    Hi Strumslinger

    I'm going to be opening 5 boxes per week for a month or so and giving all the items from the boxes away to one lucky winner each week, I was just wondering if it was ok to post the Youtube link to the box opening video to allow people to enter the competition? I am earning nothing from doing this other than maybe getting some Youtube subs and Twitter follows.

    Please let me know if its ok to start a new thread when I am able to post regarding this weekly giveaway.

    Thanks

    Feeling a little torn about this… I think the idea of mounts having stats is fine, as is the idea of rare mounts that only a few players get the opportunity to own, but 4000 to armor penetration seems extreme. That’s enough AP that you can pretty safely ignore that stat totally on the rest of your gear, and its obviously a pretty significant advantage for the players who are lucky or wealthy enough to own one.
    This isn’t like any other lockbox prize I know of. Sure, lockbox buyers have always had an advantage, but if you couldn’t get the A++, BiS artifact or companion of the month, you could just get something almost as effective via normal gameplay; and even then the advantage is a few hundred points – nothing in the league of 4000.

    I worry this is the dawn of true ‘pay to win’ in Neverwinter.

    David I agree, it seems like the items I'm getting should be coming for normal drops. Profession aid kits, toys that serve no purpose? I'm not saying that lock boxes are useless, but I have stopped opening the new ones because all I ever get is rare items with the occasional epic refinement. I received much better gifts back during the winter festival. You'd think that if I'm paying to open these boxes their payout would be exclusively GREAT ITEMS!

    There's only a small chance of getting something good. This makes the good things that come from them very valuable.

    The small chance of getting something worth millions encourages players to buy keys & some players buy hundreds of them.

    That's the whole point - Cryptic profit from the key purchases.

    If items dropped more regularly, they would be less valuable & people would buy fewer keys.
