While this is a step in a better direction, there are some problems with the current implementation.
TL;DR - 'Duty of Care' does not actually provide a choice, despite aiming to, in a high percentage of keys.
I bought some keys and decided to try it out. These are the problems I noticed:
1. There is actually very rarely a choice despite giving me three options (i.e. There is often / always a "right choice"
-- For example a combination that regularly comes up is: Small Fallen Star (Skill A), Small Prismatic Fallen Star, Small XP Lamp (Skill A).
Obviously in this case the "right" choice is the Small Prismatic Fallen Star, since it gives the same XP as the first option, but more choice, and more xp than option 3.
This combination is *extremely common* -- I suggest making the skill specific Fallen Stars grant slightly (x1.1-1.25) more XP than the general Prismatic ones, either by reducing the Prismatics XP or increasing the specific stars reward.
An example of a better choice selection (quite rare) is - Large Bubbling Lamp, Large Fallen Star (Attack) & Small Combat Dummy Training Crate. Allowing me to choose between XP now, bonus XP dependent upon my level now, or XP at a later date of my choosing (potentially saving for DXP or a higher level)
2. Interface does not make it clear to players who are expected to make a choice, how much XP each type of lamp, star, etc. will give them -- How am I to choose between the five or six kinds of lamp? They don't all explain exactly what they do very well.
3. I cannot see where to use my hearts of ice with the current event. Is this a Duty of Care change or just part of the Loot Duels thing?
