ok so ironlockboxes are underpowered as they are right now soooo
you should lower the price of keys to 400 and add new items to the crate
u need to take some lessons from valve
8% strange recipes: strange recipes can only be used once but give you a weapon that counts how many kills you get or a sheild which counts how many hits it asorbs
20% costume helemets that change every month
1% name tag you name items with
1% descrption tag u make the discription for the weapon
1% helemet or armor with random assorcies already on it
good idea right

I agree in some ways

The value of accessories continues to drop so that the cost of the key is far above the value of nearly all accessories. Very few people are going to continue to buy keys and open boxes. Then what? So, yes, some changes in pricing or box content will need to be made.

I have 2 lockboxes in my arsenal. They are worth 1k each judging from the AH. Accesories are being sold for less than the price it cost to unlock them, except for the rare ones. Conclusion, Im not going to bother with lockboxes and will just leave it in my arsenal forever.

I would still sell them. I mean, it's at least 900+ crowns. If you have no interest for the accessories, might as well sell them. :P .........

......

IT'S PRACTICALLY FREE MONEY!(Ok crowns...close enough.)

Sure i would give it to you for free even. Add me :D Im serious!

I'll pass the free gift

I hope there's code that reduces lockbox drop rate if there's a huge amount on the AH. (Hint hint)

The value of accessories

Uh, that is normal and to be expected? If the majority of things in the lockboxes were worth more than the keys, people would automatically buy them for profit. It is a lottery. Most of the time you lose, sometimes you win big.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if OOO put other things into lock boxes, and had gold keys and wooden boxes, etc.

Oh, and finally, this should be move to Suggestions...

@Vyftien Oh no, that won't be

@Vyftien Oh no, that won't be necessary. ;P

I'm just saying, why bother keep something and let it collect dust, when you can sell it and make money? =3(And decent money too. I mean, who doesn't want an easy 900 crowns?)

But hey, it's your box. Do what you please. :)

Underpowered?

I'm sorry, this doesn't seem like a thread of discussion, it seems like a "This is my cool idea do you guys like it" thread. One that often is not taken seriously by any form of authority.

Flailing is a good thing.

Flailing is a good thing. It's like a OHAI THAR. Because I remember you from Lockdown :U

And I've never played TF2, but from what I'm hear- er, reading, the accessories thing threw alot off?
