The Darkness Mystery Box

well, i'm always unlucky with these boxes, but I think I'm gona buy 5 of them anyway... and the wings in Dezember when there'll finaly be a discount...

What I'd really like to see now are those black wings in a bright light version, matching this alabaster seraph set. That wouldn't be to much work to do, wouldn't it? And the look way better than these seraph wings...

Love those wings, but I'm not gambling for them.

GGG, I would be happy to support these random boxes and throw my money at you for such an awesome game, but not until you implement an option for me to sell back unwanted duplicate mtx. Sell me one box at 25 points and let me trade back duplicates for 5 points and I'll be all over this. Until that happens though, I won't buy any boxes.

I love all you people that comment on randomness but have no actual goddamned clue how it works.

Let's see here and here might provide some help.

Also, weighted randomness (the box outcomes) is still randomness. Every single drop in PoE is based on a weighted random, that's what rarity tiers are all about.

Also, it's so fucking cute threatening legal action. No, really, it is.

People don't care about your good explanations, they only want theirs item. Logic or thinking doesn't count after all.

It explain why they bought again and again this box and complaining all the time. But GGG like all other compagny count about this effect. And this is that who could be criticized.

But like they said :

"

Each box grants you one random darkness-themed microtransaction, with value equal to at least that of the box (25 points)

and

"

Note that these Mystery Boxes have random outcomes. Opening them near Kadaka does not double your luck! Please purchase them responsibly!

And box are only a way to support GGG like packs or coins.

EDIT : About threatening legal action, this is really a bad joke or a good troll.

Definitely no.....lol, this introduce some advantage to people who paid. Or let people sell vs money this random item if ggg only allow exhange cosmetics vs cosmetics (i let you thinking about it).

What is the next step ask for trading cosmetics vs currency ? :D

just got back after a 3 year break and i have to say the prices of your microtransactions are insane.

i wanted to buy an armor set but hey, 420 points, not sure what drugs you were on when pricing that but i'd like to have a taste tbh...
i could easily buy 4-5 new games with that kind of money, you should be ashamed of yourselves, and i thought bli$$ard were thieves, you just lowered urselves to their lvl imo, congratz.

You have to pay blizzard to play, but you are free to play here.
You are not required to buy any skin to play game and skins will not grand you any special powers.

maybe a 5 year old would believe you.
i can see through that scam eyes closed tbh.

please explain how you could play this game without buying at least stash tabs.

the only way to make your character look any good is to spend 45$, everything else in galme which is obtainable "for free" makes you look like a bum at best, hell some don't even have a pants when playing "for free".

I played without paying for anything for over 2 years, its definitely possible. After that I just felt I enjoyed the game too much to not contribute at least a little. Overal I have spend enough money that would buy me circa 2 AAA games. But I dont regret spending that money as it was completly my choice and I believe GGG deserved them for providing me with years of entertainment

EDIT: some typos (some still remain :-) )

solution suggested by OP would in no way gave advantage to to people who paid (at least any more than they have now) or let people sell vs money. OP suggested point refund of returning duplicate mtx to GGG for 1/5 of its original point value.

I missed understand, i apologize. Thanks for your help. Seem good idea, yes.

Each time a new box is announced, my brain keeps reminding me of the last few occasions but my heart is weak.

This time I was gunning for the exclusive hideout decorations, after 1350 points, only had 2 Dark Crystals and 1 Dark Fireworks Decoration. Gloom wings no where in sight.

Wanted at least 5 dark crystals decoration, didn't recall the ice crystals being so rare. *Clutches wounded wallet and cry in the corner*

well i bought 45 mystery boxes,here the result.

10x Dark Soulercoaster
5x Obsidian Boots
3x Obsidian Helmet
3x Obsidian Gloves
3x Rain
3x Dark soulcaster Ho object
2x Bandana
2x Dark Crystal
2x scorpion pet
2x Gloom Gloves
2x Steam Engine
2x Twisted Horns
1x Black Hole Portal effect
1x Ebony weapon effect
1x Black Cat pet
1x Nursery web spider
1x Raise Spectre
1x Gloom Boots

so i think its not even worth to buy this sh** boxes unless u will to pay 200$+ to get a wing or a body armour.I mean what the hell should i do with 5 Obsidiant boost...

I want to love this company, but boxes ain't love.
