They're supposed to be randomly generated reward-based levels, why should I cough up 3 energy just to get at those two treasure boxes behind that door?
Remove possible energy gates from Treasure Vaults
Yes. Not to mention that those treasure valuts are not so very full of treasure. They barely give enough crowns to buy 10CE (elevator cost).
+1 to Treasure Valut rant!
A friend and I ran a tier-3 treasure vault before the last server reboot in under 60 seconds. We hit all the energy gates, killed all of the inhabitants, opened all of the boxes, and hit the next floor running. The prize wheel gave me 50 crowns, which was approximately a tenth of what I earned overall for the floor.
I completely don't agree with removing the energy gates, but man it sure would be nice if there was actually something behind them.
Now that I realize it, their payout is already low; why do I have to use energy just to open those gates?
Meh, they should just rename them "Treasure Vault: 16 Energy Tricked Out of the Greedy"
How does removing the energy gates help anything at all? You don't have to open them.
Energy gates should actually be worth opening sometimes, whether they're in Treasure Vaults or not.
But if you feel that there's not enough treasure outside the energy gates, that's a problem with the level, not with the gates. The gates are optional and do not hurt anything; removing them is not somehow going to inherently give you more treasure.
Take energy gates out of Treasure Vaults and put breakable blocks in their place, now you can open the treasure boxes without having to pay up.
