Its an insult. Ive gotten silver or gold marks from most of my chests this season. I get that you guys want the reward pool diluted but this is excessive. How about a pity where you are garunteed an immortal after so many misses. This isnt like keys. Burning chests are far more rare
In any case I will never buy a pvp pass as long as you insist on marks in chests devs.
Silver Marks are relatively quick and simple to farm. While their usefulness to you may vary, it’s something that doesn’t need to be in Burning Chests. I’m sitting on close to 20k at the moment; if I want more, I can simply run through a marked region in PvP real quick.
The same thing applies to Icons that deliver VP. If it’s something that can be farmed quickly and painlessly, it doesn’t need to be in limited currency gachas.
They are high % filler plain and simple. They are there to simply decrease the odds of getting immortal souls in hopes that that you actually spend money to get more burning marks.
At the rate the devs are going, we’ll have so many Immortals that it will take forever to level them to 30 as you won’t get much in souls for them from burning chests. And the only way to do so will be to spend money in on the passes and items in the shop to get more burning marks and keep trying.
It’s the same thing that’s happened time and time again. It’s why minor trait stones are still rewards in the Vault and Cedric’s drop % hasn’t been adjusted.
You know what would be cool? Some sort of system like guild seal chests for burning mark chests. Get to a certain vp and silver marks drop out. Get to an even higher vp and bronze icons go away…etc
