The chests could spawn in random or fixed locations on the map. They could be guarded by a huge hord or things that spawn after opening it.
Chests could also be unlocked with the key then guardians spawn kill them if you want your loot.
Save buying chests directly for micro transactions. With gold you can buy keys and potions.
So you want it to follow the D&D / Neverwinter model of farming for keys to have a chance at getting something random and possibly useless after clearing nearly an entire dungeon full of stuff. That would work if they enemies dropped gold and loot as well. With the way the game is set up now, making it so you have to farm loot to buy keys to farm loot it would break down rather swiftly. There's already issues dealing with the chance that the game kicks you out, imagine how pissed someone would be if they farmed to acquire a key and then finally get to a chest to have it crash before they get the loot.
It works in that particular game because you have multiple ways to acquire loot, gold and consumables; in DA gold or rwc are the only ways to acquire upgrades. It would throw a monkey wrench in it for anyone that wanted to start the game behind the power curve because people already purposely skip giant chunks of the mp maps and pots to skip through to the end.
What I'm saying is instead of taking the 1k-ish gold you normally get from clearing a level and buying some magic chest that literally falls out of thin air. You buy keys to chests. Like 250g easy, 500g med and 1000g hard. Then while playing and collecting gold "like normal" you seek out chests that are opened by the keys you just bought.
I could see how that might work. I was going to test it last night and the local internet crashed of course in the middle of windows updates -how does that happen? My guess windows updates flooded the internet and triggered a server crash. In any event, it seems ordained that I will never get multiplayer to work.
Like normal you wouldn't see your loot till the end of the match and at the same time you lose your key. So you would either win and get items losing a key or lose and lose no key.
