Ether Chests and Ether Keys
Dear Bungle,
If you aren't going to allow people to collect multiple times from an Ether Chest, why is the Ether Key on a timer?
It reminds me of the loot chests that are out of bounds so you have to die to collect from them. Or the ones so buried in the architecture they can't be reached. Or the ones that are just graphics that aren't even interactive. Or the one on that ledge in the Divide that can only be reached with a running jump from a slippery slope, with two trees in the way, a chest perched on a wall next to a cliff so that if you jump a little too far you die.
It is my considered opinion that someone involved in your game design is a sadist.
Missing out on Ether Chests makes me not want to even do the bounties. In fact it makes me want to confine my patrols to completely different areas. In fact it lessens my desire to play the game at all.

2 RepliesWhy not just go to Venus where's there's only 3 and locations and two of which can be seen from the same line of sight? Sounds like you're making things harder for yourself by going to a place with more locations for chests. If your problem is with how Venus looks i can't help you.

3 RepliesThe timer is there because the chest is timed. Timer runs out : chest is gone. Also with the timer you can see how long you have left to get to the chest as the location is rather random. You have a chance to loot the chest you are not entitled to anything so if you do your bounty and cant find the chest, try again. In archer's line there are 5 spots that i know of: 1. off to the left next to the building, 2. From 1. a little bit further to the middle under the monorail 3. on top of the monotail 4. Next to the radarpost antenna 5. At the last patrol thing before you go to anchor of light sometimes the chest seems to spawn a bit later than right after the fight making you think it is far away only to come Back to where you killed the boss and see it Spawned close by. Happy hunting :)

1 ReplyThe timer is just to make it "challenging" to find the chest.

1 ReplyNo reason to farm chests. I killed a group yesterday and got my free key, went back to space and didn't even think twice about the stupid either chest

5 RepliesThese keys are useless anyways, they only serve one propose, which is to allow you to complete your PoE Level 35 exotic bounties. Aside from that, who really needs to sweat for a key to open a chest in order to get a crappy pink weapon? I don't. If it guaranteed a exotic item it would worth the trouble, but since it doesn't and I haven't seen a single exotic dropping from it since day 2 it's just easier to completely ignore the central chest existence.

4 RepliesNow people are crying cause you can't find the chest. Really? Open your dam eye holes and look for it.

8 RepliesEach one only appears in one of three spots.

3 RepliesBtw the one in the Divide can be reached by double jumping from the ground with Warlock or Titan class very easily (without death). It's meant to be a bonus reward to add some excitement and now with only one loot, you can generally find it in the time and stand next to it to alert everyone else.

5 RepliesThat's why you stick to the easy to access areas, such as Skywatch or the Citadel.
