    Aby chest concern

    Something thats bugged me for a while now. We wouldnt expect to see a Time Extention in a gold chest, or a bunch of items in a red chest. So why do we have temp items in both blue and gold chests?

    On the same and seperate note, id rather see temps combined and placed in a new color chest.

    It's not the same thing. The blue chest acts as a assistant when xping offering instant boost to xp/cruor gains, increased time limit and a quick gain of temp items to restore your hp/mp and increase your attributes without needing a supporter or healing.

    A gold chest offers a means to ease the pain of obtaining pop items as well as "rare" materials that use to be hard to come by. It also offers higher tiered temp items allowing one to fight certain NMs with more ease by allowing them to use medication to quickly recover their health or even negate a dmg type for a certain amount of time.

    When you consider the 3 chest it basically goes
    Blue:
    Time
    Temp Items
    XP
    Cruor
    instant hp/mp restore

    Gold:
    items
    Temp Items
    Key Items

    Red:
    Lights

    Looking at it like this basically the blue chest have 5 variables time limit, xp/cruor gain, temp items and instant hp/mp/ability restore. Gold Chest have 5 variables in a sense of chest size, you have small items, big items, small temps, big temps and then big KI chest. Then red chest are basically every light possibility.

    If you take the following into consideration you would see that it's all done based on balance. While you say that blue chest shouldn't have temp items, then how exactly would you define a blue chest? A blue chest doesn't really offer a specific cause as it goes from increasing time, to handing out temp items, to giving you xp/cruor as well as soothing lights to restore you. So rather then think of it as temp items being out of place it's better to think of blue chest as an xp assistant to help one with the flow of battle and not have to rest as well as speeding up the process of leveling and gaining cruor to purcahse things such as brew.

    im well aware of each type of chest. However for most ppl, when their looking for something specific, be it TE, cruor, KI's, or w/e, i always here ppl voiceing their annoyence of checking chests only to find temps instead of what their looking for. I can understand that. Thats the point of haveing diffrent color chests (visually).

    Now im not saying we should get rid of temps or anything, merly that they should be removed from blue/gold chests and placed in a new color. That way you still have everything you had before, but its easier to identify them. (And to me, it makes more sence to keep all temps together, rather then seperateing them)

    If anything I'd rather have 2hr chests in a different colour.

    Exactly.

    Make all the soothing light chests a separate colour, that would be nice.

    Most exp alliances don't focus on capping amber lights, so having the basic temp items come out of blue chests is very helpful

    I have a better idea, lets just name all the chests in a very braindead manner ("XPlv1/XPlv2 / Cruorlv1 Cruorlv2 / RubyFaint/AzureStrong / KI, etc etc) so people can just datswap the name of chests they dont want to something blank, and save time by not checking garbage chests.

    And color code each type, so the ones that people wont want (gold temps, temp item chest, RUBYYYYYYYY chest) can be dat swapped to the infamous carby glow, so they cant target it, BRILLIANT IDEA.

    Do this SE plz..
