The Opening of Temporal Lock Boxes & the Results!

levi3

Ok I like others am pretty psyched about this new box - yes yes another box - yes yes canon canon.. blah blah

The point of this thread is that I have 250** keys and I want to share the results of what I get box by box right here. So as Soon as they go live I will start openning boxes and will post the results for each box - exactly what I got - so 250 posts in all from me!! + 1 or 2 extra possible rage posts if after 200 I don't get a grand prize!

Anyways it will all happen on the 1st day in the first few hours(I will have to spend a few hours collecting them on day 1) so you will get an idea just what you get from 200 keys!!

My Human Sci Officer "Jenny" will be openning these boxes - and she's Blonde - so there will be lot's of jumping up and down!!

Wish her luck!!

**(amended from 200)

***(Of course these are my own results - yours will be different - and since I don't have actually odds for anything - the results are just for your entertainment)

P.S. I know that there are those of you that get thrills "dumping/deleting" boxes so I would appreciate you mailing them to me while I am doing this. Thx

So to help me get the results out faster you can send them to me in game "jenny@levi3"

Rather than spamming your own thread, just updated the OP with the results.

That would be a HUGE post - line by line - box by box - I don't think it would work. I think it would visually look more tidy if it was 1 post per box - box #3, 4, 5 - each with it's own post. There is soooo much stuff in this box I really don't think 1 post is practical.

I personally would subscribe to this thread if that still worked.

In fact, I just did, in case it gets fixed soon.

Personally everyone loves to whine about boxes - it's probably the only thing I have not made a thread about yet.

I personally believe as far as the whole lock-box/Lobi Store thing goes - THIS IS THE BEST YET!!!

Only one thing bugs me - I think Lobi should be Account bound.

Thats not what I meant. What I meant was:

X boxes opened,

X item A won
X item B won
X item C won
etc

X can be updated as often as you like. If you are actually concerned about being tidy, you cant get more tidy than that.

Personally, I would prefer it to be done in blocks of 10 or more. 200 posts are annoying to read since that would create 20 pages of posts. 2 pages are far easier on the reader than 20.

Then people would not see the thrill of what came out of each box - it would just be an expanding data set - not too interesting.

Ok sounds good - 1 post for 10 boxes!!

I guess I misunderstood you. When you said you wanted it to look visually tidy, I thought you actually meant that.

kingdoxy

You should also include how much Lobi you get.

And did you get the keys from spending EC? Or did you grind Delithium for the Zen and buy them? Or did you actually buy them with cash?

skurf

So basically you want people to send you free early lockboxes so you don't have to pay for them and can sell the goodies at the super-early premium price. yeah.

And 200 keys will tell you nothing that you can base anything off of, other than how lucky or unlucky you happen to be.

You should at least do it at the end....

My last character slot and I created a Borg, now lets get me one of those spiffy new science vessels...from the future.

Did you not read the part where he specifically stated he was asking the subset of players who just delete the boxes to send them to him instead?

And what does it matter to you if he plays missions for the boxes or if people email him boxes they were just going to dump anyway?

Oh - YOU wanted to be the guy who got in early on selling stuff at premium price but don't have anyone willing to send you boxes?

Yeah.

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Thx boglejam for pointing out the obvious - I will get them any way I can - mission/exchange/ or people sending me them - there are many people who I read their threads and they read mine who just collect them to throw out the airlock.

Posting all this info is going to be a bit of work(and I have a starbase T3 to finish!!) so I am not doing it for my own entertainment - I am posting this for others to see - and yes as I stated and a poster stated it's all luck - you could open 1000 boxes and not get a ship - but 200 keys(bought with the sale and on exchange) is a good sample.

I will list everything from each box - including amount of Lobi received.

This is for YOUR entertainment/curiosity as much as mine - or I would just sit there and do this and say nothing. That would be easier and take less time.

Some people are saying the Game is dying, the forums are dying, the community is dying - well I am here every day to show that it is not and this will just be another fun thing to read!!

More boxes would be better to get probabilities, but 200 would give a good idea. Besides, opening 200 boxes would give at least 800 lobi crystals which should get you at least the Temporal Destroyer even if you don't get the Wells Class or Korath Class ship.

walshicus

I don't think it makes sense to do even 10 boxes per post.

Why don't you just create an Excel file and link to it through Skydrive? Then you can show line by line what you earned.

I think the Destroyer is a lockbox ship and the shuttles are Lobi. Could be way off there.

The Destroyer is also in the Lobi store.

Levi, I'd be totally willing to send you some boxes as well. I'm honestly curious.

You are way off.

As a counterpart to these ships, we're also introducing the Temporal Destroyer as an addition to our Lobi Crystal Store offerings. The Federation will be able to obtain the sleek Mobius Class Destroyer, while members of the KDF will obtain the deadly Krenn Class Destroyer.

drop me a mail in-game (@hippiejohn).
I will mail you all the lockboxes I get my hands on from playing multiple alts.
Looking forward to seeing your results.

Where am I asking for people to send me their boxes (unlike the OP)? I don't plan on opening any of these boxes, but I understand how they work. It's a seller's market for the exclusive lockbox items during the first few days because of the limited amount of drops. Considering the odds are estimated to be between 1:100 and 1:300 for the previous boxes, opening 200 of them will do nothing to determine the odds.

And Exactly how much cash did 200 keys cost you?

just curious so we can get a dollar figure to all these winnings you are about to get.

notapwefan

if I know your ingame handle then I'll send them to you if they cost less than 500 ec

Temporal lock box , just say no.

What's the point in a temporal ship when we can't go back or forward in time for that matter.
Yes they look nice but really, we are getting so many ships we should not have access to , galors , marauders , orb weavers , and now a future ship.
What's next giving people Borg ships, that's a bad idea to.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind lock boxes , seeing the surprise inside , but can't we get stuff more relevant to us, like a ship that falls in line with what we are, what era we are in. What faction we are?

I know I'm going to get Greif from for saying this but I just wanted to stress a point.

I 100% agree with you. However, I myself hate lock boxes because they are an un-ethical business practice in my point of view. So whatever.

Thanks, I will be in game just after the launch and updating so any that people send will sure speed things up - and if past lock-boxes are any measure they won't be hard for you to find!

Thanks Hippie it will help. As I stated my Human Sci toon Jenny will be openning them so my mail will be simple "jenny@levi3"

I just bought 100 Keys for 9,560 Zen, while the Keys are on sale. I still have 9,000 Zen on my Account and will have earned 1,500 Zen more by the end of the month via playing and my Stipend. I did not buy any of the Zen from Cryptic. Every penny of it has been earned simply by playing.

I can't speak for the person you're asking, but for myself the dollar amount is zero: whatever I win cost me nothing. It was all earned simply by playing a couple of hours a day.

You have 200 Keys? You need to find yourself something better to spend your money on.
