I got all the UR's that I like to use Scorpion and the Valkire.. going to give the Hurricane III a shot.

got the N7's that I like to play with Fury, Shadow and fatty McOrbs Volus Adept. So everything I get at this point is 'bonus' for me.. Playing MMO's since MUDs I'm aware with drops/grinding.. this isn't anything near true grinding at all

MUDs...it think you just showed your age.

Yeah, it's been a while since I had an UR drop for me as well. I've spent quite a bit of in-game credits but...meh. So I just stay philosophical about it and keep on grindin'.

The simple solution to this "problem" that people complain about since the game came out:

_ Stop caring.
_ Keep playing, if you need an incentive, work on challenges, experiment characters with various builds, weapons, or just try to break your "habits".
_ Stuff will unlock sooner or later.

I bought 5 reserves packs the other day, I still got a total of 0 URs, for the whole of 2013 I've managed to get 2 URs.

I've played 461 hours and I've now got 81 URs and 129 UR to go, so if I carry on like this I'd have to do over 1000 hours to max my manifest....

Here's the UR drop rate topic: http://social.biowar...ndex/13527160/1

Reserves Pack: ~ 18%
Arsenal Pack and PSP: ~ 10-12%

[eddie1111]

i feel your pain also! since dlc came out i probably spent 4+ mill on arsenal packs and psps and have only gotten the 3 new rare weapons to level 10 and only got spitfire to level 2 and got 1 level + to particle assault rifle...thats 4 ultra rares along with collector adapt with 4+ mill credit.....


so 100k for a pack that takes an average of 45 minutes to get on gold

lets say 4 mill divided by 100k thats 40..each game i get min 75k credit so 4 mill divided by 75k is 53..comes up to minimum of 20 hours i wasted on getting this crap

im seriously getting very bored of this bull!...change the darn ultra rares to just rare!

I had a lucky UR streak the 4 days following reckoning, where I spent nearly 10 millions and got 17 UR. Then, after that, I spent since tonight another 10 millions in total and unlocked only 3 UR.
If you do the maths, 20 millions spent for 20 UR. 1 per million.
At this rate, I have to spend another 98 millions, that are more or less 650 platinum games.

If I think about that, my will to play the game anymore disappears. I'm trying to think positively, but really, after 1500 games played it seems too much to me. I only have to accept that I will never max my manifest.

I got a bunch of Commendation weapons a week ago . . . three Crusaders, a Hurricane, an Eagle, and a Valiant. However, I haven't gotten ANY of the new UR weapons, or a Collector SMG, in the past month.

In fact, since the latest DLC, while I've gotten about 7 or 8 URs, every single one was a Commendation weapon or a Particle Rifle. I'd really like some of the new guns or the Collector SMG. =(

And I'm in a drought right now of at least 3 million credits.

I've come to the conclusion that Biower is a biased organization that discriminates against those who wish to have a maxed manifest. We all feel your pain... I noticed I wasn't getting UR's for a while and decided to start keeping track of how long it takes before I get one. My last UR came 11,385,000 credits ago- all spent on reserve packs. It kinda makes me wonder what the record is (maxed manifest excluded, of course)

On a side note- I still play MUDs...

Thats one heck of a drought. Maybe its worth mixing it up with other packs?

In my experience, I tended to reliably get at least 1 UR per 10 PSPs in the long haul. It was usually more, but if I spent a million, I would probably get 1.

[Andreadg89]

I really start to think that they toned down the UR drop rate. Even other friends of mine have experienced a great lack of UR unlocks since reckoning came out.

Prior to the current drought, I went just shy of 8 mil before getting an UR.  That was with a mix of all three packs.  Not sure mixing it up really helps.

Oddly enough, I also went on a streak a few weeks ago of unlocking 10 UR's in 12 packs... Biower's system makes no sense to me.

**Edit**
the 10 UR's in 12 packs came within 2 days after reckoning was released.  Since then, drought heaven... I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to make UR's UUUUUUR's a few days after reckoning...

You got lucky.  I bought 7 mil worth in bulk with nothing...

[Barge6000]

Yes everyone is annoyed. The truth is this game is not deep enough to warrant the low rewards

Ultra rares are nice,but you don´t really need them to enjoy in this game or be effective on higher difficulties.

I was thinking about making a thread,that we get(ask for) in every weapon category Claymore-like (see Claymore-Wraith discussion) weapon,because shotgun category is stacked with great rare Platinum viable weapons,but as my english skills and knowing of meta game are not top notch,I gave up.

I think this is getting ridiculous too. With a pool of this many UR the randomness of the store sucks even harder now. The random store is in my opinion one of the worse features in this game, if not the worst.

Reeks of EA by the way.

It took one year to get a Black Widow unlock. My Harrier is also at I. I have been playing since launch and I am happy with the things I have unlocked. BioWare seems to be up to something. They have been very quiet lately.

[stormrider1012]

In my experience the store is pretty streaky when it comes to UR drops. I actually had a 5 million UR dry streak the day reckoning was released and was so pissed that so much of my hard-earned savings only yielded equipment. On the other hand, the day the promos were added to UR pool, I dropped 10 million on the store and it got me 22 UR drops. But then, it took me around 2-3 million credits before I was able to unlock the very last UR (Hurricane X) upgrade I needed to max out my manifest.

I don't think any of us are suggesting you need URs to play, but we're gamers, gaming is all about fun, success and reward. The reward process is linked in with the desire to collect, even more so in games like this.

Most of us on here will have maxed most, if not all of everything except the URs, so with such a low drop rate we're playing for hours on hours with effectively no reward because all we get in each pack is consumables, which we probably have a large stack of anyway.

It's far from a major problem, I do still play for fun primarily, but I would like to unlock a new gun or upgrade every few games, rather than every few months.
