Looks like we will be getting the key-change on the 17th with the Sea of Moving Ice update...

Adventurers,
One of the processes we are trying to streamline internally is aligning our Console and PC features for when Xbox One and PS4 versions catch up to the current module. Because Console has additional steps due to Certification, release dates must be decided in advance (which, of course, can still be delayed at the last minute because it’s game development and if something will go wrong, the other thing you didn’t expect will go wrong). With M10b releasing on Console on 1/17, we needed to include the key changes on that date. In an effort to continue providing our PC players Preview access to new features, we made the decision to put this change on Preview as early as possible given the chaos of December and Holidays. This meant that the earliest date available for preview was last week. We felt that, while one week was a short time, it was still more optimal than no Preview access.
As stated in the key change blog, we understand this update doesn’t address all the concerns and we have been absorbing all your feedback. Because design changes are a constantly evolving part of game development, we felt that stating that the preview would only last a week would create a sense of finality that we are not intending. We will continue to ask for constructive feedback, now with the benefit of larger volume of players interacting with the changes, and having both internal discussions on Key Changes/Chest Rewards and communicating with our players as best as possible.

I guess it's going to be a lot more expensive for console players to get their legendary marks for the new Runic weapons, from Assault on Svardborg, when you can't see if it is the mark you need...
Not cool Cryptic, not cool at all...

Could the last player to leave NW please remember to turn off the lights and make sure the door is closed behind them? It still doesn't close properly, even after all the feedback "they've listened to" since release...
So...what are you complaining about again?
I saved up 90 runic keys already because I figured FBI was not worthwhile and I could use them better for MSVA but with this new "up"date I am mostz likely to burn those through without getting HAMSTER.
As if it was not HAMSTER enough that we console players are treated as second class citizens and only get half of the goodies that PC has, no, now we are getting screwed all over again.
Who else is reminded of the coalward fiasco?
I'm also just going to skip around the whole point of PCs and consoles having different specifications and processing powers...because I'm not getting into that debate without hitting myself at least 10 times due to stupidity.
The drop rate will be low, yes. The drop rate for EVERYTHING is low. This is nothing new.
I swear, every sodding gaming forum....
That is something I can't help you with. Got better things to do anyway.
And I guarantee, you'll be wrong on your assumptions. These assumptions are always wrong.
Now I will be a smartass myself and give you some useless advice: Don't like how people are always complaining? Stay away from the forums then! No one is forcing you to visit this website. Also you are complaining yourself, you are complaining about other people that are complaining. Assumptions? I didn't make any assumptions. It's simply the truth. Btw, hypocrite much? "These assumptions are always wrong." Aha... yeah, whatever.
Of course its not hard to get them. You just put your wallet out and there you go.. or exchange your Ad and get them for free. It's not hard to get a legendary dragon key, to get a legendary mark, however, will be, but hey, we only need 30 of them.
I don't really have a problem with getting the key update. PC got it too. The problem I have is that PC had plenty of weeks time to farm those legendary marks without having to spend their keys for each and every trash loot chest, while we don't have this time. Its those weeks that could save us millions of AD and a lot of frustration.
Once again, we are treated as second class citizens, that's the problem I have. And that's not the first time we get treated like this.
the runic keys cant be used in SVA so there is no point in saving them up
I am simply going to say NO THANK YOU to these new weapons. Even tough they may be more than slightly better than the ones we have right now, i do not feel its worth the hassle to farm for them. If the new 10 men raid is slightly similar to FBI, just running it should be hard to do, as peoples get clicky and run it among themselves. I barely did FBI like 5 times since its release and im a 3.6 GWF with mostly rank 11s and 12s. I am able to run it, its just its rare peoples offer spots even in alliance, as they usually do it among themselves. SKT has burned me out so much on running for the boons etc that i couldn't forced myself on making keys for FBI either, i bough a pack of dragon key thinking "who knows i may be lucky" and then i had the chest being glitchy on me 2 times in a row... Wich i then said "ok good bye FBI, and Hamster you as they like to say in there"
I feel it will be the same for the new raid for me. Honestly im crossing finger on achievements that won't be too much of a pain, like FBI at least it was just once. But if there is an achievement for fully refining one of the new weapons for exemple, im calling quit on the game no joke.
One of the thing that has keep me motivated to play this game is the achievements, they where always kinda fair minus the bugs during Underdark for throne etc and i had fun trying to keep my character up to do date to be able to run the new content. If i loose completion possibility cause of a bad achievement, im just leaving and that will be it.
Im just hoping ill be able to run quickly trough mod 10.5 stuff without too much hassle or grinding, get the achievements and just say good bye to this content and wait for the next one, wich from what i saw on PC, looks like its gonna be better (at first glimpse)
I supose SKT only appeal to peoples that are maxed 4.3 IL and have an already maxed guild, cause i hate how it does not give anything for us to keep helping growing guild and/or our characters outside the campaign itseLF. How sharandar for exemple gives thaum stones or dread ring stuff for artifacts. Weeklies giving ADs etc
But what NW need to understand is even if you do max your character, lots of peoples like to have 2-3-4 characters. Honestly i run a GWF as main wich i did SKT with, but i also have a GF and im STILL working on him for running CN... I was able to complete it the other day with lots of scrolls of life etc lol, but i know in a couple months he should be able to not sweat it too much as i am getting to rank 12s on most of my azure on GWF. So after that ill up the azures on my GF. BUT...
Despite all of this... i do not see myself running SKT with him... Like NO WAY. It was a pain already to do it with GWF, so nop nop nop....
Not a good thing really when the content does not motivate peoples to run it.

As long as I've been able to use Demonic keys I couldn't believe we could choose whether or not to use the key to open a chest... AFTER we used the key to open the chest and look inside.
So they will work the same as lockbox keys in future eh?
Ok. Shame, but not worth having a prolapse over.
I make a couple of demon keys a day and sometimes a couple of dragon keys, and use them.
I don't hammer the same Dungeon/Trial over and over, so don't tend to run out that often.
But I can't wait for that new tab...
It's not feedback, it's just a heads up for those that happen to browse the forums, and since you haven't deemed this change important enough to inform us about it, why not keep it in "general"...
As far as the new content, this too seems to be gated behind new gear and frost resist again so I won't be able to run this either. It is too bad, pretty soon the only free thing about this will be log out
