Keys were a terrible idea

What's the point? Why did they make doing a public event on patrol the only way to get extra loot. Grats, you beat poe, no you don't get to open the chest because you didn't farm some bullshit item.

  • I actually don't mind the keys at all for one reason. You get one key a week from Petra for doing your first bounty from her. Essentially, that's your once-a-week raid drop. Luckily, POE gives you more chances to run it multiple times a week for sweet ass loot, so long as you don't mind finding keys. Don't know about you, but when I go around in patrol and see wolves, I fck em up and try to get a key out of it. If I do, that's another shot at sweet loot in POE. I dig it, personally.

    [quote]Keys were a terrible ideadefined[/quote] ...and by far not the only one. i saw this kind of development before (been working on IT projects for almost a decade now) and it's rather bad thing to do with your product the kind of development i am talking about goes like this: [i]Manager:[/i] "Wooo-hoo, this is a GREAT idea (...i just came up with), let's implement it [*hype*]" [i]Developer:[/i] "Hmm, actually, i think we should test it a bit." [i]Manager:[/i] "No no no, let's not WASTE time, it looks great (...in my head) already, let's IMPLEMENT it ASAP" [i]Developer:[/i] "*sigh" ...few days/weeks after implementation... [i]Manager:[/i] "Hey Dev, the thing YOU've implemented few days/weeks ago is causing us way too much trouble! I want to see YOUR plan how to fix it asap!" [i]Developer:[/i] "*sigh"

  • The ONLY time you need to open chest is when you have the elder ciper, and for your first lvl 35 poe. Thats a whopping grand total of 4 keys (3 ciphers and 35 poe). The queens stuff it drops are all outshined by vendor gear or raid gear. You DO NOT need to open it every single time you go in there

    • From now on my keys will only be used on Skolas to get a third shop, and 28s because they take no time to finish.

    • Lol don't be mad. Items in the chest are trash anyways. I stopped opening those long ago when I realized this. Got keys piling up in my vault now. :/

    • Key word being extra. Bet you wouldn't be bitching about an extra Atheon drop if they did it that way. You want unlimited free loot? Lol its simple to get keys, it just gives players something to do if they have down time

          • They drop like candy. I never actively farm them, have everything I could possibly need (x2) from that chest, and have 6 in the vault. Not. A. Big. Deal.

              • I have 5 in my vault and i don't farm them, they're actually really easy to get, and using them outside of level 34 and 35 is pointless

                • I spent all morning farming for a single key instead of finishing the story mode on my 3rd character. When that didn't work I switched over to PVP to try to get NL Shadow 701x but played all afternoon and got just about everything else instead. I'm lovin' HoW but today was extremely frustrating. I'm done farming for keys but hopefully will be able to get the scout rifle tomorrow.

                        • I'm guessing it's so that players actually get to have a reason to go there instead of leaving it as the barren, useless wasteland it once was.
