Only if we are counting mass effect 3 after dlcs. At launch meA was way harder to max and it hasn't had a significant amount of dlc yet.

Not exactly. If you enjoy the game and play it, you will accumulate credits. And, presumably, you will exchange those credits for packs. Perfectly normal. I was referring to spending cash, using the pre-patch "guarantee" of one N7 UR for every 10 Expert packs, which I can confirm was correct. My finding is that, for Expert Packs, that is no longer the case. Whether it works out better with Premium packs, I can't say. I have no way to verify it because my manifest is now maxed. If I did need a few more UR ranks, I'd be perfectly willing to check out the Premium pack drop rates, and purchase the need Andromeda Points. I have 3,000 left, which I will save for any new DLC characters/weapons, IF there are any forthcoming. Thanks for testing with regular expert packs. I did the same as you, with Premium packs, and the pity timer is there from what I saw. I got 10 URs out of 40 boxes total, and an UR every 10th Premium box on the dot. Okay, thanks for testing. The "old" way, you would have gotten 6 N7 UR's out of 60 Expert Packs. A much better deal, because along with those extra 2 URs, you would have had consumables from 20 additional packs for the same money spent. I've seen people posting that the drop rate for Premium packs has increased, but your test doesn't confirm that at all.

I didn't spend a lot on "Bioware Points" in ME3, though. I maxed my manifest mainly through playing a lot and buying Spectre packs. I stayed away from Premium Spectres because I found that Spectres had about the same UR drop rate, for less credits. Kinda the same thing here - well, BEFORE they fucked with the Expert pack "pity" drop.

I have been boycotting since DAI.
No DAI DLC purchased - I own all DLC for all previous games on my list.
No ME:A, and now I am pretty sure I won't be buying it at any price. It is just obviously bad, and my friends - I don't blame you for trying. I was that close.

Quoted from the reddit link posted earlier www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/6bx75e/just_opened_20_expert_packs_not_a_single_ur/dhql84p/"[–]BWE_ehlien 36 points 4 hours ago
We fixed a bug earlier today that was causing incorrect drop rates to occur for Expert packs. The rates you and other players uncovered aren’t what our team designed them to be, so we introduced a server-side fix to correct the issue.
While this fix was deployed this morning, there was a brief window this morning where Expert and Premium packs were not giving the new, intended drop rates. We’re looking into this issue and for ways to remedy the situation for affected players."
It's not like the coding wasn't their to begin with; they clearly already knew what the drop rates % chance was from the get go. It's all about the cash grab through micro-transactions, and this "pity timer" was hurting their number one priority; profit. What a joke.

We'd need to wait for the big boys to farm 10-15 million credits to get a larger sample.

I don't know. I'm still getting an UR 1/10 expert packs. After the patch, it was looking bad. I kept spending credits and getting nothing, but then it caught back up to 1/10. I do have all the gears, rares at X and characters at X. All I need now are UR and the expert packs are still giving me one every 10 packs. I get 1-2 UR a day. If you don't have all your rare guns and characters at X yet, maybe the % isn't as good. I also suspect my % is good because I also gave sucker cash to BW so the store is taking pity on me.

I've had really decent luck with the RNG store. I was getting incredible % buying premium packs but then I read the post about 1/10 packs, expert or premium. Ever since then, I've been buying expert packs and getting an UR every 10 packs. I'm not getting the same incredible % but I'm loading up on consumables. Post patch, I was worried the 1/10 packs wouldn't work anymore as I spent 600k and got nothing, but then I spent 400k and got 3 UR so I think the approximate 1/10 is still in affect. Once you have all characters at X and all rare guns at X, you really should be buying expert packs. I'm getting 1-2 UR every day by spending 600k-1mill. If you have the time and the horse power, please grind to something like 2 million credits and do a video capture of you opening boxes. A number of people are reporting that the pity timer for Expert packs is not there anymore, so consistant data would be appreciated by all.

In my updated post, I state that I have all rare guns and characters at X already so maybe that is why my UR are still dropping 1/10 packs. Higher level UR are the only thing I have left to get. Yesterday and today, I saved up 400k and spent it and got nothing so I played some more for 150k more and got my UR for the day.

So thats why recorded evidence would be prefered before we can do blanket statements.

Alright. I'll try to do a video this weekend if I can. I would love to get another UR to X. I really want a higher level Hurricane and Black Widow, but the store keeps giving me Valiants and Piranhas 😀😀. Btw, the URs are better now, but the Shadow X beats every one of them except the Piranha if conditions are just right for the Piranha. I'm not so hung over UR as my Shadow X is the best gun in the game.

Still missing the Piranha though :/, Bioware keeps giving me Gladiator and PAW.
