    Good riddance. I hope against all good sense that this is the end of lock boxes :o :rolleyes:

    yea but they will keep selling master keys to people for no reason at all, other then TRIBBLE you that's why, oh and we like money.


    They will never ever stop doing new lock boxes, it's to good of a money maker.

    Good Luck with this ... with Master Keys & Lobi Stuff still ingame it's not gonna happen, they already built their own Lockbox (-Cage) with this ****, doubt they'll drop this entirely and wonder how it would be possible ... for crying out loud there is an extra Lockbox Key Category on the Exchange ...

    = Tholian or possibly Breen - Lockboxes incoming ...

    PS : pretty sure the reason for Ferengi Lockboxes being around for so long was S6, because they didn't have the time to do the next Lockbox within 2 Weeks ... :P

    A new ship weapon:

    Lock Box Rail Gun
    Fore weapon

    Fires a lock box at your target. Upon impact, there is a small chance to have a Galor/D'kora class ship come out and assist you.

    500 Kinetic damage
    90 degree firing arc
    3 second recharge

    .5% chance: Summoning a Galor/D'kora class ship to your assistence.

    The ship you get depends on whether you're using the Cardassian or the Ferengi version.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Next up, the Lock box Lock box, where you can win a lock box pet to follow you around as you play :)

    It's a strategic Need/Greed tool. You activate it and it floods the windows so other people end up clicking Pass on their chips. :eek::D

    Not sure if they have posted this anywhere, I was just wondering. They have been here for months, and I doubt people are very happy they are still dropping. I assumed they would stop with S6 but I was wrong. Anything more than 2 weeks seems unneccesary.

    Can't wait for the next lockbox and update to the Lobi store. Probably a Breen sci/tac hybrid will be the next ship, but I wonder what they will add to the Lobi store. Maybe a new ship ;)

    Thanks for the "last chance" warning, however the 100's of lockboxes currently in my bank don't need any more friends. :)

    I didn't read thru the entire thread but thought I would put this out there for those that do not know: Lockboxes are here to stay. Whether it is Ferengi, Cardassian, Tholian, Breen, Remen, Vulcan.......the only way to stop the boxes is to stop buying the Master Keys. Period.

    Class dismissed.

    Ok is it just me of have they started dropping like candy the last couple days? and if so is this intentional? I only started a week or 2 ago and saw none. Last couple of days they're more common than normal loot to the point that I have over 50 between 2 chars. I thought they were supposed to be rare or something?? I got news for PWE they might have gotten me to subscribe as over all I like the game BUT there's no way I'm buying keys to open a loot box.

    One would hope that Perfect World is getting the message that Lock Boxes aren't popular.

    Alas, I fear we'll be disappointed.

    Oh, well, it only takes a moment to "Discard All" on a full stack of 20.

    Meh, never opened a single box and deleted them on site unless some other poor sod got them instead.

    Yay for my immersion not being totally ruined by lockboxes appearing!

    Agreed...but I'm unsure as they're still selling Master Keys....make of it what you will :)

    There's probably WAY more lockboxes floating around than people who actually bought keys... Eventually they may drop keys from the store, but as long as there are boxes out there, there could be people hoping to open them.

    I am so sad they are going away... I will miss the massive discarding and the message of "Everyone has passed on the Ferrengi Lock Box". The thing I find funny like on KDF side atleast objects in Pi Canis that normally never drop anything will drop a lockbox 100% of the time when you destroy them.

    Oh thank god for that, they are really getting on my t*ts.

    the amount of times i could have a decent drop I had them instead..

    altho a dropbox cannon would of been preferable to rid them at the enemy would of found one use for them!

    This is one happy player! :D
    Im sure as long as there is 1 lockbox left in the game they will be sellin keys.

    Seeing as I don't want to be banned I will refrain from saying anything bad about lockboxes or PWE. I will say that I expect to see quite a few parties celebrating this... And might join one. ;)

    Why wait? there are plenty of good days to ditch that rubbish before the 18th.

    Hopefully the next load which are shoved down our throats will have at least a token EC value to be sold at.
