It is obvious how well your chests are doing by looking at how many are on the market for next to nothing. After the failure of the drop rate of skins from Halloween everyone has pretty much given up on them.
So now a few new additions have been added to them as “rare” drops? So, why would someone gamble and buy chest keys when they could buy the same thing from the gem store and save 10,000 gems. With the lack of any real way to get the keys from playing, only a buffoon would trust the current state of the RNG from chests.
So a solution, sort of, to get rid of the ridiculous supply of the chests currently on the TP market. Implement a system similar to the Mad King chest except use some logic this time and allow us to actually put the chests we already own in the mystic forge.
So this could become very involved and could steer players into getting something more along the lines of a desired item from the chest.
Make tiered if necessary:
Recipe basic tier 1:
1 BL chest
1 crystal
1 Philosopher stone or 1 mystic coin
10 tier 1 crafting material (copper, green wood, etc.)
Result is a better BL chest. (No clue what that would be).
Now for the interesting part!
So lets say this is a recipe:
10 BL chests
1 Eldritch Scroll
1 “rare” item type of desired result
10 Mystic Coins
Would you use that recipe if you were guaranteed an exotic item or a chance at a precursor of item type that you put in. So say you put a rare greatsword in there and you were guaranteed an exotic with the chance of a precursor?
This would allow us to take some of the total randomness out of the game and also might fix the horrid outlook of the chests as they currently are.
Also, I am talking about the chests even after the Update on Dec. 3rd. The only part I haven’t thought about is if the chests will become unlocked after completing a recipe or if you still need a key.
