Undaunted set drops. Rage

Hi, really starting to get frustrated with the lack of shoulder drops in the undaunted chests after completing gold/silver. I have been running them twice a day on two characters for months and all I get is a load of *** at the end of it. The good thing about the helms is I can farm the dungeons all day until I get the helm I require but I can't open chests all day(at least increase the drop rate). Thinking about cancelling my ESO plus membership as I feel like i'm wasting my time plus the lag in the game especially in pvp is horrendous, nearly unplayable

    So... you complaining about drop rates or lag ?
    both? Okay, RNG explains the drop rates, iand teh lag (when it's server side, of course) happens when there's too much stuff going on, just avoid zerg fights and you're good

    Agreed.

    The crap shoulders I don't need I got several times.
    The one shoulder I need (engine guardian) I didn't get in months.

    I am starting to hate undaunted pledges for the daily gold/silver key frustration.

    RNG is b*sh!t. Its a bit funny how I it wont 'random drop' the piece I need but it will random drop duplicates apon duplicates of ones dont need. At least get something in the game where u can trade the undaunted sets

    That's pretty much what RNG is.
    And those Undaunted sets will be available eventually trough a NPC vendor that will charge horrific amounts of gold and AP for them. Also, it'll be RANDOM as to wich sets will be available ;3

    After handing in around 50 gold keys when IC was released and doing another 50+silver and gold daillies and not getting one kena shoulders I gave up with trying to get it. 10 Lord Warden's Shoulders but not a single Kena. Pathetic RNG.

    20 or so Valkyn Skoria shoulders. Only done dungeon once.

    20 or so Maw shoulders and helms. Never equipped one.

    About 10 Mephala shoulders, 1 VR12 helm.

    5 well fitted Kena and Impen Lord Warden shoulders, never done dungeons nor will I ever.

    Bogdan, Nerien'eth and others, had loads but no decent traits.

    Malubeth, got good shoulders but no helm.

    1 VR12 Bloodspawn helm and recently VR16 shoulders, almost cried. Both reinforced, happy with that.

    Recently got Engine Guardian light helm in reinforced, had to leave TS, went outside, came back in and checked to see if it was still in inventory. I go to my bank everyday just to look at it. 2 years is coming up, I'd like shoulders soon.

    The RNG works in truly mysterious ways. I have done 200+ pledges to get V16. Kena and Nerien'eth. Then Kena started to drop and I got 4 in 3 weeks, one of them from silver.. Still trying to get Nerien'eth but no luck.

    I feel so sorry for you >.< I never wanted engine guardian, but I have deconstructed at least a full page of those heads, because it used to drop a lot for me.

    I want infused heavy Kena helmet, and I keep getting divines, reinforced and well fitted. :(

    You can't beat the RNG, don't even try.

    Think of the rage you will have when the new vendors in pvp come with dungeon gear you can buy with gold and AP?

    Or when they eventually make the best gear easy to get and new gear hard when the new DLC drops?

    Just don't even bother to grind through RNG, never works. Just do what you enjoy in the game and if you get what you are looking for great, if not oh well move on to something else and come back later when you feel like doing that content again.

    Trying to push through RNG with repetition and grinding over and over never works.

    I just noticed that one of my characters was still sitting on the bronze key she got from the initial Undaunted Enclave invitation mini-quest. Turned it in, and was surprised to get a mercenary motif chapter from the chest. I had no idea those chapters dropped from the bronze chest too... I figured the bronze chest was just always vendor/decon trash.

    It feels to me like the Mercenary motifs have taken the same loot spot on the rng table as shoulders, hence the lower drop rate now, as they're competing with double the amount of items possible.

    Well, my RNG is normally horrible, but last night I did my first ever vWGT run..............got a medium impen helm....

    Sadly I wasn't after the helm, but the SPC gear. Got a wonderful well-fitted shoulder from that though.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    Remember getting Molag Kena shoulders in heavy divines the first day of IC release (spent 12 keys that I had saved) and last week I got Bloodspawn Helm in Infused medium after 5 runs of Spindleclutch. That has been the extent of my luck in this game and I try run the pledge every day.

    I wouldnt mind the drop rate If the non shoulder drops were better.

    Would be nice to get another source of upgrade materials. just saying, no ones going to cry if they get dreughwax, tempers or rosin instead of the shoulder they want. Just saying.

    just keep plugging away till they bring in the vendor. it'll come.
