Expert Packs 1.07: 14 millions credit Data

One person doesn't make it confirmed. Who else wants to man up and buy 14MM credits worth of Expert packs?

You are not guaranteed a UR on your 10th pack. If someone could help me with how to share videos off of xbox live, I can show you. I opened 10 UR packs in a row last night, exhausting my last Rares in the 9th pack and I only got consumables in the 10th pack. I received 3 URs in the previous 9 packs.

Strange! Then I don't know if and how the pity timer works.

Thanks, man. Doesn't seem to want to play the videos in my browser, but I assume it's working for others.

As one of those players who's dropped a few twenties on the game, I assure you that I won't be anymore.

What's the point, w/out any guarantee of UR after spending twenty bucks?

Not everyone who spends does so as an impulse. I haven't spent money on any other entertainment since ME:A launched, so it's not much, and I was doing so every now and then because at least the mystical pity timer might get me 1 UR per paycheck.

I definitely won't be spending any more money on packs now, though, as I was already doing my best to justify the expense prior to 1.06.

I've got 4 UR cards out of 20 Premium packs today, a bit of 3+1 actually, depends if you wanna take into account character cards. I guess I was being lucky.

Are you even old enough to know about Dawson's Creek?

As someone who opened 200 PPs before switching to EPs, I'd say that there is the same pity timer for PPs unless they changed it with 1.07. I had a couple of UR droughts while opening PPs and I always got an UR if I didn't get one after 9 consecutive PPs.
My guess is that they only changed the drop rates for expert packs since there was not a reason to go for PPs due to the (almost) same UR/MP credits ratio besides more UR boosters.
So, all in all, I think it's not that big of a deal except it now takes longer until we get the pleasure and excitement of opening PPs since they are twice as expensive compared to EPs. Also, in my case I usually save up until I can open 10 packs, so now I'd have to save up a whopping 1 million MP credits. Well, maybe I should change it to 5 PPs per day.
In any case, the more I play the more it baffles me how they could possibly release the game in this state. SP aside MP was obviously in a beta state and only recently has become somewhat balanced. And only now "fixing" something as sensitive as this I don't even...I'm really looking forward to taking a break from this game. Almost got my last human male soldier to level 20. Not going to bother with all the fine tuning the kits and challenges for a while.

I just spent 550k again tonight. I usually save 400-600k before spending. The 1/20 drop rate didn't seem to affect me. I bought all expert packs. If anything, it's better than before. Not sure if it's a server bug for just today. I might go save another 400k tonight and try again in case the server is giving out UR like water tonight.

Apparently we still get the same amount from premium packs. So besides the 10th-pack-guarantee, you need to be 'in luck'.
