8 years agoI just did the math. To finish maxing out my ultra rare characters I'll need 96 cards. I seem to be able to make roughly 100 mission funds with strike teams each day. 96 cards X 960 MF ÷ 100 MF per day is about 2 years.
Somehow I doubt I'll still care about trying to get my Krogan Gladiator to XX for platinum 2 years from now.

oh right, I thought your complaint was that there were not enough missions to do but it's about how quick you can get your rewards.
I don't think their idea is that you gain all the MP rewards via sending teams to do strike missions. I think they prefer you actually doing MP yourself, so I doubt they'd be upping the rewards for sending strike teams.
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoYeah... MEA MP is no Battlefield 4 or Borderlands 2 or Mass Effect 1 or 2 or 3... it's not that high quality nor that complex content... in short we're expected to pay cash money (Andromeda points, I've spent embarrassingly more than 100$) for something that's not really worth the time and effort.
I paid hundreds of dollars for the DLCs for the games I just mentioned and I never felt cheated. I've played BF4 for many, many hours, but the content is massive and the control is great, what I see on the screen, what I do with the controller and what is actually happening on the server are all pretty close, not so with MEA MP.
So it's comparatively like grinding tictactoe for a year to unlock different color Xs and Os. Hey I like MEA MP, I really do, but I've played it for 120 hours and I'm like "ok, I'm a little bored and I'd like to try some of the other characters maxed out, but I can't grind one thing, I have to grind all the things... for over a year..."
(The estimate is 475 hours... that was *before* the 1.09 content weapons and XX character ranks)
***The time and effort to unlock and the price to enable it to be less extreme is out of proportion to the complexity and value of the content.***
I've been happy with all the Mass Effect series until now... but this is a little disappointing.
I'll say this: I do appreciate the changes, I do appreciate being able to buy UR character cards with mission funds now... I just am pretty certain I'll have given up on trying to experience all the content... and if I don't, I doubt many people will be playing MP with me two years from now... it'll be hard to find matches.
... the OP is wishing there were more missions per hour or day so generating mission funds (for character cards) is more feasible for the obsessive grinder who can't play the MP 24/7, that's all.
