Fix this treasure key system

Farming for hours is not fun to get one key. There are 2 solutions to this problem 1) each boss on each difficulty drops a key the first time you kill him each week. Then for any extra you have to farm 2) dramatically increase the drop rate of keys. It can take hours just to get one key. Edit: Keep the support rolling

    • The lack of treasure keys makes me loathe playing prison of elders. I run through all that time and heavy ammo synth to not be able to open the middle chest.. -_- cmon Bungie. Theres ZERO point in playing prison of elders for minimal loot.

      • You do know that the keys only get you a queen weapon (most aren't good once you obtain POE/Trials guns) and an exotic chance... You are truly wasting your time if you farm keys often. Farming keys is really only good for glimmer, engrams, and materials. If you've checked the drop rates on those, it's high enough...

          • I just posted about this exact thing after spending a few hours on the lvl 35 last week and getting no loot from completing it. I get they want to lengthen the shelf life but these type of tactics are what make people quit. If I have to have a key to get loot each week then there should be a guaranteed way to get that key each week, not spending hours hoping that I might get one. I've never gotten a single key from farming on three characters.

          • That moment when I slog through a PoE game only to discover at the big chest that my Titan has run out of keys and my other characters have some... Doh! (>_<)

          • I wonder what we'll all do for keys when the next expansion comes out and the House of Wolves Bounties stop appearing in the wild ( like what happened to Hive Sword bearers of the Dark Below Expansion when the HOW came out ). Does the whole entire Prison of Elders event become obsolete since no one will run it without the promise of decent rewards. There has to be a more consistent method of obtaining these keys.

            • Bungie is never going to make the keys or etheric light significantly easier to farm for the reason of dragging this out. Put the game down for any significant amount of time and you'll realize the time spent hoarding and farming was for a boring game that just had great combat mechanics. By bungie making the max level go up by two for both tdb and how they kept the level increase keep from feeling unattainable, but by making everything else earned by repetitive grinding they insure you'll play for endless hours.

              • I love the game and play every day for at least 3-4 hours and sometimes more but there's one thing that Bungie's developers need to learn and learn pretty damn quick and that's the difference between an obstacle and a challenge. I have no problem with grinding for loot, whatever it may be, but if I grind for hours on end during the course of a week I want the effing reward, not a totally random chance at a reward. I may love gaming and Destiny for the time being but I have a life offline, I plan on living it and RNG shouldn't impede my progress in the game indefinitely if I consistently put the time in and work to improve my skills. I would think by now with all the flack Bungie's taken over the RNG loot system they would have connected the dots and figured out that this system is a bad business decision if nothing else.

                  • Not really that hard i farm usually 2 hrs and get 2 keys. Do skywatch that way doesn't feel long cause you can hit each chest bout 3-4 times which increases your chances.

                    • Your on the planets doing patrol mission bounties each day anyways. Just stay in the easiest farming area and get your farming and bounties done at the same time! People need to stop whining about the game not just giving them stuff!

                    • Yes this is ridiculous to have to farm this length of time to get a key. It would be like farming for two hours before you do a raid. Don't always have that much time. Losing interest a little.

                      • I'm in full support...key farming for a chance at loot is horrid. A chance at something for a chance of something is a garbage loot system Chests should just be on the weekly reset without requiring a key to open

                      • I did all of the queen's stuff this morning, and got nothing but rep from the queens reward package. That's total bull. I wasted my morning doing this dumb sh!t and now I have nothing to show for it. All I wanna do is run prison of elders for another chance to get Her Right Hand, but instead, I'll probably get a 3rd hand cannon, 3rd shotgun, 3rd fusion rifle, or 3rd rocket launcher when I finally manage to come across a key. I can't even enjoy the game mode because I see it as pointless to go in without a key, because even though you say you can get a key from the smaller chests, it hasn't happened for me yet. Fix this crap, bungie. I want to enjoy this game mode but there is not a single draw to it unless I farm for hours for one key then I can only enjoy it for 30 minutes until I have to go find another damn key.

                        • I say they just include a key 100% of the time in the small chest the first time it's opened each week.
