That could actually be pretty neat. Or I'd support giving better rewards for higher difficulty chests and increasing the probability of finding those chests in the world. Right now, I feel like I only find simple locks.

yeah something needs to happen...especially at VR levels. I'm getting to the point where I just delete all lockpicks except like 5...and am now skipping simple chests in VR zones.

What about all us ageing, slow reflex dinosaur gamers who have the shakes from too many late nights raiding and poor eyesight from sitting to the warm, glowing glowing warmth of our monitors and borderline arthritis from one too many mouse clicks.

Everyone forgets us old timers.

I'm not sure about this. Are the chests level specific to the zone or do we have a hidden lock picking skill? My reason for asking is that sometimes early on you find a chest that is Impossible, won't even let you try. But especially in places that have little traffic, at odd times, I have run around grabbing a few more chests and come back to the impossible one and find it says master. There have also been instances, at least in early access, where someone would announce an impossible chest, and offer it up to someone else that may be able to open it. The few I got said advanced or master, while it still said impossible to the original finder.

Thus, making those chests have a bonus if you open it faster penalizes players that have opened a lot of chests in a backwards sort of way. I know I do tend to get more from the higher level chests than I do the simple ones, so I think there is an internal item level / reward mechanism in place. The ones that I don't get over a page of loot from generally have something nice like a treasure map.

Speaking of chests ...did the master difficult chests dissapear? Havent found one of those in a long time ...all I found is the regular difficult ones.
