Treasure keys will become rarer with TTK
Edit: This is why Bungie are okay with cut content. Take a stand and show you don't want ANYTHING removed from the game! You paid for House of Wolves, you shouldn't have part of a game removed from you even if it is to replace it with something new!
OP: So we all remember how the Blades of Crota were removed from Patrol to reflect how we had defeated Crota in The Dark Below, right? Well from what I can gather from the Luke Smith interview, he also alluded to the removal of Prowling Wolves from patrol once The Taken King drops (he mentioned that veteran players will be able to say "I was there when..." Etc).
This means no more ether chests, and means instead of farming keys in patrol, you will have to get them from your first Queen's Wrath bounty OR, complete an entire Prison of Elders game to try and get one from the small chest.
And you thought keys were hard to grind right now? Better start grinding because it looks like they're going to become a lot more scarce come September.
[quote]If you played during The Dark Below, you were playing when there were Swordbearers everywhere. That's now gone and you can't recapture that now. Some things are being left behind as we move forward. It's the same with House of Wolves, right now, with the Fallen showing up all over the solar system. Those things are going to be less relevant as we move forward and the Taken are everywhere.[/quote]

Who cares? I care. Brst way to get strange coins fast and now keys are scarce as hell...
-
2 RepliesBy September every player will have recieved every fallen and queen weapon. You only need one and u can reroll so why have 2 queen ARs? Only different thing is the Elemental Fallen weapons from Skolas.
-
Who cares? The big chest is a big disappointment. I open it JUST because I have keys. If I didn't have keys, it really wouldn't affect me.
-
Who cares chest rewards are ass raids have better rewards imo
-
WGAF!!!! PoE rewards are junk and not worth the effort. The only reason to do it is for the etheric light. Once you have upgraded you favorites. Skip PoE all together.
-
I doesn't bother me the POE rewards are terrible
-
I've gotten more keys from Poe itself then I ever have from those chests anyways....not to mention outside of the cipher, the chest sucks anyways.
-
Edited by Art: 6/24/2015 3:31:50 PMI imagine they'll be tied to specific story missions like how the sword bounty can be done through that story mission for TDB that has two sword dudes in the middle and the very specific one for HoW bounty that uses the turret.
-
1 ReplyI'm not exactly sure how they'll do this, because a lot of the queens bounties require the prowling wolves event to occur. If the get rid of prowling wolves they basically do away with queens bounties also.
-
1 ReplyOnce you've done what exotic bounties you want to do for PoE, opening the chest is redundant. Open a chest gets you a pink queens gun (instant breakdown) a slim chance at an exotic, and motes and coins, class item. Doing a raid in the same amount of time nets you 2 exotic chances. A nightfall in 1/3 the time nets you an exotic chance. It's not worth the time to do PoEs really once you've got enough light and all the new exotic guns...
-
I didn't read this but why do I even need treasure keys at the present...let alone the future? I have everything. And more than I really need.
-
Think how bad the game will be for anyone buying it new when ttk releases. How pointless the 1st two dlc will be for them.
-
All you get are exotics and Queen's Wrath weapons anyway. Not much of a loss. Neither were the Swordbearers. If you really need the Husk, go farm the story mission for it. Likewise, if you really need a treasure key, do the bounty/ farm PoE.
-
Nobody will need keys by that point anyway. Once you've gotten your ship, shader and emblem for beating Skolas as well as found the Queen's Cipher three times for your exotic bounties there is literally no need to open that chest. The Queen's weapons are mediocre at best and can be obtained from reward packages from Petra.
-
7 RepliesIn this particular case, I really don't care. I'm honestly tired of opening that chest and getting the same Queens junk over and over.
-
got 3 keys in my vault. never got a key from an ether chest. no poops given.
-
1 Replyanother idiot trying to start an argument over nothing The chest is only worth it after beating Skolas for the ship shader and emblem Then three times after that for the Queens Cipher
-
You act like people will still be playing prison of elders by then.
-
I hate that the old raids have become of little value. Can't get new items from them but I have to say I won't miss anything about the prison of elders. The loot from that thing is just a joke and the play isn't a draw to me either. I see it will happen though with the way they did nothing for the old raids to keep them more useful they are just in a leave it behind mode. Most say that is how it works so what ever I guess. I think we will likely loose our weapons in the new game also and that is what really hurts as anything they have made lately is a joke compared to the raid weapons.
-
Clearly this is not something to inspire outrage at this stage. It is so easy for Bungie to simply up the in PoE drop rate at the appropriate time. I expect that they already have that planned and are watching current key aquisition/usage rates in order to set the drop rate right.
-
14 RepliesYour dumb, they took the blades out to add wolves, its that simple, the game might not be able to handle it if they had a crap ton of things in patrols. And for one its not hard to get a key and certainly not that hard to get through some prison. To me man your just another wanna-be guardian who just want wants wants and can't understand this game and how it works.
-
When TTK is out, the HoW events will be irrelevant and pretty useless. But landscapes will be invaded with the Taken...
-
But by TtK I'm pretty sure people just aren't gonna give a shit about treasure keys anymore. Surely months of crappy Queen weapons is enough to stop people from bothering with the big chest.
-
Nah it will still be in the game we need them for the queens wrath bounty
-
9 Replieswell the "swordbearers" were completely wrong in setting and numbers. they did not feel like a Threat" to earth more like fugitives that are released for duckhunt. run for your life little knife wielding brat! *bam*shotgundead' it was unintentionally funny those little fellas.. they should have been like uzrok and then about 20 with 100-200 thralls 5 wizards and 50 acolytes,, at ONCE-->. THATS an invasion.. or at least a threat.. and YES as a low level guardian you should better run like a squirrel and not going like "oh cool, freexp" the Wolves have been slightly better but seriously its only slightly better since they are supposed to be on the run.. so they better flee and run to give them guardians a chase.. they need to get on a sparrow or such.. (btw fallen have pikes, use them bungie?!) and third: who the f* needs keys ? well you "Need" three to open chests to get the queens cipher, but apart from that? NOONE needs them, they are only for the big queens chest that regtardless of the level contains ALWAYS the fukkin same crappy weapons.. shaders, emblems and "ships" (loadingscreensaver) are utterly useless and therefor who cares about them ? so no, noone needs keys anymore..

2 RepliesDoing poe 28 is faster than waiting for the wolves to spawn.....
