Lucky Boxes: Happy or disappointed?

[Kittypretty]

I only spent xim on amun for my hunter (50) and the epic/magical armor/weapons i did manage to get ...umm an odd 20 times out of boredom to see what id get..fearing my 2+ month hiatus for having my baby and stuffing myself with family over the holidays would leave me outclassed since everyone would now have uber weapons..i was less than impressed.

I seen alot with resist cold/light/fire etc with a bonus of 1%

the epic bow i got paled in comparsion to a viper id gotten as a gift along time ago,

and while my current armor is garbage itself (mostly fk armor with dex bonus) id rather go on using what i have than some resist blunt %1 lvl 50 gear.

i realize its a lazy way to get items rather than grind..so i dont feel bad about people who get shammed while trying to take an easy way out :P but...dang..ive just seen mostly crap items from people. what ngd should have done for the price was..make unique items, unobtainable anywhere else, and not just say a dragonwings bow with some random attributes slapped on.

soi would say no, and im glad they DO have amun to try before you buy..or in my case...not buy.

I wanted a piece of gauntlets, i got like 3 leggings 2 helmets, 2-3 breast plates. One helm and leggigns i wear (due to +mana,+dex) the other are CRAP the finest. Theyre arent much better what i weared before but have some 30ac more (lvl 50 instead lvl 42-45). For the amount of real money i put into that: A SHAME. Wont buy any more of them ever.

From reading on the forums and seeing some of the items people have got from the boxes, i am happy i didn't take a gamble and buy some

[WolfesteinX]

I dont buy more xyme until they change the loot of weapon drop for the platinum boxes. I spend 80 buck to get a decent bow and dont get nothing more that garbage in the same way with my warcraft ... i hope NGD change the loot of the platinum boxes really...

Hi,
Iv'e bought a few items with one char and got 3 good epic items out of 4 purchases, so generally happy.

Another char (barb) got me a good quality hat of the herbalist wtf!!

That needs to be fixed. Will contact ngd regarding that one.

Cheers

i thought they were going to do lucky charms instead?

whatever happened to that idea?

would have made more sense..and not the easy way out, to have a wearable (as in equiptable, taking the slot of the pendant) and differing levels of bonus for the price..say 10% 20% or whatever better chances at finding drops or during grinding. that would keep the economy alive in RO rather than just everyone out for themselves and filling ngd's pockets in the hopes of we get what we want.


i dont know why but i am against this, even if the items are crap, items should be earned by hard work (ro work...not i go to work and make money work =)
id rather drool over someones awesome equip he tricked out of someone, grinded ages for, or bargained for, rather than this "everyone with money" can basically build an instant hero if his pockets are deep enough =/

and i have paid here and there for things i like about this game so im not against supporting ngd monetary wise, but i honestly dont think introducing such items will help the RO economy nor ngds.

maybe im just silly and wrong though, just my thoughts.

I am happy with the boxes I bought, afterall you get what you buy a chance to roll the dice for an item. Some are good.

[Cool_is_i]

lucky boxes should be purchaseable with gold, [no im not cheep], because $15 is too much for a CHANCE of getting a good item, and an even smaller CHANCE of getting one of your class.

Make the boxes purchaseable with ingame gold, make them expensive 200k or so.
The current chance rate, no certanty of getting an item of your class, or even a good one.

Though keep Lucky Boxes in premium, same price, 100% chance of getting an item of your class, level, and has bonuses.

The bonuses may vary from crap [but still useable for your charachter] to excellent.

an easy way arround this is to THINK you want a full set of crap armor without gauntlets, and for another class, and you will get the opposite :P

I had enough leftover premium for a platinum lucky box, and I got a decent bow from it. It's only moderately better than the xymerald bow I used to have before it was nerfed by the update. Generally speaking I would say it isn't worth the money.

It's annoying how hard it is to find good items.

I was interested in these boxes too, but judging from the feedback here, it doesn't seem to be worth the money. I like Cool_is_i's idea. It will sort of be like in-game mounts this way and maybe a good money-sink in game to encourage trade even more.
