So like to topic says.

Without using real money. Just using credits.

How did you complete your manifest so quickly?

With work and school and kids and other things thrown into the mix.
How is it possible to get everything maxed out and have a tone of credits also?

Also hacking the game doesn't count(PC players).
I'm not just asking the one's who has had the game from jumpstart. (coz I've had the game from hour one)
There are many that have only had the game or only played multiplayer the last 6mts and already have the manifest maxed. (I started playing multiplayer more in September)
I just can't manage to get my weapons to level out or open up. Not to mention gear is less then on par for the class I like to play and have fun playing.

So is there a way to get the manifest maxed without using real money to buy packs or hacking the game.?
Remember to take in consideration the things life throws at you that takes time from playing.

Lets say the average number of hours a day is 4hrs per each day during the week and 6hrs per each day on weekends.(yes I know people play more then that each day.)

So is there a way to do it based on what I just said? If so please let me know. I would like to open up more gear and weapons. I want to be able to play Gold on a daily basis and not feel like I'm being carried or people thinking I don't know how to play.

Pleas keep it clean and be respectful.

Discussion Is Open

Have A Good Day


Edit---
I played the game from day one. Only a few hours a week. I've just started to have more time to play starting in September. I also haven't done all the weekend challenges coz I didn't have time to do them. Family and work mostly. So that just about sums it up.

Maxing the manifest takes around 1000h of platinum. For us long timers platinum wasn't there for the first half, effectively cutting income in 50% for half pour career, so make that 1200-1300h. So the simple answer is "play 4h+ per day since release", the even more simple answer is that the vast majority of players with maxed manifests has shelled out significant amounts of real money to get it. Money that is founding the development of ME4, I salute their dedication.

I have a long way to go, and I played since day 1 too. I have been playing lots of other games too, and I have two young kids and work 12 hr shifts, so I dont play as much as I would like. I can't play right now for example because my lovely cuddly 2yr old son is watching pingu on my lap as I type.

My sig shows what I have unlocked, and I mostly have a bit of everything at least.

[born2beagator]

Played about 750 hours since launch mostly Gold and then platinum still have over 60 URs to go.

[GallowsPole]

Im disabled, so yeah I played a ton. More importantly, however, I was extremely lucky when it came to the store for the first half a year. After my 2 month hiatus to play Skyrim though, I wasn't so lucky and it took a lot to finish it up.

Yeah I know that the shelled out real money. That is the thing. I'm not shelling out real money. Not when my kids need things for school or doctor appointment or bills that need to be paid things of that nature. I didn't have 7hrs a day to play when I first got the game from jumpstart. I was lucky to have 7hrs a week of play time then. Now its different I have more time but I'm not using real money to buy packs that I get crappy things from.

Sorry if I came off as an ass.

Play lots of gold and platinum. I know this sounds dumb to say, but thats really the only thing you can do to max your manifest eventually. If you have a group of friends you can learn speedrunning watching the countless youtube videos (if you don't know how to that is) and speed up the process

Ok yes I know how speed runs are done. I've done a few with the friends who was still playing and that is how I maxed out my common and uncommon weapons and opened up some of my characters.

Now that my reg. friends are no longer playing that isn't an option any more. I get kicked to much due to low gear. So now I'm stuck playing silver. Just like I was stuck playing bronze.

Anyways.....

Personally I find my job less boring than speed running, so I'd rather put in an hour of over time and buy store credit

You can play all the Gold/Plat games you want. The only way to a quick manifest is to appease the RNG Gods. You can shell out tons of real money and still not have a complete manifest.

I remember when I had just two kids and worked 12hr shifts.

I just keep getting crappy stuff. Even with the few Gold games I've been able to play. Also with having more time I still don't have time.

So anyways....

It's simple, you just have to sacrifice your social life.

[cgj]

it's all up to luck&time if you never fail a game

with my luck, i'll be dead before i max my manifest
if you want a number, my last UR drop finally came after over 40 psp of nothing but ammo

[Kenadian]

Plat grinding. Especially with skilled friends. Makes plat easy mode.

That is easy to say and would be easy to do if I didn't have kids and a wife and grown up responsibilities.

Things like taking the kids to the docs. and school and other after school functions.
Taking wife to work when needed. Taking mother to docs or other things.
Just the ave 16hr work days 12hrs if I'm lucky.

You know just the little things that is life.

Anyways...

Well then, alternate answer: (if you have the same luck with the RNG store as myself and thats a big if ) I maxed my manifest today, after roughly 1000 h. of gameplay, half of which gold and some platinum, 99.9% pugs. 
Edit - oh, and you have a good day too

Wow.
I'm just starting and that is a good question.
I have spent real money on packs and got stuff I can't use yet. So I'm not one to talk.

As for what has been said. Yeah time would be the one major thing also using real money.
However if you don't have on or the other or both then it can be hard.

And just off topic I've noticed people using your little thing of have a good day. I know you don't do it to be an ass. It's something you've always use. Its just your thing. You say it even when your not in a good mood because you do want people to have a good day.

But back on topic....
Have any of you played a Plat game with a house full of screaming kids?
I've seen Plat and it's not easy even with a quiet room.

That's just about all I can say. I'll just keep on grinding it out. Soon I'll get good stuff and be playing silver. Then maybe my manifest will come along.

[cato potato]

There's no great secret to it. You just have to buy a lot of packs from the store, gold and platinum give the most credits so you need to play more gold/platinum.

Ok, that is all fine and dandy. However someone like me who is just now starting out can't play Gold and Plat and would not be useful in Silver on the ave.

Most players kick you if you have low gear. I've been kicked on Bronze an ave. of 60x before I even get a chance to gear up with anything. Even on times when I jump into a game on wave 2 and play all the way to the end and top at 1st or 2nd I still get kicked. Of course most players on Bronze have a N7 of 2300. So I can see my little N7 of 20 getting kicked.

Just keep on grinding.

To w0lfam0da1s---Oh and before I forget I hope you get better. I know that being immobile is a pain not just for you but for the wife and kids.

I maxed mine yesterday, but I wouldn't call 788H 10M 47S "quickly". I haven't spent any real money for MP, but I play a lot of regular Platinum games and I completed about 50 Platinum speedruns.
