Out of the 3 days for a chance of 30 missions, I have yet to receive a mission to earn a Key.
At this point, I've pretty much given up on receiving anymore Officer loot.
I want a Balac's :/ just to see the paintjob on that thing. |

great marketing right here --> "and you will see that there are great drops in there, and at least ine ultra rare item that is not in EOM salvage"

200 boxes (got 12 then 8 then 10, 3 AMB on a row yesterday xD) -> 3 keys. 2 from a lucky salvage once, 1 from a mission. This is ridiculous CCP. Increase keys droprate, and decrease boxes one.

Im gonna make some wild guesses here.
1. Strongboxes are for selling AUR. (not much guessing on that one)
2. Daily missions are meant to reward people who actually play as oppose to AFK.
3. Daily missions are an excellent way to train new players in the game a little bit.
Assuming these are correct guesses on some of the intended goals would it not be better to drop the "random" salvage aspect and either base it on a ratio or participation (matches / wins /kills / warpoints) or just drop it from the idea of salvage completely and improve that system while giving out more keys in missions and maybe even as a daily login bonus.
FEEDBACK
Aside from the key drops we are discussing here I really enjoy the overall system. Missions give you something to think about in matches aside from the repetitive nature of run, shoot, and hack. They are a nice distraction and I am sure they will help with NPE quite a bit. All these are correct and describe the intent fully. The mainstay was to increase new player retention, and provide goals for intermediate players. Veteran players can acquire rare weapons and gear. We plan to add to this lifetime merits or achievements, hopefully we can implement a lifetime stats with goodies like "heavies killed", vehicles destroyed etc
Lifetime achievements would be amazing and likely a great way to get people to skill into certain things that are efficient at chasing one of those goals, assuming the prize is big enough. Something like this that provides an actual long term goal in Dust for anyone that is playing would be great for everyone from new players to vets.
Also if you could convert those in to PSN trophies so that we can compare with each other the already great social aspect of this game would go t a new level.

Funniest post I've seen.
"Spent my last couple dollars on a key, Looks like I'm having 'Pyrus' again for dinner"
Someone at the office must be getting teased.
With the average active mercenary walking around with 100-200 lockboxes @ 800 Aurum a key?
Seriously? Would you pay that? Put yourself out of your situation at CCP and put yourself in our seat and perspective... Do those numbers even make remote sense?
Key's should of been 100 Aurum each.. Which is still tons if someone went to open 100 boxes... But not enough that people wouldn't splurge a couple hundred Aurum here and there.
Plug in a few dollars here and there.
What you guys are doing with Key prices and the crappy nature of what you get out of boxes? IS stigmatizing Key purchases... And creating a negative atmosphere in the community about even spending ISK on keys.
In a week or two... The idea of purchasing Keys for Aurum is gonna be looked upon with incredulous laughter from nearly everyone. |

If everyone was getting officers in the strongboxes, then you would be selling a lot more keys in the marketplace.
I don't thibk there would be rage since everyone is stockpiling them right now. There is rage because we open 1 every week and amass 100 in a day. And when we do open them, it's 10 copies of STD gear bullshit, no disrespect :)

It already is by most people that have purchased keys.
My first 5 keys that I bought for 800 each to test the system gave great rewards. (Day 1 within 8 hours of release)
My next key that I bough 2 instant SP boosts for gave me crap.
My next 10 keys bought in the bundle yielded crap.
My next 3 keys gained through triple stacking boosters to reach my mission reward also yielded crap.
I already laugh at the thought of even grinding a higher difficulty mission just to get one at this point. |

to tell the truth the boxes just ****' me off now when i see them at eom screen, it is a good idea don't get me wrong, but it was poorly implemented and is an obvious cash grab.
....and that ultra rare stuff rattati spoke of is officer dropsuits and bpos of old...
if you shoot me from the redline i will ensure your death will be a swift one

I doubt they're not going to let us open these boxes without incentivising the purchase of keys.
I'm going to guess that eventually we can open the boxes, but it might be a destructive process which will drastically lower the chances of getting the gear at all once opened and even then, the gear might become damaged and automatically drops a metalevel- an officer weapon automatically becomes just a prototype and such. |

Keys in Salvage are really damn hard to get and I think it needs an increase. From what I can tell the 1 or 2 keys we got were just a glitch or something
