Molag Kena Helm Being Sold!

svartorn

I haven't killed Kena 50+ times. I said I had well over 100+ Engine Guardian kills with no helms.

ZOS can't code RNG correctly.

Well that's more believable, sure... and yes RNG is completely messed up. I'd prefer having RNG that increases the chance after each fail, or something like that....

Waffennacht

But I killed over 200 people to buy my Kena, doesn't that count as "earning" it?

Lol, I really don't care, I've bought an item each week. I try and PvE, but that dang PvP is just sooo alluring!

Baconfat79

The amusing part is going to be getting into PUGs with people who now have 2-piece Kena and still can't pull 20k DPS. I'm looking forward to it.

Calboy

Never done kena. Wouldn't even know what dungeon he is in but now I own his hat in every armour type. Got caught up in the hype and it doesn't even fit any of my builds anyhow....

akredon_ESO

not to go all conspiracy theory but i think this was to make people burn up some AP before the patch xD

TheUrbanWizard

Saw the price, saw the stats, don't like it's looks = no thanks! I'm very naive with this sort of thing but I KNOW something will come around that I DO like and don't have to a run a dungeon about 30x to get and can just buy with my ill-gotten gold !

most people I know including me farm these dungeons for the other sets. I'm still missing one perfect spell power cure piece after uncounted runs in WGT. Same goes for scathing Mage in ICP.
While farming these I got enough Kena helmets to equip all my chars. I think it's fair to offer the helmet at the vendor, since it is not in the perfect trait (divines would be better for PVE) and it's useless without shoulders, which are more of a pain to farm if you haven't saved a lot of gold keys.
WGT and ICP will be nerfed into the ground with DB release so most of the people will be able to complete it. And the ones who are still not able to complete it have a good infused Kena helmet to start with, giving them an increased chance to complete it one day.
Many people on the forums complain about the horrible RNG, but as soon as ZOS offers an easier way to get something they had to farm hard they complain again. That just doesn't make sense.

but many never did farm it, I'd bet most never even completed whitegold. this is an obamacare solution.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but the drop rates were set so high i get one around every other run, i got about 10 to drop in the last week. At this point it just doesnt matter, and the whole dlc helms wont drop was just a rumor with nothing to back it up people clung to on the forums, it was pointed out time and time again that they could come up on the rotation

Oh, I know right, most of my runs involved 2-3 players getting the helmet drop together so it seemed pretty common.

On a side note: These guys claiming they ran it 50+ times without getting 1, I don't buy into that personally.

I did VWGT over 200 times for my Molag Kena helmet. It was in the 280's or 290's before I received it in medium and well-fitted. I even made a thread here on the forums about it. RNG in this game is horrendous. Absolutely horrendous.

In fact, I recently had an issue where I hadn't received a single Maelstrom staff weapon in over 100 runs. I recently received a sharpened restoration staff this morning. I made a thread about my issues with the RNG in VMSA as well. So yeah, with the RNG as bad as it is in this game — anything is possible.

Engine Guardian Helm was offered the 2nd week of the vendor (March), there have been other helms since...

I dont believe you. 290 speed runs is 8700 minutes, or 720 hours, which is 30 days. SPEED RUNS. I of almost always see 1 helmet drop per run, often 2 or 3. Im not saying many havent run it a couple doezen timed, but I believe this is a tiny minority.

I got around 4600 hours of play according to Steam. It is very possible

James-Wayne

Imperial City DLC is old now anyway so who cares, there will new monster sets out soon that will be better then Kena... why else do you think it's being sold.

Either that or they've looked at the stats for how much AP/money people have and need it reduced before DB release

8700 minutes is 145 hours, unless they have changed the hour from being 60 minutes long to them being 12 minutes long.

Good

Good, I went and bought one. I have no desire to run dungeons hundreds of times to get the gear I want. I still think a token system would be better (as it would still encourage people to take part in running dungeons), but at least I'm not locked out of gear I want due to angry RNG deities.

Lol 10 Kena kills....

erm.. isnt cyro vendor an RNG ? isnt it strange that two separate systems [console/PC] got the same RNG items for sale same weekend ?

It is decided on an internal server RNG and then assigned to the shop across all megaservers.

oh ok, didnt know that

Tonnopesce

Instead of complaining i've buyed two marksman rings...
I already have the kena helm Since i have the dlc.
Not selling the dlc item will be imho a p2w mechanic.
We the dlc owners have already acces to some awesome bop sets that drop only if you have the dlc the kena helm is not that good as it seems, spellpower cure and overwelming are better.

one of the earliest pieces the vendor sold when it first stated appearing was Lord Warden shoulder...this should have been a big clue

ability costs are increasing next patch,kena already lost value.

If I were ZOS, I'd have put a "You must have killed Molag Kena at least once to purchase this." on the thing.

Please put those weapons up for sale, PvE is boring as hell.

Maybe it's me, but I ran through WGT as many times as I did primarily because I enjoyed it. Anyway, I still have two pieces of the SPC set to get. Either way, I don't consider any of my runs a loss.

I still only have one

Bought 3, almost bought a 4th for an alt but I will farm the impen one instead for that one.
