Hi Trion,
I was just wondering if we can somehow get cut a lil slack on the Machinist, Veteran, Outlaw synergys that somehow now seem to plague every good weapon that comes from a rep box or t4 lockbox.

oh, and if possible, can we have atleast an epic drop every once in a while from a threat 10 called minor arkfall. instead of the guaranteed glowing greens. would be nice. Thank You.

A note on lockboxes:
I have stuck with buying tier 3 as I level (2 toons both close to 1K).
The RNG on rolls with tier 3's yields a better bang for your buck in the long run anyway from what I have read and received ingame so far.
-If someone has any further info on this (such as Trion patching the odds) I will change my stance; but for now tier 3's are more cost effective.
I get enough tier 4 (so far) from placing well in Incursions...
I will state my request for what the game needs in plain language:
Until Trion demonstrates a willingness to do something about their serverside/connection problems (which cause FAR too much rubberbanding or complete freezing/delays), AND deals with the exploits being used: I will not spend any money. Period.
I want them to understand that I stand ready to pay them something IF they show due diligence concerning those two issues. As I do enjoy playing the game.
They have a really rough gem here; but that's what it is. ROUGH.

Depends on your opinion on Orange (legendary) weapons. T2s do NOT drop them at all. and T4s have a chance of awarding you a jackpot weapon on top of it's usual gear. The Jackpot is ALWAYS orange.
Also depends on how you feel about Arkforge.

LOCKBOX CHANGES
* Tier 2 Lockboxes no longer drop legendary items.
* The maximum arkforge payouts have been adjusted:
- Tier 2 Lockboxes now drop a maximum of 20 arkforge.
- Tier 3 Lockboxes can now drop 20 or 50 arkforge.
- Tier 4 Lockboxes can now drop 20, 50, or 100 arkforge.
* Tier 4 Lockboxes now have a chance to drop a jackpot weapon in addition to its normal contents! The jackpot weapon is only available for a limited time before it will be rotated out for a new item.
