Wonder what takes longer.

Starting a fresh account and work from scratch to this kc or Kyle (mod Ramen) telling us he's gonna rework the droprate and actually implementing the it.

Wish you the best of luck on the chest!

Don't really have an update on when it will go out, but can provide some clarity

  • Work is done, code review is also done. I've given our lovely QA a very sweet request, however we're closing in on the last few game updates before the end of the year and everyone is very busy
  • Drop rate to get a chest will be 1/1024, down from 1/5000 (A lot of internal discussion on droprates with Mod Jack, etc)
  • First 4 chests will drop in order
  • Anyone with gaps in their log will have it filled whenever they next roll a chest, then random from that point onwards
  • It's sadly never as simple as "We'll just get that out in the next update."
  • It's weird to be referred to by my first name

with it saying the chests will be dropped in order, does the one you get first happen randomly? Just asking out of curiosity because if it is always the same order, surely those at the end of the order will be vastly more expensive.

First one you get is still random to ensure there isn't a weighting to the 4

Your negative response made me sad.

They exist, unlike your humour.
