Because it's just one type of unique box. There are others, and if the past is any indicator, there will be more types of unique boxes in the future. Just like they've continually added more unique maps, bosses, and gear over time. If it could just drop anything, then it wouldn't be very unique.

It would be if it only dropped 1 guaranteed random unique armor piece. And maybe with a item-level minimum.

Walking into the chests that you describe means almost the same as just having them drop from a monster. The difference is that you know what's going to drop before it drops.

But a lot of this depends on the spawn rate of the chests.

Still looking for a reason why it would be good to only have the Kaom's items drop from it!

If they're planning to have many kinds of unique boxes, that will likely drop at least one unique, then it makes perfect sense to differentiate them like this. Also, while finding one of these will be cool, you're still a lot more likely to get the stupid ring rather than the armor. But it'll still be fun to find a unique box.

ooohh, ok, I get it. Some of the griping is worded in a general way, but is more specifically referring to the fact that Ambush league and Invasion league would not have an equal chance at the koam's increased drop chance form the unique strongboxes.

It DOES make sense that Invasion Bosses should at least have good loot drops to warrant engaging them.

ya. I dont even play invasion so it doesnt effect me, but I watch a lot of streams and read a lot of posts, seems like they could do with some motivation.

because its fun and it has a theme, why do you have to cry about things that have nothing worth crying about? Youre trying really hard to find something to bitch about and failing, why dont you just do everyone a favour and drop it, youve got nothing worth saying or complaining about.

YOU thinking it's not worth crying about doesn't mean everyone should think it's "fun". I've clearly made my point with different arguments. We will see after a couple of weeks into 1.1.3 :)

why not just give away the items?
dont see the difference.
this would make more sense in invasion where there is a risk of dying.
but ambush....wuuuut.

o_O

Once again, the SC league gets some sort of aweesome loot mechanic and what does HC get.. ridiculous invasion bosses.

nice

GG
can you use orb of chance to get unique boxes?

Woah, a lot of people in this thread don't even read the title. Unique CHESTS.
Yes, not one unique chest, several different types unique of chests. Is that so hard to comprehend?
What are the chances of you stumble upon a chest that drop a "Kaom's" labeled unique I wonder. Where are the other types of chests? Oh, you missed it.

And to the Invasion players, some of which are complaining about high risks, low rewards, why don't you just stop playing in HC leagues? Isn't a game supposed to be fun, for you?

More gg loot potential for the ambush league? When did you guys stop caring about the serious gamers that were the first comers to PoE, ie Hardcore leagues
