The science of RNG

I kept track for a long time is ME3, however that data is lost due to a HD failure a couple years ago, off the top of my head the only thing I seem to recall was I received a better drop rate of the UR's in packs I purchased, I believe and stand to be corrected I did better than the group that was giving me data by starting with the entry level packs (with game points) to get all the basic weapons then going to a higher pack for UR's.

This time around I highly doubt I will buy packs like I did in ME3, being retired with a fair amount of time I will just play it out, also ME3 was my first MP game and I had little to no friends, that has all changed, before friends I remember camping FB White in silver and praying for extraction against Geth, long before the bombers....kind of funny as the majority of us can now solo that map easy...

There are still items in ME3 the store still rarely gives me, hope that is better balanced this time around, Power Amps, Ar Amps and Power Amps just seem to avoid me.

As long as it's not as terrible as Destiny's slot machine RNG was...

I haven't seen this mentioned on the forum yet, so this seems a good place to drop it.

Looks like this would be the alternative currency they referred to before.

Pure speculation on my part, but I'm assuming this is what you will need to purchase individual items from the rotating store and will be earned at a much lower rate then the credits used to buy the nonrotating RNG packs. I think that would make more sense than rotating the intentory of every pack every week (or whichever period of time). Unless it's confirmed that's how it works, then disregard this section.

I quickly threw something together to see what such a sheet would look like (discarded the forms idea - it's easier but takes way too long to enter data):



The three saturated columns are the ones where the data goes, the rest is calculated. Let me know what you guys think and if you'd be interested in using this.

If enough people are interested I might add buttons (which is ridiculously tedious in Sheets) so you just have to click instead of entering a new number into the counter fields.

As long as it's not worse than ME3MP's loot system, I'm okay.

As long as we dont get copies of the same weapon or there is a limit too how many times you upgrade weapons. Like ME3 X or 10 was the limit.
