Please, allow us to open an entire stack of strongboxes at once (if we have enough keys in inventory, of course). Without removing the option to open them individually if you want to.
You have recently increased the strongbox stack limit from 50 units to 5.000. Do you expect someone to sit there and open 5.000 boxes one by one? or even 1.000? this is ridiculous. Your top priority should be to encourage active gameplay.
Right click on a stack > Open All > Are you sure? > Yes/No
1000 boxes takes around 2 hours to open thats like 2 wasted hours of game time as i dont count sitting and opening boxes as gaming so ā¦ Yes Please add the option to Open all at once.
My first concern with opening boxes, is getting RSI from the many clicks that are needed to open each box.
Iād rather have boxes hotkey-able, i.e. dragging your stack of boxes to a key, and that key allows you to instantly open a box of the stack, reducing the amount of needed clicks, but still keeping some fun at it.
Another option would be, considering boxes as being an item that can be equiped, like tools or weapons. As suggested above, pressing the F key would open the box, and again reducing the amount of needed clicks.
I wouldnāt mind this being visualized, as in, you can see that someone has a box in his hand.
I agree that āopen this stack of boxes instantlyā would be an interesting option, receiving a TON of items in loot simultanuously, and perhaps a couple of rare item hofs right on top of eachother.
Yes, people have been opening even more than 5000 boxes one by one in 50 stacks for years.
No. This idea would never work and shouldnāt be done. Most likely the lootius servers canāt handle that many loot events at once (imagine 50 people opening 1000 boxes at once) thatās 50000 loot events in one second. Also thereās the problem of loot wave camping abuse from this option as well.
I do agree like other suggested due to RSI concerns, make it so you can hotkey it.
An option to skip the animation automatically as well would save time and allow ppl to hunt with less distraction while opening boxes.
Lootwaves are real, anyone who disagrees is blind, thats why globalticker is one of the most important sources of information ingame. And also a key clue to how to work the system from different angles, esp during events.
Remember the good old days when crafting was a one click/ one craft affair. Thatās what opening boxes is like. I hate it. Especially when, after all that, all you got was a hermetic ring.
Who said each box needs to be a separate loot event? I said āall at onceā. Instead of 1000x 10 PED loot events over 2 hours you would get one single 10k PED loot from the strongbox loot tables. If you ask me this is much better for the server.
But I didnt talk about implementation, I dont care, thatās MAs job. You are all fixated on the wrong things.
Today I saw a streamer open boxes for more than two hours, it was the saddest thing ever and he kept complaining, very rightfully.
And about the āloot wavesāā¦ well then fix them too while you are at it. If besides making suggestions we have to also take every single bug and glitch into account we would never suggest anything.
I dont care about specifics, having us open boxes one by one, requiring multiple clicks each is just terrible design. Period.
That said, I have seen people opening boxes while hunting. I imagine it would be much easier while crafting or mining though since you often have bits of downtime.
I agree whit the option to open muliple boxes at ones, it takes a borring shit load of time when u want to open 500,1k,2k,3k,4k,5k+ specialy the affort it take so a hotkey or open all in one click would be verry nice to implement in this game, and why not ppl gamble whit explo automaticly so why not whit boxes ?
They could make it run a bit like crafting. Each box is opened individually, but you donāt have to be physically doing it, and can be doing something else at the same time. Maybe a happy medium.
