EA owns them. They don't need contracts like that. Contractual obligations with investors to deliver a product to market by a certain time when a project needs discrete financing makes sense and happens a lot. But that's definitely not what was going on here.

The reason I am not in chat I see I'm on iPad and can't seem to log into Twitch. The reason I'm on iPad is I am home sick. No salad!!! Soup hopefully. Getting sick and eating soup? I always knew he was secretly a dirty suit rat.

All characters Rare upcoming, weapon is UR They haven't spent their funds to open packs to get variants, maybe Rich Volus Uncle can help them with his program? Next prize mouse mat Well I sure wish they would try the mod variants so they could see how almost all of them are varying degrees of 'wouldn't use even if you didn't have to buy them with thousands of mission funds'.

The heavy clips and the scopeless accuracy mods are pretty good. I pretty much always use the heavy clips now instead of the regular ones.

Agreed, Pistol targeting system is great. the assault rifle version is broken after rank 1 though, the remaining ranks have the same stats as the recon scope currently. Melee and magazine mods that only add weight are pretty good. The barrels are across the board bad.
Then there is the barrier to entry, high MF cost and uncommon and rare mods only having a 33% chance of being purchasable any given week.

Last week: "Going to hold off. Still working out dates. Rather than put out some dates and then have to change it, will get them right and then publicize. (paraphrased)"
This week: "October then November!" No specific dates given. October 5th? October 12th? 19th? November 2nd? November 9th? Also no dates given for "quality of life" improvements. When are we getting balance changes and ARs that are worth a damn? When are the new packs coming?
Why weren't we given this info last week? The only thing we learned was that we're getting the Commando and Guardian simultaneously. We already knew everything else. They did too. Were we just waiting on the art work? Fuck these people piss me off.

Melee and magazine mods that only add weight are pretty good. The barrels are across the board bad.
Then there is the barrier to entry, high MF cost and uncommon and rare mods only having a 33% chance of being purchasable any given week.
The biggest problem is that -- with the very notable exception of the common pistol accuracy mod, which is great at rank 1 -- none of the mod variants' bonuses surpass the base mods until they're near max rank. So, until rank VII-VIIIish you're taking on a penalty and offsetting that penalty with a lesser bonus. Assuming you level the variants of a given rarity at a relatively even pace and don't get a lucky run of one of the good mod variants, e.g. AR Heavy Mag, you have no return on your investment until you've thrown ~4k* or ~8k MF at the uncommon or rare mod variant pools, respectively. That's fine if you're crashsuit and have nothing else on which to spend MF, but for 99.99% of players (if there even are 10000 of us left), that's not a good deal. * 8 uncommon mods x 70 MF per mod level x rank 7 = 3920. I believe rares are double the price (140 MF/level) but don't recall for sure, and they're not in the store currently, so I can't check.

I believe rares are double the price (140 MF/level) but don't recall for sure, and they're not in the store currently, so I can't check. 16 common mod variants x rank 10 x 35 MF = 5,600 MF, rank 7 would be 3,920 MF
9 uncommon mod variants x rank 10 x 70 MF = 6,300 MF, rank 7 would be 4,410 MF
8 rare mod variants x rank 10 x 120 MF = 9,600 MF, rank 7 would be 6,720 MF
I have bought all the bronze ones, I'm interested in getting the silver ones but I don't have all the regular silver mods because I started the game late and don't want to buy all the uncommon variant weapons first to get them. (That's a different complaint, I get one every few 100k packs at least) For now I guess i'll just save my MF and either wait for uncommon mods to be available for sale or just get the occasional Ultra Rare. As I said earlier the stats on the rare mod variants are so terrible I wouldn't bother even if my interest holds out that long.

IMHO mods are not worth it. On the other hand, I spent 960 MF on UR weapon and got valkyrie IV which sucks really badly and I still have not unlocked 3 UR guns. In single player, valkyrie with full auto and vintage sink had mad recoil but at least did some damage and did not hurt my finger whereas this pos tickles the enemies and even that is only on host. Off host it just fires into nowhere. I'm almost done though. I still need to level 4 characters to 20: Turian soldier, avenger girl, gladiator and salarian infiltrator. The latter is almost there at level 18. And I planned to wrap up backlash challenge to complete biotic mastery and then I'm done with Meda. And timing should be almost perfect as Mgamerz will hopefully patch up the new ME3 DLC CAT6 mod to enjoyable condition.

At least you've yet to experience the disappointment of seeing a UR card turn over to reveal a Bulwark Valkyrie.

November husband and wife team with Warp. Pair well together. N7 day will be covered when they get closer to it. QOL improvements looking into Pack sfor mods and ammo, free Apex Elite may have more missions celeb quote a few over next mnths So, another month for the Artificer, and the Warp kits will drop together, but two months after everyone's quit. So much for the last tenuous thread holding me to those brief logins to complete the dailies. A new character might've kept me around for another few weeks, but no, we didn't even get new fucking gear again this week. Did you expect to have "fun" again? Warp at the end is the "big finale" Also, who was it that quoted "QOL?" Ammo for just my dhan and hurricane isn't quality of life...its quality of the only 2 weapons in the game (there were others, but after even more experience, these 2 together fit every class and every job in the game) lol in 2 months I will still be around, don't know if MEA will though. Just to see where things sat, I popped into bronze and witnessed only 2 different lobbies. Now this isn't any proof of anything, but only 2 lobbies available in the easiest difficulty at prime NA time? One thing I have noticed, is that the twitch is basically "fluff." Nothing really getting implemented and resolved, but you know what I haven't seen... that poster of MEA stats like ME3 had. Which by all purposes... is fluff...

Thursday's my busiest day of the week and 10 AM PT/12 PM CT is the worst possible slot. Can you ask them next week? I played ME3MP plat for 4+ years. I didn't have to wait for more than a minute any time of the day if i ever tried to pug, because the playerpool didn't get split 3 ways (PC/PS4/Xbox) on it. Splitting the player pool 3 ways is the WORST thing that happened to this game. A few really good players that i played with for 4 years are stuck on PS4 this time around.

O, I definitely agree it would be a good move. I just don't think it's going to happen, though. I'm not a IT expert but I imagine it would take a patch to make it possible.
I also don't have a Twitch account and don't feel particularly inclined to get one for just one question...

(1) There won't be another stream until next month. Date was not provided. (2) WTF are you talking about? ME3MP did not have a unitary playerbase either. PC/XB/PS players were segregated in that game as well.
