RNG promotes harmony in any online community. You're happy for the lucky bastards that found the box and the lucky bastards are sad for the poor souls that haven't.

Sadly, if only human nature worked that way more often online, what with anonymity and all...

That said...only 'unique strongbox' I ever found was one of those spider-spawning barrels and that's it. The whole 'doubling it' thing really doesn't mean much to me at the moment for that reason, so here's hoping that GGG actually does up the spawn rate of these things.

You can think about it in entropy terms, you get some random amount of a shav by playing the game and when it crosses 1 you drop one. Maybe you had 0,6 of a redblade cache accumulated and this doubling would have pushed it over the threshold.

Of course, it doesn't really work that way, but it helps if you think it does :)

Playing daily since last oktober and found about 5 or 6 unique boxes. But what for? The loot in them is always ridiculous. They do not need to buff to double the boxes but make it worth finding one after x*100 hours which really gives you a reward then.

Thanks.....

Posts like these are just garbage, and makes the forum what it is.

A lot of people are complaining about drop rates. When the drop rates are being doubled, they're complaining about that too. The youth today... Silver platter, and all that.

This is just a joke that came to my mind :

Unmentioned Fun Fact 2 about Path of Exile: Atlas of Worlds

Unique Strongbox drop rarity will be halfed

Joke aside its a nice change. After all most unique strongboxes are exciting on their own and it is fun to come across them ( despite them dropping crap most of the time ).

It's not total garbo. Strong boxes are too rare and too unrewarding and doubling a very small drop rate does not do too much to change that.

I think it does though.

Obviously when you approach it from an individuals perspective the chance is negligible.

But GGG can't really afford to balance around such a perspective, so given a larger scale as in
"the entire playing community" a doubling of this event will also mean an increase in the potential rewards they provide.

Though this will mostly only be visible on the market.
