Campaign Rewards for TG Patch - Trash as usual..

Crown

So apparently it's *POSSIBLE* to get gold jewellery, but as usual the RNG rules make the likelihood of getting them craptacular - like the stuff that you actually get.

If you want gold jewlery, you'd be better served by spending your time farming gold in PvE, then buying it from someone who is favoured by the RNG gods/daedra/gremlins.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Why do we even try for top 2% of leader board? For up to 5 gold upgrade mats (probably only 3-4 due to chance when deconstructing) I could farm mats in PvE for a few minutes. This is something we discussed at EVERY SINGLE meeting that EVERY SINGLE guild that PvPs had with you guys FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. I'm not going to rant about this again. I'm just so disappointed in how far the PvP component of this game has fallen..

Ishammael

Wow... Those rewards are ***.

Ghost-Shot

@Wrobel care to comment? Do you think those are reasonable rewards for maintaining a spot in the top 2% of a 30 day server?

FatKidHatchets

Personally I am just glad to see special rewards that can be gotten for being top 2 % even if RNG screws you.

Now if we'd reward top players and winning teams better. Because right now it feels folks care less about winning and more about trolling.

Lava_Croft

No surprise there, @Crown. If there's one thing consistent about ZOS, it's their disregard for the much touted PvP part of ESO.

Waseem

wow they are so bad
cant wait to feel bad myself too
but they are BoE not BoP !

Elong

It's a joke.

I believe if Master weapons were appropriate 2% rewards prior to 2.1, then Maelstrom weapons are appropriate 2% rewards now.

IMO, the only reason Maelstrom weapons are not offered as PVP rewards is to encourage players to sub/purchase Orsinium for vMA.

@Wrobel @ZOS_BrianWheeler - if the above is true, perhaps a compromise would be to include Maelstrom weapons as 2% end of campaign rewards for players who meet one or both of the following conditions:

1. Subbed or own Orsinium DLC
2. Completed vMA

Teridaxus

Well atleast its not a golden marksman axe.

I'm hoping for a fury resto staff, the rage will be epic.

Waseem

then again, there will always be that friend who will get couple vicious death necklaces and a marksman ring

Astanphaeus

A precise restoration staff of transmutation is actually good.

Scamandros

Probably the 0.1% of lucky ones, but every week of Haderus I have received gold jewelry (except this week where I didnt pvp at all). I then run into a couple other people with similar experiences and assumed drop rates all round were good. Apparently not

@Astanphaeus It may be an item that people will use, though it comes in reward mails regularly and there are about 20 available in the shops that can be upgraded to gold yourself. Jewellery can not be upgraded. The point of being a reward for 2% is that you can't otherwise get it...

I wish they would make it jewelry only for end of campaign rewards, everything else they can send you is so easily obtainable otherwise.

No. Farm em like the rest of us. VMA and DSA are not parallels, and for as hard as VMA was to learn and clear at first, id not be ok with some zergling AP farmers getting access to the same rewards for spamming aoes in 24 man ball groups for a month straight. That not fair at all. A better alternative would be to just upgrade master weapons to v16 already, or introduce the third set of master weapons that can be earned in both PvP and PvE group content. But if you want maelstrom weapons, run VMA.

Elong

Don't want to rub it in, but I got 2 VD necklaces in one end of camp reward mail from Azuras and only finished 60th in my faction.

Sorry Crown x

Kartalin

I only got purple rewards for spending the last five days or so homed on Azura's, but 6 of my 10 rewards were jewelry (2 Necklaces of transmutations, 2 rings of fury, 1 marksman ring, 1 ring of fasalla's guile) and also got a sharpened VD flame destro. Not too bad this time.

RNG is a harsh mistress though. My normal RftW are like Marksman resto, VD defending battle axe, etc, so this makes up for it a bit.

I agree. Farm them like the rest of us. So tired of you complaining about not winning the fight againts RNG.

as someone who runs in large pvp groups and hasn't even bothered with VMA i can say that if i got a Gold Maelstrom weapon for rewards at the end of campaign i would be excited but know that i didnt really earn it.

this game already caters to casuals enough as it is by giving Assault and Support ranks 10 from only a few hours of pvp

Crown

@allen-iverson I have no need for Maelstrom weapons, and don't really care about them, though consider that PvP players MUST go spent hours upon hours farming PvE content in order to get them, while PvE players can spend an hour or two farming PvE mats, sell them, then buy *ANYTHING* that they want of PvP gear. The game caters to PvE players, and spits in the eye of PvP. No use complaining, that's just how it is, and with the lack of response from anyone at ZOS, we can only assume that they don't care about PvP and only put in the minimal effort to keep new and casual players content. Reason number 82 that almost all of the older and better PvP players have left the game.

Then how about we make everything pvp related bop so if there's any good gear to be obtained from there PVErs have to come to our turf to get it line the rest if us...seriously enough with the "oh just do it like the rest of us did" bs...a large portion of the pvp community can't stand the mindless repetativeness that is pve, but need to do it in order to obtain gear...so if we have to go to care bear land to get gear, PVErs should step into cyrodill to get gear as well (obviously there isn't any good pve gear obtained in pvp now but back when ravager, morag tong, shadow walker were BiS all PVErs had to do to get the sets was throw gold at pvpers).

That or make all sets obtainable through both pvp and pve

@GRxKnight

I only PvE to get PvP gear. First of all, let me just say Maelstorm arena is most definitely not care bear land. No one says you have to to do anything, you can make highly competetive PvP builds without running maelstrom. But those of us who wanted the best possible builds had to put up with that *** arena on our own for hours on end to get the gear we needed. To just hand that out for farming AP is not fair. I realize my initial post might have come off a bit passive aggressive, so let me be clear. I recognize and respect large group play is something people enjoy for lots of reasons, and that lots of really good players play in larger groups. My point was, just as in DSA you could be carried by your group to clear, in PvP you can be...and most zerglings are...carried by their groups to get AP. VMA is unique in that its a solo trial and is the antithesis of being carried. Thats why, just for this one instance, I'm opposed to accessibility. In every other case, I totally support getting equal rewards for equal effort regardless of what you're into.

Docmandu

RNGJesus must not like you very much.. quite a few Leki's / Fasalla's / Vicious necklaces / rings distributed on EU. Maybe it's only for non-CP Azura players

DisgracefulMind

I got 1 Fasalla's Guile gold neck, 1 gold Fury ring, 1 gold Vicious Death neck, and 2 gold Vicious Death rings.

I think you just got unlucky.

I get that you shouldn't just be handed something on the sole purpose of thinking that you're entitled to it or something along those lines, but for what the people in the top 2% of AP rewards do to get there (and not all of them are zergers or make their AP when running in the zerg (Crown makes a large % of his AP running solo/small man)) to get garbage gear or not even a chance at Maelstrom/Master weapons is a bit silly. There used to be a time when PvP'ers had the chance of getting a master weapon just by being in the top 2% (or was it top 10 per alliance I can't remember). I can see why ZOS wouldn't want to do that as it would be a way for those who didn't buy the Orsinium DLC or are not subbed to get something specific to that DLC (figures with them) so that's not where I was coming from.

I'm just tired of hearing the same counter statement to these types of threads or positions of "go and grind mindless PvE" when the PvE community since the beginning has had the availability of buying the BiS PvP gear from PvP'ers who would much rather spend their time doing what they enjoy (killing people in cyrodill) than running around Craglorn/Hew's Bane farming mats and selling them

leepalmer95

DLC dropped on the 23rd for ps4, on the 24th the Thornblade campaign ended

I got a gold transmutation necklace, which i'm still trying to sell xD

Master_Kas

I stopped playing Azura when it went no cp campaign. Luckily elite are not the best AP farmers so I got into the top 2%

DignifiedMouse

ku5h

Well we got our rewards today in Azura PC EU, and i got 2 gold jewelry( ring and neck of transmutation ) and in other mail i got 3 purple jewels (2 lekis rings and 1 more dont remember). At first i thought i was extremely lucky geting 2 jewels, but then spam in zone chat begun: VD rings/amulets, marksmen, leki, and on and on. Since 11am till 1pm constant zone spam ppl selling their golden jewelery, some ppl selling up to 3 of them. Remember 1 guy wanted to sell 2 VD rings and VD amulet, all gold.
