A white pony with a candy-cane colored tail!

for locked chests, at least let it be a non-max gold. yes chest might be a gamble; however, HM is more chalenging; therefore, there should be a greater reward for playing it! the way things are, HM is not even worth playing because you are going to have your lockpick broken more often than not and you are going to get a purple more often than not.

AGREED!

And again...at this rate I'll be Unlucky by 2008.

And here is the result:

Everyone else gets golds or even tomes, even if the pick breaks. Wow, I get white things and inscribed shards, Margonite tunics or masks, etc. Yeah, everyone really wants that stuff. If purples must drop, then they should be max with a low requirement so people will actually want to use or buy them.

the game needs a better economy period. if you want elite armor, then your gunna have to give up your life for a week and farm and get no drops at all. what I think needs to be cahnged is if your with a group of henches and heroes and a monster drops 104g, YOU get every snet of that drop and it doesnt dstribute to them.

Def change the drops in HM, gold items should be the minimum you get in locked chests... not purple.

MithranArkanere · Nov 04, 2007, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Not gold, but at least the base stasts should be max.

Not the req, nor the upgrades, but the base stats:
- Damage in weapons.
- Energy in focuses and staves.
- Armor in shields
- And spell recharge in staves.

Just that.

Agreed! It's not like the heroes are going to use the money for anything. More like you'd be using it for them to buy armor upgrades. Not everyone can farm. And not everyone wants a PUG like many people are suggesting that ANet is trying to make people do.

Also, about hard mode drops...Several times I've seen like 10 golds drop in one run for the same person while everyone else got either one or none. Same with purples. I think drops should be balanced more as well.

Oh noez, an MMORPG where it takes a whole week to get a set of elite armor.

Opening a Locked Chest, breaking the pick and getting a paragon tome... come on!

Fox Mulder · Nov 04, 2007, 08:39 AM // 08:39

4 of us got a total of 3 gold & 11 purple. I've been saying the drops r crap & lockpicks cost too much for a long time. Maybe retain pick if purple, break if gold? Saw that suggestion in an earlier post.
3 golds were rod & wand low req, & staff req 12

Should all be gold (if only to help with Wisdom title). If purples are unavoidable (and nothing is, its software!) then the lockpick should never break when you get one.

Although I contend that ANet wants to force a dynamic economy and therefore this will never be instituted. They want people to keep spending gold on petroleum (umm, lockpicks).

Master Sword Keeper · Nov 04, 2007, 01:06 PM // 13:06

Nothin grates my nerves more than using 1.5k and wasting that money just to get a purple worth 120g? Luck's got nothin to do with it. It's all code. Cold, hard, binary code.

Fix it or get out.

Kong · Nov 05, 2007, 01:14 AM // 01:14

The chests are fine.

You don't want to break lockpicks? Increase your titles.
You don't want to get purples? Stop opening chest.

Ouchies on the grapes. But eventually you'll get a drop that makes you happy again.

Didn't even take this seriously, maybe if it was a "Keys don't break on grapes"
or something like that, i would have signed, but its just a gamble, take it, and hope for the best.

Wish Swiftdeath · Nov 05, 2007, 04:51 AM // 04:51

so start a new petition, lockpicks dont break on purples, its just a bloody waste of money atm

Yea i've noticed i've been gettin grapes lately too. What's goin on in there.

/signed for switchin out purples for normal tomes.

Tender Wolf · Nov 26, 2007, 11:49 PM // 23:49

If the chest has to drop a purple it should at least be max with low requirements. Maybe not a perfect mod or inscription but you can find those. But they shouldn't be crappy and worth even less than what you paid for the lockpick. Even non-elite tomes are worth more.
