I'm not addicted.

I can stop any time I want.

That's what I've been telling myself for months...

You've just gotta face the ugly truth and admit to yourself that you have a problem..
Yes it's the hardest part..
But look around... you are not alone.

I've built up such a tolerance that they don't even work anymore.


This. So much this.

There's coffee and cookies on the table in the corner, everyone, help yourselves.

I thought being able to carry more would help. You know, safety net and all.

I just ended up using more and more.
/sob
I don't know how to stop! When my heart starts racing and my vision gets red and blurry, I just have to have one! I can suddenly see everything so clearly after a dose. My mind and heart are calm; everything is okay in the galaxy. And that glow! I'm positively glowing when I have an ops pack!

It's so... so beautiful.

I always buy specter packs + what's left in money into recruit packs.

I never run out of consummables doing so and I prefer to get 3 or 4 rank III items.

Before I started doing so, I was an OPS addict as well.

Just play bronze! Can probably go many matches without needing gels/missiles/ops packs.

Alternative: play a Jugg on gold (with stronghold gear, cyclonics, etc.)

Okay, I admit it... sometimes I even use them when I'm at full health and shields. I used to be more in control about it, putting myself in situations that would give me excuses. I would charge into a group of Phantoms (Crapperoooy Jenkins!) and then I'd just spam the heck out of them, telling my friends that Ops Packs were used to prevent sync kills.

I finally realized I had a problem when my friend confronted me. Apparently, I had used an Ops Pack at the beginning of a wave. I blurted out whatever excuse I could think of, telling him, "Crap! There was a turret left over. Good thing for Ops Packs, huh?"
Then my friend kindly pointed out that we were facing Reapers.

My kids won't even talk to my shiny body anymore. What has become of me?
I'm just glad I'm not alone. Thanks for your courage, Jeremiah...

pretty insidious of BW to not allow more than 5 gel or ops packs per JEP, even if you have the other two maxed at 255.


I have nothing at 255 and frequently get more than 5 gels in a JEP. just last night I got nine (one card with 5, and 2 with 2 each)

You can never get more than 5 Ops packs from a single equipment pack.

I'm way too happy when I get a PSP or AP and it comes with an OPS pack, instead of something lame like Missles or Medigel.

No, all my consumables are at 255. So all I get in the store are level 1 amps.

IIRC Bioware changed it to be that way after people complained that they got too many Ops packs and that they're not useful enough.

How times have changed. :lol:

Brojo made a comment somewhere that when the +2s were created for the JEPs, they added it for only the consumables used most by players, which were Missiles & Medigel.  I don't personally remember if a +2 ever existed for the other two or not.  Based on the comment, I'd say they never did.

There is very simple reason why Ops packs are in a short supply:

Half of them dont eff'ing WORK!!!

The player uses an ops packs. It gets used. The player still dies.

You're right, most likely. I don't really remember what exactly was said on the subject.

I have 255, I think. I never use them. Not because I'm good, but because the vast majority of the time I use an ops pack to save myself from imminent death, the ops pack goes off - my shields restore - and I drop dead a second later anyway.

I stopped using that button.

I've had matches (yeah off-host) where I was trying to use the ops pack and it took 4-5 sec of straight up mashing and doing nothing else to even register the pack. I wish that was an exaggeration, but sometimes it isn't. Its like the priority for the Ops is all messed up in the game code.
