Maybe this is old news, but I just got off the phone with EA support, and they confirmed that getting consumables as "rare" items in Reserve Packs is Working As Intended.
Opened two packs.
In one, got a Falcon, and the rep told me that the character respec counts as my other rare.
In the next one, I got a Sidewinder, an SR Receiver, and my other "rare" was Incendiary Ammo III.
Keep in mind, I still have plenty of missing rares in my manifest.
Edit: Oh, right, and of course, there's no way to escalate the case or post a complaint anywhere Bioware can see it.

Were you referred to this forum for help as a solution to that problem?

Yep. The rep told me that EA has a Community Manager here who will respond and escalate this issue to the devs. I was too tired by then to do anything but laugh.

To be fair, Billy does have an account here. But he never logs on or anything.

Have you tried Answers HQ or whatever it's called? Not that they will do anything about this; Rares are Rares to the system. It's even more fun when you get Ultra Rare boosters for your 100k. |

Are you sure the rep didn't tell you they had a community manager at "their forums" (or something like that) or did they actually say to visit uBSN? Honest question... |

Keep in mind, I still have plenty of missing rares in my manifest. Actually, Character Respecs were Gold cards in ME 3. It's... an old complaint that they could take up a Rare slot, but they've probably capped the number of respecs you can carry again. If so, then it's not too bad once you have three (or the current cap) in stock. And they can be handy to have when you want to switch something up. That could create the potential scenario where your fourth rare card was the sniper rifle receiver, of which there is a Gold version. The Sidewinder and Falcon are Gold Rares, so that would actually account for all of them. The Incendiary III Shouldn't be a Gold card, as I've seen Rank IV amps, which were the ME 3 replacement for maxed Gold Rares (and I would assume are still intended to be.) Is it possible this is a misunderstanding and you actually received 4 Rare cards? Do you remember which receiver it was? |

Is it possible this is a misunderstanding and you actually received 4 Rare cards? Do you remember which receiver it was? The Rank IV consumables are Ultra-Rare now; the rank IIIs are Rares. Pretty simple, as far as the boosters go: I = common, II = uncommon, III = rare, IV = ultra-rare. They feel a lot like they were added mostly as a big middle finger in the higher-cost packs, so that even if your manifest isn't maxed, you still have a pretty good chance of getting these instead of something more useful. I guess that's how they keep us playing... |

Fellow BSNers, please refer visitors in search of official forums here: www.ea.com/forumsAt least I 'think' this is correct. There's an official forum link and support (answershq) link over the Andromeda image. |

Yesterday I opened a Premium Pack that contained two of the Rare "new" weapons, and a Rank IV Disruptor Ammo, so it didn't take their spot.
