VMA is breaking me

GreenhaloX

Whatever moans or groans you expert VMA folks are feeling, I give big kudos for you all having completed VMA and multiple times over. You are quite the badasses in ESO. From us unworthies who are still having a bit of trouble with normal Maelstrom and not yet brave enough to venture into VMA.



"We are not worthy.. we are not worthy.."

13 rings in a row!!!

Just wow!

Fair RNG? You consider the soul crushing non stop grind where you could spends hour or days getting nothing, or get what you need and then lose it trying to upgrade, fair?

Yes. More fair than farming for 9 months, every day, for 4+ hours, getting nothing and only losing, not even making gold! ...and getting nothing in the end. There's nothing in BDO you cannot obtain, either via grind or purchase due to the money you made from grinding, after 2 to 3 months.

Let me tell you about the Liverto amulet that wouldn't go past +13 while everyone else was rocking max AP and DP.

Let me tell you about the Inferno Staff that wouldn't drop. Ever. In month-long grinds. Some people invested over 1000 hours of real life grinding into this. That's 1000/24=42 days of pure, non-sleep grinding in a solo arena in an MMO. And still have nothing. People who left ESO for this reason and are now rocking their Liverto amulets that they've maxed in an almost invisible fraction of time that they invested to get their fire staff... and got nothing.

There is nothing in this game worse than anything in BDO. If you don't believe me, go play it.

Doing it. Very happy. Much better than ESO, but I like the ESO universe better. If ZOS adjust their loot system to make it more fair and less frustrating, I might come back.

The streak is done!

Charged lightning staff stepped in to break the possible 14 ring run.

I know I keep saying I'm done running vMA but everytime I log on I get this feeling like this will be it. There is gonna be a weapon in that last chest, there has to be I've been doing this forever with nothing to show for it besides some *** title.

Then I get nothing. Definitely leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I usually log out right after and ask myself why I even tried again. So pointless. So unfun.

Idc what any of you say I should have my weapons I want at this point, and you all that have been getting *** should as well.This is killing it for me. I guess I should of got in there before DB.

You broke my dream man, i thought it would be a necklace

Every time I feel like running vMA, I come to the forum to find a thread like this.

Then, I tell myself: "Just go do PVP and enjoy the time you have to play this game"

Thanks for showing me the right path, again boys.

Very wise. Lol

Ive too left vma , wont come back here until change is made. Only 1 weapon usuable so far with so much runs done...and its nirn Bow. Like someone mention earlier , Lord of the Rings. All those ive dropped are either defensive or charged (and a 'nice' sharp resto) Im done with this and will now play what I enjoy instead of running after something i'll probably never get. D-O-N-E

Oreyn_Bearclaw

I will hand out 500k to noobs in Stonefalls if we ever get a response to this. Pretty sure my money is safe. And no, a dev chiming in to tell us we need to stay on topic does not count.

Also, bet you loved that charged staff. What a f'ing joke.

vMA is a no brainer.

The staff was great, can sit with my decisive one gathering dust.

6 rings in a row. Should I be worried?

Lol I have been under the "it has to be a weapon now" mentality since I hit 4 in a row and here I am at 10.

I will be doing a few more tommorrow, I will keep the thread updated... Started to think I might be setting a record here... Maybe I will start wanting more rings, just to achieve something special lol.

10 runs resulted in 9 rings and 1 some kind of *** I didn't even pick up, because it was utterly useless. I think it was parabellum belt or something like that. Yeah, it has to be a weapon next time

HoolDog

I sent a strongly worded letter (email) to the ignore team (support team) lol

Just finished it for the first time!! ....and got a ring, can´t believe it.

Did they say, that they make the last chest a 100% weapon drop in the next patch or was i dreaming that?

I think I would feel better getting one with no trait at all

Congratulations! That's awesome! I hope you have many more clears in your future.

Conquistador

I haven't gotten anything worth using. Absolutely bad traits every time. Most of the time I just get rings too. WTF.

Congrats, my first clear was also a ring... Even tho it must of took me months using the save... Luckily enough the joy of finally finishing out weighed the disappointment.

HoolDog

Got my first inferno staff today!!!

Charged though but at least I have seen one woop lol

ZOS should survey how many players % actually do really complete (or regularly try) vVMA and then reevaluate their concept of this dungeon.
Sincerely, I doubt the numbers do matter, as the % of players farming it is so low..

Maztiax

VMSA made me punch a hole through the wall.

Eleusian

First clear finally was yesterday.
Got that awesome ring of the hunt drop garbage I expected. Really hoped I would be a lucky one. What's the point in doing it again with such a low chance to get something could use. *** it

I did that and broke 2 controllers.

I haven't completed vMSA yet and originally I was only gonna do it to get a destro and resto staff for pvp. Now however, as I read more and more about the RNG and horrible traits if you even get a weapon I don't even want to try to complete it except for MAYBE just to say I did it. Not gonna try for flawless, time, or leaderboard let alone weapons.

But my question for @ZOS. How many people have to tell you something is messed up, and even suggest a really good idea (the token system) for anyone to do anything about it? Do we need a poll? A petition? A sacrifice to the gods? I haven't even completed it and I'm not wanting to do it now for the reasons I wanted to.

P.S. if anyone knows which Zos employee to tag would you kindly do so?
