I hadn't made an Aakas run since the entire 'key not in the loot' fiasco, but just started up again. As I finished and started opening chests it occurred to me that I haven't seen a global or HOF related to Aakas flash across the board in a long time. Is it just me and I am missing them when they do occur? Have they been completely nerfed or so rare that I haven't seen one? Or does simply nobody run Aakas anymore due to said fiasco this past January? Anybody that has any insight into this occurence, it would be welcomed. Thanks!
Yeah they still come through but the people running them has reduced a bit. The problem is the returns are still around 70-80% regularly even with the key 'refunded' at the beginning. I think most people are doing them now just to farm a few arkoins for the smuggler version of the daily mission. At least that's why I am still doing a few. Sal'Diresh is much the same return though I do enjoy doing them more. Having said all that,it's so much better with the chests back as far as fun factor goes.
That is half the problem. In the chest based instances the key tt was always returned 100%. Now with out the key tt returns are even lower.
Well strictly speaking the key is still always returned 100% but its at the very beginning when you trade it for the mini key that actually allows entry into the vaults,The key TT is converted to Uni Ammo but yeah there is something still not right about the actual returns at the end..
