Mod Hoard Boxes

What is the point of the mod hoard box? They cost 64 keycodes and there is no guarantee of synergy or rarity?

Will anyone actually buy these?

Shouldn't they attach a disclaimer for noobs about how much of a waste of keycodes this will be?

The other changes to the mod system sound great, but this Mod Hoard box is just silly.

but white brutal synergy is da bomb

Part of the reason im quitting the game, it just gets worse and worse.

this isn't going to help, its going to make mod dealers More expensive then it already is.

i could see them ADDING it ontop of the existing mod cache
but to replace it? is just DURR

Damn straight...Wait, are we talking about a powder?

They are a joke. All greens and whites are going to be available in the game, so why do I want to waste 64 keys and have a high chance not to pull even 1 blue? Forget buying them with bits, no way! If it were 4 blues of any weapon, synergy, or even non synergy then yeah, it would be worth it. As it stands right now, only sucke.... er, extremely misguided people would waste keys and especially bits buying those boxes. Trion needs to really fix this before DLC drop.

You got to admit a lot of the new things in the upcoming patch are good. But this Mod Hoard thing is, well, derp?

I feel responsible as a member of the Defiance community to warn the sucke...er, extremely misguided people from wasting their keys and bits on these.

I know I'm not the first to question the reason of these, but have there been any responses from Trion about our concerns over the Mod Hoard boxes in other threads?

I don't think we'll need to have a session as such, because I just can't see anyone buying these at all to begin with.

Even if someone did, I don't see anyone buying any more past the 1st one they get with 2 whites and 2 greens

Maybe I'll spend some downtime at Tranquility Road and the crash site educating those new to Paradise about the perils of buying Mod Hoard boxes. Teach them how to safely acquire mods through vendors and patience. I'll be the Mod Hoard prophylactic.

as long as your doing that: teach them about the salvage matrix, weapon xp, and the need/want forum

I am but only one man. Maybe with enough of that white brutal synergy I can accomplish more.

Back to being constructive...

The cost of the Mod Hoard should be reduced to maybe 24 keys at the most. With the white mods being excluded.

But that makes too much sense for Trion to do

I was really hoping to get a comment from Dahanese or someone about whether the 64 keys for a Mod Hoard is set in stone, or that they are looking into changing it to a cost that is reasonable.

conspiracy theory: the blade colors are way over priced too; 500k and 1000 rep for orange

Disagree. We don't have any orange priced at in-game vendors anywhere, so we can't compare it. It is costly, and I ain't not sure gonna spend my coin on that, but its fine for a buy it now price. Those with the scrip will buy it, everyone else will get them through the boxes. The thing is, is that you'll never ever see an orange blade go near 500K on the need/want forums.

Edit: Difference between the enormous cost of the orange blade and the Mod Hoard box is that, with the orange blade you know what you are getting, the Hoard box could just be a pile of white poop.

You should calm down people, the current price and content of mod hoards is so ridiculous that it'll most likely be changed at some point.
And more importantly, with the new system it'll be much easier to find synergy mods anyway, with the mod vendors and their specials. Mod hoards won't matter that much.

I didn't realize we needed to calm down, thank you for letting us know. I hope that one day I can jump into a thread and tell everyone to calm down like you do. You're a pro!

You are right though. The new system for mods and price for the mod hoards is so ridiculous the cost will be changed, eventually. Because it is so asinine, I'd just like to change the eventually into soon.

This mod hoard box doesn't make any sense at all. People aren't just complaining because they don't like the idea. People are complaining because the way it's set up is just....wrong. It makes no sense and has to be re-done. If they are going to have a mod hoard box, it should be all blues for random weapon types, synergy and non synergy.

The fact that you can buy whites and green(synergy and non synergy), it doesnt make sense to purchase a lockbox that gives you random whites, greens, and blues(synergy and non synergy). Why would anyone pay 64 keycodes for a mod hoard box, when they could save those and spend 24,000 scrip on green mods that are the exact synergy and weapon type that you want???

64 keycodes takes awhile to save up, so it's a waste to spend that on a mod hoard box. Hoard boxes should be all blues and random, plain and simple, or get rid of them altogether.

It could be random things you win, with no lower than green mods and weapons, synergy or non-synergy. 4 random items like it is now, but some of the pulls could be stuff like 3000 Ark salvage, 1000 scrip, random weapons, random mods, random Boosts (like 5 to 10 percent boost to any of skill, xp, loot, Damage, Shield hp increase, nano-effect potions, Fire Rate increases....hell, you name it. You could add lots of stuff to these boxes. Put Boosts at like a 2 hour buff.

I think something like this, people WOULD spend the 64 keycodes, not only for the possible scrip and boosts, but because its just something different. Maybe not 64 keycodes. Maybe 40 or something.

I think spending 64 keys on junk sounds great!

Actually, nope. There was no response to the problem of buying faction mod boxes and receiving mod synergies for guns that do not even exist, such as a prepared synergy mods for a BMG.

Does it matter you are not forced to buy them?
There is so many things wrong with this game and you guys are worried about the key code boxes.
I would be more worried that the DLC lacks giving anything to people who paid for it yet does not offer enough encouragement with its dismal content ffor players who left to consider taking the time to attempt the patching process. I do not want to waste 3 or 4 hours to update and patch to try it out for sieges and ark falls.
It was just not enough it is nice that its free but Id be pissed off if I paid for it and was only getting arenas and a raptor.

You do know that you don't have to sit in front of your computer/TV screen for 3-4 hours while it patches? You are allowed to walk away and do other things during the process.

I think its that much because they are making mod lockboxes you buy with bits

All a marketing scheme they killed on bit sales and people ate it up!
