I see Densified Ammunition and that's it. I'll assume there's another card I can't see because I already have it?

Yes, but by this point Mass Effect 3 was no longer making money or receiving support, so realistically why would Bioware be concerned over this? Do you think in making this decision that Bioware was concerned about people struggling to find all of the necessary DLC 3-4 years from now when the player base is minuscule? It's an issue now, far after support, but it was also an issue at the realease of the first and all subsequent ME3MP DLC, so to me that's not really a relevant counter-argument. Trying to match people with different sets of available content would be a PITA. Yeah, that's exactly how it works with ME3MP.

The part about finding the DLC is true. I remember before MEA dropped, there would be near-daily threads on reddit from people wondering if people still played, because they couldn't find anyone, and it nearly always turned out they were missing DLC. Making all the necessary DLC/patches/content/whatever mandatory for playing was a step in the right direction, in my opinion.

There isn't any other game, mainly because of how different ME does loot. MEA (and ME3) have a finite pool of loot, that eventually "ends". We can max out our manifest in MEA in theory. We can get all the cards for guns & characters and that would complete the search for loot in the game aside from the 65535 boosters you can get. Other loot oriented games have infinite combinations and repeats that you can receive. Unlike games already mentioned, when I have a Siphon Hurricane X, I am not going to get anymore Siphon Hurricane cards. But in never ending loot game, if I get the Ultra Motherfucker Gun with cool perks, I can still get that UMFG with different perks or the same perks again. They don't triple the number of guns when new content comes out.... they usually add fractions of what they have already. MEA's variant cards, is unlike anything you'll see in loot games Whatever the limit is, it's more than 65535. I've tested this myself in another thread.

hey wavebend is it possible yet to designate which objective waves you get (or at least exclude shitty ones)? I have heard that we need the next Frosty Editor version to do so. very easily, and you don't need the next version, however obvious warning: the dev(s) of the tools don't endorse cheating out the system, it's only that they haven't put any barriers yet in doing so because of the effort involved. between you and me, i dont think changing the objectives is anything gamebreaking, but i'd hate to see people take advantage of the tools and create a way to max out your manifest in a single day and get the tools C&Ded Yeah, in fact you should PM me the specific steps involved for that so I can make sure that I don't ever accidentally do them.

Managed to rubberband under the stairs on Magma. I could still shoot at baddies and stupid dogs kept waiting at the threshold. I even killed a Hydra or two by shooting them in the foot because part of it clipped through the stairs. Fucking zerkers and their aoe spam managed to kill me a few times even though they didn't have los on me. #QualityBiowareProduct Played a game with Abrams once where I got stuck under there for over half the game. Eventually wiggled around enough that I got out. I actually got some points, since I could still shoot and use powers through the gaps between steps if I scoped in, and a good number of enemies spawn down in the lower areas.

Whoa, you can get them from packs if your normals are maxed? I too would like to know this. I've seen one person say they saw someone get one out of a pack, but I haven't seen any proof.

No 65535 cap on consumables. so they went the same route as in dai with health potions .... totally stupid so its going to be around 4.5 mill just to cap out tier 1/2 boosters let me know when your auto farmer makes it that far XD I wanna know if jumbo packs give out tier 3/4 boosters or only 1/2 ones The current credit farming and pack buying processes are too slow to ever get there. If consumables had capped at 65535, I was going to try to max all bronze boosters to see if jumbos would drop silver boosters, and then gold boosters, etc., but now I'm just going to get together enough credits to max out my manifest.

No 65535 cap on consumables. Can I get a small loan of 10000000000 credits? If you have 70 days straight to do nothing but hang out in-game while the credits roll up, then sure.* *Does not count time lost due to crashes, disconnections, blue screens, eating, sleeping, working, etc.

well take heart its 130 million to max out on ammo/ops/gel/rockets its only 9.5 bill to cap out on all the consumables as well, assuming of course that bio ware was dumb enough to put respect cards at 65535 as well.... and that's providing you can just keep buying jumbo packs to max everything out and started off with zero of each consumable and assuming of course that bioware in its complete cash cow retard mentality also set the jumbo packs to always give 5 each of ammo/ops/gel/rockets regardless of what you have in the pack.... otherwise its possible that t1/2 items will cap out along with gel/ops etc in around 4.5 billion, or if the jumbo packs start giving out just boosters then you should be able to cap out t1/2 + ops etc packs in around 2.6 bill.....or everything for around 5 bill (assuming you get 10 boosters per pack once ops etc are capped out) whatever way you work it out your going to need to figure out a cash hack if you don't want to be dying of old age before capping out the stuff in order to ensure your getting just what you actually want from the equipment packs (i.e. only t3/4 boosters and guns /char cards.....) its like there literally begging folks to hack the game just so its more enjoyable.... No 65535 cap on consumables.

Bronze is nice, so I can solo them when no one joins again. Could just about do bronze alone Combine with another daily aka "14 waves on Derelict" - which would mean "two Bronze games on Derelict" Did the same last night, I ran two public Bronze/Random/Derelict solos and got my 60MF. Nobody joined either game

Actually, I've done a PUG platinum that extracted in sub 11 mins. It was derelict/remnant. However, it was clearly a hacked game. Enemies had much less hit points...not low enough to die with one shot from any weapon or skill but were one shot with nades, the dhan I was using, etc. Probably enemy life set to around 1K hit points? Squaddies could still die and the host did many times. Everything else seemed normal. Host left after the match. I didn't know hacked lobbies can be this finely toned. I imagine it'd be really confusing if this were someone's first plat game and then they play a normal one and ask themselves "what happened?" There are individual toggles and multipliers for all kinds of things. I only play vanilla games but it's possible to dial everything down to make the game easier, or you can even modify it to make it harder by setting something like 0.8x damage done, 1.5x damage received, 1.2x game speed, 0.8x walk/run speed.

I think the current theory is that they max out at 65535 each, which is about 130000000 credits' worth of jumbo packs. I'm testing this myself right now, I should have results by tomorrow. At 3 sec/match, does it take longer to make it or spend it? With time loading in and out etc. it's more like a minute per 100k, and I can buy a 10k jumbo every 10 or 12 seconds, so it definitely takes longer to spend it. I'm using a spare phone to buy packs in the Apex app using a macro. It's more efficient than buying them in the game because I don't randomly lose connection in the app like I do in MP.

Assuming boosters would replace consumables if consumables were to hit their max, I imagine they could just lower the maximum amount of consumables you could have (maybe 999?). This way, you don't have to introduce more packs in the store; while also addressing the issue of boosters. I think the current theory is that they max out at 65535 each, which is about 130000000 credits' worth of jumbo packs. I'm testing this myself right now, I should have results by tomorrow.

Not sure if anyone's interested in studying lesser packs, but I recorded myself purchasing Basic and Advanced packs to max the new commons and uncommons, and also to see how often doubles and/or upgraded card drops happen. I started with a max 1.08 manifest, then bought Basic packs to max commons, then bought Advanced packs to max uncommons. Unfortunately I goofed up on recording the Basic packs so I missed getting the majority of those on video. I opened a few dozen extra Basic packs to get more info recorded on upgraded rarity drop rates. After a little bit I stopped flipping over the cards most of the time, it's just too much work, but the rarities are still visible. If anyone wants, feel free to parse out the videos to get upgraded card drop rates for the cheap packs and see whether there's a pity timer for that kind of thing. Still to do and record: open 13000 Jumbo packs to see what happens when gels/ops/thermals/cobras reach 65535 each. My personal theory is that packs will start dropping 5 boosters every time, but who knows. Basic packs: Advanced packs:
