Idea for Maelstrom weapons

Zypheran

Would you guys like to see lower powered weapons available as reward for normal MA?
When I saw this available for the asylum weapons I thought why couldn't they do this for MA

nMA still gives some unique sets, though niche but not empty, further nMA is far too easy, perhaps a medium difficulty mode would be good for lower powered MA weapons.

Skinzz

No. Bad enough the majority of vma weapons got nerfed. Has been around for 2 years now. Just beat it on vet already jeez

Insandros

Can you imagine all the angry community that had to learn and beat vMA so many times, that now you could get weapons in normal? Cuz let's be honest, nMA can beat while having a finger in the nose and the other one in one ear while pushing the mouse over with nour chin and blind folded.... I know, cuz i got so frustrated trying to beat it, and so much frustration to learn it, this would *** me off a lot.

Turelus

They could always up nMA to meet a better level for what a Maelstrom weapon should drop in.

I do honestly like the more accessible system that we got with CWC however.

MissBizz

As someone with VMA weapons, I wouldn't be against the idea. I like the accessibility CWC gives with asylum weapons. A slight buff I'm doccilty to nMA wouldn't be a bad thing at all (it does nothing to teach you for vet now) but even without that, I'd be fine with it.

Apherius

Nop.

Marabornwingrion

Hell no.

Runs

I've been wondering if ZOS has had plans of doing this for Maelstrom weapons and Master weapons since they first mentioned the lower versions of the Asylum weapons. Would be nice if there was some sort of official answer as a yes, no, maybe or a /lurk.

They should get rid of the weapons, and give people a non-combat pet and a skin for completing said content.

With the new trait change system soon there will be many salty tears on here, lol. Do you really think the snowflakes will see this as a fair, or unfair advantage in the long run?

But how or why would somebody else getting a lesser weapon effect what you already got for completing vMA??

Simple, people who got them worked for it, why would people get them for free, people been in vMA over hundreds of hours to get them, and you think people getting them in 10 minutes would be fair? Makes no sens and will never happen, they came up with Asylum to settle a bit the frustration of people unable to complete vMA being able to get non-set weapons, so, i think that's enough already. I was totaly against that before i was able to actualy even complete stage 5 of vMA, i was totaly against the idea of having wepaons on normal, and i was even more agasint after i completed it.

No I wouldn't.

Maelstrom Arena is a cheesy gimmicky DPS race. That's all it is... and excludes any build or play style that does not concentrate on offense.

The last thing this game should do is encourage more players to go into that crap hole.

What makes RPGs fun is creating your own character and play style. It certainly isn't punishing players who try something different. I recognize that normal Maelstrom Arena is much easier than veteran but I still believe this game should start moving away from this kind of content. It just alienates players and makes the game more frustrating and less interesting.

Except it's not a DPS race. People have beaten vMA with all kinds of builds, including tanky SnB builds, heavy armor builds, resto back bar. It seems you're just making excuses for your inability to think outside the box.

Couldn't agree more, I've only done it a few times but there's a serious sense of accomplishment in finishing it.
Stick with it, you'll get there pal
