I am not at all happy with this update. There is nothing good here. These supposed "jackpot" weapons are a joke.
That said - I think the original TD quote is out of context, because you are not (or at least don't have to) pay real money for the T2, T3, T4 lockboxes. I've never bought one with real money, and yet have had dozens and dozens.
I still think it is crap to put DLC-only stuff in LockBoxes, but it's not the same thing as double-billing.
It is not out of context. It's irrelevant that you can get lock boxes in game. The point is that you shouldn't be required to pay additional cash to use an item that comes from something that you have already paid for once in the bit store regardless of whether you can also get it in game or not. Trick recognized and acknowledged at the time that doing that would be wrong. Apparently they don't care anymore.Originally Posted by chad78
If a player doesn't own Gunslinger Trials then the Wildcat is not a desired weapon for that player. If it was they would have bought the DLC already to attempt to acquire one. DLC locked weapons should not be in the loot table for the core game lock boxes. All that does is further devalue tier 4 lock boxes for players that don't own the DLC and who otherwise would never entertain purchasing the DLC.
They could do it without the cash grab by simply creating a separate tier 4 Lock Box clearly labeled to distinguish it from the core game tier 4 lock box and place the core game version (e.g. the Wolfhound) in the core game tier 4 lock box. Almost every DLC exclusive weapon is modeled off of a core game one so it is totally doable but it denies them a revenue stream which is why it's probably not going to happen.

How is this different then a reward from an incursion (7th legion), or from Arkbreaks (Ark Breaker), you cannot use the weapons unless you have the DLC’s , but you can play in Ark breaks and Incursions, Seems that’s more accepted, what makes a Jackpot producing a DLC type weapon any different and Unacceptable
It doesn't matter what they do to the boxes, that doesn't fix the fact that they reduced the rewards from events x10 fold and increased the cost of keys by x10 fold. I won't be playing again until they fix something...
thanks for exterminating the end game....bad calls 24/7 =( ...can't take anymore x.x ....good luck for those who stay.
It's a average wolfhound at best anyways. This weapon will not make me jump up and yell BINGO!
OK, so reload will get nerfed, but still not a perfect gun. And you forgot to nerf double/triple-crit..
Wildcat was available from VBI lockboxes anyway? would of made more sense to of kept them exclusively to that faction.
Why does that wildcat have a T2 barrel?Wildcat was available from VBI lockboxes anyway? would of made more sense to of kept them exclusively to that faction.
I like the idea of jackpot weapons. We have been asking for something like this with drop boxes. I hope they are not too rare since the rate of opening a box is much, much lower now.
The lower key drops & higher key prices are not positive, but its not game breaking for me if the boxes drop something good at a decent rate.
I am discouraged that I cannot keep 2 purple guns(one loadouts worth) and 1 orange shield to my level. I have kept them leveled so far but my forge level is dropping fast. There is no chance I can keep other loadouts to level. I hope this issue can be addressed. I like being able to rank with different loadouts and now I am stuggling to keep one set at my level. I cannot imagine having even one loadout of 2 orange weapons and an orange shield to my level which is discouraging.
