COMPENSATION- for when ZOS changes ruin my gold gear?

Narvuntien

Such is the risk when golding our your gear. You got to use that gear for years? months? its not like you never used it.

You have plenty of gold to pay for them again or just farm mats and refine them. I really do not struggle to collect gold mats just by doing daily writs.

The guy also thinks cc immunity affects snares.

Maybe his dreugh king with inferno staff made that happen

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?

Problem is that there is no way to tell if you used just 1 gold mat and hoped for it to work or if you used enough to have 100% sucess so the game can't tell how much half the materials would be.

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..

You don't have to trash shield breaker. It's still gonna be pretty good & fun to use in PvP

So you were one of those trolls running heavy lightning attacks with Shieldbreaker for stupidly high irresistible damage because Shieldbreaker proc'd on every tick? And you're now actually complaining about this clearly unintended exploit(alright, calling it exploit might be too far. But let's be honest, it was extremely stupid and cheesy) getting fixed?

....are you serious?

KochDerDamonen

ahahaha

Feel lucky you were allowed to enjoy the same set as long as you did.

Lord_Eomer

Just one thing came in mind "LOL",

I am the biggest loser may be losing like 50+ sharpen weapons and still happy with balance changes!

LadyDestiny

Mmo's will constantly change. Nerfs here and buffs there. I do agree that this next update is kind of soon after morrowind changes. Therefore I am not crafting, farming or upgrading anything till we hear more on builds and sets. Spent a crap ton of wasted money with morrowind gearing.

Lol is all i can say.

I think it was also unintended that the OP revealed himself as cheeselord

This is why I only make weapons and monster sets gold

This is why I create my own builds and back when I started made sure I became a master crafter so I can theory craft in order to avoid the repetitive nerfs that come with meta builds

It happens in MMO's all the time.

I wish the only thing I had to worry about in life were changes in make believe game items.

... yeeeah, I lost my BiS precise vMA daggers as a result of this... ZOS should send me new ones *shifty eyes*

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.

This and unlike say WOW who raises max level all the time the previous sets might get better later.

BloodWolfe

It's an MMO, this is nothing new and it happens all the time. MMO's are always changing so deal with it and move on. Bank it for now and see what happens down the road.

You were abusing shieldbreaker with staves. Sorry but we have no sympathy for you. You got what you deserved. Now try actually playing the game.

This excuse is so stupid and ignorant, in others MMO there's no improvement systems and infinite grinding for special traits, thats why they can afford to do it.

This is very much false every mmo I have played had an improve system and if you failed to improve ur gear it would be destroyed. They may have not had huge RNG grinds but it could take months to get a full set of gear and ever longer to max out that set.

Point being is other mmo might do it differently but the grind is just as real and they have level increases just to do the same thing all over again.

Your logic and reason have no power here.

Beardimus

What entitled nonsense. Change is good, gets you into trading and crafting, writs, enjoying the full game. The updates are months in between plenty of time to save up or hoard tempers in advance.

These changes drive the economy too, look at the bigger picture.

Fallen_Ray

Lesson learned, only Gold out sets you craft yourself. Farmed sets are not worth maxing out since they are the most overpowering and not to mention appealing for 90% of the player base, making them the number 1 target for nerfs/buffs. Gold crafted sets can come close to matching dropped sets, Some at least, not all crafted sets are worth the materials.

As for the trait changes and the staves you loose well it just happens. They just do these things and there's shít we can do about it. Take some time to read the End-User License Agreement somewhere in that text-skyscraper you'll see the clause stating that ZOS has the right to make any changes to the game content with or without previous notice.

Just be grateful they decided to announce it 3 months before releasing it.

It turns out in the EULA they reserve the right to modify their game and you already agreed to that. Play with purple stuff till you know you are on firm ground. If something is op or working wrong it's going to take a hit, like shield breaker, and you should know if you upgrade it to gold you are just doing it for the lulz while it remains broken. Dreugh king and stuff like that you should just bank and forget for now, no need to break it for mats it might be good again one day. Look at twice born star as an example of fashions that come and go and come again.

TLDR bank stuff that might be good again, don't upgrade broken sets to gold as they will get nerfed.
