I mean... I don't know where to start. I was super excited about all those changes they made and Platinum and the Batarian and new guns. I like to give Bioware credit where it's due. UNTIL I HEARD ABOUT THOSE NEW WEAPONS/CHARACTERS. Characters now go to 20? Weapons each have a Bulwark/Siphon/whateverthefuck other version so each weapon now has to be collected 4 times to X? I am sure we all realize how insanely they just diluted the loot pool? And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the grind to a certain extent and most of those weapons will work fine just as their normal version but imagine how hard it would be to let's say get the Dhan if you never have it! Theoretically, you may have to collect all other weapons x 40 times until you get a regular Dhan?! Plus, they did it in such a cheap way - by adding 3 mods to existing weapons instead of providing true real content (I wouldn't have raged if they'd added a Lancer, an Ark pistol, whatever other really *different* gun to the pool, even if they all were URs). I feel that they are insulting our intelligence at this point of time. You know quite well that they could have done the new additions in a much better way (add 1 rank for each weapon or an augment or mod + or even 3 ranks for a character). This is *clearly* such a money grab and if you're not seeing it, I recommend consulting an ophthalmologist. And I am sure that there are people who will enjoy this new cheap grind version but I know that I am not the only one offended at what Biower just did. Right? RIGHT? //Rant over. This is clearly a rage topic but I needed to do it, otherwise I would have probably ended at the bottom of a wine bottle(s). So don't hate too much, this is my coping mechanism.

It's cool to rage a bit. I'm glad you got it out.
I too am daunted by the additional options. I went from having a 90% manifest on a card-by-card basis to one that is less than 50%. Though I know it shouldn't, that bothers me. I know that now I will always get something for opening a pack for the foreseeable future, but that hasn't comforted me yet.
I am sure I will come around to the all the new options, and I will also start being able to open packs more regularly as people git gud enough to farm platinum. I'm just in shock with all the new.

I have so much residual love for Bioware from their previous endeavors and I always try to defend them in the end but this... this just broke me.

Here's my thing.... characters right now on Gold are pretty squishy. Aside from the ones that can heal themselves, replenish shields etc, there are a number of them that just can't take enough damage to produce enough DPS to kill enemies on Platinum without some help.
So they HAD to buff characters somehow. They also had to buff them where gold was still challenging for players still ranking up, working on their manifest without making it painfully easy with super powered characters.
Their solution = more cards.
I get their LOGIC. It's the execution that was stupid. For those still a distance away from a full manifest, Bioware is basically saying they're not fully ready for Platinum. For those people who maxed out their manifest, now they have more shit to collect and keep the ferris wheel of playtime/microtransactions going.

I like the character Veteran Bonus (so far.)
I don't like constantly diluting the weapon pool with reskins.

I am not saying the new weapon/mods aren't nice but the execution... Let's give you a good thing but find a way to majorly screw you up in the process... classic Bioware.

You want to boost weapons, create an additional, special, mod slot. You now add 3 new mods to rank up to 10 that can be applied to every fucking weapon. Do something similar with booster slots for characters, and you won't hear much in the way of complaints. There. It didn't take ages to come up with that, and I'm not being paid. Twats.

I know I'm a bit of a biower fanboi, but what the actual fuckity fuck is wrong with biower? "herp a derp large rng bullshit pool will make money points yarrr".
And a possible solution: I've all but maxed out rares, I think I only need a few more weapon ranks or some shit. Whatever, fuck it, don't care about sweeper or avenger s or viper s or whatever. So buying apex elite 600k (looooooool fuck you biower) packs should alleviate this bullshit. Just better hope I don't get a run of shitty infernos because then that will open up the loot pool to 30 more shitty infernos.
TL:DR - Whoever thought that making these variants cards rather than mods is clearly an EA shill who is trying to wallet rape the last vestiges of anyone who gave a fuck about a bioware game, and I hope they get their underwear mixed up with a 60 year old prostitute with scabies.
I feel better now.

Well, looks like they want to cater specifically to loyal fans who already put a lot of time in it. Same thing happened in DAI multiplayer, no surprise here. We also know, it did not end very well. Anyhow, I don't particularly care, but this means more artificial gaps between new and old players which are based on absolutely nothing but invested time. We won't get promotion lords but we are getting manifest lords with 40% more damage and 40% more health and whatever and who can OHK something on platinum with concussive black widow X which nobody has. Sadly, this also trashes any kind of limited thinking that was in this game to start with after 1.06. Now, you can just, hmmm, overpower stuff with enough effort.

Wow, what great lives people have if they're inspired to sociopathic whining towards the devs because more content has been added to a game.
Don't even pretend to be a "fanboi".

Yeah, I'm pissed.
I was just happy to be halfway done through leveling rare characters. I know I won't get to unlock URs due to a new onset of carpal tunnel (played 700+ hrs of me3 but I can't do that now). Now this? It really is unacceptable.
I'm really disappointed. My sis and I had so much hype about this game. It was basically purchased for mp alone. And now this...?

I wish I could understand the mindset behind raging over adding more content to a game. New kit = good New game mode = good Doubling the RNG pool = tedious I'm all for new content. Focus on NEW, not rehashing weapons that were already locked behind by the RNG gods. Now it'll take FOREVER to unlock the damn kineticist unless RNGeezus spares me. And that's just to get a level 1 UR card.

What I am ok with: Platinum Batarian New UR SR
What I think should have been done differently: Vet bonuses should have been obtainable by resetting char level (and possibly ONLY in that manner, it actually MAKES SENSE that way).
What I am NOT ok with: 3408563084534 weapon cards (and mods) which are the same damn weapons we already had.

Well, at least the different weapon versions at level I have the same stats as its standard level X self. Isn't this a bad thing? If that's true and I unlock the variant version of the Talon, there is no reason to ever equip the vanilla Talon. I don't like leveling up or introducing gear that utterly invalidates older gear. That's power creep and completely justifies the initial reaction to all this added RNG bloat.
