hi ooo,
i think the current system is really nice however the lockboxes and key system seems to have a lot of potential in helping the game obtain a consistent player base. unfortunately i have no stats or data to back my statements and it is purely based on my view so i apologise again if my suggestion is bad.
suggestion:
new promo boxes require silver keys to be opened that can be bought via the supply depot (already available) or through energy purchases. in a way this will provide more uses for the silver keys and keeps them in a demand. when a promo event occurs, lockboxes can only be obtained via clockworks through the prize wheel or lockdown by bribing the sexy krogmo. specifically the lockboxes have a 20% chance to be obtained [the more boxes the better right? tempts people to buy silver keys and unbox them ;)]
example via prize wheel:
[odds the same]24/7 - Iron Lockbox
[odds the same]24/7 - Mirrored Lockbox
[1%] 24/7 - Mysterious Lockbox - Opens with a silver key (Obtain a random promo item)
[15% chance]Special Event Only- Summer Splash Lockbox - Opens with a silver key
-splash aura, halo, goggles etc etc
also...
add moarrr secret stuff into the game plsssss, everyone loves rare stuff and secrets.
e.g.extremely rare belongings of the alpha squad
euclid
parma
rulen
grant
completing all clockwork's gates access within the week grants a small percent increase in chance to obtain
As of right now, there is a small incentive to buy silver keys. Making a special lockbox that can be obtained in the clockworks during a promo would give incentive to both buy the keys and run the clockworks. This would give F2P players something to work forwards to while a box promotion is active.
And for that "mysterious lockbox", one could simply have it be like the surprise box we had for the 3-year anniversary, just instead it uses a key to open. This would get the items in a rare but sure circulation which may even lead to more energy purchases from unbinding accessories with unbind accessory tickets.
To the secret stuff, I'd love to see more scenario rooms, or even be able to run into groups of knights who are fighting or have perished in a level.
Gear dropping from boxes would also be a fun thing to see, especially if it is unique gear only obtainable from boxes.
