Wow. That is lame. Even normal DSA dropped Master weapons at VR13 from final chest as opposed to VR14 for veteran DSA. So normal Maelstrom is supposed to be so easy even casuals will find it boring and it has no rewards (not even mediocre non-BiS rewards), while veteran Maelstrom is supposed to be so hard about 90% of player base will have no interest in it. Poor design.3 -
fastolfv_ESO✭✭✭✭✭i would call that challenging content if most of the playerbase couldnt complete it. It will take skill, practice, and some good luck with rng to get that item you want from maelstrom and it will be hard earned, not just given away to everyone like normal rewards would be atm0 -

On top of that MA weapons have semi random traits. Meaning that they will drop with infused, powered and weighted about 80% of the time.Only vet and only from the very last boss.
At least that is what the trait ratio is for the new character weapon sacks is on the PTS.. If this is the same ratio you would need about about 20 drops of the particular weapon you need to have a decent chance to get something that is sharpened or precise in the best case. The grind is going to be real.
I call it pointless content that is going to chase even more of the population away. I say that even though I kind of enjoy the current difficulty of the PTS.fastolfv_ESO wrote: »i would call that challenging content if most of the playerbase couldnt complete it.

Yeah maybe ZOS should have made the normal mode drop vet152 -
It only drops in veteran.. But not only on vr16!
I just completed it on my VR2 Dragonknight.
Got the restoration staff!

VMA weapons come in 3 traits: Defending, precise and sharpened. I personally have a pretty even distribution between Defending and Precise, with less sharpened. Yes they only come from last boss (at a pretty terrible drop rate) or from the weekly. People have been complaining for 5 months.

✭✭✭✭✭I can't believe VMSA is two years old.
I also can't believe you double necro'ed this thread.
I guess wait a year and go for a triple play?0 -

✭Haha i played my part in this thread. 3rd necro is for someone else!
Got a thought since they are thinking to adding some of the new stuffs to normal mode dungeons with a lesser amount/chance than vet modes, so maelstorm weapons might get the same treatment.
Or even, they might have done it already.. Hence the necro.Welkynd [Templar/AD/EU]0
