Where is our veteran lockbox that was promise to us on the live stream

[Amack]

Guess what - the problems ARE NOT FIXED but we deserve much more compensation than this box anyway.

We also deserve to have open world scaling TURNED OFF. It's a mess, it's been a mess, and it continues to be a mess. It will always be a mess cuz it's far too ambitious for the dev's abilities and the servers. Yet, they stubbornly leave it on. To grief us? To say a thing that isn't so is actually so is denial. And it doesn't make a thing true to just keep saying it.

Join me in the game, Trick. Check out the flame wars going on already. You've made the player base hate each other due to your ideas for a month and it's not okay. And it's not friggin workin so FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WAKE UP AND TURN THAT SHTAKO OFF!

Bad management will never be fixed by posting on forums.

The grant is for all players who logged in at least once since the May 9 patch. Will be issued tomorrow.

No, bad management eventually caves in on itself. So what should I do, just shut up and go away? They are not getting the message anyway so as players leave, there will be the evidence.

All I see in game is a rage fest, noob vs. vet and it's stupid and no longer fun. Seriously.

No to grief us my dear, but to make money. The 1.50 patch is about pushing F2P Whales into the bit store. They tossed us a couple of bones with the crit hits and the ego gate on expert co-ops, but I expect that's all they'll do. It would be nice if they'd turn double spawning off, or prevent TL 10 from tripping with less than 10 players present, but they're not going to stop open world scaling.

I wonder what we'll get for the May 19th patch? Cuz it's BORKED TOO.

Think outside the box, and when I say box I mean your computer.

Ok someone please explain to me how $1,000 in bits will buy the needed items in the store that will get a person up to EGO 5K quickly. And if so, how quickly do you really think a brand-new player can level up to 5K EGO? And my other issue is, once a noob starts playing and the TL level kicks their *****, why would they hang around and spend any money on a game that is not...fun. Dying repeatedly is not fun.

So someone please tell me how the open world TL has anything to do with a cash grab. I fail to see how open world TL would motivate micro (or macro) transactions. Have you SEEN what's in the store? They're not selling ego levels in there.

My 100 forge and Vet box where there when I logged in just now. Had my friend log out and back in and it was there for her too.

[PhantasieTrion]

Any news on this? I haven't seen said item in said claims section.

Hi Lenny

The grant was started at 2PM PST, and finished just now for all platforms.

If you were online during this time, you will need to log out and back in. (This type of grant does not require server downtime or a reset, though).

You should see 3 items in your claim section: Two 50 counts of Arkforge and the Lock Box.

Enjoy!

It is not so much a cash grab. They had to cut corners on development because they are so understaffed among other things. For example, I've been told that during Alpha testing Fort Defiance was more or less a huge Volge Siege. They removed that and redesigned it in order to re-release it later as the current Volge Sieges. They did the same thing with the scaling system, and quite a few other things. If they were to "turn it off" then all those man hours of redesigning and tweaking would be completely wasted, and they cannot let that happen. People have been asking about Hellbug sieges. Those were also in the game during it's early phases and will be re-released.
