Asylum Weapons

peoplecallmeleo

I just found out that the Asylum Weapons are going to drop even on normal!?!?! What kind of *** is This? What's the point in doing the trial in vet if you can get the weapon in normal? I know the perfected versions will drop in vet but seriously it's not a big enough difference from the non perfected ones. What ***!! End game content should be rewarded for end game activities not some *** a Sorc could probably solo on normal

Ok go solo it. Be sure to post a video. Then you will deserve an asylum weapon, and you can continue trying to exclude 95% of the player base from getting them.

I don't even think most of the weapons are good. And vet hard mode is a high target for a perfect version.

The gap between normal and vethm (DLC's trials especially) is wide in order to appeal to both casuals and hardcores.

I need to admit that now that I'm a 31 old married with two kids and profissional career the casual scope has been much more appealing than the hardcore'ish stuff. Due to that I'm really glad that ZOS is making content to all kind of players.

It sounds really childish from you when you complain that people that don't play hardcore'ish are getting reasonable good stuff as well.

Giving a lesser form of the end-game loot for normal mode encourages more people to engage with the content by removing steep barriers to entry and aspirational inertia. More people are having fun doing the trials but the folks who are really dedicated to it get the best equipment still. It also lets people test builds more easily to see if they really want to take it to the next level and go for full hardmode.

many of us are PvP only and have no interest in the PvE side, my apologies but, we PvP players are finally able to get this chance at good weapons after waiting for several years.

Completely agree.

Where were you for the entire pts cycle?

Even people completing it on normal who will never have the chance to complete it on vet deserve the chance of a little glory, let them have their day and you just concentrate on vAS, getting the perfected version weapon that you want and a fancy title that most other players will never have. Maybe you can even earn the hard mode skin to show off your skills...

The weapons that drop in the normal are weaker than those that drop in vet. It gives people something to work towards while still being competitive enough to do it to eventually get the stronger version. As for soloing it, go on the magsorc you have an solo it. Record it and report back.

The weapons that drop in normal are the same as what drops in vet, vet hard mode drops the perfect ones. I think the issue is that there is no difference between farming normal and vet for weapons, while vet hard mode is a massive step up in terms of difficulty.

The weapons that drop in Normal are weaker than those that drop in vet. It's not much but the perfected ones from vet are still better than those that drop in Normal.

Only the destrostaff is good for pve and the perfect drop only in hardmode or from weekly. Hardmode will be impossible for 99.9% of the playerbase and also to get in the weekly will be to hard for moast groups as the scores gets better and top groups also run it with twinks.

peoplecallmeleo

You all sound like you just need to get learnt to get gooder

Gargath

I was always thinking that you do the trials for fame and glory and an achievement and dye, not some weapon.
I stopped doing trials because of the poor drops and massive lag and that the fame was already low and there was no new goals.
I already had to be strong enough to do a trial and random drops from trials were nothing I could use, so I was deconstructing everything. In time it was getting more and more boring. Now I have a new goal, new weapon. It's a good change.

Rawkan

Wow, more than the 1% doing vet trials will get the weapons? You know most people don't even do trials at all right, you're still gonna be able to flaunt that e-peen.

But what if we just get a garbage trait call it a win and transmute it

IronCrystal

I thought perfected versions drop on vet, not the hard mode only?

I know for fact normal only drops imperfect versions. Honestly, if you care about BiS, you'd realize the imperfects are way worse than the perfected versions. Not that the perfected versions are BiS anyways lol.

Zer0oo

In my opinion the normal mode is too easy to reward special weapons(the are just a little weaker than hm ones except the destro which is so much weaker as imperfect on after the forum QQ in the pts section) since they are suppose to show that you did something hard and got a really strong weapon in return but on the other hand almost all weapons are crap in pve so.....

This build uses the destro staff ^^ and my Nirnhoned destro staff seems to rock pretty hard

Depending on which weapon should your going for the 2h for pvp the normal one is just right but that desto is A1 for pve if it's perfected

Vizier

Nothing wrong with it. The weapons are reduced in their power and effectiveness over drops for veteran. I did it on normal with a pug group to see what it was about. Got some gear I'm interested in testing out. Once I decide what's what I'll grind it out...shrug. You're not losing anything so stop worrying about what others get or don't get for their effort.

Don’t know about MagSorc, but I just saw the video of the famous Andy guy solo the normal on a Stamina Nightblade. Man I wish I could play even a tenth as good as that guy.

What is the appeal of being at top alone, where no one actually cares, except the small group of people who have nothing in real life to do except play this game, the percentage of this people is very small when compared to people with normal a life.

The Devs made this game for making money and not for catering to the ego of some lonely snowflakes. The weapon themselves are not as strong as the ones that drop for more difficult content, so why whine then.

End game rewards are being rewarded for doing end game contact...hence the perfected versions

A ranged templar build is pretty neat. What does rock pretty hard mean to you? Do you have a perfect or nonperfect staff.

@WrathOfInnos whats wrong with excluding players who cannot complete content..?? The normal asylum weapons should be like half of the veteran ones since they are so hard to get, and most people agree with this.. Regardless, this "everyone gets a trophy" mentality takes away from the tinnnyyy bit of competitiveness left in this game..

Oh and heres andy s soloing it, dont think its on vet but still..

Truly amazing!

WrathOfInnos

@itzTJ I've cleared it on vet a few times, it is not difficult, and I think most of the non-perfect weapons are garbage. I don't mind sharing them with anyone that wants to run normal. The hard mode rewards are worthwhile, and very difficult to obtain.
