At Ego rating 2957 I have been given two oranges. From another player. I haven't seen a single orange from any lockboxes or mobs. I easily blew 250 keycodes this weekend as well. At this point, obtaining an orange doesn't seem so important anymore.

And you think the timing is NOT a thought through plan?Originally Posted by WhiteCell
Bought 3 lvl 3 lock boxes with key codes, got one orange weapon.... And, I got it in the first box...
Got purple drops from 99:ers and arkfalls
And as for the purple ones, they are all buyable in the special fractions vendors. You don't need to play more than a few hours to get both the reputation and script to buy em....
Sorry Trion but in my personal experience in playing the game this weekend this has been a FAIL - sure players are playing but after many hours of game play at different times, events, side missions, etc I am not seeing hardly any difference and to be honest 10% bonus doesn't excite me, I can increase game time or buy a boost and get that. What would interest me is seeing more elite in Lock Boxes. Bur so far I have not seen even 1 Elite from a lock bock whether it was tier 3 or 4 - zip zero nada.
Instead of running what amounts to a gimmick weekend as you raise price on cars for newer players(thankfully I have what I want already) Why not FIX some of the game issues you have such as...
* Arkfalls that never appear or never finish
* Missions which STILL have bugs in them
* A way to turn off the endless repeating of EGO voices
* fix weapons which will not accept the correct MOD for them
* Fix voice chat for the clans
* Fix errors with clan view/invite
* Standing close to a supply cart kicks you from modification menu or Ego menu to supply menu
And some VERY MUCH NEEDED CHANGES
* Give players a way to change load out profiles WITHOUT hitting start first and then Y several times
* Adding a PERK slot every 500 EGO and not every 1000 (I have way more EGO skills than I can ever use at 1000 plus due to the lack of slots the game is becoming a GRIND FEST and therefore will cause boredom and burn out eventually
* Adding a Bazaar/Auction house to the game - whether you realize it or not you have created a real live black market for REAL cash for Elite items and I don't believe that was your intent. But with no way to sell items in game you are encouraging "Farming" on the "Gray/Black" market
^ With no Clan Bank you are allowing Clan leaders and officers to accept items supposedly to help new members to sell items on the Need/Want forums without that money being spent on the clan. It would be better if we could resource items for Clan Boosts. (just an idea) I have no way of knowing if our clan leaders are doing it they might, they might now, but I have heard other clans know it is happening in theirs. I am just suggesting an a clan bank would help eliminate the temptation If it is done right.
* Allow groups to include up 6 and or 8 members - 4 is ridiculously small for say shadow wars and it doesn't match Xbox Party Chat... And we wouldn't use Party chat if in game chat was working more of the time.
I plan to repost this elsewhere so players can add to it and respond or provide better ideas.

You will want to google how weapon skill works. short version:
If your weapon xp is full, no increase (takes 30 minutes with the SAW)
If your enemies dont give direct XP (ArkFall mobs), no increase.
You should be on LMG lvl 15 by now, I guess you are on 3.
Sounds to me like you played this weekend, I'm guessing quite a lot as well. So I'd fathom that it wasn't a fail on Trion's part after all was it? A new perk slot every 500 lvl's sounds lazy to me. Also, why would anyone give items to someone else to sell for them, that's absolutely ignorant and I can't imagine any but the extremely naive or, again, lazy trying to do something like that.
The larger party sizes would be nice but with only Shadow War and a single major Arkfall requiring more than 4 people I don't see the point. Coordination hasn't been much of a problem at this point, only getting D/C'd during events with large amounts of people.
While I appreciate the loot bonus that kicked in Sunday afternoon I have to say that functionality of grouping had better get addressed immediately.
I can handle group members phasing in and out of existence because mission creators failed to plan for the eventually of multiple players (in an mmo *gasp*) but the utter frustration from attempting to participate in coop/pvp/sw with a group is appalling.
It's no wonder the game feels so empty when to do anything group related requires between 4 and 64 random individuals who have learned not to bother with the matchmaking system.
Seriously, I can handle the same old missions but if I have to continue banging my head on grouping up... Well I imagine I'll just keep posting in here.
Yeah, I picked up two "blues" this weekend... So I guess I wouldn't have received those if not for the bonus? Yeah, thats great...
And I busted a T4 Lock-box... Two blues and two greens... Another fantastic thing to look forward to doing again... Not!
... And the wind leaves the sails.
I the bonus look still on or is it over?
I got two oranges friday night in the same box
And one orange in a box twice Saturday night.
Got blues and greens all Sunday. All greens Monday. I think they ended the event early and didn't tell anyone haha.
