Just want to clear up a few points.
Starting with this update, there will be gameplay methods to acquire loot boxes. You will be granted some as you reach certain milestones(leveling a character, for example) and over time we will be adding more ways to earn them.
In the current boxes, all 12 costumes are in the rarest tier of items. We have changed that to spread the majority of them down in to more common tiers so you will be seeing them more than you have before. However, dupe values of essence are not all the same now, lower rarity costumes will grant less essence since you will be getting them more often.
The Marvelous loot box will be getting revisions about every 2 months or so, and there will almost always be a second "rotating" thematic loot box that we are planning to change every few weeks. The net result is far more costumes available over time. All boxes will use the same currency, so if you have essence stockpiled, you can get newly released costumes day one from the vendor. We are also working to allow the purchase of costumes straight from the roster and store with dust, so you can bypass the vendor if you so choose.
My #1 focus right now is to make these boxes feel awesome to players. I am 100% committed to reading and considering feedback from you all. We have some new tech in the works for costumes to make them even cooler that I can't wait to share with you.
