Duplicate Keys

So I just learned that not only is there a chance to not receive a trial key after sinking a bunch of time in to earning starts to open that 50 star chest, I also found out today that there's a chance the game will give you a key you already have. Which is what happened to me. I love this trials of gnomus thing, but what a slap in the face that was. I don't have the time that kids do to keep grinding to unlock secret characters in this game if this is how it's going to be. I understand wanting to get some longevity out of this dlc, but this is just ridiculous and frankly, makes me not want to play.

  • My initial question for you would be whether you are using the Trial Keys immediately after receiving them or if you are trying to store them to use later.

    The reason I ask is that you can only "hold" a single Trial Key at a time; if you haven't used the one that you already have by the time you open your next Red Chest the Key that you already have will be replaced by the next randomly awarded Key.

    This is the only circumstance that I'm aware of where you will receive a "duplicate" Key; because the Key of the same color which you were holding previously was dumped as the next Key was randomly selected as your prize; I've never heard of anyone using a Key to open one of the Trial Doors only to receive the same color Key again in the future, but it does happen to people who haven't used the Key that they received in a previous Chest.

    I used a yellow key last week and completed that trial. I was not holding any keys. When I opened the chest today, I received another yellow key : /
  • I've never heard of this happening to anyone before; have you tried approaching the other doors to the other Trials to see if any of the keyholes light up when you approach closely just on the off chance that maybe the wrong card was displayed?

    If you actually did receive a duplicate key then I'd probably suggest contacting customer support to see what they might be able to do for you, if anything.
