I STILL Don't Understand the LoN Key

Kriptini · 10-12-2009, 10:06 PM

Would someone be kind enough to explain how this works exactly? I couldn't follow the General Gameplay forum because Sylvanbitch's complete abscence of logic and everyone's hard-on for jumping on the flamewagon leaves me confused and answerless.

Does this thing have an instance with AA in it? Is the reward worthwhile? Do the groupmates get the reward too? Big thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.

You have a chance to get a loot card in each booster. Of those loot cards will be a key to an instance. The person with a key can zone the entire group into an instance. Everyone will have access to complete the quest involved and receive a reward. When the key holder completes the quest, the key is removed from his/her inventory. This means that if he/she decides to not finish it, they can reset the zone and use it multiple times.

AA is assumed as multiple named mobs have been confirmed. It was stated that the named mobs did NOT drop chests, but that was from a preliminary run from Kiara; this may not be the case when live.

Loot will not be fluff like Shard of Love and will be appropriate for the difficulty of the zone.

This means that LoN is directly impacting gameplay, which is why there is a big fuss about it. It also means that key holders can/will be selling group invites to get into the zone. There is a line and SOE stepped about a mile over it according to a lot of people.

Awesome, thanks Diknak. You should be General Gameplay mod, tbh.

Heh, out of all the people responding to my threads he is one of the few who can actually read and respond... to bad he wants me banned too.

yeah . . . it is too bad isn't it?

Thanks, but I only browse these boards on my lunch break everyday at work and don't want to let the board go to shit because I can't devote enough time to them.

Ah. Even so, I really do appreciate the amount of help you are on these boards.
