Sort your game out

sickboy2808

So after already grinding Darkshade for far too long and on my second run tonight, your crappy game kicked us at final boss. Wht the heck is going on ZOS? Ive had just about as much as i can take with this grinding nonsense just for a V16 helm but then to kick us all at last boss and roll us back??? Sort this mess its already bad enough using a V12 helm and running the dung at least 40 more times for crap loot and rollbacks...

If you still have a vr12 helm then that means you've been "farming" for that helm for a year, sorry but I have my doubts. Some drop rates can be bad (100 Hours for spc set anyone) but you're almost guaranteed to get a monster helm in your first ~20 runs or so. On the other hand if you do it maybe once a week as part of the pledge that's 3 times per month (ish) so assuming you never skipped a day that's 36 runs in the last year.

I'm sure I am mistaken though and you're running multiple (4-5) times a night with a team dedicated to it ensuring your runs are under 30 minutes long.

OP Should think himself lucky, I'm still stuck with a v3 helm having done the dungeon a stupid amount of times and seeing guildies get several weights/traits on it, specially those guildies that don't intend to use it but these things happen I like the dungeon so happy to keep doing it now and then. Still after my first city of ash helm.

Do the drops change for runs under 30 min?

Humatiel

no, but 30 minutes allows for the most efficient runs possible for better scheduling of nightly run conditions.

How is this "general discussion"?

You just email them your complaint because I want to complain about the countless complaint threads im seeing on these forums every single day!

Funny thing is theyre all aimed with such hatred at Zenimax as if Zenimax is one person who solely lives to meet YOUR demands.

*sign* I hope zenimax staff dont take these forum complaints too seriously because 95% of the time they are just after a rage quit.

Shoulders bother me more than helms. Helms I can tgt and grind specific dungeons. Shoulders are pure RNG...and RNG in this game SUCKS.

sickboy2808

Its not just RNG, its them rolling us back as well. Its bad enough doing the same content over and over without them rolling back with no warning, or reason???

sickboy2808

And your welcome to have your doubts Humatiel but i usually run than dung at least 3 times when its Gold and few times when not if i see a group forming. Only ran it once last night though because of the rollback..

Humatiel

I had much the same sense when I was leveling through vet ranks, did Darkshade every time it came around on my temp hoping to get it, went from vr1 to vr16 and not a single helm drop. Raged for a bit but started doing the math on the count of runs and realized that I had done perhaps 200 runs without a helm drop, not an exceedingly high number by any count. After all these are supposed to be "rare" items.

I have the same kind of luck with the shoulders, played since BETA and was here when undaunted pledges came out, I average ~2 vet pledges / 2 nonvet pledges every day since then and have gotten exactly 1 Engine Guardian shoulders out of hundreds (potentially 1k+) keys.

Nothing to be done but play another game or try again, anything less is treating the symptom and not the disease so to speak.

Lol how on earth does it mean you've been farming for a year if you have a vr12 helm? He could have gone into the dungeon on a VR12 character last week and picked up the only helm he has?????

Not everyone as 8 VR16 characters so cut the boy some slack.....

I know I certainly don't have 8 vr16 characters, would be out of my mind to grind that many characters for no apparent reason. On the other hand I assumed that an individual that was on here raging as he was about vr12 helms would have been vr12 when they came out, which put it at a year or so. It's laughable to assume he just got a helm and then decided to complain now, would make his post so nonsensical that I would question if he was a troll.
