I didn't want to believe it was RNG all this time, but holy crap.
Literally EVERYTHING is a god damn mismanaged failure about Andromeda? Getting mission funds to buy the equipment weekly was the one thing I thought I had control over, and did weekly. How wrong I was.

It's not so bad. IF you plan on playing the game for a year, everything will drop eventually, spreading it out is fine. However, if you want to have everything immediately, this is obviously terrible. I personally HOPE to be playing a year from now (I will go through the campaign several times eventually- I haven't played it yet and I played all the previous game's campaigns a minimum of 6 times). I hope it is still possible to find a MP lobby at that point.

Lol. Good thing I missed Jug Shield the first time round.
What are the odds that they still have something in place to prevent two new pieces of equipment dropping in one week?

I'm surprised nobody brought this up in the stream, considering Fernando specifically talked about this issue three weeks back. We like the Equipment rotating through the store, but: will you ensure we get 1-2 *new* equip. ea. week? And see all new equip. within reasonable timeframe? Rather than truly random. DiscoBabaloo: JRandall0308 i'll double check, but even at random it should rotate everything through before repeating |

Hah! Apparently Fernando was wrong that the rotation would force the new Equipment to rotate in before going to all repeats. Bummer! This is why I was skeptical of their "10% chance" claim on variant drops. I'm of the thinking that either: (a) the customer facing folk aren't understanding what the developer/programmer is telling them, Or: (  they don't know how to program/QA (or have a firm understanding on how probabilities play out) So now if we instead assume we can ignore any weighting, it'll likely take a fair # of weeks to get them all. Really disenchanted with the whole thing (variants, RNG, uncreative massively repetitive daily challenges funneling near all PUGs into just those or APEX, and no more support). Played ME3 enough to get BotB on XBOX and PC (and I'm no BSN star). 100 hrs here and I think this is bye for now. |

This *should* be something they can still adjust server-side. |

ROFL. With rng determining what's available in the store, this was always possible. But that it first happened the week of the no-more-sp-content announcement is sweet, sweet karma. Rng store was dumb as hell, and this is the very best way it could bite them. Gotta have RNG for the RNG so we can RNG am I right? A lot of there decisions made no sense... Like why Mission Funds even exist. Why some items and literally ONLY be obtained with Mission Funds. Its not even a small pool of items either, its like 24000-30000 MF's worth of sh** and that's like 6 months worth of saving them, if you earned every single MF you could get in a day and never missed a beat or failed an APEX. Veteran ranks another STUPID idea at least in how it was implemented, basically makes Ultra Rare characters the weakest characters you have to play for like 99% of the community. Weapon Variants, you know because we didn't have enough f***ing bloat from the start, this game only launched with like 3 times as many UR cards as ME3 had after all its DLC came out, just putting that out there. Or how about how there is NO CAP on consumables so there is NO reliable way to get boosters anymore(comparatively to ME3), specifically ammo |
