While this one is far into the jade rather than rose colour of corrective lenses…
The events were already a bit of a plan to just add more spice to the Exiled Lands. More to do, more of a living environ.
Neither drops nor BP were likely the initial goal, just variety.
That said, they are a touch on the unpolished side.
This one will try to take a picture next time scraps drop.
This one has definitely found keys for thrall cages. Which is more than a little sad, as there still aren’t rescue options in the Exiled Lands.
Are they from Blowback? I have yet to see that event. I’ve done Grave Matter, Snake Cult Caravan, Sacrifice Interrupted, and Portal to Yuggoth a dozen times each, but have never once seen Blowback.
Was it after launch or during testlive? I am not yet convinced Blowback actually exists on live.
This one is on a PlayStation.
However, it’s entirely possible that something borked or bugged. This one has had exactly 0 luck getting them again, despite having several of the events you mentioned in between…
They don’t have much other places to put them in, in the first place , the events are where they are because it’s already non building areas that wouldn’t impact already existing player structures . I’m not saying they can’t put new blockers , but a lot more people would come on the forums to complain , because puting non building zones impacts all gameplays style from solo to private servers ( even if the introduction of the “can build everywhere” server setting tend to ease this , it doesn’t solve all situations either )
