Changes to Loot Tables for Tier 2/3/4 LockBoxes

[Yrkul]

Looks like Trion wasn't selling enough arkforge.

What did you expect ? That's why I raged about you doing this when it first started . The only thing you did is just give them a reason to nerf . Guess what there nerfing it now . I hope you're pleased with yourself

What saddens me more than the upcoming nerf, are the people attacking others for helping with advice and much needed game info. Etaew is doing more for the community in a single week, than any of you little misers did in an entire year! Some people.....

People were posting on the forums and using T2s for Arkforge long before the data collection. So making some rates public may not have been the trigger you think it is.

i have to agree with chump on this point though. trion has a proven track record on things like this. the oldest example i can think of off hand is the frc saw. it was the most cherished weapon in the game at one time, but it was way more powerful than any other weapon in the lmg class. instead of buffing all the others (i know one got a small buff, cant remember which) trion nerfed the crap out of the saw. i could easily see this being the fix for tier 4 boxes. insted of granting more arkforge, or more frequent drops. i could only see them lowering the amounts/rates in the tier 2 and 3 boxes, if they did anything

a month ago, i posted the above comment in another thread. people kept discussing the drop rates, kept urging for something to be done, and now that it has, everyone is upset about how it is being handled. honestly, it was not hard at all to know exactly how this was going to play out.

another slap in player's face... another step in admitting that trion don't need you playing, but need you spending bits to do what you could've do without it previously, another step in going P2W.

also +million for everything that was said about T3/T4 boxes stupid drop rate on weapons. hey, most of my oranges are from T2 too!

Yup, some people stil don`t get it.
If it`s really good...please, keep it to your self.

But hey, they like to brag about it.

While I agree that reducing anything that has a potential gain for the players does seem kind of sh$&ty, I feel like the OP's post could and should be read in a different context. He seems to be saying that the drop AMOUNT is being changed, not the DROP RATE. Having bought almost nothing but T2s since DLC 5 dropped (for the arkforge, duh!), I have noticed many times I got 50 AF from a T2. <-------- This is what is likely to be changed, NOT the chance to drop AF. Although a little clarification from the OP would go a long way.........

[stefb42]

Well it's pretty obvious from the OP that it's the amount that's being adjusted not the drop rate, this still leaves a huge decrease in arkforge being pulled from lockboxes in general, and remember this is trion, it's highly unlikely that they'll just pull the 50af drop, just wait and see it'll be a new tiered system that'll give us 20af when we would have gotten 50, and 5af where we would have gotten 20, and if that is the case then arkforge is going to be seriously limited

this is horrible ...... I guess the game will run better when more people leave because of this nerf, arkforge is not easy to come by and trion is nerfing it geez I really cant wait for September now maybe the creators of destiny will have servers that are stable enough so I can play for 1 hour straight without server kicking me

this thread needs to be about 20 pages long trion needs to cater to the player base a little more instead of inciting them... do they understand how aggravating it is to play a game for over a year and still have server stability and horrible lag issues? its sad to say how far we as players have to go to get this game just to run smoothly for example quitting out after every major event just to have a chance at surviving a whole arkfall without critting out

fix the servers and give us rewards for dealing with horrible connectivity issues I love the combat in this game but as soon as I can find that combat elsewhere myself and how many others will just move on? ask yourself that trion

a bug in the player's favor happened to be fixed. its the end of the world! lets all run around yelling doom and attacking each other because thinking trion needed player help to find this problem is pants-on-head ******ed. Rather than *****ing about the bug being fixed, you can be thankful for how long your free stealth-buff to drop rates lasted. go complain about lag and disconnects, aka legitimate complaints instead of acting like entitled five year olds

I don't believe there was any bug.
