    Would be more excited, but the only mount I can use is an Axebeak due to the stats... I cry each time I look at my Inferno Nightmare mount in my bank, or my beetle that I loved...

    would KILL for some type of "Reinforcement Mount Kit." That lets me put 4k stats onto a mount of my choice. Id even pay 4kzen for that type of thing!

    They should remove the on equip bonuses and place them on mount equipment. Like a saddle or something.

    I hope that the artifact pack in the lockbox is updated to drop lv 70 items and not lv 60 necks and belts, no one needs those anymore since they are horribly outdated.

    Well, if...
    the Ensorcelled Arsenal and the Trove of Elemental Evil would be in some Glorious Resurgence Pack,
    and the Professions Special Pack, Companion Fortification Kit and Genie's Gift would also find their way into some Glorious Resurgence Pack,
    then i might see a small chance on getting something usefull out of this new lockbox.

    But with my current luck on those lockboxes, i guess it will be less then a handfull Trade Bars and one of those blue packs, kits or gifts...

    So could we at least get some change to the Trade Bars then?
    If we pull [censored] out of the lockbox, could you give us at least a decent amount (above 10 maybe?) of Trade Bars with it?

    Other then that, it looks like an improvement in the lockbox department.

    I am sorry but - that does not make sense.

    The reason for the last resurgences was that one could open a specific lockbox to get the most wanted reward (e.g. tensers disk pre-140%...)
    If you mix everything into one box, what can we expect? :D

    You hope and pray that you get the "Legendary" pack and then you get to pick the danged disc.

    It absolutely makes sense.

    Well, i'm still wondering, why they can't pack the [censored] filler loot into a separate Glorious Resurgence Pack?
    That would at least give us players a chance to pick something we maybe even have use for from it...

    I agree with this...let us pick what fluff we want...but it would be nice to have something new in it

    and as usually it will drop companion fortification kits(without tokens) and symbols of the cult 99% of the time.

    but way to recycle old content. again. perhaps 1 day a developer there might have an original idea. one can only hope

    So if you are a new player that don't have any mounts you can choose between many.I know for those of you who have tons of mounts it looks like lame but for me it's pretty good. Now if i can ask about zone chat getting spam by gold sellers in protector's enclave is it always like that and is there a way to not see it.

    I wish everything in these lockboxes were at least useful for something. Having to use zen I really hate seeing completely useless things like the symbol of the cult. Or even appearance changes for weapons that nobody even wants to buy! Got V.I.P the day it came out and used over 250 keys and the best thing I've gotten is an air archon. I doubt I'll spend anymore money on this for keys or even VIP when it expires. 21 keys used today which I wish i waited for this new box since 7 out of the first 9 were companion kits!

    This is just one more way to ruin the failed Neverwinter economy. People will be getting Thayan Books and Metalic Dragons at triple the rate of the original drops and people will leave this game to go to anything else. Being a key farmer myself and hopin to see the efforts of my real money pay off considering the amount of hours I have logged in dungeons and fighting in the stronghold being wasted as they will be now I think they want people to come in pay $20 get something they have no business equipping or selling only to make true Neverwinter fans shake their heads and weep as artifacts are on players that have no business being on and AD goes from 136/1oo Zen to somewhere in the mid 70's/1oo Zen. This needs to be seriously rethought. I guess when I pull my 3 Legendaries a week I can wipe my <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> with them.

    Double runes this weekend. That's a HAMSTER load of refinement points if you save the boxes to open then.

    Soooooo... the core of your argument is that there will be more of the cool stuff that people playing the game will use to play the game, and that the cool stuff will be cheaper.... and this is a bad thing.

    At least the rework of the tradebar store has made them useful.

    That's coming in the next mod.
