This is going to sound really silly, and stupid and dumb and simple but...me and my boyfriend have opened, each, almost 100 Iron Lockboxes, with neither of us getting a Wolver Tail of any color distribution...I understand there needs to be a rarity value....um...in some accesories, but could we...um...maybe tweak it so the tails drop more often in the basic colorations? (Still keep prismatic/volcanic/divine rare?)

Its dumb, its stupid, I know I know...but I just...would like a Wolver Tail since I've played a long time, opened many lockboxes...and have gotten nice stuff but no tail...

Also...maybe um...some more furniture? Like adorable devilite office stuff or things? Maybe a wandering pitboss that follows a friendly devilite around? Or a lil "Yesman" for the pitboss?

Sorry!

You know what,

Actually, I'm all for this. The rates for these items are absolutely absurd, and it wouldn't surprise me if they wouldn't even be in the game were it not for the Featured Auctions handing them out like candy. In fact, I absolutely believe that the Featured Auctions is the only reason why these rare items are in the game. Not to mention that something like $1.60 goes into opening a Lockbox in the first place.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

A long long time ago I got a Wolver Tail from a Lockbox.

It was the second one I opened. *Boast boast*

Hmmm?

I heard that wolver tails were on advertised to drop in the box? I read some where in the secret GM forum that its only in featured AH :O
(Gms please don't ban me if that was classified information :>)

The secret GM forum was an April Fools joke.
At least it looks like it worked on SOME people.

Oh I knew it was, but I thought everything inside was true since most of the threads were made before April fools last year right?

They comment on it all year round for lolz, but it's only visible to non-admins during April Fools

Dem boxes.

At the rate of opening lockboxes, you could've bought a few.
And raising the box rate opening on Wolver Tails would be nice for people who don't have one. But say for the people who spent their money on it, or people who are selling it. It'd be a little annoying. When they could have just waited for something like this to happen. And bought it for cheaper.

So basically the sprinkle aura situation.

Although not many tails stay in peeps inventory unless they're keeping it a secret or hopeing to get a good price.
I honestly don't think this is a bad idea, but not just for tails. That and make headbands and those things alot harder to get, because I can understand rare but making everything maid n some other things so common you're scared to open a box is unbelievable, selling the box is worth more...

Read between the lines. New

Read between the lines. New players are given access to a certain group of accessories in the knight creation process - what that really shows us is the system confirming what we already knew, that those particular accessories are worthless junk filling up most of the boxes. Along with heat amps, exponential revive costs and the supply depot, lockboxes are designed to burn money from a certain group of players - monthly subscribers (CE buyers). Anything that eats huge gobs of CE is not intended for use by anyone else. This is why accessories are not craftable, they are not meant to be accessible to everyone.

I have no idea how big the monthly subscriber group is, but it must be big enough that plain old CE sipping freeloaders, *ahem* that is to say, free 2 players are not welcome to certain aspects of the system.

Well then........

I think yes. Although I've really not really, *cough*openedanylockboxes*cough*, opening even around 50 lockboxes, seems, a bit, extreme, only rewarded with no wolver tail. That's just fantastic *robs Kozma for stolen CE*
