We've seen a lot of community discussion around opening Loot Boxes in 'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling.' After reviewing our data, we agree that there are improvements to be made. Today, we'd like to announce the next big feature and talk about what you can expect going forward when it comes to opening more loot boxes.
Currently, you are forced to dispose or collect each individual item in the game one at a time - a repeated activity that has become something of an addiction for many of you.
Effective immediately, we are activating a new system.
As a direct result of your feedback, you will see a new option available for free when you open your next Loot Box: "Sell All." This button will be something that we continue to monitor and review to ensure that this change meets our expectations and yours. Additionally we are introducing a "Prestige" option that will allow you to start fresh, available after you collect every item in the game. With this feature we are also introducing a new Leaderboard which will track how many times you have collected every item in the game. This should provide an avenue for hardcore players to pursue new End-Game scores and open up opportunity for collection Speed Runs.
Our team here at Mutant Entertainment is dedicated to your experience and will continue to listen and make updates to feed your insatiable not gambling habits. Any additional updates to this system, as well as other news about our studio's upcoming projects, will be communicated to you via our official channels which will be linking in the settings menu. Thank you for continued passion - we will aim to match that support stride for stride with transparency and generosity.
