why cant they do unlocking lockboxes the same for champions online as in the DCUO sub way. you pay a fee why have to have the torture to pay more to unlock a lockboxes with awsome stuff inside.
we already shell out money for extra stuff like aruas and some special effects, us subbers should get free box unlockes atleast like a limit of ten free keys a week since they drop so often i already got like 30+ in like a few hours of play.:cool:

Want another reason? DCUO has the backing of Sony and Warners behind it so if they wanna give freebies it hardly touches their bottom line. CO doesnt have that economy of scale to fall back on.

Also, can you imagine if they let you open lockboxes for free? I have like 3000 of them sitting in my bank right now. The day they announced that golds get to open lockboxes for free, I would give them all to Bacon Overlord so he could open them and DECIMATE the in game economy with all the stuff he got out of them xD

You pay for a subsciption and get a 500 zen stipend (like me)..........Consider your subscription is $10 and your stipend is $5. That's what I think the subscription is worth atm.

you get
free costumes,(475z per pack)
free at's (1150zen per set)
free character slots at L40,(1400zen per 2)
free retcon tokens,(1250zen each)
free hideout,(625zen)
free 500Zen per month,
and you now want another 1000zen per week.
so for $15 per MONTH, you want $45 in zen per month.Not including all the stuff you don't pay for.
as for the drop rate. you are obviously new. They only changed the drop rate with the Halloween one, before that it was 80% of ALL drops, the other 20% being gear and recognition.
we had to prove they were dropping that much and complain to get them to LOWER it to this level.
They have the awesome stuff inside top get people to open them.
I have LTS and a Gold acct. NO I don't think we should get ANY free keys.

in my opinion they should make ALL ATs for free since they rather make money with people buying lockboxes and charslots than selling ATs
just some thought.
I have to disagree with this. Free AT's are plentyfull they paid ones help keep the server running.

Cause I'm worth it. Playing since 2009.
wait.. weren't we talking about lock boxes? First lockbox I ever opened, for free, gave me a hoverbike, so I think they're pretty cool ^3^
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Not really. I subscribe here and DCUO. I use my Stipend here to open lockboxes. In DCUO, I get to open them for free as part of my subscription, and then use that stipend for other things.
Then Cryptic has the most expensive, and yet least impressive, servers in the gaming industry.
It'd more of something I'd support if the money actually went into creating new zones (not alerts) and regular content.
But then again, a few weeks ago that Dev said that if Champions made more money, it'd get more development. So, I guess that's that on the fact that AT's aren't making them real money. Apparently, neither are lockboxes. So, I guess the dream-on milking machine continues.
it's more likely the "it's free to play , so everything should be free" attitude, which is the problem.
ON the comparison chart for that game
Having just seen what the F2p people get in that game, no trading, no AH, limited chat, mail-text only.
and down the bottom- Premium access is given to anyone who spends a certain amount on items in the, in game marketplace, which Free players don't have access to or by purchasing a DLC pack. Yes, I can really see the free players treated well there.
I'll stick with CO.

that woul;d make subbing more worth it also might bring new players to sub if there were more percks for paying a sub:biggrin:
not unless the lockboxes has useless items like the DCUO ones, which you can't sell or trade. except for a potion, which I got from one box.
here the boxes actually have stuff that people want. ALL of which can be sold or traded.

Ahem lockboxes in CO and DCUO are nothing alike. The ones in DCUO are much much much more rare and seem pretty limited to one a day, I'm pretty sure it's only more if you get super lucky.
Free to play players get even less over there than they do here. In fact here you can end up with a FF slot and stuff by grinding.
Different business models, different games.

That's what we've all been pointing out to the people who think they should be free openers here.
Also you'll notice the amount of LTS saying NO to free opening.

Just think how pathetically small the chance to get anything of value would have to be to counter the ability of Golds to open every box they get.
Keys would be worthless.
I'd flip on the Vanguard title if I could figure out where to do so.

keys would be worthless, everything from the boxes would be worthless because of the amount which would be opened.

I figured it might be under that when I didn't see the option anywhere else in the User CP but I was getting the blank page as well.

Making keys a random drop, no matter how low the chance, increases the chance of RMT farmers being around. Making them free ingame drops means bypassing the ZEN wall that is the one thing effectively driving RMT farmers away from being interested in the game.
4000 Tank boxes- yes 4000
300 grav bike
tako boxes
anniversary boxes
winter boxes
tako 2 boxes
archer boxes
foxbat boxes
steel samurai boxes
the ones which were available form the q exchange I have about 100 x 12packs of each. Now imagine someone with a large collection opening them.
even at a low drop rate, thats a heck of a lot of rare items flooding the market. In my case, for free.

We dont need to consider we know DCUO has something SORTA like that and its doing better than CO.

We might laugh at it and as garbage as it is, its doing better. CO might be wise to copy some things from it.

You sure you're not lying? I cannot trust you. You lied about other "stuff."
PC version is buggy but on Playstation its more solid. Going its lame doesnt hide the fact that it does some things better.

People I talk to offline have no idea what CO is. People who are gamers.
As for lockboxes, I have THOUSANDS of lockboxes to spread among my LTS friends for opening. And that's just the tank box. I probably have at least 100 of each one, even after the drop rate reduction, with the exception of the Socbox.

lets see, how do we get Cryptic/pwe to do a LARGE amount of advertising and do regular Large updates. I think DCUO is up to 38 now.
as opposed to NO advertising and yes well..
how about the attack where you have to tap 10 times?
I'm on the European server, on the grounds, that I like not being able to understand zone chat. STill, there's usually only about 5 people at any time talking. large collection of max levels are at the HQ's duelling(looks just like ren center) and spamming for a team member.

It is called believing and investing in your game. Were that the dcuo players magically summon more players or that SOE made a plan and executed to made the game attractive to players?
Whether we like it or not, after CoX demise, DCUO took the place as number 1 superhero mmo, at least in the mainstream. They took a fair share of CoX refugees.
It seems that at some point in the last 2 years, Cryptic decided on giving up on CO about being competitive against other games.
Sterga gets it. What DCUO does better than CO is ADVERTISEMENT!

Of course that helps. But PWE doing some basic banner adds is some places like You Tube or Face Book wouldnt hurt.
