Re: Removing Map Based Leads?

16 West Weald Treasure Maps yielded 3 furnishing leads:
Two green and one purple, which literally drops from anything and everything.
The West Weald maps were leftovers from when I had originally completed the zone codices. They were collected after digging up treasure from other stray zone maps.
Me and at least one housing friend really wanted to unlock the Colovian Tapestry, Worn – until we realized that was impossible over a year ago.
That person was an amazing builder, but Idk if they are even playing anymore or entirely moved on to other games, and from what they've told me, it's in part due to the Map/Antiquities grind. They're not the only one and it bums me out.
Some might argue that just a handful of people won't matter to a big company, but some of those "just a handful" were community members whose builds inspire many others – and even nudge us buy Crown houses we weren't previously interested in, only because they sparked something for us. FWIW, in case anyone with a say in these things is reading.

Re: Some Lead drops are so broken. Why is it like this? (Moons Blessed Pool, Apocryphal Well + more)
Agreed. Drop chances should be the same for all leads necessary to complete the codex entry, and with the ever increasing size of the lead pool they really need to be curated.
ETA drop chance for leads locked behind treasure map chests should also be increased - there shouldn't be a double RNG penalty involved.

2026. and nothing changed.
What is the point of prolonged expiration lead time in U49 when you can't get them at all?
30 or 180 days doesn't matter when you can't get a lead.
.
I never encountered any other lead for mythical to be so bad like that one.
This is truly mythical item as it doesn't exists.
My hope is that one day it will show up at one weekly vendor.
P. S.
The only good thing about Vile Manse is when is empty of other players you can farm Colovians who leave a lot of gold behind them so at least you can fast farm gold.

I tried so many times to get this lead, the last missing part, opened probably 100+ treasure chests, still nothingI can not get the lead for Moras whispers in Treasure Chests inside the Vile Manse Public Dungeon. Running it over and over. It’s like dead man’s hallow all over again. What a nightmare that lead was.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
Furnishings leads should be a one and done (or for multipart items like crafting stations one complete and done.) Then you can buy subsequent Furnishings at the achievement vendor. No one is getting OP because they bought 10 Colovian tapestries.

Re: companions need to be adjusted (challenge difficulty)
The whole point of challenge mode is to go in yourself solo lol. Isn't this like how some people hate summons in dark souls cos it makes the game too easy? Just DON'T USE IT THEN.
First they want their own instance and now this. ridiculous.

Re: companions need to be adjusted (challenge difficulty)
Um, if you want a challenge, WHY are you even using companions?
Companions are used to gain 33% dmg mitigation via Pearlescent. This helps a lot on the most hard-hitting encounters in the game.
Tbh I don't really understand your take - "If you want a challenge, then don't use this". It's a bad challenge if you must restrict yourself. Kinda what folks in the overland thread were suggesting all these years.
Companions on vestige now hardly die (depends on the boss) while naked. This same boss might take most of your hp while you're at resists cap + a bunch of mitigation sources with just a basic attack. If vestige is about difficulty, I see no reason why companions are even allowed to be this strong.

This, and the vast majority of players will never hit numbers that high, so posting a top tier DPS as an example of "nonsense" is a pretty skewed viewpoint.
A better question to ask is, how high will ZOS allow damage to go and for what purpose? Is it to make raids easier for casuals or...? What's the point with all this power creep? Personally, I don't care because it makes trials more accessible for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to clear vets, but I do wonder just how high ZOS is going to let damage go or is there going to be a rug pull like always and the nerf hammer drops.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Take all the help you can get. My posts were directed at the PvP duelers who understand CMX and the meta. I don't want to see WW or Class Mastery nerfed. Meanwhile we've been screaming at the devs to do something about proc sets like Relequen for years.I appreciate the real duels but this is just a sliver of the issue I have with the 'nerf-callers'
Attempt at short explanation so as not to derail: information you don't see basically cancels out, you're left with 1 mostly optimal StamSorc vs 1 mostly optimal WW, both piloted reasonably well. About as evenly matched as we're gonna get in a game with a zillion variables.
Duels between high damage pressure DDs are typically short. Whoever gets the upper hand first is gonna win. You don't see 8k sustained because the opponent dies too fast. To get that you need an artifical controlled environment like Hoang having someone parse on his PvP tank.
TL;DR don't nerf WW, don't nerf Class Mastery, but do nerf Relequen in PvP.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
Coming from someone who spent upwards of 18 hours straight picking flowers in Shadowfen to get the Tide-Glass Beads for the Harpooner's Wading Kilt I personally think the drop rate on leads is fine. Most of them you get rather quickly (some would argue, too quickly). Don't take this the wrong way OP, but I don't see why a change to the drop chance is necessary because someone is having an issue getting their 3rd one to drop... If anything, overworld could use even more extremely rare items, rather via leads or not, to give people a reason to hang out in various zones more. Outside of a few very rare furniture items in just a couple zones, there really isn't anything to put a bunch of long-term farming into.
Mythics are nothing compared to antiquity furnishings. Their RNG is much more favourable than those for furnishings, and I've never spent more than a week farming for a Mythic. Also one never needs multiple copies of a mythic, unlike furnishings.
I fail to see why housing enthusiasts should be discriminated against in this game. Why should we be the ones burdened with impossible-to-obtain items? Our time is no less valuable than others'.
