Ok here's what I've got. On the strike team tab, the mission list shows the duration of each mission, and tapping on one will additionally show me its expiration.

Does the game scale the height of the same characters randomly, or...? Anyone knows? The inquiring minds and all that.... I think it's supposed to be perspective. Kits on the far left and second from the right seem to be standing closer than the other two kits. See below for another example of this.

#8 - The challenges overview on the tab has only ever showed me my last few completed banner challenges, I've always had to tap on it to see any specific challenge progression, not sure if that's what you mean or not. #3 - I think that between time left and time to complete, it shows me one on the overview and the other when I tap on each mission, but I'll have to wait til I have new missions available to check, all mine are either completed or in progress right now. Okay, yes, in that tab I want to see the 2 Dailies rather than banner/no new items, b/c some Dailies take two or three playsessions to complete for me. and in #3 I want the "time till expired" in addition to the mission length/progress bar, because I don't want to tab to updates for each APEX to see if I have enough hours to play it in game, or should send it out. I'll let you know what I've got on #3 in about three hours, that's when the next batch of missions rolls out.

crashsuit For #3, do you see the length of the mission/progress to completion or do you get the "expires in XX hours" like in the updates? I want to see how long I have to estimate if I can do it in MP or should send a strike team. In #8, do challenges show on the first screen in summary, or do you have to click on it to see the full list with Dailies status shown on top? #8 - The challenges overview on the tab has only ever showed me my last few completed banner challenges, I've always had to tap on it to see any specific challenge progression, not sure if that's what you mean or not. #3 - I think that between time left and time to complete, it shows me one on the overview and the other when I tap on each mission, but I'll have to wait til I have new missions available to check, all mine are either completed or in progress right now.

Android here, latest app version.
#3 - I can see the expiry countdown listed right on each mission. If you're on iOS, could be an iOS specific issue.
#5 - Can't reproduce. Another iOS issue?
#8 - Challenges always shows me dailies. Another iOS issue?
Edit:
#1 - Can't reproduce. iOS?

First 1000 Premium pack videos up. Let me know if there are any issues with any of them. Disclaimer: A couple times I lost connection during runs of 100, and I think I lined the runs back up correctly, but the broken runs may be off in count by a pack. 0001 - 0100 0101 - 0200 0201 - 0259 (lost connection) 0260 - 0300 0301 - 0362 (lost connection) 0363 - 0400 0401 - 0500 0504 - 0600 (missed recording 3 packs at the beginning, but no URs in them) 0602 - 0700 (missed recording 1 pack at the beginning, but no UR in it) 0701 - 0800 0801 - 0900 0901 - 0989 (lost connection) 0990 - 1000

Yeah it would've been interesting to see the votes before the lootpocalypse happened, but it is only natural for people to vote for what is pressing to them at that moment in time. Hopefully by next week things will have calmed down regarding loot, and when people re-vote they can focus on other things. Or not! We will see. Maybe it's actually a cunning diversionary tactic. Bunch of stuff people are mad about that you can't immediately fix? Introduce something else people will get even more mad about instead.

You need screen or vid to make sure of accuracy? I write down my last 60 premium pack openings but I didn't record vids or screens. I'm certain of the data. Well, it's sort of like what JRandall0308 says. We can all pretty much trust each other here, but if anyone questions anything, it doesn't hurt to have hard evidence for backup.

I went back through the first few hundred packs from this recorded run, and with the 57 UR cards it took to max my characters, I got about 30 UR gun cards, so UR characters dropped almost twice as often as UR guns for me. Also per jadedragonmtr the UR kits will probably tend to max faster than any UR guns because there's so many fewer of them compared to guns. I kind of want to go back through my previously posted videos to see what the kit/gun weighting is for other rarities but right now I'm sick of opening/recording/counting packs. It's anecdotal, admittedly, but I've not seen much particular weighting towards kits vs weapons in reserves packs, for gold cards. I've been buying reserves exclusively for some time, as IMO maxed chars > extra ranks of guns, esp. given the lootsplosion. But I've been getting lots of weapons, regardless, ie probably as many as kit cards. I'd love it if reserve/arsenal packs exclusively dropped their respective expected card types if you still have gold cards to get, because I'm actually fed up of getting weapons instead of kit cards all the time. At least a heavier weighting would be lovely. If you can, try getting some video or screenshots next time, you could help us work out some of that stuff. I just went through the first of the videos I'm uploading so I could count gold drops in Premium packs, and I found that during the same time it took me to get the 38 gold character cards I needed to max my gold characters, only 23 or 24 gold gun cards dropped.

I'm kind of bummed that most points were put into issues with the store and pack drops vs things that affect being able to play the game properly, like game mechanics and networking issues, but I guess the people have spoken.

We need a statistician to tell us: given C characters and W weapons, if the drop rates were the same but W >> C (there are many more weapons than characters), what is the expectation? Alternatively at what point would the drop rate for C have to be boosted above W (still W >> C) before we would notice it? Seems like pretty simple math to me, assuming individual cards have the same weight, drop rate for any C would be C/(C+W) and drop rate for any W would be W/(C+W). Considering how many more UR gun cards there are than UR kit cards, though, and that I got more UR kits than UR guns, that says to me that UR kits are heavily weighted over UR guns, at least in Premium packs. Videos for first 1000 recorded Premium packs are uploading now by the way, gonna take a while but I should have links to post before I leave work today.

crashsuit if you can post a summary like "I opened 500 Premiums and got 125 URs of which 75 were characters and 50 were weapons" I am just going to take your word for it. I am too busy / lazy to view videos for all but the most extreme claims. (Like if we get another yo-yo claiming to debunk the pity RNG, I'd view video of that.) I only wrote down UR vs no UR for my last 1000 Premium packs, but when I get the chance (hopefully later today) I'll go through and note kit vs weapon numbers.

Not sure what else to say then, but Premium packs definitely leaned towards unlocking kits vs guns in my recent pack run. Not a small run either, I'm talking like 500 Premium packs, so very unlikely to be an effect of randomness. To me this says unlocks are still weighted towards kits, esp. considering the limited number of possible UR kit drops vs. the very large number of UR gun drops I could've gotten instead.

Source: Maxed all UR kits at level XX after 450 Premium packs while still having over 1000 packs to go to max guns, will post video proof in drop rate test thread over the next few days. Does it have to do with the fact that there's a lot more weapon cards than kit cards? I've been getting only weapon cards in the last 50 premium packs and my highest UR kit is at level VII and lowest is at III. Since game release, my drops of all rarities have been weighted for kits vs guns, and for guns vs mods.

Can someone remind me what happens on Reserve packs when you have all of your Rare characters? I seem to remember people getting boosters instead of Rare weapons. Is that still the case? If it is, then Reserve packs would have to treat Rare Characters and Rare Weapons as two separate pools, granting Rare boosters since there aren't any more cards available in the Rare Characters list. I ask because I'm down to 19 more Rare Character cards and I would like to start getting some more Rare Weapons while having a better chance of getting UR characters from the Reserve packs. BW said they fixed that, I saw it on reddit a couple weeks back, if you want I could take an hour or two tracking the post down but according to BW it's supposed to be fixed. Not sure if it's actually tested to be fixed but at least BW claims it's fixed. Just FYI Premium packs, while not specifically weighted towards guns or kits like Reserves or Arsenals, will tend to follow the general rarity drop pattern of being weighted towards kits, then guns, then mods. Probably not as heavily weighted towards kits as Reserves but still more likely to drop kits than guns. Source: Maxed all UR kits at level XX after 450 Premium packs while still having over 1000 packs to go to max guns, will post video proof in drop rate test thread over the next few days.

1000 Premium packs, 258 URs, 25.8% UR drop rate. Very tired/drunk and going to bed now but will upload videos tomorrow and link in thread. Also in another couple days or so will post stats for another 1000 or so Premium packs, either until credits run out or manifest is maxed, whichever happens first. In total should provide a significant enough of a sample to establish a very accurate UR drop rate for Premium packs.

Huh. Anyone else notice this yet? When you get hit with a barrel effect, and you're holding a siphon gun, it can glow bright blue for a while. Sometimes affects holstered siphon guns too.

I've just noticed I've never completed the Quarksman 200 waves challenge. Only on about 46%. ^^^^ Fuck that. If I'm about half way through then its going to be another 5 years before that gets finished. Must be the most boring character of them all I think my complaint about him is that to me he doesn't feel like he has any good crowd control outside of his guns. I used to think he was pretty bland, but then I had started having more fun with him once I tried him out with some projectile guns. I guess he's still not really doing anything that another kit couldn't do but I have a Striker/Scorpion build that I put into occasional pug rotation.

I always imagine that the characters in the lobby are shifting around and fidgeting because they have really itchy butts from fighting in armor all day, but they don't want you to see them scratching themselves, so they have to wait til they're covered up by the loading screen.

I'm an old, old Bungie fan - Marathon trilogy on a Performa old. I've owned every shooter they've come out with on PC, and I've always liked their world building and story telling, so I'll probably give D2 a shot. I'd have played more of their games but I'm just not very good with console controls.
