Guild Wars 2

start incorporating Black Lion Chest Keys into some of our new one-shot reward tracks.

one shot reward tracks, kitten.

should put them into repeatable reward tracks.

Yes; Maybe not one you can spam over and over but something like ‘this track can be activated again in 30 days after it is completed.’

Call it ‘Black Lion Track’, have it award key in the end, with ‘track reward steps’ being random loot boxes that each contain one black lion ‘loot roll’ without need for a key.

30 days is too long.
7 days is fair. same as PvE.

A 7 day repeatable track would fit inline with the changes to the story line. +1 here.

This seems like a great idea but they don’t want people to get black lion keys easily

Yeah they definitely need a weekly PvP track that has 6 charges, a BL key and more generally useful items.

With the queue times I’ve been getting lately I’d be lucky to get 1 every 2 weeks.

I already said it in the other thread. Black Lion Keys are meant to be a mass used item, as the ration of ticket gain to ticket needed suggest. Even one per day require a massive time investment to get a single weaponskin. Don’t even consider getting a single set of matching weapons. That will take years… at a rate of 1 key per day. One key per week, while they might add many keys to the game, are split across hundred thousands of account. A hundred thousand scraps per week split over 400-thousand accounts means nothing. The average player will very likely never get something out of those 1 key per week thingy every is suggesting. And with the average player I mean something in the 98~99.5% range of all players participating in PvP. As of right now, if you disregard buying items with real money and only farm for yourself (not buying from the TP), it is easier to get a legendary… or a set of legendaries instead of a single high end Black Lion weapon skin. It’s that hilarious how bad the droprates are.
