VIP Dungeon Delve Keys

in General Discussion (PC)
So... first off, I just got VIP rank 1 since my Zen Exchange finally went through. I was surprised to see a dungeon key as part of the rewards since it's listed as rank 2 in this post:
http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/9492533-neverwinter:-introducing-the-vip-program!

But then I was quickly disappointed... it was an Epic Key, on EVERY character, even my pre-60's. What good is an Epic key on a level 35? I was looking forward to a few extra dungeon runs, I mean they're called Dungeon Delve keys in the post... that implies to me that they function like the daily key you get in PE.

Why are they all epic? Is this a bug? Intended? It's really rather disappointing... if Epic keys could work in standard dungeons I'd be fine, but after testing I can confirm that they don't. Kind of a downer.

    Honestly it's great. I just came back so I'm still getting my toons to 70 and I'll have a nice stockpile of keys. Pre 70 chests are worthless, but it means I can farm the HAMSTER out of the epic dungeons when I hit 70.

    I'd rather farm the **** out of ToS during delve hour to get back some of the 500k AD I just spent :x

    What are you going to farm during a normal? Nothing is worth anything.

    Dungeon delve hour, 3k AD per chest opened, ToS can be run easily 4 times in an hour (using 3 free keys from VIP and the daily), which comes out to 15k AD with the daily quest. It takes time, but it'd make back a chunk of the AD I spent on VIP.

    Meh... still a profit if I consider the Enchanted Keys I get, still a bit bummed though... I was super stoked to go dungeon delving but now it only works for one of my characters. I guess the stuff you get from epic chests can always be salvaged, it just takes way longer than standard dungeons.

    Kinda cheap to complain about this when you are getting 30 enchanted keys that will yield random larger benefits as well as atleast 1 coalescent ward purchased with the bars.

    The trade bars seem nerfed. I only get between 3-7 every time. Seems like I used to get up to 15-20 in the past. I've been opening the woodland ones--that have the Aranea and Stag.

    As a person who has bought and used over 30 enchanted keys with nothing even coming close to break even- I'd really prefer the consistent reliable method of making AD to free lotto tickets :/

    I'm surprised you can't open standard chests with Epic keys. If they nerf the dungeons a little, maybe I'll try Epic again.

    Ive had 10 bars for 3 days running on the tradebars, however I have also had 1 and 3 bars on the first 2 I used.

    Also, as epic keys, its a free 5k AD key, to use on epics at 70, Personally i would rather stockpile them and then use them at 70 to open a chest that will drop something that gives between 3-8k AD being salvaged, other junk and the rough AD during delves removing the 5k AD cost for the key, instead of using them up to open a chest that the standard key costs 2.5k for. If youre characters are being used as playing chars that is instead of just AD/trade mules.... once youre 70 i would be surprised if youre only going to run 1 epic per day when gearing up.

    It's not all as bad as I'd first thought, I'll admit I overreacted a bit, but I still feel like I was misinformed since they labeled them as 'Dungeon Delve Keys' in the blog post... which really sound like they should work for any chests, or be level-appropriate like the ID scrolls. 1-60, standard key, 61+ Epic.

    I dunno, personally I don't run epics that much cause PUGs are just a waste of time usually and my guild only does so much, given I'm still catching up on Campaigns with my main while simultaneously trying to level a few lower level toons, I just don't see myself or the average player running that many epic dungeons. T1 is certainly more feasible, and this way I can get both cache of Protector and Elements each day without buying a key...

    Ultimately I guess it's just the misinformation that bugs me, and how I'd kept psyching myself up with how easy it'd be to get 15k AD a day with multiple toons. With the recent 'account wide unlock' companions debacle I suppose I was just making a mountain out of a molehill.
