So... Wandering Hulker no longer gives key codes...

[Xaearth]

Trion, it's one thing to remove key codes from easy to farm from the driver's seat emergencies/events.

I'm all for it, really I am, though I would love to see something added to those events to make choosing between stopping for a minute or just blazing ahead to the next arkfall less of a simplistic choice than it currently is.

But what sort of logic brought you people to the conclusion that Wandering Hulker emergencies were a good choice for farming key codes?

Yes, when the emergency bugged out and respawned immediately it was "farmable", but the simple time spent whittling the hulker's health down while avoiding other mobs and without getting screwed over by limited terrain obstacles to block him from charging halfway across the continent offset the reward.

I didn't want to get on the bandwagon that's complaining about the nerf to key code farming, but you really left yourselves no leg to stand on with this one.

The drop rate is lower AFAIK now. Keep at it or do ark falls.

Totally agree, I don't mind the easier events not dropping keys but c'mon a Hulker or a Monarch jesus guys make it worth our while to do them or just take em off the map.

Ahh so now you just get scrip and exp? How many codes did it drop before?

[Arkental]

I believe it dropped 3+1, that's always what popped up in the lower left corner for me after an appropriate emergency

Hulker's should drop at least 2, they can be pretty tough sometimes. Especially when other enemies are around.

[Huds0n]

So they dont drop anymore? Oh well....damn they should at least drop 1.... Just one would be better

[Lyokira]

I frankly prefer if the hulker has a high chance of dropping blue/purple weapons. Scrapping those is nearly equivalent to a keycode anyway.

[Grimjax]

Is it me or are they trying to make it harder and harder to actually enjoy this game. Less keys to get lockboxes, it's not like my inventory was full of any cool weapons thanks to RNG.

[3rdpig]

I don't even see any point to keycodes to be honest, I'm level 13XX and I've bought countless tier 2 and 3 lockboxes and a handfull of tier 4 boxes and I've gotten one, count them one, legendary weapon and it's a grenade lobber with crap synergy. Almost everything else has been uncommon green garbage with the occasional halfway decent rare/epic item. I get just as good stuff from random loot, boss drops or rewards from arkfalls. Trion really needs to up the drop rate of legendary stuff, specially if they want people to buy lockboxes with real money. Because right now a lotto ticket, or dropping it into a slot machine, offers better odds.

Edited to add: They also need to hand craft legendary weapons. No way should it take you weeks to get a legendary just to find it's got random synergies that are opposite to the play style for that weapon. Like melee synergy on a sniper rifle.
