    I really should show him my sniper rifle with melee damage bonus on self revive. Maybe he won't want an orange as much then.

    I'd like to also add that I've purchases hundreds of lockboxes before I burned up my ark salvage. I used to heavily abuse emergencies when they actually were worth doing (when they gave keycodes). I think the only thing I've ever been somewhat happy I got was a 0 detonation time grenade from an arkfall in my entire time playing since release.

    I'd also like to mention I play on PC so there's much better options out there. If I was strictly a console player I'd probably stick around. I hope the game improves for you guys over time, at the moment though, I'm not seeing it.

    I still scratch my head when I read the "bonuses" on these rare/legendary weapons.

    At this point, I'm almost certain that there's this one guy holding the position of "project/department lead" somewhere on the Defiance dev team, that has complete/final influence over the "balancing" of the weapons/shields bonuses and mods. And, that he is the sole reason that pretty much every weapon and piece of gear in Defiance sucks complete *** as far as progression and rarity-vs-power is concerned.

    We had a guy like ^him back on the M.A.G. post-launch dev team. The entire core playerbase collectively became to hate him with a passion.

    Your luck must be really, really bad. I'm 2700 ego and I've found 7 legendaries (none of which are any good mind you, but found them I have). 1.7 million ark salvage = 1,700 keys. That's roughly 26 T4 boxes. or 71 T3 boxes. Somehow, this doesn't surprise me that you didn't get a legendary from all of that. I swear Trion nerfed the chances of getting a legendary even more so without letting us know..

    I won't rage and quit but I have to admit that the more I play this game the more it reminds me of D3.
    I've been playing D3 for almost a year since release and I haven't seen any orange items at all and not to mention Set ones.

    Defiance starts to look the same way. Short story that at some point starts to force you to replay it to progress (get higher EGO rating) and gives you poor rewards.

    Like I said in other posts, I like the shooting and the "reward" isn't that important cause game lets you play as you like and don't really force you to grind the gear to progress in the story but lack of proper missions is disturbing.

    I didnt get all that many after the big patch, then again.. considering how many salvage and keys I burned its not that many on the hole anyway.
    Today's gun is proof to me that you still can get legendaries from lockboxes without spending bits.
    I have no arguement what so ever that the lockbox system isnt great at all. But since the differences are marginal anyway Im not obsessing over it anyway.
    I have no trouble finding the weapons AND the model I actually like using for the weaponskills I need to train and since my favorid weapon skills are maxed and and me having a more then decent version of the weapon I like Im not all that concerned about it.
    Then again Im also from the generation that actually had to quest for weeks on end just to get a epic and Ive quested for months to get my legendary weapon(s) on various of characters and games. Im used to having to be patient about getting things.

    But regardless, no matter how flawed the lootbox system is(and it definately is) the OP is quiting over loot, not even over bugs nor over the less clear connection to the tv show. Which definately sets a wrong and probebly unintended tone to his reason and concerns, which.. ironic enough ARE valid.

    In this state of unbeing I ask myself..
    Was I ever innocent?
