Spent a little over 2m on Premium Packs.
Krysae Sniper Rifle X
Reegar Carbine X
Unlocked all of the characters :] The Cerberus Vanguard guy is pretty wicked, but tricky. Vorcha with the Reagar Carbine is close combat crowd control insanity. It's going to take me longer to exploit these builds. There's more nuance around these guys.
Mods haven't arrived as quickly, but I still got quite a few.
*If the grenade capacity mod scales linearly Drell Adepts and Human Soldiers are going to be fucking insane.
On the ultra-rare side of things I got Black Widow and Sabre upgrades. I also got an Indra II
On a Turian Soldier Indra + Hurricane is pure bullet throwing mayhem.

Yep. I'm buying PSPs. That promise of an Ultra Rare chance, plus it seems everyone is getting DLC in every PSP, I'm looking forward to it.
Edit: Did Commendation packs come out today too?

How do you guys get so many credits?
GGW credit farming since the DLC was just a rumor.How do you guys get so many credits?
I've never saved up any more than 170k credits.

How many credits do you earn per match? And how much harder is it than Silver?
There isn't. Only do it when I want some quick, easy credits. Otherwise, I start my own party with random map/enemies.
~70k credits a pop.
Spent about 500k credits saved up over the past week, got a Reegar IV, Khrysae IV and a vorcha sentinel and a quarian infiltrator. Played a few silver matches to get the hang of the characters-vorcha are deadly with bloodlust but it's really hard to see shit on the screen. Health regen was enough to run at enemies and come out without a scratch. The Khrysae isn't too powerful and fires slowly, but it staggered all the silver Cerberus enemies each hit (including phantoms, they become a joke), and the shots do AoE damage. Reegar carbine is simply OP, you run up to enemies and they melt. With a cloak bonus phantoms were down in seconds. It's basically an electric flamethrower and for some reason makes me feel like I'm playing a ghostbusters game.
finishing wave 6 of gold nets more credits (i think 35k+?) than an entire silver match and it's not much harder than wave 10 of silver.

Well, I know I'm only adding to the microtransaction problem of today's gaming, but I bought a 4000 MSP card because spending that much time farming to unlock what I want just wasn't worth the time required from me this past week. I had lots of family events, a wife, and other cool stuff to do. Let's see what I get. Someone has to pay for the DLC.
Edit: Wow... I went through my records. I've spent 11,600 MSP on packs since March 11. To be fair I had about 4000 points sitting in my account from some $35 for 4000 points deal about 10 months ago, and 2 1600 points cards from gifts. I never used them though, I was waiting for a reason to, really.

Not sure if I want to spend my 2 millions on PSP. Lately that pack has been sucking. They must be planning to release rebellion pack or something similar soon.
Not that I have to worry about that yet since Euro PSN is awful as usual and the DLC is nowhere in their store. Eh, more time to farm, I suppose. Maybe I can get it up to 3 million before it comes out.

All right, I'll need to try out some Gold matches soon.
I think Silver is harder for me than Gold now.
At first the sheer numbers and HP of enemies in Gold was a hurdle, but now I've become so used to doing the kind of damage necessary that its a breeze. ESPECIALLY with a good team.
I go down to Silver and the ease of it all means that I run off and do stupid shit. No teamwork whatsoever.
edit: so far, Krysae 2, Both Quarians, Vorcha, and my first Indra. omgomgomg

From what I've played on it, I really like Jade. So open.
I really enjoy Jade, can't stand Goddess. Getting flanked by spawners isn't fun.
Guys, if you spec a vorcha right, they are immune to death.
They get unreal health regeneration with Bloodlust. And the bonus stacks after each kill. Its flat out silly. I just sat between two Brutes and lol'd as my health came back faster than they could do damage. It lasts for 15+ seconds (on spec) and the cooldown is going to be around 2 seconds for most reasonable set ups.

gonna respec for melee. that shit was just unfair

Agreed, oh well at least there's tons of goodies to unlock along the way. Jade is a nice addition to the regular motley of maps.
And I can't exactly complain since it's free.

i don't even have one of those
Hey, if it's fun then who cares. Honestly, I probably would have spent quite a few space bucks if I hadn't had help collecting credits.
I really like Turian Soldier with Indracane. They were meant to be used together.
Similarly I really like the Corcha/Reager combo.
I stopped getting mods and character cards are dominating my PSPs again. Crap.
*The objective pickup is different than single player. You can't run while carrying it.
**Going to respec my cerberus vanguard for full melee. We'll see how it works out.
Specced the male quarian infiltrator for weapon damage using the Reegar carbine, he does really well with it against Cerberus on gold. Tactical Scan has a 1.5 second cooldown and highlights the enemy for everyone to see and adds a 25% damage bonus and 15% movement penalty. Going to try geth if I can get a game that isn't firebase white.
It's still broken. The recharge time actually changes in the powers menu, but still doesn't work in game. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/12302756/

Really ? LoL Bioware
Don't use the Reegar with Vorcha.
Its redundant with Flamer and you become really, really one-dimensional.
I think you can make the Vorcha work if you spec for Health and Power Damage on Gold. Just get used to having no shields.
And damn... nothing is standing up to a Vorcha combo. I'm tempted to keep this melee class, throw on a pistol that'll keep my recharge low and Flamer going, and just beast through anything in sight. All it takes is one good heavy Melee and you're killing everything in front of you.

Can't wait to use that Berzerker amp on my Kroguard melee build with Claymore X and bayonet V. I hope my enemies like it rough

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Because life works in mysterious ways, I managed to finally unlock the Geth Infiltrator shortly before this pack went live. Gotta say cloak + that geth vision power, coupled with a shotgun, is ridiculously cool.
Tried out Firebase Jade. Good map, very open. Also dig the new capture-the-briefcase challenge. Even if I was the only one doing it :/.

Thats no glitch. Lash has an insane amount of force behind it. It's Pull on crack. It can be specd for damage too.
Yep. Lash + Smash will dust off any Phantom on Silver. They're officially free.
Smash does a good amount of damage by itself too.

Easily. You just need to get the hang of it. Its pull on crack. you gotta use the angles
Who are the 3 bad? The infiltrators? I haven't touched them yet. I got caught up in the Vorcha melee/tank fest.
Charge and Singularity change the playstyle of the Cerberus guys entirely.
Quarians: Cloak vs. Incinerate
Vorcha: Cluster Grenades vs. Carnage
Cerberus: Singularity vs. Biotic Charge
Those are the only differences in powers I believe. I think the Cerberus choice is pretty obvious. The Vorcha is if you prefer a power vs. strong grenades and the Quarian's most people will consider the QI to be a lot better but Incinerate with it's recent buff is a pretty good power with the Male QE, especially since you can set up fire explosions with Incinerate + Arc Grenades.
