as long as keys cost so much neither new or the old system is worth buying keys..
So i will only buy few keys on double drop events like this one we had this weekend. otherwise keys r just a waste of money dropping crappy drops not worth the key u spent to open the chest.
Which chest system do you like better?

OMG how is Pudding losing this vote??????????

I prefer the old way. The new way eliminates the standing around waiting for the first person to open it, but that isn't enough to overcome the old advantages of getting only one purple per eight keys given a good guild chest running group.

I chose chests drop different colors because it seems a little unfair to have someone open it first and then you get to see if it's a gold or not. Just seems like a cheap way out.

If the chests dropped 50/50 gold items maybe it'd be worth it, but ever since the update I havent gotten 1 gold. Pre-update gold chests seemed more common. And chests in elite areas should be guarenteed gold, esp FoW.... 1.5K per key when unid golds only sell for 1K... you need to wait and pray for the perfect req 8 shadow blade that will never come.

And IF you finally get one, you won't be getting profit, since you wasted 1000K on keys :P
Well, it's not that bad, but chest drops are rarely worth the keys. Unless you get stuff like ele swords, of course...
I voted for the old system. At least chest running was fun and useful then, now the whole team is stuck with 6 purples and maybe 1 gold :S
My Passion
Used to cr and make some change, but since new system I havn't bought any keys and I havn't cr'd. Kinda killed the fun of cring for me, especially when people get so uptight about who opens first; it's classic and now that is gone.
It was also fun to see people open a grape chest, when it had already been opened.

I haven't made any less money from this system than I did from the other system. It does also eliminate the fact that people sit there and argue over who opens first, people who go and never open any chest cause it could be purple, e-drama, and blah it's better if everyone has to open it. Just laugh at them when they get a purple and they'll laugh at you when you get one. As long as you get one rare per trip I don't see the problem.
Because all you need is that one drop, if you're running in the right place...to pay for all the keys you bought and then some. 50k on keys running in the right place...that special drop comes...100k+20e just like that.

No preference for me. Chests suck in general no matter what system they have. Dont waste your money on chests.

I put "I don't really have a preference". To be honest, I'd probably not like the system if it weren't for inscriptions/new mods, because now purples have a good use - good skins with changeable mods. Either way, I use to chest run solo, I still do, so it affects me not.
Now, when I'm out adventuring with my wife, yeah we would take advantage of the old system, but like I said, purples are alright, now. So, yeah, I'm indifferent.

I like the old system minus all the leechers. I'm fine with /roll 100 and if I land the lowest fine, I'll do it.
-.-
The old versions that didn't require keys. At. All.
Esprit
Not being a chest runner, I have gotten more golds with the random color chests, it seems the chances are more favorable for a non-chest runner like me.
lightblade
Many of the recent update of inclined to casual players. Random chest drop is one of them, since chest drops now are influenced by the mystic "Anti-farm/bot" code. Also the double rate weekends we get recently also helps the casual players since they play mostly on weekends.
cellardweller
Definitely the new system. It means I can run alone without having to think about the higher% of golds I would be getting if I jumped into a cr group.
LifeInfusion
Better for it to be random so that people won't keep chest running and actually do other things. Too bad they didn't instate this when they first had the keys.
That just means greater disparity between new and old players' gold %.
IMO they ought to up the drop rate for golds from chests now that it is random.

i prefer the new system because it effectively eliminates leechers in pug cr groups.

Yeah my whole guild was really upset when they changed it, we used to chest run all the time. We still do a bit but its not the same 
I tell you what though, if you don't have all that much gold to spend, getting your wisdom and TH titles got a LOT more expensive when they changed it. I'm not sure they really thought the change through all that well.

If it wasn't for pudding I would've voted for the chests dropping different colors.

I liek the new chest system better. Back in the days, during chest runs in raisu palace explorable, people would fight over who would open the chest first. One time, I had an incident where everyone just waited 30 minutes for someone to open the first chest. There's no more problems with that. Seriously, the only thing you'd hear would be
"I went inside first and took most of the damage, so you go open it." or
"I already opened it 3 times the first time. Its your turn"
now, there's really no more arguments.

I voted for the same colour like in factions.
But i understand that the change in Nightfall was made because of the improvement to the Salvage options upgrade in Nightfall where you are guaranteed the first mod of choice.
Hence the old system of similar color chest drops would infact flood the mod market and make prices plummet even lower if it was kept that way. Hence the change back to random was made in a sort of a way to control/limit the depreciation of prices of perfect mods to some extend.

Prefer the new system, as it should all be chance.

Old version
Though I use to run chests by myself it was still a better system overall.

The new system is superior IMO, since there is now no reason to leave a chest unopened. The whole "chest tester" concept annoyed me before, the new system means that if you've got a key, and an inclination to use it, then you should go right ahead

Pudding!
But otherwise, I prefer the newer system.

But seriously, i think they both have their ups and downs. Overall the new system is probably the most fair, though i'd like to see some better quality golds. Especially from the more expensive chests.

I dont buy keys anymore , dont use keys full stop , sick of getting nothing but purple cant rememer the last time i got anything gold , bring back the old system please
bebe
I like same color.
But with that it always came to. Who will be the brave one to unlock the chest to determine if it will be gold or purple, and if it is purple, sux2bu.

earning gold weaponry the way it is in the domain of anguish is imho the only way to go. I wish the same system would exist for other skins as well, while being not that extreme (or extremity based on skin).
Player could then "earn" their skin, instead of doing farming exploits, chestrunning and scam-trading in order to get them.

Old system.
And it goes without saying that any key which costs 1.5k should drop you a gold everytime, or refund your money

New system. Chest testing was a stupid feature to have in a random loot generator.
