Random key drops!

[Randy Savage]

Unless I'm mistaken only crates drop randomly, that and what is usually s**t loot. All the good loot is in crates or thumbdrives (a crate...why change the name to seem cooler is beyond me). Why the f**k would you guys not have a small drop rate of free keys to unlock said crates? I get that selling the keys is a source of revenue for you guys but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, at least reward people for playing for hours on end by making a .01% chance for a key to drop or something. At least show that you give a s**t that we actually play the game and stop trying to basically just sell us keys in order to get cool stuff. Thanks for the eye patch too...that's all I've gotten after 17 hours. Oh and crates. Whoop de doo!! Better drop rates please.

I'm fine with gun skins.
I think its a fun little thing that no one is forced to do.
By adding in free key drops that would make people be more inclined to want to buy keys to get more stuff after having fun opening their first case. That would make a lot of people mad and blame everyone else and not their own lack of self control.

I'm not ok with stat boosts. Probably 95% (or more) people probably would hate stat boosts. It's lame and puts people at a disadvantage regardless if its rng free or paid for.

MTs are just a thing that will be in games for a long time to come in the majority of games. People want money. I don't mind MTs in KF2 or CS:GO/TF2/Dota2. I've bought several keys and because of how few items there are, its actually really not hard to get a good item. I've made about 30-ish dollar profit so far.

Edit: I know that "better" items have a lesser chance of being obtained. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the chance of you getting a good item from a case in KF2 is way higher than any game I've played. Which is good.

More key drops would be good, its the price of keys that is wrong. In other games like TF2 they have a huge community so they can at least trade for keys (bills/metal). So even at the same price u have ways of getting a key just by playing. We gunna start trading headbands for keys? pffff...

Honestly, copying other games without having the same amount of players is a little short sighted imo...

I agree at least give us a option to opt out of loot drops for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ USB encrypted stuff or the crates I have no plans to buy the keys so when even I do get a drop in a whole week of playing I'm pissed when it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ encrypted USB or a Horizine crate.

Crate/USB keys DO drop. We've probably had a couple of question and one or another PSA threads on this before, with certain people trying to silence or discredit them ASAP.

Is this true? Do both of them drop? I thought that it was just keys that dropped.

where have you been? crates have a huge drop rate, where as keys have a very small drop rate.
they both do drop, infact someone made a post complaining that he got droped a key and he HAD to buy a crate... the key, atm, was selling for more than 5 dollars, and the crate, less than 20 cents.

Well dang, thanks for the info. I guess I shouldn't have sold those keys that I picked up, then. I figured it was just the usual method of wringing money from people by giving people half of an item set, and requiring you to buy the other half to keep you from feeling like you're "wasting" your luck.

This. This is the crux of the issue. The solution? Don't pay for any of it. By not paying for market items or keys, you're telling Twi with your wallet that you don't want this crap system. And that's the most powerful way you can possibly "talk" to a business--with your wallet.

Agreed! I paid for 2 keys and I've decided I won't be paying for any more. It's such a shameless system, which sucks because the core game is so damn fun! It's just a disappointing facet of an otherwise very satisfying game.

Hahaha... Sorry for all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Randy. People get so upset easily. I do agree though. So far I've gotten so many more crates than actual items. Maybe people are mad because your initial tone was somewhat hostile, but it made for an entertaining thread. Thanks. =)
