^ if they changed it now, then people who spent real money before would be screwed.

If you are interested I can tell you, how many credits you have actually spent.


I was wondering if this can be added to the N7 HQ page. It would be very interesting to see. Just for fun of course.

Thanx & always glad to have your voice here.

If there would be a UR pack, I would buy it asap. I don't understand why can't we get one.

There is a huge difference between the number of ultra rares required to complete your manifest and the number of ultra rare weapons. I don't know why the focus continues to be on completion of the manifest. A reasonable point earlier in the thread was that when new DLC that the team worked on comes out, it can be quite some time before players get to even experience part of the content. But that's vastly different from saying the UR rate needs to be enhanced in order to more quickly achieve manifest completion. Similarly, arguments about the number of hours to unlock every UR card fall flat, at least to me. If I were Bioware/EA, at most I might implement a feature where unlocks of new URs have a slightly higher rate in order to push my new content out to the player base, but each additional unlock of an existing UR would be the same as it is now.

Is the probability of not getting an UR for twenty pack (9/10)^20?

A 4mil dry streak has less than a one percent chance of happening, but I've heard about it a lot.

How about those of us have had one or more dry streaks of 3-5-8-12 million credits and no URs? I think for alot of us, URs are worth ALOT more than 1 million dollars, skewing your numbers off by quite a bit



That is not how probability works, also if you are interested I can tell you, how many credits you have actually spent.

Can you tell me how many credits I've spent? I'm just curious about my luck.


Same here :wizard:

I think you opened a can of worms here Brojo because I think I want to know as well:whistle:...I beleive I am one of the Unlucky b**tards that keeps the ballance at about 1 mil. please prove me wrong:crying:...give me hope:innocent:.

Aren't they screwed if the servers are taken down like some other people have said?

I don't care about maxing a manifest, I just want the Paladin...

Wait? Is Bryan Johnson arguing against a UR pack at this point in the game?

Brojo - i am actually pretty curious how much i have spent as well.

Also, is there anyway to prioritize new stuff over upgrades? As much as i appreciate my Indra X and Javelin 9 id rather have those be a valkyrie, spitfire and lancer.

Statistically, there is no reason not to add a pack that costs 1mil for UR's. At least you can get what you earn instead of hoping the gods decide to bless you.

Maybe it'd even make you guys more money because people are more likely to buy it if they're close to rare completion.

Maybe because Reckoning had a bunch of UR weapons in it?

Come on BJ I know you got those UR's swinging. Just toss a little BSN's way, huh? It'll be just like old times, remember? We can still get back there! Just one last pack man, I'm dying here. One last pack, and I'm done forever! I promise!

I'm curious how much I have spent as to what I have actually gained in credits. I have had bugs take away my credits many many times, so I actually get nothing for a match because of it. It happens to me at least once or twice a week. It's very disappointing to run a Gold or Plat match, come out of it, exit the lobby and see your credits poof into thin air. Even after exiting and closing out Origin and going back in does nothing.

If I had the credits I had lost out on because of bugs, perhaps my manifest wouldn't be so craptacular after a year of playing.

I'm still playing. I've just had a lot of work recently, and BSN tempts since I have the computer with me all the time.

Btw. I think 8mil would happen only .02% of the time... Which is like almost impossible.... Store's officially brokeded.

Most of the real money I spent on this game was when my rares where incomplete and it wasdamn near  guaranteed it's get a new weapon. It's hard to justify spending real money now since I could drop $20 and probably not see any weapons. Come to think of it what kind of users are likely to spend real money on the store?

it would only be good for business if BW/EA thought they would get more business by doing it.

without (us) knowing when the servers will go down, then that doesnt really matter, might as well say prices of lumber should be lowered to build a house because the earth will die someday.

now if there was only a few months known left, then increasing UR's drops or adding guaranteed UR pack would make sense business wise.

After reading 6+ pages of this thread, I get the distinct impression that for the vast majority of us, (anyone who doesn't extract on plat 2 or 3 times a day) should not even EXPECT to max our manifest, because they built the system that way.

As stated earlier, I have 420+ hours into the MP and I still have 129 UR's left, and literally 0 chance of maxing out the guns I want. I don't understand how this is ok when you're not even supporting the game any more.

I only need UR weapons and I've only played like, 10 games of Platinum.

I was actually referring to all the math that people were dropping about how many hundreds of millions it will take to max your manifest.  Cuz playing gold sure aint gonna cut it in whatever time we have left.  Which is my point.  The game IS coming to an end.  They've squeezed as much out of us as they can.  Let us get what we want so we can enjoy that time! 

Again, I don't care about maxing my manifest, but I would like to get the 2 ur guns I don't have, and max out the few that I really like.  Unfortunately, all I ever seem to get now a days is the Valkyrie!

Bryan the recent influx of ultra rares has left a lot of the more casual/unlucky members of the player base feeling disenfranchised and they're venting. I doubt there is really anything you can say to make them feel better. They feel like they just got slammed in the face with an insurmountable wall. Perhaps that isn't really fair to you but it's the way it is. I'm not going to demand an UR pack but I don't blame them for their reaction because it is a rather imposing objective.
