Throw money away all the time on Spector packs. All the goodies are
In them. Cyclonic IV, warp and AP IV
The jumbo packs suck. It's like buying a cheeseburger without
Bunz.
And you just end up with lots of Cryo rounds and stuff.
I'll take the big prize all day because I can.
Do you think that's wrong? Too bad. I have 30 mil so I'm spending
Them
ALL OF THEM

This topic is already at page 2, so I read none of it.

 

But will say I saved a ton of cash once for what seemed like a 3hr shopping spree a JC penny with a grill.

Things can get boring when the forum doesn't revolve around me.

There's nothing quite like the narcissistic shell that often wraps itself around an inadequate personality.

Save? what's that, I spend credits

the moment I get them more or less. I like to see my useless vanilla

human XP cards, cyro rounds IV, stability rounds III right away in my 

race to empty my credit chit. 

Meh, I have a maxed manifest though so I would 

call myself lucky, to

me  it doesn't matter whether or not I get anything decent

when I open a pack because I know 

it's all going to be junk anyway. And when I save it takes so much 

time to open a ton of packs one by one, 

to the point that I pretty much refuse to 

save and spend more than about 300k at once. Anything in the game that keeps me from playing with

Turians for more than a few minutes isn't worth the effort, 

I'll get bored if I have to sit for ten minutes just opening packs in the store. 

F u c k how long it takes to buy and open each pack individually. 

Everyone can surely agree, especially 

on this forum, that we need the ability to bulk buy packages and open all of them all at once in the next game. 

BSN, please bring this idea up so that Bioware understands

including such a feature in the next game is important! I want it to be a priority to 

them!

What this comes down to is math.
If the probabilities don't change,
I have to say I don't care if I can
convince you or not: It doesn't matter how
you spend your credits. It's natural
that we develop little superstitions around
a phenomenon we can't control, like spending
few or many credits at once to unlock
Turians or Quarians or weapon mods (or whatever
will make a player happy. Those beliefs
die over many purchases, though,
unless empirical evidence simply can't sway
you from confirmation bias.

Give it a try; it's not as though you can't do this
yourself. Next time you have credits
to spend, just take some notes.
One long spending spree should be enough.
BSN will happily correct any of the
regular mistakes you might make
with your statistical analysis.

A twist on the old
Latin phrase, "Let the buyer beware":
Name it, instead, "Let the buyer be aware". Okay
?

Thank you for revolving these last two posts around me. They were a great read. ... I don't think the rest of BSN posts are about me any more, so I shall hit the mark forum read button and disappear until more BSNers decide to feed my powers... or actually make some interesting ME3mp posts. Which ever comes first. ... or better yet, I fix my WiiU connection and start playing again. ie, to burst BSN bubble, I get most of my powers from actually playing ME3mp.

 

 

... the giant bag of Kooosh is still very large and full. Haven't been touching it lately. No reason to without ME3mp pugging.

I think we should focus on the math side more. No
wonder we got so annoyed by it because of
how low the rates are. If you put a man in this situation,
he'll obviously get superstitious and
react accordingly, getting annoyed.
When you give him some fair rates instead,
he behaves rationally and just enjoy what he has
finally conquered. All of this only because he now
understands.

ZOMG YES!!!!  

I hate shopping in the BSN store, just as much as I HATE shopping in real life.  

 

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just tell the store that you have 'x' amount of credits, and you want to spend it ALL on spectres, or half of spectres and premiums? Instead of that iterative process of hitting that damn button over and over and over and over...

Cassandra? Yeah you could.

probably ask for some favours, ask if one of the biomods

has some of the "program for the store" or

a bit of inspiration you could work with. After all, we all became much better at this game when we had

bigger data and discovered goofy things like the Turian Cabal/Biotic Focus

Javelin wallhack glitch.

<----- Maxed Manifest / White Girl Problems.   

 

 

Been over a year since I did that. So my spending habits don't apply to anything anymore..Just buy packs as I need to refill stuff. I never play Platinum ( PUGz broke my spirit ) so all my Level 4 stuff is just stacking. When I play Gold I use Level 1 & 2 consumables the majority of the time..I use Level 3's as my 1-2's are running out and I don't feel like going to the store. RNG still refuses to give me any Level 3 Shotgun / AR amps or Drill rounds.  I use Incid ammo and Drill rounds the most.

I'd usually just max out the basic consumables with JEP's and 

let Spectre packs give me stuff without

the basic consumables. I don't know which

human being designed this dumb store system. It's like driving your

race car only on the days when you roll a

die and it comes up 6. It feels so

out of touch with reality.

i still dont get the point to spam credit on (JEP) stuff you dont want to get latter when u spam credit on SP

I always just spent what I had at the end of a session on PSPs and Arsenal packs.  Now that my manifest is maxed, it's all JEPs and SPs.

I have about 3 to 4 million and usu
ally only top up when ops go below
255. Definately a compulsive horde
r.

In a way it keeps the game going fo
r me, knowing I still have a few UR
to get.

I once didn't open a xmas present
until boxing day because of my ho
rdeness. But it was a PSP anyway,
(handheld, not the pack).

Awesome thread 10/10

 

Blame it on not enough ME3 player playing and too many retired. 

 

 

 

... Oh wait, you're retired too. Then you shouldn't complain. (I mean, when was the last time you started a great thread or made a great post?)
