Loot needs to be fixed

[Solomon O'Rage]

I was looking today at the South Idol and I got a skull loot chest. Naturally, I got excited. But I got this. This needs to be fixed. I don't see how this classifies as a skull chest.

Loot at South Idol has always been mediocre at best for me. The loot skulls I get on Tormenta are generally much better.
I think loot skulls should only drop if something good is inside. It is a bummer when you get trash like that.

It's not broken. You just got an item that is Common, thus why you had a bigger chance of getting it. Just because you aren't getting anything good does not mean the game is broken, that's just your luck.

Solomon did not say it is broken. He pointed out that what you get in a loot skull chest is not very good oftentimes. Sometimes it is about as bad as what you get in a loot pouch. Loot skulls should drop with better items, but be much more rare. The loot pictured above should have dropped in a loot pouch or chest.

Not to mention the entire section on the forums.

I love this, you are the recipient of one of the many horrifically bad Loot Skull Chests. Really, I don't mind getting these at all and don't get why so many people rant about them on Forums, is it for the fun of complaining about it? I see it as just another fun part of the game, you never know what you might get. All the best items do in fact drop in TLOPO and there is no shortage of players with unbelievably good chests, myself included. If anything loot should probably be nerfed, particularly in light of the developers adding a second page of inventory. I certainly would prefer to have a few great and rare (actually rare, not labeled that way) items to having every great item along with everyone else. Bad Skulls are fun.

Sadly enough , Skull chests are far from the normal as in potco , but I'm sure Tlopo set these standards to get worse from skulls then pouches and loot chests .

I get about the same number of famed as I did in POTCO. I have gotten a famed in a loot pouch which never happened to me in POTCO. I believe that people that think TLOPO loot in general is worse than POTCO have poor memories. That said, it is true that the bosses, particularly DH, are worse for both gold and loot than they were in POTCO.

The loot rates are fine as they are. Maybe a nerf is necessary. I just would prefer if loot skulls would drop when the loot is good. This would make them rarer and more prized rather than there not really being a difference between loot pouches, chests, and skull chests because they all have very similar contents.

Yes, 1 to 2 famed per day was about what I got in POTCO and is about what I get in TLOPO.

I opened a skull chest with zero gold and a boarding saber.

Hey, that's pretty good!

Thank you. That was the exact point I was trying to make!

I agree with who ever said this, it should only be a skull if there's something good inside. So the game goes like this

I'm gonna give this fool 2 gold and a rusty cutlass, it'd go in a loot pouch because its good for nothing

then it says I'm gonna give this person two cards and a War Broadsword, that be a loot chest because its good for some not all

and finally the good stuff its gonna give you a grimhound blade 54 gold and a bejeweled cutlass, would go in a skull because its good for all
Clothes shouldn't affect it either, they really don't have a purpose other than to look good.

Not every skull chest has a db vest and a black shark blade?
