MSVA chests

thefiresidecat · January 2020

Msva shows up a lot in the random que. and that's fine but it's the only trial that has no free chest and no chest that has an easily earnable key and the rewards table is different and more pointless than the other ques. can something be done to fix this. can we earn the keys with normal skt currency instead of dead impossible to get currency? can we have a free chest. can you get rid of the marks that no one uses?

IIRC one of the chests doesn't accept reroll tokens and eats your AD as if you don't notice.

@pitshade yuck. I had no idea. ty for pointing it out.

I like msva but sure would like to see this fixed. it makes it a very pointless trial to run.

I just abandon it when I get it anymore as getting the keys for it is too much like work.

I honestly would like the reroll tokens replaced with the epic dungeon chest keys that we had before. Or better yet, give us both reroll tokens and epic dungeon chest keys. No more potions of health, I dont' use em anyhow, I just sell em for gold. I also keep getting epic dungeons that require me to farm AI quests for keys. And now that my important toons have the boon points from AI, I am boycotting that content as it was the absolute worst campaign ever(I haven't beeninto any AI content since Nov). AI was even worse than Uprising, oh wait Uprising wasn't a campaign, or even a full mod. More of a mod 16b...

no keys have ever worked with these chests other than legendary keys and the currency made keys

This kind of behavior is very disruptive to other players and demoralizes some from playing. Here is why:

Some players only have time to run one set of randoms per day and they need it for the AD. A DPS must wait 20 - 40 minutes just to get into a queue. Once there... they might fire up 5k worth of consumables. Then a player or disconnects and forces the rest of the team to wait and cross their fingers that everyone doesn't start quitting. Once in... if more peeps quit, they find themselves dying because the few remaining players have to absorb all the hits. They might burn a few Mass Life pots.

At the end of the day.. a string of peeps quitting for 'convenience' makes a mission take twice as long for the remaining players and they get half the reward... or burn 10k in consumables to get a "fail" .

and if I'm not mistaken the best thing from msva doesn't drop from a chest anyway, isn't the frozen polar bear directly to inventory? I don't drop if I get msva even if I don't get a chest. it's only 8 minutes. might as well get it overwith.

Aah, a familiar topic. Never did get a response. https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussion/1245621/why-no-free-chest-in-msva

Tiamat could use a free chest too, alone with Throne, Prophecy, and anything else that doesn't have one.

@froger#9967 jan last year, it's the yearly question as to why.

I understand it can be disruptive to others if my tank or healer drop when they get MSVA, but it's not worth my time if I can't open all the chests. And since I refuse to spend ad to zen on Legendary dragon keys anymore it'll never be worth it since farming for the 3 keys takes forever. Everytime I have run it it takes at least 15-20 min. I don't think I've ever been in one that has been over in under 10.

Tiamat gives stuff directly to inventory that would be in that free chest.

thefiresidecat · January 2020

it may give stuff directly, so does msva, but I'd still rather it was a free chest. at least that way you could re roll it.

I second that, as it makes it much more obvious that you gained the reward from that activity.

really wishing the hellpit had a free chest too with some rewards from the event. even if it sucked most of the time it would give it a little farm value that is lacking due to one toon a day. as it is hell pit is a non event imo

froger · January 2020

I find opening chests exciting and at times demoralizing (still waiting for that sudden precision +5). But I still get my hopes up everytime I open a chest there will be something cool inside. Loot dropping directly to inventory just doesn't have the same feel to it.

thefiresidecat · January 2020

loot dropping directly into inventory feels more like the boss drop than whole dungeon rewards. especially in the instances where you couldn't really expect there to be a boss drop

stryker80 · January 2020

Once a campaign is considered "legacy", it would be great if the associated dungeon / trial chests required a generic key which could be "bought" with any legacy campaign currency.
