Is there even a point to doing dungeons now? The 'hard' dungeons just got nerfed into the ground.... Why?
I spent MONTHS in WGT to get my Kena Helm, finally getting it on my 54th run and my Spell power cure.... I was stuck on 4/5 five pieces for over a month, opening over 7 vaults and doing multiple runs of WGT daily and still not getting it. I eventually got it after much heartache, sweat, blood and tears.
I ran vWGT for the first time since the update and I was heart broken... Its a joke. The worst part is that now you are GUARANTEED to get a set drop from every boss. I don't believe this! The healer we had never ran it before so we thought we'd show him the ropes. In just five runs he got 6 pieces of spell power cure. I lived in that dungeon and it took me months to get just my 5 piece.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF..............!
My point is whats is going on here? I though the point of the pain in the butt RNG was supposed to push you to be better and and have fun. Now everything is so easy and just handed to players. Why? Is zenimax just trying to push everyone into PVP and making sure everyone has the same end-game gear?

By superhuman effort, you can avoid slipping backwards for a while. But one day, you'll lose a step, or drop a beat, or miss a detail... and you'll be gone forever.

✭✭✭✭✭If you're able to complete the dungeon 5 times how does completing it another 50 times 'push you to be better'?
And your post seems to answer the 'fun' aspect all on it's own. It really doesn't sound like you had fun trying to get those items with the lower drop rates.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Zuuda✭You hated the time you spent in there instead of doing something else, and hate the fact others won't get to hate spending time there instead of doing something else.

SolarCat02✭✭✭✭✭They improved the drops? Awesome! I don't have a single piece yet, so I need to start pushing to run this now.
They could have kept the difficulty... I am sad they dropped it, to be honest.
You have me really excited about the drops, though!Why be normal when you can be better?

SciSoul ShrivenI just think its ludicrous to just nerf the end game dungeons and guarantee set drops every time. They're supposed to be difficult. You had to fight the RNG to get what you wanted.
I spend months to get 5 pieces of spell power cure
Someone else does 5 runs and gets 7 pieces
You don't see the painful irony in that?
If I'd know this was coming I would not have ran that dungeon until my eyes bled.Edited by Sci on June 17, 2016 8:20PMBy superhuman effort, you can avoid slipping backwards for a while. But one day, you'll lose a step, or drop a beat, or miss a detail... and you'll be gone forever.0 -

I didn't see anything in the patch notes about the drop rates but it is guaranteed.
Im sure its the case in ICP as well. Ive had 4 pieces of scathing mage for awhile but after DB im sure Ill get it in the afternoon.
