Maelstrom Arena needs a revision and rework.

So what you are asking is just a rework on the drop instead of the whole thing, why don’t you specify in title then?

Well i did start of pointing the performance flaws of the content, the photo is there to both point out that i’ve completed it and the RNG

The Argonian level is pretty seriously glitchy, if you ever end up having to bash the boss, because both mages died. You can survive, but the mages stop doing the shield at the appropriate time and that seems to carry into subsequent attempts, should you die. Sometimes that also fails for no discernible reason.

You complete vMA, you've probably already internalised half the bugs that can occur and are working around them as if they were intended mechanics. Aside from the weapon drop RNG that seems to affect some people badly (not me), I like vMA. I think it's one of the better parts of ESO. You get to the point you can do it, you kind of wish all overland content was at least like the first round.

Did you even read the post? and why would anybody clickbait here anyways? i doubt there’s any revenue tied to forum posts.

Gonna get this argument in first before anyone else does....


Do you remember the days before transmutation gems and you had to keep running it over and over again to get the right trait. You kids these days have it so easy...shame on you.

That is what irritates me the most elitist supporting poor design
Compare this vMA with any trial where you have 12 people or arena 4 people? most important you're playing with people / friends besides there are games 1000x better for solo content and it should have been for fun not a grindy fest and running a thing over and over again thanks to *** rng becomes grind

yea I've flawless conqueror on several of my toons and don't like to back up flawed design content.

Doesn't like flawed content; yet has played the content enough to get the best title for it. Seems legit.

So people who can't run on it can't comment on it being overly RNG sometimes because they just need to l2p. And someone who is a flawless conqueror can't comment on it because they play too well, so obviously that means it's fine.

Does that mean that I can comment on it, as someone who has almost got flawless on 5 separate occasions only for a bug or stroke of bad rng to deny me?

Because I agree with him. RNG in there is bad.

They should move the last reward chest at the quest giver, so when you return, you could open one of two chests, like Undaunted chests were, so you have magicka gear chest and stamina gear chest, or an other idea, pick between a key that open the chest (same like current reward chest) or a token. With X amount of tokens you can get a random trait specific weapon.

What we need is a new solo arena tbh

MyPrist

Hands away from vMA, it is perfect ! Yes some bugs, but the same fo al dunguans!!!

Want greate arena? Better add new one.

Stop destroy old content that was good, you can not do anything batter !

Last 2 updates show that !

Since I managed to complete vMA (a total noob in DD who came fron tanking) after 1 week of creating my first DD character, then the arena is perfectly doable.

What I 100% agree with you is the RNG in stage 7 and the ridiculous RNG in rewards. I know people who have done vMA 50+ times and still cant get the inferno staff.

For such a difficult arena, the rng should be more rewarding. Right now, its pure cancer.

I think I got lucky in vMA. First time, I got an inferno staff.

HappyLittleTree

Yeah i agree maelstrom arena has become way to easy even with new "testbuilds" it's quite easy to get a flawless nowadays.

The sets and cp game is way too strong. they'd need to add another tier of difficulty to keep up with the changes.

The best arena design I've seen so far is digestruct peak in Borderlands 2 , all the minibosses you fight in are present in open world are tougher and have increased drop rates for their specific legandaries besides can always be adjusted for the amount of players whether be it solo or 4 person only complain their is unavailability of checkpoints but then again mobs attack don't go through wall to hit ya

Why rework?
It's just RNG.
You are bad luck for that time, try another time.

idk

vMA itself is fine. I can only think of one arena where RNG gets me sometimes.

Server performance is abysmal and as we all know has gotten worse. It should be considered an embarrassment. It is time for Mr. Altman to take notice of the issues we have been facing since they are only getting worse.

because it’s not just about RNG is also about performance, which i did mention if you read the post
