How does this go out anyway? Like, XBL content day is Wednesday (10th).

Is it 9th for Origin and PSN and 10th for XBL?


XBL used to update once a week back a few years ago but now their are daily releases of DLC, videos, etc.  From posts here on BSN, the xbox content tends unlock around brunch (10-11am-ish EST) so I'd expect it on the 9th before lunch.

As an Australian, XBL still updates games and game add-ons once a week on wednesdays.

Quick question...
I'm saving up creds for the dlc and I"ve about 500,000 (little under) saved up currently, gonna get more tonight too. I want to get the characters quick but I'm wondering; would it be better if I bought premium spectre packs or regular spectre packs?

I have been out of the MP scene for a few months, but this trailer got me very excited! Great work Bioware! Looking forward to digging back into some MP action.

Depends on the rest of your manifest and consumables status.  If you're low on medigels/rockets/ammo/etc, I'd say go for regular spectre packs as you get more of them and *almost* as many rares for the credits.  You get one rare per 60k spent guaranteed with a chance for two per 60k occasionally.  Premium spectres give you a greater UR chance and are a better deal for guaranteed rares (one per 49.5k) but less consumables.  I've personally (and completely subjectively) had better luck strangely with UR in regular spectre packs so I tend to buy a mix of the two with my saved up credits when DLC is released.    Even with 1,000,000 credits spent on PSP, you're only getting a guaranteed 20 rares or UR (with the occasional pack giving you 3 rares to increase that minimum amount).  With three new weapons with 10 levels each and a half dozen new gears with 5 levels plus 4 levels of classes with 4 custoizations each... you're unlikely to max out any one category.

Will this pack be free? (I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

Looking forward to this one! I can guess the reasoning for not rolling out all the new characters immediately is a good one, but my impatience for MORE CHARACTERS will be tough to wrangle all the same.

I'm just waiting for this to drop so that I can find out what powers these new classes have. I'm hoping like hell that the turian infiltrator has overload.

Could you get a link to this, and did he clarify if "following weeks" means like every tuesday 4 new kits or the rest will come in a month?

Regarding kit release schedule, my bet on what's likeliest is that they come in batches of four per month, either one a week or all four at once, once a month. This sits us at Retaliation keeping content rolling out for four months (starting this month) and has the next multiplayer DLC slated for February 2013.

On the other hand I'm a longtime MMO player so that could be affecting my predictions on release pace. It could be every other week, making the next one hit around December.


If it's not tied to a calendar, then I could see the additional kits being released based on Operations results. Since we'll soon be having weekly Operations....

The link is somewhere in this thread in the 20s iirc but the board and threads have been moving so fast it's hard to get a link.  Priestly did confirm only 4 kits tomorrow but they didn't specify (to my knowledge... but like I said the board moves fast!) the frequency of the subsequent updates.   Pure speculation on my part would be that it'll be one per week like with the weapons they've been sprinkling into the multiplayer.

1 new item every tuesday does sound like a good idea for them. Keeps people interested for a while wandering what will be released next without laying all there eggs in the same basket.

Apparently we're getting new stuff (as suspected by myself and others above) on a weekly basis including kits and n7 challenges.

I hated fighting the scion... but at least this time I have backup, right? Hopefully, human players will last longer than A.I. squadmates...

Chris edited his original post. You can see on Twitter that he said 16 kits. What's quoted is what was originally written. If you search the multiplayer forum for Decompiling the patch (DLC spoilers) you'll see that a number of character names and images were datamined also.
