Yoyo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I am ok with it simply due to being able to get 100 keys from daeva pass for free. Just play the game so not pay to win at face value. Now are these keys etc tradeable? If so that is an issue simply because can get plats with premium pass keys. So curious to see how the keys are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So curious to see how the keys are I was wondering the same thing . It’s also sad because with them not bringing world drops back it means that pacification gear ( staff for clerics specifically ) is going to be nonexistent now . Balic gear will no longer be crafted because there won’t be any mats . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwing Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) It is sad because Classic was about open world and open world encounters. Not only, but a large part of it. The bot prevention NcSoft was doing so far did not really benefit the common players. Ultimately they are going to move the whole loot table into the daeva pass, first for free and later as premium, without any alternative. Once there was one deava pass a month with one or two event passes up to 2.0. Since then we kind of had two passes permanently. What NcSoft is trying to do can work if made properly, yet it is neither Classic nor the game I want to play.

Gaven Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) I mean I think it's a decent idea, but the fact it doesn't fully address the stigma issue which are mainly lower level and necessary stigmas, and its ptw to get lv40-50 stigmas.

Locke Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 If it's anything like the locked boxes and keys in retail, people are going to hate it. Probably going down the same path again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments ? Ready for disappointment I am.. Is one box going to give all the items listed or a random chance at one of those items? If its random they put up a tombstone for classic. Anything random in this game is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
