Opposing Faction Lock Box Styles?

    The box isnt worth it considering they contain styles you can find in the freaking War Room. Either add the styles to old content (and don't make it random. T5 styles should drop in T5 content) or just make a freaking vendor like the current one we have but bring the price way down. I'm thinking like 25 MoV per style piece.

    Agreed. Their certainly not selling any Keys to anyone that's been playing more than a year. Maybe thats the reason? They're trying to sell keys to new players that will never play old content enough to naturally obtain many of the styles?

    Whatever, throw a bone to the long time players. It's been years since the lock boxes were even worth mentioning. I had such high hopes for this change. Guess I shouldn't be surprised really.

    My subscription ended last night. I've received two lockboxes on two characters since that time. I didn't feel all that bad throwing them away with keys costing $2.00-$2.50 per key. I was receiving a new style every 4 or 5 boxes prior to losing my subscription, but I don't mind getting them the old fashion way with the price gouge on lockbox keys.

    I've snagged about 7 villain styles so far, and maybe a half dozen PvP styles (might be slightly more if I double count some of the villain styles). There's also been a decent assortment of styles that I haven't gotten yet because of my preference for solo content (Raptor Tech, Hijacked Servitor, HIVE Defender).

    All told I think I've only had one time where a style in the Lockbox was something none of my characters needed. With folks that have done more group content, I can understand the frustration that might show up but overall I can't really complain too much about the results I've seen.

    What?! Is that what a key costs?! LMFAO! Holy crapola! That's outrageous considering what people are likely to get. I've never even seen a Slim Aura, and those were added how long ago?

    Wow, just wow.

    I wish they'd replace Biker and Mayan with the Manta and Aquaman gear. There are some other stylesets on the list that will make anyone who spend extra money on a Prom-key severely regret spending the money, because you can get them for cheap ingame money or marks.

    Everytime I get one of those two styles I feel like the dev who put them on the list wants to troll us.

    I assume by Mayan, you mean chest, back, feet, head, and shoulders. The legs, hands, and waist are pretty rare and should stay in lockboxes for those still chasing them.

    I guess I'm the unlucky one. I only got crap and a couple of pvp villain styles I wasnt even interested in.
    Not to mention they left gear from T5 up out of the boxes. When I found out about that I lost interest in boxes.
    Also they dont drop as regularly as they did before or its my feeling?
    Its weird. Luck is luck like everything in the game, everything is so random I feel cheated all time lol

    Mayan is on the rare style vendor. Everyone can get them...

    Sure, but why pay 70 marks when a lockbox drops them for free? - Well $10-$15 a month or $2.00 - $2.50 each lockbox.

    When the "new" lockboxes were issued, there was a chance that they would drop twice the amount of times than usual, but only for a limited time.

    It's better than being a dumb one who can't remember what they ranted about, even when someone quotes them
  15. SethZoulMonEl 10000 Post Club

    As long as we're on that subject, there have been 89 days since the lockboxes were updated. It is more than possible for a player to have played more than 600 hours in that time. It would require 6 hours and 45 minutes of playtime a day. While that would be difficult for most people, some players do have that much time available to play on a daily basis. You claimed that was not physically possible. A bit of hyperbole on your part, don't you think?

    Unlike other people, will admit when wrong, thank you, didn't know how long ago the revamped Prom Boxes were released, but having 99 out of 100 styles already on all alts sounds a bit much, doesn't it?
  17. SethZoulMonEl 10000 Post Club

    Hard to say. If someone could play 6 hours and 45 minutes per day, I could see 99 out of 100 styles being finished. :p

    Don't wanna be a jerk to the OP because its unfair to him to put up with ******** so let me just put in my Kind 2 cents in on the OP's question and various answers that has caught my eye.

    First off Yes its working fine there are 800 styles in the lockbox hero and villain side gear included. You can't get lucky all the time its the luck of the draw. If you find it crappy just delete the lockbox and make a villain and grind him out yourself. You can't ***** and moan after they did you a favor and added 800 styles in the lockbox. Also if your a style grinder I feel you pain man but keep on trying they are account bound by the way so grind on your alt's if you have alt's to get lock boxes.

    Also who ever mentioned making them able to sell on the broker "**** You" many of the players are greedy and will abuse it just like they have done with these Auras. I like the devs keeping it personal use only. It makes you feel unique.

    Well beyond my previous comment I just put up 5 min ago...this just gave me a new perspective on your situation and you are insanely unlucky I got legendary last month and everytime I got lockboxes I got 8 villain styles, 3 Auras, 3 dinosaurs base item (on different lockboxes). Also just because sometimes its repetitive doesn't mean they're not there.
    What I did was that before I got legendary I saved up my lock boxes I had up to 20 and once I got legendary I opened all of them and got some rare styles like plant head, chest, feet. Than some crap like 6 boxes full of it

    Plant chest is actually from the "Mana-Twisted Plants" collection :p
