For sure this is probably one of my favorite things in the game. Why?

 

I really like the steady release of items to do with them and their rarity. Also more or less everyone has equal opportunity to find them as well. I've been thinking that adding better equipment to them was a great idea but they weren't sets :)?

 

Maybe add a "Chest Exclusive" Tier of item... Maybe better than SE but worse than Epics... They would be two piece sets... Maybe release one set every 500 levels of content. So we can have a set say at level 100 and so on and so forth. Thoughts? I believe the only thing lacking to do with chests is the equipment because it's not necessarily useful in anyway.

Again, updating chests has been suggested and, for the most part (other than frag stash containers) ignored. The vast majority of the contents aren't worth the cost of the key to open the chest - heck, they're not worth 1% of the cost of the key.

 

So, yes, make new stuff for the chests - make them tempting again for heavens sake...


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

wasnt gonna comment in this thread for obvious reasons tho i will say that is a good point, the useless crystal drops arent used for inventing at the very least so easily could be replaced, but maybe not the spirit tainted set which isnt too bad of a set even if now worthless :)

I don't mind adding a few new sets to the Chests that are available out there at the mo. Not sure they need to be "better" that LE/SE as that happened with the Ladder and was not exactly well received by some.

Look at how popular the weak or poorly made sets are from the Ladder.. those werent recieved well and were given constructive changes by pvpers but they were left alone to get covered in dust..

Adding subpar rewards is what made chests only about the medal, not the treasure inside in the first place.

You say sub par, but they were more powerful than comparable sets. What do you want? Epic scaled individual items in sets? Not happening.

BG i really think there is merit in adding new better sets to chests. People loved the new pots/new frag chests...So don't see why new sets would be bad :P. Don't even need to make them crystal since chests are so rare too! The problem with the ladder IMO was that people farmed tokens for years! The thing with chests is there is just a random chance to find them on the map. To be honest i really liked the ladder sets not even gonna lie. Confused on why they were such an "awful" addition. IMO maybe some people were mad that they totally didn't fix the current pvp situation. I wasn't suggesting making the new item's epic's but i was suggesting to make them as powerful as chests are rare proportionally :). Really think it will do a lot of good to chests. If you just added already existing LE or SE items to chests i don't think it would really do anything. As it stands right now no one really is that driven to open chests. Quite often my mates just give them away. I think adding timeless sets to chests will totally turn it around. If i had a chance at a really nice set i'd probably look at chests more than just "another medal". Just my 2 cents.

Some were yes, which the ladder needed to properly reward the effort lots of players have been giving for years... and they werent well recieved because you had to actually fight other players in hopes to get enough tokens over multiple resets... instead of smashing an easy legendary creature over and over for drops in a small time frame...

No one is asking for epics in chests... just trying to emphasize the need for a proper reward inside when comparing to key costs and availability of chest locations..

There's nothing wrong with them in my opinion. They're fine and as I said, they are more powerful than comparable sets.

I wasn't suggesting making the new item's epic's but i was suggesting to make them as powerful as chests are rare proportionally smile.png.


Like I said, the Ladder Sets are more powerful and that's about as high as I'd be wanting to go for power.

Oh for sure the "power" of ladder sets is definitely good... But i wouldn't make these sets crystal seeing how rare they already will be :). No one would want to buy a powerful set that's SUPER rare that's gonna break anyways.

 

While on the other hand making the ladder items crystal was a good idea because of the vast tokens circulating the game :P. No one can really mass produce items out of chests so that's why i think making these sets crystal in chests would do more harm than good :P. Would take away some of the desire to own them.

i also agree that a few new gear sets are needed in the chests..make them whatever decent power you want to bg..but please put them out, dont let this idea die out...that will really help chests hunters ( i do hunt them) to at least get a prize worthy of the expense of the key ( crystal is brutal)

 

new sets would provide that value..as finding them only thru chests would help keep a great value for quite some time..and be sought after

Just thought i'd propose a some buff to the frag chests aswell? They are quite weak when you look at how much frags really cost. Key's are quite expensive sometimes. Would honestly look into buffing them like 2x :). Just food for thought.

Good news I'd say. Chest items have sucked since day one, with very few exceptions.

 

You'd do well to remove some of the more useless items at the same time as adding in the new sets.
