So when we said "everything after winter wonderland LB is too soon" and "How about add some of those costume pieces that are no longer available", did that get ignored, or do you guys just not care?

It may be neither of those options. Perhaps they did hear ya and they do care but it was too late for this Lockbox and are looking at the options of doing this for another timewarp lockbox.
They are already doing this one because they listened to folks who missed out on this stuff.
All previous rewards that were part of the game as rare drops to find in game from mobs and specific named bosses should go back to where they belong and NOT in a thing I have to pay for.
I agree completely with this. The balance, imo, must be maintained between things I earn with time-based currency, things I earn ingame through farming, and things I just throw some cash at to get instantly. So sell me the latest Z-Store Costume Set and I'll likely buy it. Put some new stuff in the Q-Store and Recog Vendors(no really, please do this) and I'll end up with it. Put the things lost from this game back into the game where they belong and, IMO, it will positively impact people actually using more of the PvE content than just alerts to hit LvL 40 because....well...because. I would love to see the return of:
-The Rare OM Rewards(alot of which don't even need edited to be put back in the game..although Gear with unlocks and PRs with unlocks would likely need to be replaced with normal unlocks).
-Missions which reward unlocks and Legacy Devices.
-Mobs you farm to get unlocks and Legacy Devices.
Also, for something like this I would love to see some pretty "vague" patch notes when it goes live..intentionally. Just say something like, "We've heard the requests of the playerbase and in response have returned over 50+ costume unlocks, Legacy Devices, and OM Rewards to the game where they belong. Good hunting." This adds all kinds of things because now people are scouring the content to find new goodies. They tell friends. The 1st copies of some of these(please don't make alot of this BoP but BoE unless it's a mission reward which is traditionally BoP) hit the AH Scene high and as more come in they prices go down. It would, IMO, generate a spark....without needing to actually make alot of stuff(except, of course, porting the PR and Gear Unlocks into regular unlocks). Give the players a reason to go out into non-Alert PvE. Give them a reason to farm. Give them a reason to run missions. Give them a reason to show up at an OM. I believe that this kind of action would give alot of positives compared to(and I am guessing here) the amount of work it would take as opposed to doing something like this from scratch.
Also, those contest winner Alert Villains could each get a mini-mission arc and their own drops(both Mission and Alert Versions). Bring them into the fold. Give Ao'Qephoth both a costume unlock and his own device drop and watch people think twice about shunning him when he pops up in an alert(also, please cut back on that a lil since he's the most common villain to show up in all three base alerts at the same time...and it's not an uncommon thing).
So yeah, I think something like this would rock. :biggrin:

One thing. Open missions ala takofanes - good. Open missions aka Kigatilik (damage based) - bad. Not in a kiga hunting team? Good. Luck.

Damage-bases OMs work just fine for most of them -- I did plenty of farming of them pre-Alert, and most of the time I simply had no competition, though there would be people who randomly had points because the OM had been up for hours and someone accidentally killed something. The problem with cosmics is that they're actually fairly short fights, but have extremely long cooldowns, whereas open missions generally have pretty short cooldowns but are a significant effort to complete, and thus not heavily camped.
While it would be interesting to see the Pheremones and AF returned to Qwyjibo and Teliosarus...I'm thinking on a much grander scale with this in all honestly. I'm talking about putting back the Robot Factory for the Destroid OM. I'm talking about putting the Psionic Echos back as the mission reward for that one Psi Mission. I'm talking about the Elder Worm Humidity Dome going back to Most Elder of Elder Worms. I'm talking about ALL the unlocks missing from Therakiel's Temple and Nemesis Confrontation going back where they belong.
On Alert gave us many things but it also took many things as well. I am simply saying to put them back please. Then put the PRs(in new "just an unlock" forms) back where they were in the original missions, or the 5ks, or if they didn't have a home before just toss them into the appropriate mob group's drop table as an uncommon or rare(nothing ultra rare for these please).
Simply put, use old stuff to breed new life into old content for people who may have missed this stuff because they either simply missed it or they're newer players who never had a chance to get it.
Oh, and just for giggles(and to keep the vets on their toes too) toss in some of the weapon geos sitting in the live files that nothing in this game uses. The Heroic Bow, The Fantasy Bow, the Blunderbus Pistols, and so on(I'm just rambling off the few I remember but I seem to recall from that PTS Glitch once upon a time there were, even at that time, something insane like 100+ Weapon Geos that no mob, boss, npc, or PC has access to use). Speaking for myself, just hook those things up to mobs and I will plow a path through mobs to find them...cause more stuff is more stuff.
Disclaimer: I already have evergy single weapon geo in this game except one(and it still drops ingame, I just don't have it yet). I have almost every costume unlock. I have most of these devices in both Click Upgrade(Original) versions and/or Legacy Device versions. So this isn't for me(except for that last lil bit, of course). It's just something I see people asking for and think could have a very positive impact with the game overall. I'm not saying anyone has said anything like this to or about me...I just wanted to get out in front of that one just in case.
