Greetings guys,

So here's my first post ont he forum... been playing the game in and out since the day it was released... I love this game, a lot and so far my favortie MMO i'Ve played, mostly played them all, good job so far, and i don't even whine like most about bugs, bugs are a normal think in a constant evloluting game with lots of changes, it's part of the deal, getting new contents, getting possible errors.. :) but i got to say, i personaly think, RNG and drops should need some recoding love.. totaly, more balanced... What i mean is... How many of you been farming BSW in CoA? Have you even noticed how much Heavy Armor set drops? I personaly would say that i get about 85% of all time Heavy Armor drops, that'S when i went farming or doing pledges.... Now, here i come, farming Sanctuary in BC... guess what... 85% of drop is again the darn heavy armor sets.... went to farm a bit Necropotence to sell stuff and Mother's sorrow stuff trying to get myself staff.. those in public dungeons... guess what, most stuff i get are again, the heavy armor set... and when i sit back and look behind, i do remember how fast i was to get my Ebon Heavy armor set in CoH, never went to farm it, only doing pledges and got it so fast....

so, why not making kind of armor more balanced for the 3 types of armor? As for, Training traits.... how many you guys gets from undaunted chest or, i don't do vMA, but how many of you gets Training trait? Why not taking trhis *** trait for drop items, we want it on craftable sets for lvling, not as for cp160 end game lootable items.. :S Sorry just felt like letting the steam going off with the RNG loot system, i personaly think RNG loot is the weakest part of the game, i don'T think it's RNG, but mostly Plannified Percentages Drop Generated :P

    RNG is RNG but, i think they changing drop chances for every specific item. Neither think they are equal. I farmed whole BSW divines except staff sharp and chest divines in 1 week, farmed chest like about 50 runs tho.

    Now do a test, try to farm the Heavy set. look how fast you'll get it.

    Yeah thats what i'm telling, i'm pretty sure they are lowering drop rates for meta sets like BSW divines.

    so here i am still trying to get stuff in BC1, decided to sneak in to first boss farming that one only for chest or legs... fast and sweet... still seing more of that heavy stuff than medium and rearely light... and yesterday ive heard there will be lots of changes in morrow wind and new gear... so, my word are, Are you *** kidding me... we'll have to get through that crappy RNG farm on all toon again... damn makes me wounder if developpers plays the game with normal toon without having to get stuff with some developpers god mods and stuff and desicovering how not fun it is.... Please ZOS add some new traits in Morrowing, so we can get even more crappy chance of getting what we want, please do :) I dunno, some trait like, Giving us more chance of looting poison reagent on mobs, you know something *** like Prosperus but for crapy loots, or no wait, a trait that gives us 1 million more XP boost per seconds when we are in our own house.... ;) sorry i'm really frustrated right now :)

    oh not to mention, i spent so far over 200 undaunted keys trying to get heavy divine Grothdarr shoulders. if i got 4 Grothdarr out of that amount, that's good, and 2 of them were training and other trait, but far from divined or infused.. yeah i hate this game's RNG, if only all items had same shared %. :pensive: No wounder why i don't even really dare getting into vMA, i can'T imagine the pain of getting what you want :)

    So i made a test, i decided to make a 10 runs in a row on the first boss of Banishe Cells 1.. ok i got my numbers wrong, i mixed up armor set names, i estimated quick 85% heavy armor drops, 10% medium armor and 5% light armor, but it's actualy the medium armor sets i get more ofthen in either CoA1, BC1, maybe even WGT when trying to get SCP, and public dungeon for Mother's Sorrow or Necropotence sets.... here's a little screenshot after my tenth runs on thay boss... game is in french, so Évasion is the medium set, Tortionnaire is the heavy set and Sanctuaire the light set... go figure if % drop rate are Randomly equal.. that'S what i keep always getting... frustrating when you play only light armor toons and had to gear 3 of them, and thinking about the upcoming Warden healer you'll be startinin june lol. BTW, the Sanctuary robe i got in the screenshot, don'T exept it to be good trait, was training or Sturdy :)
