Feedback: Need More Lockboxes

15 levels into the game and only 5 lock boxes. I bought a lot of keys hoping to get more goodies from these things. Is there any chance to increase the drop rates? I thought the rate they used to be at in STO was perfect. I'd like to see that here as well.

Thanks :)

    Neverwinter isn't D&D, it is a MMO based on a game that uses D&D terms but isn't really D&D either. NW is fun (for that matter so is 4E), but it isn't D&D, and once you wrap your expectations around that you will be able to enjoy the game for what it offers and not worry about what it does not.

    Ten levels in and I haven't seen the first one. I have heard they nerf the drop rate to keep people *****ing about getting them like they do in STO. If you're gonna have em drop em.

    LOL. Well if anyone ever wants to ditch those lock boxes for Neverwinter, feel free to send them to @faelandaea :)

    No. Please no.

    I'd rather them not clutter up my entire bank...
    Maybe I'll waste money on keys every once in a while but getting too many boxes will merely irritate me and make me not want to spend money on them.

    I am happy with the drop rate I have experienced thus far.

    I'm with ambisinisterr on this one. The last thing I want is lock boxes dropping left right and center.

    Please, no more lockboxes.

    In STO, I never buy keys. Lockboxes drop from every other monster. I delete all of them. They're more than a nuisance: they're an in-your-face cash gimmick.

    In this game, they're rare enough to actually be a pleasant surprise when I see one. I might just buy keys for them.

    But if they end up throwing them in my face like they did in STO, I'll probably treat NW the same way I treated STO.

    I stopped playing it about a month or two ago, and never ended up getting involved in it enough to spend any money.

    200 AD to vendor purchase lockboxes in town.
    If you can't be constructive in your criticism, go back to world-of-whiners.

    As above, The Wonderous Bazaar sells them for 200AD a pop if you want more of them. I personally like the current drop rate.

    I've seen 12 drop in the 20 levels I've played. Thankfully they stack.

    I'm with Ambi on this. If I get one every once in a while, I may be tempted to buy a couple keys (even though I really don't want to spend money on gear, since I prefer finding it, though I guess the boxes are found ;)). If I get them all the time, they won't be special and it's unlikely I'll buy keys.
    Unsure about skills and feats? Check the Master List of Class Builds!

    You say that as if that's barely any at all...
