That's no moon! old

You can just select the strike from the director (both now and before, so I don't know why you brought that up), that isn't the problem. The problem is that they added items to the chests and you only get one item at a time (at least I have). I've gotten mostly class items and 3 devil's dawns. *Sigh* No, I much prefer the old way at the moment. I at least actually got what I wanted with the old method.

    I've gotten 7 imago loops and 5 grasp of maloks in 1 week. Before? I've gotten 1 imago loop and 3 grasp of maloks(I didn't farm it during that easy nightfall) the whole year. Don't get me wrong I've gotten the class items and the gauntlets in between but despite that I've received way more imago and grasps in this week than the entire year before the skeleton key. Those "strike director" that you speak of has an insanely low chance that it wasn't even worth it, only nightfall was. So I wouldn't even go there if I were you. In current form, I can just do strikes after strikes and keep getting keys. Then go to the strikes I want to receive drops from and receive it from there 100% a strike specific loot from a strike I want. Sure it has the 50/50 thing with which strike specific but that was always the case before simply because there are 2 strike specific drops in most strikes.

  • That is the solution. I mean they can increase the drop rate of skeleton keys if they want, I have no problems with that as I'll get even more keys. The solution of the skeleton key itself is the solution to the strike specific drops. You get to choose what you want no matter what strikes you are doing now. Before you have to farm a specific strike to get it, now you don't even have to do that. Farm anywhere, get a key, head back into the strike and get the strike specific loot table at will.

    Well congrats, you've gotten about twice as many keys as me it seems your luck has been in your favor. The same is not said for me so we are at opposite ends of this spectrum right now. I got plenty of strike drops from the director however you HAD to go to the director for some of them for a while. Namely Imago Loop and Theosyian Vibrasse. Not much of a choice on those for quite some time.

    I'm going to hope that you haven't been farming keys from heroics, heroics don't really drop keys for w/e reasons. 320 strikes are passing out keys like hotcakes. 320 strikes also drops 385 gears(skeleton key treasure) if you're around that level just in case you didn't know because a lot of people don't know still.

    I haven't been farming keys at all, I've been playing heroics for the marks and radiant boxes. I've been doing the 320's for the book as well. Yes I do know the chests are LL matching (or close to it). But honestly no, I haven't spent too much time in strikes other than nightfalls and what is required for quests, the rest of my time currently is spent raiding.
