that the randomness explaination is no longer acceptable
