I feel incredibly lucky now, I actually got 2 keys in a single pub match, I think I placed 3rd place in the match and we lost so I'm pretty sure it's random lol.
Feedback:
I understand that I'm going to end up with hundreds of boxes to keys ratio as its trying to incentivize me to spend aurum for keys but here's why I don't feel it's solid. One of the boxes I opened gave me 13 Neo Scout C-1s. I looked at the market value and that's 780 aurum. The keys cost 800 aurum. If it's absolute chance that you will get something you can actually use (IE. I haven't gotten anything that I've wanted from any of the boxes so far, which is likely as I just use minmitar stuff) they should at least on the low end give you as much in aurum as the keys cost. If player trading becomes something soon then this is much less of a concern. But for now, I see no reason to spend aurum on the massive pile of boxes I have when there's a chance not only that I won't get anything I want but that I could get what I want for cheaper directly from the store. I did get one set of Minmitar medium suits that I like to wear in my quarters so it's not all bad. I just don't see any reason to spend aurum on keys as they cost quite a bit in comparison to the random aspect. You can actually lose value in keys or just spend aurum getting exactly what you want, so I for one won't be buying any anytime soon. The officer thing is kind of meh to me. I'm just stockpiling officer weapons to sell for player trading anyways, same goes if I end up with officer suits. Those things are far too rare to use in battle, only one I normally see anyways is the Thales due to the ability to hide in the red line and use it. I'd rather sell officer weapons for vehicle/proto spam then to use it once and probably kill two people before getting dogpiled. |

Not to be the guy that seems like he's trying to defend the company unreasonably, but you don't have to play the lottery unless you really want officer drop suits, which meh, would you ever use them if they cost an aurum tank each? I'd say if you enjoy the game then buy some bpo's that's what I did too. Just open boxes with the keys you get in salvage and in dailies if you don't want to spend aurum, I know I won't. I got some officer weapons yesterday in salvage so no they haven't been removed from salvage. You can get keys and officer weapons from eom I can confirm. |

Don't have any idea how many matches I've played
Just give it time man, it's only day 4 of them existing. I didn't get any day 1, I got 1 from a mission day 2, and I got 2 from EOM on day 3. It's gotta be just as rare if not more rare to get keys as officer weapons so don't expect to see them often. Boxes on the other hand, keep falling from the sky. |
