Can we have lockpicking?

i would just make 100 chars and keep all loots on my chars not in my stashes or guild stash if this was done in the game

I would say stealing from each other would be a bad idea but stealing from Dominus would be fun.

Why would a character capable of 40k dps waste their time picking locks when they could just smash?

For the same reason some tree roots stop it from entering a ruin.

lmfao!

Nicely played, sir.

As for the original suggestion, I wouldn't mind some lock picking incorporated into optional side areas or locked chests, but as a mechanic for raiding other player's/guild stashes? I'd drop GGG in a heartbeat if they did something that stupid.

That would be really cool.

Taking this idea even farther, maybe all maps would contain various (randomized) puzzles to make them more interesting as well?

But not the thing about taking other people's stuff from stashes.

I've played other rpg type games where locked chests were involved. I found it somewhat annoying in that you had to buy keys in order to open the chests and it was a blatant attempt to create a gold sink for the economy.

However, I think I would enjoy locked chests in PoE under the following circumstances :

The chests should be guarded by some kind of boss.
The chests should be somewhat uncommon; finding one every 3 or so zones seems about right to me.
You shouldn't need to buy anything to open the chest. A minigame which allows you to pick the lock would be awesome though, especially if the skill you show at the minigame improves IIQ/IIR mods of the loot you get from the chest.

I actually think this is a great idea. It could break up the gameplay and make the game feel less repetitive. Ill talk to Chris about it. Cheers for the idea dude.

Better improve chest loot then or we'll get a lot of rage posts.
