For now, there is only one type of lockbow (iron). I thought to myself "what if there were different lockbokes".
My idea : New Varaities of Lockboxes
-Iron
-Bronze
-Silver
-Gold
-Platnum
The farther down the list goes, the higher the chance of recieving a Shadow Key or a Prismatic Asessory.
Chances of the varieties:
Iron-70%
Bronze-15%
Silver-10%
Gold-4%
Platnum-1%
Also Shadow keys should be purchasable for 850CE
This is basically the same idea I had the week lock boxes came out. The main difference was keeping the iron lockbox, but having it award a colored or labeled box that defined 1 aspect of the Accessory inside it. That way, regardless of the actual distribution rates, the labeled boxes would be easier to resell, naturally creating a better price scale, and lets resellers shift some of the risk. Boxes that contain prismatic items would obviously sell for the highest, but the remaining speculation risk would cause the price to drop slightly. The the major flaw though is it could potentially drive the price of actual items up instead if players speculate in the opposite direction.
i personally think lockboxes are fine the way they are. the only issue to me is the price of silver keys. 750 is too much, but then i know it cant be too low either, 500-600 is more ideal, its not much of a difference but the fact is 750 is still too much. 600 at the most really.
Actually, i think it wouldnt be so much different, if there werent any lockboxes at all. Instead, the contents could be given to the players directly (but maybe the use of the contents could require paiment, e.g. attaching an accessory). It would just be more simple and fair, because even a tier 1 noob with no energy, could actually get this stuff instead of a lockbox he should rather sell or keep for ages, if he ever wants to go to tier 2. People would not gamble with 750CE or 45000 crowns to get random items with higher or lower values. Instead, they could buy/sell or keep it directly.
However, i wouldnt mind having varaities of lockboxes instead of just one kind. It would be a step towards more fairness and less gambling. Just sayan.
good idea. i, for eaxample want a wolver tail, but the chance of getting it is so low its gonna take me ages. if it is given directly, maybe bechamel can sell them as well as eqiup or uneqiup. for around 20,000cr for ordinary accessory, 30,000cr for a prismatech. but the idea of harder levels giving better items is a good thing, as when your doing harder tiers you need more cr for better eqiupment.
Lockboxes could perhaps hold something else, accessory's need to directly given, if not, at least have the price of silver keys cut down. i suppose different lockboxes might work, but then you will still have very little chance of getting what you want and 99% of the time, your'll just end up depressed...
the idea for multi color lockboxes has been suggested before
