Question for someone who closely watches for all news and information pieces

[SaintPhilipp]

So, i’ve been saving my chests since some time after content update hoping for new weapons and hats. Is there a sense in that, i know some told about leaked content?

Just after content update:

@Fatshark_Hedge

There will be more boxes, more hats, skins and frames and all sorts introduced to the game going forward and people may still hoard boxes now and wait for those.

Quite recently:

@Fatshark_Hedge

The likely plan for red dupes is allowing players to take a set of reds and break them down to turn them in to another red (that is not included in the original set of now broken reds).

Old position on hoarding:

@Fatshark_Hedge

“I opened 100 Legend Emp Vaults but some players hoarded those and now have better chances of items from those, I want my Legend Emp Vaults compensated because it’s not fair I didn’t hoard like those guys did.”

Simply put, we had to draw a line in the dirt and move past it, which is what we did. It’s a shame for those who didn’t hoard boxes.

@Fatshark_Hedge

What I’m saying is change happens and some people will benefit more in the very short term from change than others and that’s ok by us. Obviously not ideal but change happens and we keep driving forward. There’s plenty of commendation chests to be had, limitless in fact, all with improved drop rates and available to everyone.

Recent position on hoarding:

@Fatshark_Hedge

As for chest hoarders, the odds are that we’ll change our approach to this in the future should we tinker with anything, and we’ll try to ensure anyone who has hoarded chests have their chests unchanged by any alteration of drop rates.

I don’t know if they will lock the possible content of loot boxes and to what extent.
@Fatshark_Hedge might want to fully clarify Fatsharks position on this matter.

Every time I read about the fact that I had to hoard the boxes (because I had to expect something was, maybe, going to change), I cringe and even if I understand fs position about their consequential choice, the first 2 words that come up in my mind are quite rude. Thank you for reminding me

[SuperApathy]

Keep saving them. Things around here keep improving on that slow, nearly imperceptible pace.

[Jaffawer]

Frankly, I think that there’s really no point in opening them (comm chests especially). It’s better to save the chests and hope that you may get something new once they add new stuff into the game. And if FS decides that the old (already gained) chests won’t drop the new content, well… you won’t lose anything anyway.
