NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted June 2, 2019 I find it quite disappointing that Little Orbit seems they have decided to continue down the path of carrying on with Joker Mystery Boxes (which are just shitty loot boxes). This comes even after Matt had stated that they would look at such content closer due to the changing climate around loot boxes and even more specifically the legislation changes in places like Belgium. But oh well. Get that wallet out and get gambling. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilWonka 96 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Yes we been talking about this in my loot box model thread. No one is happy about it. I wish they would just make it like 150bux to get rather then a scam box. Edited June 2, 2019 by LilWonka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhosT 1301 Posted June 2, 2019 Just releasing armas content that isn't JMB would be much healthier for APB. But people are stupid and buy loot boxes so that's where you earn the most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted June 2, 2019 i remember when apb was the only free to play game that even had loot boxes with in game weapons and shit lmfao now its mainstream and no one likes it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they released a healthy amount of regular content for purchase and then every holiday/special event for there to be a JMB release then maybe it'd be okay. Although there probably should be more incentive to purchase the JMBS, as majority of the stuff in the boxes are useless for many of the players. (eg. 3 day weapons that most people have perm) If they could replace the weapons with a weapon selector and then maybe an clothing/emote selector for higher tiers etc then it'd be great and worth the money/'risk'.

Cr0 328 Posted June 2, 2019 It's amazing: I stopped buying them and suddenly I didn't have a problem with them anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeTurboAgresor 268 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) JBoxed does not cross the EU legislative as long as legendary weapons stays tradeable for ingame money. If you are againts JBs dont buy them. The weapons that JBs drops are not essential for you. But some peope want the weapons that it may offer. They are not stupid cuz of it. Actually its non of ur business what they do with they money as long as it does not break the game, lol. I never won anything from JBs (bought like 10-20 in total) so iam not part of your imaginary problem. Edited June 2, 2019 by AxeTurboAgresor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnifuWaifu 499 Posted June 3, 2019 While ignoring any use of the Search function, I wonder if they did both (JMBs and just making them outright purchasable) which system would be more popular? But I'll go ahead and answer myself by saying that the continued existence of JMBs pretty much shows us that JMBs are more lucrative than just putting them up for sale with a sometimes fixed price.

Well in all fairness Little Orbit did say in the past they would also release the things G1 already had lined up like the guns and car etc. It's just been a while so some people may of forgotten about that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xHenryman90x 129 Posted June 4, 2019 What's really wrong with the joker boxes? Preset prizes, duplicates of items you already have permanently and random weapon leases for 3 days that don't include updated list of all weapons listed on Armas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
