As a player who likes to “roll the dice”, I think it would be fun to turn the Black Lion Chests into an animated Gachapon. While some people may disagree with this (because of RNG and whatnot), I think that having a Gachapon could be a mini game unto itself.
You can purchase “spins” from the Gem Store, exactly like Black Lion Keys, and visit the Evon Gnashblade “game house” in LA. The machine would spin, and out would pop your prize! The prize list can be the exact same as what the BL Chests currently have. The only difference here is that it’s so much more fun to play!
Another idea would be to introduce the “Gara Gara”. The Gara Gara is a wooden Japanese lottery box that you spin, and colored balls drop out. Sorta like a Bingo cage. Only instead of item prizes, you can win Gold or Gems, depending on what colored ball drops out. Critics might say that there shouldn’t be this in GW2, but if you think about it, we already had this by way of the Moa Races. You had a 1 in 5 chance of doubling your money. The Gara Gara would just be a different game with the same concept.
What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear what other players think of this idea.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
I don’t see a point. adding some animations doesn’t change the fundamental basics of how the item works
Resident smug Englishman on the NA servers, just because.
