The Oriath Mystery Box

Music was dope

OMFG, I was waiting for exactly this!!! Thx GGG for making me poor again!

Hideout decoration in boxes? What's the point?
These mystery box decorations always stick out like a sore thumb compared the the regular free ones. (I'm talking bix fixed thrones vs street pebbles, etc.) But the biggest problem is that hideouts go down the drain at the end of the league anyway, so why bother building one.

HO ssaving and loading option pehelease.

When do the items in these loot boxes become available to purchase directly on the market place? There are some things I wanted from the Apocalypse one and couldn't find any information anywhere?

these look lame imo, bow skin, blood guard herald and weapon effects look nice but i would probably not get them unless i have the money

Good job. It would be nice to see other colour schemes than gold + whatever and red + whatever.

I'd like to see some green or purple.

I was hoping for new bow skin... but come on its 1:1 Stormcloud with shiny effect.

85% meeeh, 15% oh nice, 0% MUST HAVE!

Seems, TenCent isn't getting my money again...

About those MTX and Boxes

Wings, weapons effect combined wings - pet - helmet effect - portals looks great, but the global look of each armors, even the combine one does appeal much.

Hum maybe the white one look better.
But the cape/back attachement is horrible (you should work on those capes physics, its just a plane with like 12polygons hardly waving currently).


And those Oriath symbol and color theme look too familiar with the first Oriath sets released first in boxes.
Footprint and HEralds lack of.... amazingness, differences compare to what allready exist in MTX.
Bird pets are small so in mini ingame it will look like the allready existing crow and colomb.

You can do anything with imaginating, Capes with gold, shiny stuff pending on the ground, with ribbons floatings. Trails of sands, leafs, like a wind trails fallowing the character.
Back attachement could be torn/shredded cloth, with chains, you can look be inspire by royal clothing.

About pets

You can do Ghosts pets, royal monkey pet, parrot/bird of paradise pet, wolfs, hunt dog with spiky collars, royal cobra with fancyness, Pets that remaing on your head or Shoulder (like a big Owl), or glowing little sparkles, with different colors, orbiting around you, not just floating.
I mean there is no limit. Lastly its just "bird" or same shape pet or tiger/lion same shape big pet :S.

About weapon effects

Same for weapons effects, its mostly an "infuse glow" that came out at the same pace. you can make like tornado, circling effects, that came in waves, aspiring effects, with like dark particles attracted by the weapon, glow that change color from the bottom to the tip of the blade, effects that shatters, hat leaves longer trails but only from the tip, particles that drip on the ground, like acide/magma stuff, sparks/bright light that pop, shine sometimes on the weapon, more importantly but not constantly.
Cause currently even if the realisation of effect is correct, they all looks too similar (same size, amplitude, ..)

Armors appearances

Every armor/shield is like a big block with 0 interaction, why not adding a bit of physic to them, let chain pend from a shield, broken shield with some parts floating, like magic shields, with some glowing parts sometimes, armor with effect that only shine/glow in the dark, green/ red vains or magma.stuff infuse in the armor design ?

That just ideas, but those last armor/MTX seems to reaching a cycle for sometimes... And usually the Ingame look is too .. flat, to desaturated, its hard to see the details you see in trailers, not enough contrasts between parts/ from colors, and its all really too static.

Also armor can be made of Cloth/leather, with some skin parts visible, like armor from Tribes, Marauder or Witch tribe universes, with necklaces colofull stones in it, pendants, bracers, feathers, it doesn't have to be only big fat Metal armour Make some part of the body visible, not only a FullArmor.
There is not much stuff that look like a big tribal marauder or an evil witch (you did a great work in Characters ascendency Design Portraits, you could do some Armors that looks like that, chieftain/elementalist, occultist ones look great in artwork.

Universe coherent direction
Also since the last Boxes with mechanics wings and stuff, and this one with "mechanic" arc, its seems you are deviating from the original universe in term of.. coherence. I mean path of Exil doesn't look too much medieval/steampunk, magic, but its still a more "magic" universe, from older times, than a Mechanic/futuristic universe for me, its full of demons and dark creatures, you should focus on thematics around this, armors with parts of demons, horns, with some component of heroic/fantasy magic and dark universe, leather, metal, flesh.
But from my point of view, mechanic bow and wings are too far from the global univers, it should be more magical/ dark than mechanic. Or maybe a bit mechanic but oldschool, not super futuric stuff mixed with some medieval/magic/dark universe, doesn't fit much.

About doubled MTX
I know rerolling an MTX Box would be to advantageous for people, but you should do a system wich like give you the possibility to reroll an item you don't want for let say 1 time another item of the same tier, OR an item of a lower tier at least.
Let sais you got 3Wings, wich is awfull, or the White wing you hated, give us one the the 2 following choices.

-> reroll 1 time in a lower tier (wing are tier "value 110" > "rerolled for a tier "value 80"
OR
-> reroll one time for a random item in "tier value 80"
And for hideout decoration, well since we got usually a lot, also "reroll for another decoration". At least it should give player more... choice and less complains.

Or just refound the item for 50% of the Box price. So 2duplicated could give us anoter choice.

Box are not that evil, but all the duplicated stuff should HAVE at least a one time reroll option. It could even boost your sales, at least give i a test and see how it operates.

But thanks for the hard work and Delve^^.
And the combined Effect was already a good direction for "Ramdom Boxes" issue^^

Not a fan of the triple face thing on the red set, and the white wings look weird to me. The combined sets look awful imo.

I like the portals, the heralds, the bow, and some of the hideout decorations, but I'll personally be passing on these boxes.
