For the sake of the Community, I spent $50 on bits, and recieved a 108% bonus, ending up with approximately 10,400 bits.
I bought
14 x TIER 4 Lockboxes = 5,600 bits
10 x TIER 3 Lockboxes = 2,400 bits
20 x TIER 2 Lockboxes = 2,400 bits
I recieved exactly 0 Orange weapons for $100.00. Thanks Trion.
This transaction can be traced to my PSN Account: Knife_the_Planet
hmm, since you appear to have got all the duds, I'ma gonna go shopping now.
Well first of all who the fudge spends 100$ on lockboxes lol you should know its like playing the lottery were getting and orange is a very small percentage. Yeah I purchased 2 lock boxes and that was it lol. Its easy enough to earn key codes and you don't have to waste money.Quote:

I remember playing ME3 and spending around 100$ on packs hoping for ultra-rares. Got one.
It's all RNG, bro.
Okay first of all its a bad idea buying lock boxes with bits becouse you get more angry when you don't get orange weapons.Quote:

i got `1 from a t3..not saying dont buy em..BUT how does buying more t2's than t4's make any sense..then complain that you didnt get any oranges..yea the loot i been getting the last 2 days has been horrible..but i notice new items in the rotation so i dont careQuote:

TRION! Please do the bits bonus on XBOX! =) I have 16000 Points for you. Plzzzzzzz
There's a difference between "broken" and "having a very low percentage."
Please stop abusing the term that it seems so many people like to do.
I have purchased 5 tier 4 lockboxes got 1 legendary
I have purchased 35 tier 3 lockboxrs got 5 legendaries
I have purchased 50 tier 2 lock boxes got 0 legendaries
So buying tier 3 has a pretty good chance to get legendary weapons.
ive gotten 1 from a tier 2, and the rest from 3 an 4. i dont tier 2 very often but the ones i get from tier 4 seem to be slightly better than the tier 3...
Yeah tier 3 is much better becouse tier 4 lock boxes cost way to many key codes 1 tier 4 lock box 64 codes 4 weapons or 3 tier 3 lockboxesQuote:

today i have bought 0 bits and got a legendary saw to add to my collection of orange weapons of which i also spent 0 bits on. buying the lock boxes with real money is a joke and foolish
My friend just got three oranges and not bad ones at that.
Getting an orange isn't an issue.
Getting a good orange with all the right mods, that is the hard part.
Thank you for funding the server upkeep. Now buy a dictionary and look up what "random" and "at least" means.
haha briliant :)Quote:

That one orange though was shtako since it was like 100 or so on the Ego rating.
I will buy bits once a week just to donate to such a great company. This is one of the few major corporations that can afford to make games like this. The future is certain of gaming for our children with service like this. I buy armor and inventory. I did get 3 t-4 boxes and got 2 legendaries last month.
There's a sucker born every minute.
If you want oranges, stick to T4's.
Since yesterday I have bought 5, maybe 6, tier 3 lockboxes. It could even be less than that. I now have an orange detonator and an orange smg.
Wow i would not have spent that either. Thing is that some do not realize yes orange are rare however from what i hear they are not better then purple or in some cases blue weapons. Myself i only have 2 oranges out of countless trying from tiers 2-4 and my Purple weapons far exceed them
Damn..my first T3 I got a super nice orange derailer...Then, the next day, I purchased the digital upgrade, guess what came in that lockbox? A damn near best in class Orange Shotty. RNG is RNG brah..
I have been buying lock boxes with the keys I earn in game since beta and have yet to even see an orange anything and I'm not *****ing about it when it comes I will be happy but till then I spend 0 $ RL cash and play the game for keys sheesh gimme a break on these threads about lock boxes.Quote:

After a week waiting for customer support I finally got back "this is what you got" (I didn't) and pretty much "Tough shtako" So I haven't bothered to buy a box since.
I would NEVER waste real money on the lock boxes - that is just asking for trouble and heartache. I am reserved to ever spend IN game free money after that... just cause of the we don't care attitude they dished.
Any way mate,
we got your point, At least I did.
Ignore MrClip is working 4 Trion ahaha. is that so bad?
not so sure, but still you are right to complain.
100$ and no orange? call them and see if they can arrange something for you.
Later.
I've bought several of all lock boxes now (with resources) and have 4 legendaries. 2 from T3 boxes and 2 from T2 boxes. I've never received one from a T4 and it is starting to be just about as rare for me to get purples. I've only gotten 1 or 2 purples in the past few weeks.
Random shtako is Random shtako... sorry dude. I wish i have better luck myself.... Ive spent a good deal of MS points in Mass Effect 3 packs and came up short a few times. The only difference is that ME3 at least tells you that there's going to be a least one Rare or Ultra-Rare item.
but with that, is the risk of it becoming Pay to Win and im fine with what it is now.
If I had a spare $50, I'd rather buy lottery tickets if you're just gonna throw it away anyways.
Keno man Keno - you are more likely to get something for sure!Quote:

I went through the same thing, I think lockboxes should be removed from the store completely. The random element for cash is called gambling and it's illegal...

Lol!! I had about 15 orange from 125 - 150 tier 3.
And don't focus too much about orange weapons, they aren't always better. Example; yesterday I recieved a orange auto shotgun damage 47x8.
So a white with 89x12 does way more damage.
