New Loot Choice UI - Why Wasn't This Added to Weekly/Monthly Reward Boxes?

    With GU59 launching today, one of the things I was most looking forward to was the release of the loot choice UI being retroactively added across all Tiers.

    However, it seems that the loot choice UI does not currently extend to the Weekly/Monthly Reward Boxes. I'm definitely curious about this, as there are quite a few styles and base items required for completing Feats that drop exclusively from these Weekly/Monthly Reward Boxes, and I was under the impression that adding the new loot choice UI would make acquiring these things a bit easier. Unfortunately as of this writing, they are not.

    We've already seen that the loot choice UI can be applied to boxes when we received the open-world daily mission reward on New Genesis from "Halls of Power Part II", so was this a simple oversight, or is this actually intended?

    It would be nice though if the Marks of Victory per boss would not be a common loot only one member of the group can get. Needs to be fixed because right now even "relevant" content is "irrelevant" in terms of reward getting 0 marks per run if you don't win the "need" gamble.
  3. BumblingB I got better.

    I doubt oversight. Probably incrimental release. It's a lot of scripting to add loot changes. I mean... How long was it before personal loot was added to EVERY boss in the game? How long was it that they went back to add loot picker to ALL content? Just bring it up and ask if it can be added in the loot picker thread. That dev is a new member, he probably will think of it.

    That bug was reported for some instances on test. Which instances made it to live?

    At least Port of Paradise, A Black Dawn and Avarice Impurity. Seems to be anything that gets "put" in the inventory also goes with it (noticed with Fate's Magic Missives).

    So is it only old content (Tier 1-6)? Or did it also mess up Tier 7 content?

    The only oddity I noticed in the new duo was we had to roll on the collection after downing Mantis/Kalibak.

    As (probably) the main tester with the new loot system, there was an issue earlier last week where all items were being split over 2 loot selection windows and then out of relevancy rewards were being put in the Need Before Greed system. This was patched, though, but I'm guessing relevant player marks didn't get caught by this.

    It was hard to test because all my characters are out of relevancy for T1-6 content and new characters were starting at Level 1, meaning I'd have had to level up a character just to get try a relevant reward.

    As for the original question, this update was to only cover instanced drops from bosses. The open world missions weren't addressed in this update. Whilst the weekly reward boxes do drop from bosses, their loot tables aren't linked to bosses, so it wasn't within the scope of the update.

    Return to the Nexus, Act of Defiance. Only two I tried, so I assume pretty much all.

    HIVE Moonbase as well (just ran it). That's a Free instance as well, so that's not exactly the best advert for converting players into paying customers.

    I was keeping an eye on your posts in that testing topic, and I'd like to thank you for everything you did.

    Not sure how or why people are changing this thread into a bug thread about rolling on MoV when the OP is clearly about Weekly/Monthly Reward Boxes not having the new loot choice UI, but at least I got somewhat of an answer from Avair in his Dev Discussion thread:

    Thanks Avair!

    Thank you for the recognition :) Got to do what I can to help the game stay alive. I would hate to see how bad it would have been right now, if it hadn't been done.

    Has anyone seen any exceptional recovery kits from dox and nex? I've ran a few times on test dox atleast and haven't seen any dropping can anyone confirm on live? Could be i was just a unlucky guy on test. But usually i can get a few a week with all my alts.

    Welcome to the Internet, there's certain topics so irritating to some they jump on it at the first possible chance. In this case it is a short lived bug, that will no doubt be squashed as soon as the devs realise players can exploit it to get round relevancy windows and spending reset tokens.
  16. SethZoulMonEl 10000 Post Club

    Only players within the relevancy window can roll on the marks, so no, it doesn't provide an exploit. It just provides frustration to players who are gearing up.

    Are the reset tokens still at risk though? I'm partially hoping to spook the sales team into getting it sorted ASAP.

    Loot choice for the vault would be great. Then I could maybe finally complete Ligistic Officer on my last two chars. :D
