Maybe I'm the only one, but I can't help laughing at the irony in the pursuit of the pink box.

Recursion did get the numbers up, but unfortunately we were still a half hour too long in doing my Daimyo box.

Recursion did get the numbers up, but unfortunately we were still a half hour too long in doing my Daimyo box.Well it was about 5 people doing damage upto about the 90 something spawn, with me and Nicks healing and buffing. A lot of players didn't log into Recursion till very late on, so the extra help came, but a little late, though nice to see the Mec players there just standing and watching.

Same thing with Zudrag and I.
Honestly the drop rate for the Shurikens is horrible. On average you can get from 5-9 shurikens from one box. when you need 72 for one outfit. And if you want all the outfits that's 216 shurikens. That's 44 boxes you'd have to go through if you got five on each one. For one person that's 44 boxes. For an entire team that's 264 boxes for 1,296 shurikens. Say the box takes the full two hours, and that's 528 hours of killing the same ninjas. That's the amount of three weeks and a day. T_T

yep, you're right. So that's even more than I estimated. I forgot to add another 36 onto the 72. Oh well.
That's 324 for one person, 5 on each box that's 65 boxes. 390 boxes for a team, and 2 hour on those boxes would be 780 hours, actually. Which is 32 and a half days. That's a month of straight farming plus or minus a few days.
you can get enough for 6 people with 33 boxes.....thats if each spawn drops a shuriken...which is impossible....
and 99 boxes if you want all the colors.
and 99 boxes if you want all the colors.
To me it seemed a whole lot more logical to have more than 36 Shurikens drop per box (So 1 box = 1 item + a few spare to throw around. And if someone wants to get the outfit that's roughly 3 hours of content for them, more if they are an avid collector, not to mention the Daimyo box aswell). Cause at the end you're left with a pile of Completion tokens you can do nothing with cause you had to repeat the box 3-4 times to get 1 item.
I think people would have looked much more favorably on this content if "Re-playability" wasn't shoehorned in on it like this. The boxes are fun and I enjoyed them. But when you have to do around 12 just to get 1 item for each member of a 4 person team it turns into a grind.

It seems to me that Satiland is exclusively a place to go to farm those specific boxes, absolutely nothing more. Too bad there isn't anything else to do there.
I think the drop rates are somewhat bizarre to be honest. You get a token at the end of each box yet you have to complete the box 4-7 times to get enough shurikens for a trade. That means you will then have atleast 4 tokens, 3 of which are useless to you......
Cant we add an info trade to the vendor like on the patcher quest so we can trade these tokens in for something, or is there somethign else that they can be used for

Being able to explore all of the buildings is awesome, what the matrix should have been from launch.

And even if they cut down the mission areas, that would mean multiple people running missions in the same neighborhoods would run into all kinds of problems. And now that I'm close to getting a third 50, I can safely say there are plenty of keyboard-smashing errors as is.

Wonder why we can't have both. Like a key item that works on the nearest mission area and unlocks it, as if it is a mission.
Or have the mission system check an area it plans to use, if its empty, lock it down for exclusive use.

At level 50 the Ninjas have 800 T/V/B resistance. Yaay.

I'm getting a bit of a build up in Grandmaster tokens, since it takes about 4 boxes worth of shurikens to trade in for one clothing item. Perhaps there should be an option at the collector to trade in one of the tokens for an appropriate amount of shurikens?
Thats a point, this is another quest without an info/xp trade in option. What ever happened to that being the design philosophy moving forward? Now things are just plain inconsistant.

Honestly, I believe sati's needs some fixing. A level 30-40 could be right in the middle of a box, then any arse in the game can come in and steal your box kills if they're a 50, with hardly any effort. Point being: Honor code doesn't do jack here.
This is why you do boxes in the buildings that have underground rooms, where waypoint and target macros would still make it difficult to find you.

Eh?...
Made? How can they be made? Item cannot be decompiled...
Or is it just meant to be referring to the ninjas and not the shurikens?

Recursion is currently going through a Damiyo box at Debir Court. All that want to help are welcome.

As it is now, the box dissapeared ages ago, and we're currently on a lvl 97.
So we didn't finish it, too many people leaving and not enough gunners. But we'll be trying again soon.
What mood is the playground assistant standing in I wonder?
You're scaring me rare ;p...
PS: please make the drops at least worth it..they're a flat out downgrade atm...
