Leader board rewards are atrocious, sturdy vr16 yellow gear anyone?

silky_soft · October 2015

The Leader Board rewards and Rewards for the Worthy from PvP are not only atrocious but insulting to the entire ESO community. All of us got junk, the sets from it are junk, the traits from it are junk. There is no vr16 master weapon and no vr16 yellow IC accessories. There is sturdy, there is training traits. Why should we pvp if there is no progression for us? What's the incentive for other people to PvP so that hardcores have someone new to fight? All that is left is to PvP for the hell of it with low respawn to fight times, which is nice. You should rename Imperial City DLC to Black Ops DLC or add it to the BF4 DLC.

So first off you consolidated the tons of mail we were getting from Rewards for the Worthy. We thought awesome no more opening and clearing mail for 10 mins before you log off. We were so wrong this wasn't to help us, this was actually to inhibit us from grinding vr15/16 mats quickly. Imagine how much faster it would of been with all that loot we were getting from PvP. There would be no need to run through the sewers of IC to collect mats to trade.

Next you said there was going to be some of the PvP vendor gear in these rewards. We had some problems on PTS where we were getting green set pieces. We were worried we would get a green vr16 Cryo Light or a green Ravager accessory. So you fixed this but still wouldn't release a list of the possible sets. We soon realised that it was about 1/3200 chance of getting a set piece with a trait we wanted. Also that any gear that had accessories would not be included in this drop table. Again to force us to use the new accessory sets obtainable from IC. Don't forget some genius made these BoP on the PTS till we got some movement to get that changed. We understand now Rewards for the Worthy are just a waste of time RNG to get Arch Mage divines.

So now that Azura has finished we got to see what the end of campaign rolls were for the top 2%.

No one got master weapons.
No one got new vr16 accessories.
No one got the PvP sets missing from Rewards for the Worthy.
We got sturdy.
We got training.
We got well fitted.
We got 5 wall repair kits.
We got 1 armor repair kit.

You know what I'll get when I decon my 5 pieces of trash gear with my sturdy traits? A CHANCE at getting yellow crafting mats and ONE, yeop just ONE vr16 crafting material. Some pieces cost 150 materials to make, but you'll get 0.6% of those materials it cost to craft back if you decon a vr16.

What you can do to fix it:

Compensate us with a reroll on these end of campaign rewards.
Give us a shot at vr16 master weapons.
Give us a shot at the new vr16 accessories.
Give us a shot at the missing PvP sets, accessories included. Don't be cheap, this would only be for the top 2%, scale them.
Remove training, sturdy, exploration, well fitted armor traits.
Add nirnhoned to the mix.
Scale the repair kits by either your rank or by how much AP you have acquired. Every 500ap would be sufficient.
Add siege to the mix.

I don't PvE, but I have heard they have a leader board for something. I am guessing they got screwed over too.

The reason no one got master weapons is because they don't scale to vet16. If you were vet14 you would have got better gear... How *** is that.?

One of my biggest issues with the game and why I left...

PBpsy · October 2015

The DLCs was a great success apparently. It is quite amazing how thoroughly they managed to achieve their goal of pissing off each and every type of player.

SleepyTroll · October 2015

I wonder what ZOS is actually trying to accomplish and what direction is this ship heading? Pvp update yet most pvpers are more mad then ever.

Vangy · October 2015

I'm kinda new to eso with around 6 months. I like to pve and pvp as well. But everytime I pvp for a few hours in ic and think about what I accomplished at the end of the day... I pretty much have nth to show for it lol. Some tv and some worthless Ap and mail full of nonsense gear. I can only imagine what hardcore exclusive pvpers must feel like... Also this makes me pvp less even though it's fun cos I don't get any progress from it.

Not saying that pvping shouldnt be rewarded properly. But pvping you do because its fun? Having fun is why i game in the first place ... Quiting because rewards are not what you expected sounds rather ... something a spoiled brat would do.

Notice I never used the word quit. I said "less" which implies I still do pvp for fun. That doesn't change the fact that I would like more rewards.... Putting words into people's mouth and snipping quotes to suit your own point of view is like.... something a.... Ah nvm.

Give randomly for the first 2% :

- 1 ring of wisdom / agility / endurance, with the good trait = ~100k gold
- 1 coldharbor balista / 1 coldharbor trebuchet / 1 coldharbor fire balista / 1 coldharbor fire trebuchet / 20 stones repair kit / 20 wood repair kit = ~ 10k gold
- 1 GOLD armor part of "Rewards for the Worthy" with infused / divine / reinforced / nirnhoned trait = 400/600k+
- 200 silk = ~150k gold
- 200 ingots = ~150k gold
- 200 leather = ~150k gold
- 200 wood = ~150k gold

All thoses rewards are ~100-400k gold, as master weapons could be if they didn't bound. don't forget that a gold ring of healer was in the rewards before and it cost was ~600k gold.

Farming is over, majority are now stuffed, 2nd sets are in progress, stop farm.. start think entertainment for your gamers ...

For 7 days campaign, just give less mats (50). Give random traits on rings. Give armor part in purple.

To be in the first 2% we new a *** awesome reward..

Azura Star is 30 day long, if I where PvEing without be in any leaderboards instead of trying to be in top 2%, I could get 500k gold only to sell items to merchant meanwhile

If there is nothing, players won't care of leaderboard and will just add this to their "why I left game" list.

Yeah, we have one for trials and DSA. They don't scale to V16 (gear is either V12 or V14), so almost nobody does them since IC dropped. Best sets (V16) now drop from the 2 new dungeons...

Septimus_Magna · October 2015

3 Arch-Mage pieces and the best trait is Well-Fitted..
Elf Bane with Divines trait but its a shoulder piece (ie useless bc monster sets).

Saltypretzels · October 2015

All quest rewards in this game flat out SUCK. And have since launch.

Sensesfail13 · October 2015

lol I was second in chillrend with 18 hours left in campaign when they released IC and I got 1 reward for a 2 week campaign, entered a ticket, no response other than the generic "check our support forum" BS and the reward I received wasnt even a master weapon or something comparable from the last patch reward list it was an impenetrable belt of the juggernaut vr14.

Because like 99.999999999% of people who post that are still usually playing the game. It's usually a weak attempt at sounding overly dramatic. I can only assume they're hoping someone from ZoS will enter into the discussion and say "OMFG, [insert forum name here] is claiming he no longer plays the game due to [insert overly dramatic reason here], so lets cater to his every desire."

Beesting · October 2015

I am playing on haderus 7 days eu pc and 2 nights ago i got an email with vr16 arch mage robes infused trait in it as a reward for the worthy

It was nice because i had just wasted 12 k tv stones on imperial reward boxes that gave me useless head and shoulders

shame the arch mage set 5 piece bonus was nerfed, otherwise it would have been awesome rng

As far as PVE rewards go : i don't even want to run the vet WGT because of the low droprate. I spent a whole day in there last sunday and got 0 set pieces...

bertenburnyb16_ESO · October 2015

I got a purple V1 set item as end of campain reward for my v16 char...
submitted ticket.... no response

nice......

Sausage · October 2015

Maybe they should go with upgradeable gears. I keep hoping then they remove VRs, they change how gears works. I thikn upgradeable gears is better, every update or expansion they could add new upgrade, and do it like old school style, like sword +1, sword +2 or heavy armor +4.

Rewards are huge problem, players already whine about RNG how long it takes, thats it basically, players want OP stuff for 1 week's work or if takes 1 month to get, they whine it takes too long.

Maybe players like gear-upgrades with dismissing returns like CP is. Basic gear is easy to get, +1 2 week, +2 2 month, +3 6 month etc.

silky_soft · October 2015

They could even go the way of GW2 and give us a ticket/trophy to take to our Grand Warlord in exchange for gear. If they want to keep the RNG troll have different chest for certain sets. Like what is already in IC, RNG the traits not the gear.

Moonshadow66 · October 2015

I'm a PvE player.. no PvP, no IC DLC. Do I have to continue about the rewards I get for anything I do?
Green trash, VR10 max. That's all.
I guess I'm not considered "worthy".

Well, at least you are now dandruff free

Shadesofkin · October 2015

The entire thing needs to have the scales fixed desperately. Trials, PvP, all of it is still stuck at VR14 and that needs to be fixed.

Makkir · October 2015

In all seriousness I absolutely agree with the OP. Two things need to happen asap

a) Beef up the rewards, and add variety (siege, consumables, etc)
b) Add AP V16 bags

@ZOS_BrianWheeler C'mon Wheelz throw us a bone here

WTT

for good pvp rewards!

timidobserver · October 2015

You don't need to buy imperial city to get pvp rewards, thus the loot is and will continue to be garbage.

Teiji · October 2015

Sounds like you're all awfully inconvenienced.

Fortunately we have a place in-game designed to provide convenience items, it's under constant development so it wont be tomorrow but expect more intricate convenience items soon.

Game has been in development for years and years and traits have only been acknowledged to be a problem by Rich with Imperial City. Lorkhan only knows what everyone was doing before he got the reigns.
