I don't know how did this happened but right now I'm hoarding 250 packs of thermal clips but 0 missile launcher and medigel...

randomness my ass

Nope, I'm over that piece of shit scam game.

3 spectre packs, 10 veteran packs, and like 4 of those essential veteran packs that went up last weekend. I'm over it, Bioware can go fuck themselves, I haven't unlocked a single character other than a salarian engineer I got in my first pack.

I can understand the idea behind the randomness - there is a certain amount of loot lust that comes with opening a new booster pack, and a rush when you get something great - but if you get really unlucky then the opposite feeling happens.

I think it would have been smart for Bioware to make it so that the higher your N7 rank, the more likely it is to give you want you want. Not sure how exactly, since some people might want gun upgrades instead of missing class/guns, but those are just details.

They recently added that new pack with only consumables in it, so I wouldn't be surprized if they eventually put up limited time packs for 'guns' or classes' to help people that get screwed by the RNG.

It's a real shame, I was absolutely loving it when I was playing with friends and the co-op is genuinely fun for a bit.

But man did Bioware force it to become stale all on their own.

Lo and behold! I finally unlocked the Salarian Infiltrator. I had that class in my starter pack in the demo. I really loved it then, and yes, it still is amazingly powerful.

Cloak ---> Energy Drain ---> Spamming Raptor on the Head ===> Insane DPS

Love it! Now all that's left to unlock is the Quarian Engineer and a whole lot of ultra rare weapons (...and of course still quite a lot of redundant bullcrap!). Oh - I'm like lvl 520... what a cruel joke on my behalf.

Well, at least you have the only class that matters.

I just spammed Recruit packs to get all standard weapons to X the first several 100k. Most efficient, very fast to do and the stats are really much better than higher grade weapons on rank 1. Additionally it saves you the hassle of unlocking recruit tier gear on your expensive packs. When I see people with a N7 rating of several hundreds with rank 1 or 2 weapons I just shake my head.

Oh goodie. This session I earned 3x Spectre Packs... and got 3x Geth Pulse Rifle out of it.

Infuriating. I fucking hate that I respond to hate. I HATE THIS SO MUCH. I CAN'T STOP PLAYING.

Alternatively, I brain the stupid assholes responsible for this unholy unlock scheme with a rock and be done with it.

Oh hell yes - just *dinged* N7-lvl 595... and I finally unlocked the Quarian Engineer. Seems appropriate really. That's sarcasm, just to be clear.
