Thanks for the feedback. We are evaluating how the new Crates are being used, their frequency and such. Look for refinements in future updates.

If they were a much rarer ocurance I think people would be happier with them.

They are not dropping for me. Do increase the drop rate. I played 8-10 hours straight and not a single crate drop for me. :(

Just voicing out because not everyone feels the drop rates are high.

Yeah, I've only personally dropped 3 crates so far. Must be a different location or just people are not opening them...

The drop rate is just fine, the fact that nobody wants to open them is what's bringing the prices down.

Prices are low because the gear in them is not worth anything. I don't think lowering the drop rate at this point is going to improve the prices of the crates. Would you buy a crate for 10-20k gold and spend 15 plat (the equivalent on an additional 15k in gold) to open a crate that contains a pink worth less than 1k in gold?

15 plat price to open is what's killing the price.

Question for everyone: How many genuine drops have you gotten? Not rerolls. Cuz i've farmed a ton and seen easily 30-40 drop, not a single one was a genuine drop.

Drop rates are fine where they are imo.

EDIT: Well, genuine drop rates could use a bump up. Don't want plat users to be the only ones able to get drops.

I think the gear should be better, and the crates should be rarer. You are actually discouraging me from getting a luck elixir since an elite gold chest is better than the watch crate.

Why not complain about the drop rate on loki, malison and kettle? they're the ones that need to be fixed, it's probably because you don't have them..then when you get em and start making gold off ones you don't and once the price drops you'll complain about that too...drop rate on some things shouldn't change, some pets should of stayed hard to get. crate chests suck, you want the gear in them? the cs is flooded with it.

Apperently you have no idea what you talk about so just dont talk.
First i do have kettle malison and lokis 2nd the drop rate is way to high 2 days ago the whole crate ah got bought out and in less then 3 mins there were 170+ new crates thats rediculous there legendary crates they should be hard to get. And yea maybe the plat price iss to high but if i see the prices in ah of the items come out crates there over 400k so there are good items in there aswel the price atm is 1790 there already cheaper then banded coppers its a freaking joke

Gotta be careful when playing with drop rates.

Some players are crying about it here but they stocked up on crates and they are gonna jack up the prices once the drop rate gets decreased.

Just as a possibly interesting data point, I hadn't dropped a single crate, then got the 60 min multi-elixer from Klaas and dropped 5 in the next hour. Haven't dropped one since. Kind of strange.

Bad move on their part if they do, changing the drop rate won't change the fact that only rogue armors are decent. Heck, even the heroic vest of stability armor for rogue that has same stats with demonlord leather of stability is priced at 20k, while the demonlord sells for 200k minimum. Weapons? Dark watch swords are the only ones that are worth it. Accessories? Only the strength version of watchman's ring is worth it. So to unlock a crate worth 15 plat for those 2 possible items as opposed to opening elite banded chests, (if ever they be priced the same because of adjusted drop rates), with a lot more possible rewards, what will you buy?

Let's say you have 30k gold, would you buy 1 elite golden banded? 3 elite silver banded? Or 1-3 locked crates, with an additional 15 plat to unlock.

I think drop rate is fine. Afterall it requires plat to open. Im content at spending 2,900 gold and 15 plat for one dope *** gear piece hahaha

The drop rate is pretty high. I got two in a row and had three in 15 minutes of doing elite maps
last night. Just too bad they are almost worthless.

I think that the drop rate is fine personally.

It's more a matter of people are just farming like crazy - especially when you get a Re-Roll Elixir or a Combo Elixir.

I have only dropped one, maybe two natural Crate drops. Had probably 8-10 with a Re-Roll.

I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I get a Re-Roll Elixir, I start farming Brackenridge aggressively (both normal and elite). Jarl is easy to beat, and the map only takes a minute or two (even in elite mode) so with a 60 minute combo elixir, I can farm elite Jarl ~30-35 times or I can run the normal map completely (Thunk and Jarl) about 40 times as well. That's a tremendous opportunity for rerolls - even if the drop rate is 1% I am almost guaranteed to get at least one Crate drop during that hour.

The truth is that there is more farming going on in AL than I ever remember in PL. I've never seen a map farmed as aggressively as Jarl in PL. Even when I was doing Keeper runs in PL, I never ran it this many times.

I would love to see some statistics from the devs to determine where the most heavily farmed maps are. I would think that Brackenridge, Rooks Nest, Rooks Hideout, Arcanum Castle and Tower of Mardrom would be the most popular (in that order).

The recipe for successful farming is quick runs and repetition.

Same here played like 6 hours and no drops but ohh well still got some profit by buying the Watch crates :D

Farmed for days, no luck. (Literally)

Get on an alt with Luck lix from Combo, and get 3 in under 5/10mins.

The drop rate for re-roll is the problem, not the actual drops, if anything they should be raised slightly and re-rolls nerfed.

Well after you level up to 21 there's nothing more to do but farm!! (Or go play PL again)
I do agree with your comments completely!
