The ultra rare system in this game needs a serious overhaul asap

The n7 grind in this game is absolute cancer compared to when me3 launched. In me3 there were like 7 ultra rares at launch so you had a good chance of getting the weapons you wanted within a decent timeframe.


Meanwhile this game has 12 or 13 weapons and 5 x10 character cards.....


I'm 8000 apex rating and still don't have a piranha or hurricane 1, they are the only ultra rares I actually want unlocks for other than the angara avenger. I've grinded A LOT. I have the other weapons but they are all garbage (ok bw isn't garbage but it's worse than vanq). I'm pretty sure if this was me3 I'd have most of my ultra rares around level 3-4 by now, and I'd probably t least have 1 or 2 levels for the guns I wanted.


If you're gonna make us grind this hard for n7 stuff at least make the items worth a damn. The ultra rares in this game need some serious buffing. If they keep it like this people are gonna stop playing because it's not fun to grind for 3-4 hours for an ultra rare and then it's an 80% chance that it's a garbage one you won't want to use. It takes the exitement out of opening packs and completing games when the odds of getting a good item are so abysmal.

Many ultra rares wouldn't be a problem if they were good but now they are mostly trash, the guns in particular but most of the classes are pretty uninspired as well. Hell, only the operator and the avenger actually has a unique skill, you'd think that ultra rare classes would be more distinguished from the normal ones in terms of abilities if it's gonna be this hard to max them out. Compare the current bunch of 'ultra rare'' classes to classes like the turian ghost, n7 destroyer, n7 shadow or fury for example, then they seem very ordinary.

Some of the items in the ultra rare pool just baffle me, the valkyrie, eagle, ushior and dhan for example. Valkyrie has like a 3rd of the dps it had in 3 and it wasn't considered very good there. Eagle is way worse than equalizer in every way. Ushior basically does the damage a paladin did, but with 1 shot..... I'm pretty sure paladin originally got buffed because it was too weak, and it ended up being a 3 in the mag 424 damage at level 1 pistol in the end. But a 500 damage ushior with 1 in the mag is what we get in this game? What? Wraith got buffed a ton to where it eventually did 940 damage at level 1. Meanwhile in this game we get the dhan, and it's basically a wraith in terms of mag zise and firerate but has 580 damage or something.

Again, just why?  Why give us all these nerfed trash guns when snipers still do the same damage? If weapons do lower damage across the board because enemy health values were different, cool, but snipers still do the same damage numbers or even higher so clearly thats not the case. 

And then you have gun like the soned which is a piece of crap compared to typhoon and harrier, Naladen is bad compared to krysae, rozerad again just seems really bad, the crusader has been heavily nerfed since 3 even though that wasn't op either.

I sure hope they adress this soon, making the ultra rare grind this long in terms of time investment needed and then making the rewards so poor is just so unfun.
