Cybernetic Lockbox
Our new lockbox is out! We are trying something a bit different with this lockbox and will be splitting up costumes into individual unlocks, sort of like how the old Timewarp Lockbox was.
A major complaint with the past lockboxes is that players don't feel like they're getting much of value from a lockbox if they don't get one of the rare items. Setting up the costume parts as individual items will gives players a higher chance of getting a neat unlock, as well as promote trading and selling to collect the sets.
The following items can drop:
Errorlevel Loyal Sidekick
Upload Teleport Travel Power
Upload Teleport Travel Device
Target Locked Device
Cybernetic Costume Box
Suspicious Emote
Kneel Recovery Emote
Mental Impact Ultimate Power
Crate of Questionite
Rare Modification Case
Crate of Drifter Salvage
Modification Case + R3 Respite Mod
The Cybernetic Costume Box can drop the following costumes:
Cybernetic Tights
Cybernetic Hair
Cybernetic Jaw
Cybernetic Collar
Cybernetic Shoulders
Cybernetic Arm Accessories
Cybernetic Bracers
Cybernetic Hands
Cybernetic Belt
Cybernetic Boots
Mechanical Monster
Mechanical Mohawk
Mechanical Mane
Cyber Stealth Mask
Cyber Stealth Wire Hair
New Items:
New Perks:
Onslaught Week
Reign of Frogs Open Mission
ZEN Store
Questionite Store
Drifter Store
Misc

How am I going to gear up my alt characters now? I want them to better gear than heroics for endgame Can we please have a VISUAL REFERENCE for the emote?
This is just shooting at the dark
EDIT: Nevermind, Errorlevel in rencen is using it
well im
this is just the whiskers from the dragon mouth masks
Pimping lockboxes isn't to promote trading, it's to promote more key sales. Promoting trading would mean actually improving the AH and adding similar amounts of juicy things to trade by playing the game. What if Legion gear was a rare drop stuff like the Warzone mobs? Or maybe you can blow 975 Hermes Rec to buy a piece?
OnSlaught is still full of sadness.

Suggestion: It's a long one, but bear with me:
1) Make it a coupon, voucher, ticket, instead of a Box, exactly alike the collector store, yes;
2) Make the Showcase NPCs trade your voucher for the costume piece you want;
3) Add an unlock-all voucher from opening the lockbox, as rare as unlocking the old unlock-all costumes in boxes;
4) Make said unlock-all voucher be able to be turned into individual vouchers on the Showcase NPC;
5) Since the Showcase NPC would be gone while the lockbox would stay after a week or more, either add this feature to the Collector, or make it so every new lockbox NPC still shows the old shops, until the costume pieces are sent to Collector's Store for the normal collector vouchers.
That way, you are bringing both options and encouraging selling these vouchers. Would most likely not want to call them "vouchers" so to not confuse with the Collector's.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
1.Reign of Frogs Open Mission doesn't have Perk/Titles for multiply completitions? why? Asciing for Trouble has!
2.What are the names of the new death perks? We would appriciate if the names of the perks were in the patch notes so we can know in advanced
3.What's with those INHUMAN numbers for perks? 5000 uses? really?
4.Why Respite mod has both Damage Type resistance AND HP bonuses while other Resistance mods (fire, ice, toxic e.t.c) don't have?
Regular Gadroon mobs drop the new Pressure Defense 3, not just mobs that are part of Reign of Frogs.Intended?I didn't read carefully.
D'oh!

My characters
Weapons cannot have access to materials options
Only the Back costume can, it's Working as Intented
There's also a big problem with the new Dragon Whiskers, the whisker on the character's left side is totally warped, a problem that didn't happen on the Dragon Mask that they were taken from...

I really hope so, that so called Khopesh looked more like a Scythe instead of an actual Khopesh
Also.... #5 seems to be using an alternate material option. Or is this a case where the material is chosen by the power?
And yeah I have no idea what's up with #1..... It looks like a thin-blade variant, but I have no idea how or if you could use that.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My characters
The "Material" and different variations you see in each was created exclusively for different powers
- #1 is for Laser Swords
- #2 is for SIngle and Dual blade
- #3 is just the backpiece
- #4 is the Heavy Weapon
- #5 is the TK blade
The different "material" and variations you see for each one is exclusive to the powerframe that is using it
but that thats alittle much for a outfit
An Electric or Gadgeteer revamp would fit with the theme of the lockbox (which appears to be cyberspace apparently)
watch when the costumes flood the AH and stay there unsold
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My characters
There a few people who have the entire set already.. and they bought the pieces fairly cheap from the AH. You don't really have to gamble if you don't want too -- at least right now, since the box is current.
The perks are in the Exploration tab
25 times - Spaceship title
200 times - Space Invander
i don't know what is next
I saw someone post that they got all the pieces for less than 1000 G and I'm glad for them. Not really possible now though unless you count gifts from friends or "mates' rates"
It's early days tho' I suppose it's *possible* that prices could drop again.

So i'm happy.

I got them all cheap too, but it's a different story now. Maybe they will drop again for those that weren't fortunate enough to be in the initial trading frenzy, only time will tell.

Prices will be very spiky early on...both unusually high and low. They'll settle down by Monday and then get less expensive over time as the people who must have the latest thing ASAP acquire everything and no longer need it.

1) I love how some of them have extra material types: glass, shadow, holo, psi, etc. It means I plan on getting a few pieces I was otherwise expecting to skip (bracer, shoulders, I just wish they were more consistent, because right now, some have these extra material options and some don't, and this makes it a bit harder to get everything matching properly if you want to step outside the normal cloth-leather-metal box.
2) I want to love this belt--I mean I kinda do because of the buttcape, but those clunky sideplates are killing me. It'd be nice to have an option to hide them. Plus, I kind of was hoping for a buttcape I could use along with the arcane mage belt, but instead, they compete. On well, one of these days, the dream of using both a crotchcape AND a buttcape together will be realized.
Also, while I suspect this is just a limitation of how the semitransparent material types work, it'd have been nice to choose between both the basic "cape" look as well as the "stripped" appearance for all material types.
Not that it matters much since this is already live (I was late to the PTS party, oops) but figured I'd mention these things anyway, then hope for the future.
