I love the Reserve Packs. I'm going for the N7 Mastery challenge and one of the perks of getting a character card is that you get a lump of XP with it too. So I hit 20, promote, buy cards and get XP so I don't have to slog through the horrors of level 1.

I tried the Volguard but even with 4 biotic orbs specced for cooldown and a +200 weapon I never really felt that much faster than a novaguard. I wanted a crazy biotic pinball damnit!

Greetings gentlemen. Geth Engineer is supposed to be gold aka rare. Ive got most of the other classes but Geth Engineer eludes me. I'm gay for Salarians so it isnt the greatest crime on earth but is there some rite Im missing to get the Geth Eng? Should I sacrifice a blonde woman from the 80s on top of an art deco toaster? Construct an opera from spinning old floppy drives and 56k modems? I was told once a regular spectre pack increases chances for regular rares. Tell me this is true. I bought uncommons for the Mattock and it was literally the last uncommon thing to get. I had everything else at 10 before getting rank 3 on the mattock.

Spectre pack is a guarenteed rare, but the new reserve pack has a higher character chance along with two gold cards.

And the Reserve Pack before that gave me a Particle Rifle  I don't even know anymore. And when I was trying to buy packs the Store took FOREVER with the loading screens while I was buying. And the glitchyness of this game will never cease to amaze me. The first game I get into, all the enemies are invisible to me, there is literally no way for me to see them, no red box or anything, the only thing I saw was the Collector web once. And they were blocking my way once cause they kept staggering me. I would watch my team shoot at seemingly nothing. The killfeed didn't show up either.

I still think spectre packs are the best overall, because I get so much equipment that I can keep wasting level 3 ammo and poo poo on silver matches to make them more fun.

If you're just trying to get everything buy regular spectres. You get the best ultra rare/credit rate out of those in addition the extra gel, consumables and silver gear.

That sounds completely backwards... I don't believe I've ever gotten an UR in a regular SP. The fact that they bothered making Arsenal and Reserve packs is making me highly suspect there's going to be one more big DLC, because those packs have got to be targeted at the obsessives who spend Real Money as soon as new guns come out. Basically I just want FemTurianAdept and a couple more Salarians. And a Prothean.

Oh, and do Arsenal Packs have a higher chance for Gear, or is that Reserve Packs, or neither? Because I'm really sick of having Omni-Capacitors sitting at level II.

No hard data because Bioware won't release it but alot of people are tracking drops rates and comparing them and although you do get more UR's per pack with PSP's it's not a big enough difference to make up for the the 39K spacebux. I've gotten a lot of UR's out of regular spectres since making the switch, but I haven't been keeping exact numbers. This blogger has been keeping numbers.

Managed to get a particle rifle IV and V out of a reserve pack. I know the drop rate is only skewed towards characters and it isn't a given, but drat. Slapped it on my destroyer with incendiary ammo and some amps. I forgot how much fun that setup was.

It seems possible for Bioware to carve just a few more niches into the current MP roster without going totally overboard into redundancy, especially if a couple missing SP powers were implemented. Thematic consistency be damned, everybody wants Protheans!

Speaking of Lift Greandes, what's a good build for the Asari Vanguard these days? Is skipping Stasis a good idea? I'm assuming that the playstyle will be similar to the Drell Vanguard, which I love. Charge -> Grenade in face.

My current setup is 6/3/6/5/6, but I'm thinking of eliminating Stasis entirely as I mostly just use it for grabbing Phantoms and the occasional Possessed Abom.

I never use Stasis anymore. Those days have gone the way of Always Be Sniping and Decoy being useful.

Thematic consistency be damned, everybody wants Protheans! I hope they would make more new powers if they're going to add any more characters because the last batch had some good stuff in it but kind of showed that the idea well was starting to run dry. 4 out of the 6 new biotic characters had warp which seemed pretty lazy. The outlook for things like Slam and Dominate ever seeing the light of day is pretty grim too based on the dev comments on BSN. They've talked about it but the conclusion seems to be that it would take a lot of work to make them useful/balanced in multiplayer so they're just not going to use them. Maybe the tech powers have a chance, Defense Matrix doesn't seem like it would be that unbalanced, especially when you consider that Shield Boost was added and has a similar shield restoring mechanic that is an easily spammable AoE. Defense Drone isn't particularly useful though. Maybe on an engineer focused on CQC but they'd have to buff the damage a lot to make it worth using.

Another resource suggests a drop rate of about 1 in 7 in PSPs, but of course it's unconfirmed. If the chance of an ultra-rare dropping in place of a guaranteed rare is the same for each rare slot in SPs and PSPs, then that suggests SPs would have a drop rate of about 7.5% and PSPs are the better deal. So basically nobody knows for sure.

I like the Havoc, but we just found that four of them don't really seem to do enough damage for everything to not be a complete stim-pack gobbling mess where the first one to get staggered for a second dies and starts the revive-tango. It's pretty crazy having four of em in one match.

It's probably their answer for the tiered things resetting in this case, since they likely didn't want to force people to play a lot of platinum just to get it.

Yeah I know it's not enough of a sample size to be conclusive but it's the only numbers I've seen that wasn't crowd source to BSN idiots who were loving up the numbers by including Volus drops. It's enough numbers for me to consider in evidence in favor of spectres but it's certainly not a large enough sample to conclusive. Two Finger posted:I'm at 8/8 for Squad Elite but it won't unlock. Anyone come across this? It doesn't reset by design. They don't want people stuck with it partially done whenever they stop running weekend ops. I think it's stupid but it's working as intended.
