The Lockbox Data Collection Project

[Noupoi]

Noupoi's post on the previous page seems to say that the validated results allow entering multiple lock boxes at once, as long as the number is a multiple of the type of box being entered. Unless I'm reading that wrong. That would also explain your previous post about number of submissions vs number of items.

All it means is that validation includes all entries where a complete set of lockboxes, e.g. 4 T2 lockboxes, have been entered, but won't include entries where 4 T2 lockboxes and an extra item have been entered. If you have more than 10 items of a certain type, you will need to submit the data seperately, but otherwise, you can submit more than one box at a time.

I have found greens with synergies and blues with same synergies/secondaries/stats as purps/oranges. Often times better, actually. And there is no different graphic for legendries either...it's same as any trash white item.

Itemization needs work imo...

Sorry to go a bit off topic, interesting to see data like this. Thanks!

You created the sheet, entry form and rules for this, but I don't think allowing multiple entries on one form is a good idea.

Firstly if all the validation is to check if the number of items on an entry is correctly divisible by the number of items expected from that tier, it does nothing to prevent the 10/10/10/10 abuse since that represents 20 Tier 2 or 10 Tier 4 lockboxes - passes validation despite being highly suspect entries - particularly when you see time stamps only a few seconds / minutes apart for multiple entries doing the same thing.

Secondly if people do submit multiple boxes together but go over 10 items of one type and split it into a new entry, it can leave invalid results for both entries - say 5 Tier 3 boxes produces 11 green and 4 blue - that would be split 10+4 on the first entry and 1 on the second - both invalid as neither is divisible by 3.

I assumed from the start that 1 lockbox result = 1 entry, so that's how I've been submitting data - and from looking at the form responses it appears that is also the way the vast majority of people have been submitting data. It takes longer, but makes it possible to see individual box results, and also makes it easier to spot the data that stands out.

If you do intend for people to be able to enter multiple boxes at once, then is it possible to edit the submission form to ask people how many boxes they are submitting for? That could perhaps act as some kind of check - if the number x the tier don't match the number of items reported the data would be invalid?

Personally when looking at the data I am discounting any Tier 2 line showing more than 2 items, any Tier 3 with more than 3, and any Tier 4 with more than 4. If there are some people that have grouped their genuine data together into a few large entries before submitting it will unfortunately exclude them, but it will also exclude the majority of griefers who submit bogus entries just to piss on the work of others.

Just bout a tier 4 lockbox and got a green in it.... something I read was not supposed to happen. Got a really cool orange pistol though

182 FRC Northstar Flare
Synergy Machinist

+4 mag
15% grenade recharge on kill
x1.10 Fire Rate

Dmg 1010
FR 1.1
Mag 5
Reload 2.5
Crit 2.5x
Bloom 4.90

First time I fired this thing I giggled like a little girl. A pistol that basically shoots grenades..


The green I got was a VOT Rebound Lobber.

Edit: Got another tier 4... 3 blues and a green.

Thanks for this info.
Seems like my hunch that t3 boxes gives best value was true.

Numbers...confusing....understanding...difficult.. ..

I have been doing T2's since I got my one and only lgndary from it...maybe I will try some T3 instead

Anyone have already drop a sub machine gun in a lock box ?

yes, its possible. i bought a VBI SMG (orange) from a guy, and he had it from a logbox.

I got a orange burstfire SMG from a lockbox, good damage but it just fires to slow and innacurate so I haven't really used it. Other orange I got was a VOT Mazu blast rifle which is pretty badass I don't know the stats off hand and can't look them up atm since the servers are down, but they both came from T4 boxes. and the last t4 box I opened had 3 blue 1 purple in it.

You need the synergy mods or those orange weapons are useless.
