Paid key "Flag"

I'd like to see something introduced that lets RNG know that a paid key was used. I recently started buying keys probably $60 CAD over 2-3 months in keys only, because of this I will not buy another key. I'll run with free keys or no keys until something is done.

    Just means the only place that is worth using them is FBI and MSVA. Maybe my point should be 2 tiers of paid keys then...

    What do I need to do to post a damn picture... 2 browsers and nethier work...

    See the pic HERE

    Perhaps if you were linking to the actual picture instead of the page the picture is on. It has to have .jpg or .png or something similar at the end. You were trying to use http://imgur.com/a/kUukO when instead the link you needed was http://i.imgur.com/dieIPlm.png.

    As for the "paid key" vs. free key - how exactly is the game supposed to know if you paid for the key or not? Even if you buy it from the Zen store, how does it know if you exchanged AD for Zen? How far down the rabbit hole are they supposed to go?

    Thx, picture is fixed.

    Ok, a flag of sorts wouldn't be the way to go about it. But some sort of tier'd RNG system maybe?

    Do you agree that it's a light reward for a 2 round tia and a paid key :( And is MSP still dropping R5s?

    A key is a key. I don't see how it matters how you attain it. The loot tables need to be addressed. Adding stuff in has helped but it doesn't seem like the HAMSTER was removed from the tables. Just more entries added.

    Don't buy keys. Grind out the easier campaign ones and ignore ths ones you don't want to do. Problem solved.

    Will the key be consumed if it is in shared bank? If it won't, (in theory) VIP user can pop bank to take one key out for MSVA and FBI.

    He does not want to spend that paid key in (say) eLoL. If he cannot open the 2nd chest in eLoL, he is okay. Sometime, you don't know you can open the 2nd chest in eLoL because you have a crafted key or having a pay key.

    Honestly, I want to buy keys. I play this game, I want to support this game. No money means no game. I can't dump $100s into it, I support a family so I look for things like keys that I can use, are fairly cheap, and can leave me feeling like I got something for the money I put in.

    Running MSVA is why I started buying keys, the rewards felt worth it!

    The key check in Neverwinter is done upon entering a dungeon. Even if you buy dragon keys at the end of a run they can't be used on THAT run.

    Take 3 copies of your current loot table, modify them as necessary. Tier 1-3 rewards. Look for ways to have that implemented in dungeons! There HAS to be a formula that can be applied to a raid to gauge how hard it was and where the rewards should sit.

    Make it known that only Tier 1 rewards from T1 dungeons will come.
    Classify your raids like tia and demo so we know what tier pool is available when we use our keys.

    If I knew I wouldn't even get a piece of salvage from that chest I never would have used a legendary key.

    So you wanna see what's in the chest before you open it?

    Thank you for proving my point. In another thread I mentioned that there was an issue with keys and the loot tables rolling with them. In my case I was talking about lockbox keys, but yes the key/reward system across the board seems wonkie and needs a look over.

    By the way, that loot pull isn't too bad compared to some of the junk I've gotten, and I'm sure there are a few people in game that have pulled worse (I know because they complain about it)
