COMPENSATION- for when ZOS changes ruin my gold gear?

Crom_CCCXVI

Along with the old gold set of Dreugh King Slayer, the 6 or 7 gold inferno staffs, I'll be throwing a gold set of Sheild Breaker into the garbage too?
This thread isn't to argue what should or should not happen.

But when you make a change to an armor set, at least let me break it down and get my Gold Materials back.

I'm am millions of gold wasted because one day you decide a set is going to work differently. As someone that puts a fair amount of money and time into this game, when your going to take an Inferno staff and say "it now hits for 30% less damage" or Sheild Breaker is no longer of any value on a staff.... good customer service would allow me to at least recoup my materials..

This is why I only make weapons and monster sets gold

bebynnag

dont decon it - chuck it on an alt... chances are i a few months it will be changed again to be good again

This is why I always say stop flogging your gold mats just to scrape a few coins together. Everytime people clean themselves out, something happens and they have nothing to upgrade new gear and barely any gold at the end of it. Each patch hoard 40 of each and then sell surplus. You'll never come up short then. Plus the above isn't anywhere near millions of gold lol.

Welcome to MMO gaming, you must be new here.

ZOS are not going to compensate you for this, nor should they. This is how progressive games balance works and has always worked, if you invest all your money into the current top builds then you have to do so with the acceptance of that build changing a few months down the line.

It's been a fair while since things were shaken up now so this was due to happen eventually.

Skinless_Jerk

just ... why? why would you decon a gold set of, what i assume to be impen, shield breaker ? also if you do actually put a "fair amount of money into this game"... then i'm sure you can just buy more gold for another gold set? alsooooo, millions of gold for a gold shield breaker set... i don't think so hahaha.

having played from the start and seeing many treasured gold sets go unused due to the changes implemented, i can advise you to get used to it, get over it or play something else... all 3 are a very good mixture haha

Consider it a boost to the economy, even if it is all your gold that's doing the boosting. Remember the upside - somebody's winning

Deconstructing a Gold item should at least give you half the gold mats back, instead of just one. And isn't that even a random chance of getting just one back?

This is bit of bug bear of mine, I once deconned 17 Maelstrom swords / Maces and 17 shields all at once to free up bank space...I landed 3 Alloys and 5 Rosins but 10 Potent Nirns and 9 fort Nirns. Not cool at all.

I only gold Head, legs and torso. Someone said, gold is mandatory on weapons but luxury on armors.

Millions of gold ?? That statement alone makes me take this topic not so seriously...

Vipstaakki

I'll be eagerly awaiting the time when you get kicked from a dungeon or a trial simply by wearing useless sharpened.

Lieblingsjunge

Spent 700k for tempering alloys to golden out my multiple heavy armour(Yes, I got told to).
Turns out I probably won't be using it at all.

I got rekt? Yes.
Do I QQ? No
Is this stuff that happens in a MMO? Yes
Am I entitled to compensation? No
Am I entitled to anything? No

Balsagna

This must be your first MMO. Bless your heart.

Eso comes with a new update every 3 month with a high chance of one or more of the following to happen:
- the fotm wheel taking another turn -> setrankings r turned upside down
- traitrebalancing -> traitrankings r turned upside down
- item cap increase -> all current gear is obsolete
- skill rebalancing -> loadouts that r good for a low amount of skills become obsolete
- new sets -> existing sets become obsolete

One startegy to counter that, is to go for gear that is easily replaceable (crafted set w/ weapons). Additionally, if u "invest" into your gear, u should make sure that u dont invest more, than what it will return within a 3-month cycle (not golding anything but your mainbars mainhand, if even).
....
There was a time when:
- sharp elegance swords sold for 1m.
- dw vma weaps where a thing.
- nirnhoned was exclusivly used as weapontrait.
- 4 martial knowledge, 2 adroitness, 2 torugs, 2 cyro light was a thing.
- noone was using lightningstaffs.
- ppl used footman and histbark.

I am going to ask for my money back for my 6 years old pc because new CPUs are coming out... The world is so beautiful.

Really it takes about a week to gold out a full set with just farming. Replacing a new set can take about the same time or craft a different set in even less time. This is called lazy gaming get over urself it's really not that hard.

AzraelKrieg

And my guild wonder why I haven't golded out any of my gear since before Imperial City.

Every MMO player knows that their items won't stay BiS forever. Go play another game if it bothers you too much.

Feanor

Why would you break down Shieldbreaker? It does the same as before - which is trolling players who have to use shields as their Defense.

you know ZoS said the reason they only do big balance updates during the DLC updates (so 4 times a year) is because they are conscious that people need to remake gear and that they don't want to make people remake gear constantly.

at the time they were laughed at by people who said that was a dumb excuse to not balance the game and they would prefer to make new gear then having to deal with imbalance till the next update

. . . and yet hear you are.

its an MMO, the best changes, the meta changes, it evolves, evolve with it or be left behind.

In a living mmo, everything is only now, not tomorrow.

You golded, you used and you can still.

So, no compensation is needed just because things changed as most knew it would.

Wouldn't this update make different vma weps traits worth it too making farming vma a lot easier then past?

I'm not sure if ur being sarcastic though

Complaining about them fixing shieldbreaker on lightning/resto staves is just hilarious.

The guy also thinks cc immunity affects snares.
