Glorious Resurgence Lockbox Returns!

jganthjganth Member Posts: 89 Arc User
Fantastic! Certainly by your data metrics you collect that this Lockbox is a 'hot item' on your end. The freedom of choice is always a welcome advantage when the RNG favors you as you spend keys.

Please do the player the justice and REMOVE the 'Adventurers Pack' from this Lockbox. Really.
It's just fine in the Soulmonger's Lockbox (as so appropriately named for many reasons). It's easy to determine based on user-shared data that if a player really wants that 'Adventurers Pack' they're practically guaranteed one when opening the Soulmonger's Lockbox.

    Resurgence shouldn't share with current at all.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Resurgence get updated because its a more general box for players, the epics and legendary are choice packs. Newer players than need the epics companions/artifacts can have a chance to pull them if theres an unpopular legendary mount, like the stag for instance players can still get the updated rewards without the new lockbox epic+ options. Adventurer packs are bad in general, it will pass.

    I'd suggest to change the loot of the Resurgence Lockbox to:
    + Glorious Resurgence Legendary Pack
    + Glorious Resurgence Epic Artifacts/Companions/Mounts Pack
    + Glorious Resurgence Rare Enchantments/Professions/Weapons Pack
    + Tarmalune Trade Bar Jackpot
    and that's it.

    Adventurer/Fashion Packs should really stay in the regular lockboxes they belong to...

    If the Adventurer pack has not been improved, I think I'll pass. 20% chance of something that is essentially worthless makes it too hard to break even.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Yup, the new lockboxes are a complete waste of time if the adventurers pack is in, I opened 3 or 4 soulmongers then went back to to older ones, glorious resurgence is dead too.

    I opened 7 of those boxes today and got nothing but the adventure packs. I'm fairly disappointed. At least the keys were part of the VIP rewards and not something I bought specifically to use with these boxes.

    What do you mean worthless... they're worth 15 - 20 silver! Every 4 - 5 lockboxes you open, there's 1 gold right there. Heh. Yeah, I'll be AH'ing these until the Adventurer packs are removed.

    Over the weekend, my count on Soulmonger lockboxes turned over 999.
    Since its release, i have not opened a single one.. and have NO intention of opening ANY while that stupid Adventurers Pack is in it.
    I discarded 500 Soulmonger boxes... and once the glorious comes out and I am no longer forced to pick them up i will discard the rest.

    Glorious Resuregence, yeah those are dead to me now too. More than likely not opening those either.

    -slow clap-

    Good call Cryptic... good call.

    I will continue to open merchant prince lockboxes with any of my keys until the adventure pack goes away.

    The rare "filler" component would still be there, this would only give players a choice in what kind of "filler" they get.

    Or add the option to exchange any rare pack from lockboxes into Tarmalune Trade Bars at Rhix, giving that poor creature a new job and some life perspective again.

    And the devs already stated that the Adventurer Pack was not intended for endgamers. There are other people that do buy keys, have VIP, etc, that open the lockboxes.

    Well, there isn't anything in the first part of the Adventurer Pack loot, that you can't get from events, other DLCs, promotions, professions or simply the Auction House. And ViP covers the second half of the Adventurer Pack loot.

    Since they plan on changing the Tarmalune Trade Bar store anyway with Ravenloft, they might as well dump those kind of packs into it, and anyone that still wants them can spend some bars to get them from there.

    So drop an adventurers pack AND something else, it's not like there aren't other worthless options there

    ...and revert it to just for endgamers...

    And they'll be discouraged as well when they get an Adventurer Pack. A new player getting something worthwhile might be tempted to invest in more keys.. but those getting an AP should learn quickly to close their wallets.

    Leveling characters would find the things in the pack useful.

    They would find the AD from a useful pack even better, since they could buy what they need and pocket the remainder.

    The primary purpose of Lockboxes is not to throw the contents in the Auction House.

    This may be true, but I, and I'm sure 99.9% of other players, aren't going to sit on stacks of Rare Insignias from those awesome Mount Packs, nor are they going to keep the garbage from an Adventurers Pack, because that's what the Adventurers Pack is, garbage. A leveling player might find a couple of things handy, and if that's the case, anyone under level 70 should get it. Once you hit level 70, they go away. I have yet to see or hear anyone say, "HOLY COW!!! I JUST GOT TWO TELEPORT SCROLLS TO MOONSTONE MASK!!!"
