I consider 350 hours casual. Average an hour a day for one year and you've got everything.
I could be off on the total games needed. I'm curious how many character cards, weapons and mods of each rarity there are currently. Can't look it up for myself at the moment.
At 350 hours in ME3/DAMP you weren't anywhere near max defense or manifest/Hakkons.

It depends wether you are a collector style player - I dont desire everything, just a few good weapons and fun characters. If you are unlucky and cant get anything good at all I could sympathise.
I on the other hand have played very little and unlocked most of my gold characters, one N7, the Vanquisher, Equalizer, Thorin, and a load of medium tier and low tier weapons. Maybe im just lucky, but im content with my haul so far. Even at low ranks the good weapons seem effective.

Did you not play ME3MP? I know the character cards now work a little differently, but weapons work exactly the same. It took me over a year to get my first Krogan soldier in ME3MP. Personally, I like the RNG. I like that all my friends have all different characters and weapons unlocked. Wanting something specific and not getting it just gives me something to look forward to. I dont feel the packs are too expensive, nor are good items currently dropping too infrequently for my interest to dip. Eventually ill get bored, but hopefully thats where regular DLC kicks in to refresh it. I actually agree with this. If players could just buy whatever they wanted, everyone would be running around with TGI/Harriers or the MEA equivalent 2 days after release. This type of system ensures variety.

Not if they cost an exorbitant amount of Mission Funds. This is seriously not hard to keep in check. N7 Piranha? Sure, 10000 MF. There ya go, nobody has it 2 days after release.

can anyone explain this? why do I need to unlock everything 10 times? since we're at it, why not 100 times (hopefully in a dlc)? it only deters you from playing with whatever you unlock until that particular unlock becomes rank x. e.g. not investing time into a rare class until rank x as you won't be able to create a full build out of it. Because otherwise you'd have a full manifect within a month. I enjoyed ME3MP more and played more hours after I had a full manifest than before I had unlocked everything.

Still better than DAMP. I actually think the character cards are better than ME3. Atleast they are worth something now. Yes, better than DAMP, but only slightly so. Say you just started playing DAMP, I'd say, 50-100 hours in you'll already have a CHANCE (no matter how small) to fully unlock an endgame weapon / Lvl 27 weapon if you're being carried in NM. Here it's simply not possible as you have to go through RNG 10 times before it's fully unlocked. Both systems suck and biower cant get anything right.

I can use both UR kits and weapons at rank I on gold effectively. Your argument is invalid. in most cases you'd be better off playing another kit at rank x. rank i can be effective if it's for a very specific scenario but otherwise not really applicable imo

I enjoyed ME3MP more and played more hours after I had a full manifest than before I had unlocked everything. Cool, good for you - I would need something to play for though. I am trying to think of a solution that encompasses both options, because for me the gameplay and combat itself is reason enough to play for. What if unlocking cosmetics were the main draw? I'm thinking of things like guild wars 2 pvp where you don't have to grind to access any gameplay abilities. Or even in pve and wvw it is fairly easy to build out a character in close to maximum stats - rather then endgame carrot is all cosmetics, unlocking new skins and shiny looks for your character. I'm curious would that be enough incentive? I would be happy if all characters were accessible from the start to build up and maximise, but weapons and mods were locked behind the store.

Oh great, another shitpost from wavebend. Seriously why are you even on these forums? You seem to hate the game, all you do is moan and whine about everything.
The RNG system is fine, much better than ME3 and DAI. You get a gun to rank X and you never get it again. 450 hours to complete a manifest is really low for anybody who is even remotely enthusiastic about playing too.

Getting everything but ultra rare maxed will be easy. All they'd have to do to make me give a thumbs up is guarentee rank 1 of each weapon, character card and mod before unlocking rank 2s. The ultra rare grind will only be frustrating to those who get stuck without that rank 1 Harrier or without a character while having a rank 10 crusader or urion.

I seriously don't understand why ME:AMP has to be constantly compared to DAIMP. Different franchises, different games, hell even different missions, weapons, map layouts, mechanics etc.
Comparing it with and criticising it because of ME3MP makes complete sense, as they have much more in common.

You don't always need rank X weapons or kits with four maxed out skills to do well. Case in point, a Vanquisher I is already way more powerful than most other weapons. I mean, I can understand legitimate complaints like the inability to reload-cancel, bugged hitboxes or the terrible weapon balance and underpowered URs. But the I-X ranking and rng unlock system is vastly superior to the one in DAMP.

Reload-Canceling doesn't have a "look", is anything but retarded and easily doubled your dps if done perfectly. Have you ever really played ME3MP? If not, there's even less reason for me to understand why you insist on comparing ME:AMP to DAIMP...

I don't ask for much. I just want a decent sniper rifle, and a salarian infiltrator to use it on. A vanquisher would do. Instead, the game gives me 3 turian havoc soldiers when I barely have anything else. Seriously doesn't help now that barrel mods are also rare quality to further dilute the hell out of the prize pool. Being stuck with viper, shadow, and lanat makes me hate sniping, when otherwise, it's my favorite thing to do.
