Why are you playing vma?

akl77

I’m just curious why so many people playing vma week by week.
What’s your main reason?

I hate vma

I got to the spider round.. 6? and rage quit. I have not been bothered going back. This was several months back. Might try again now that my gear has been upgraded at some stage.. or I might not.

I played through it for awhile, enjoyed it to an extent, got what I needed then left since I mostly pvp.

I havent been back to that toilet in over a year.

I hate vma

Got what I needed, not going back. I'm good.

I'm debating if the weapons are worth the effort and aggravation of going through it.

Just flawless title on new chars when I'm bored. No real point anymore since its a laggy buggy mess currently with weapons which can't compete the same way they used to.

I hate vma

I completed only normal a single time. Started vet and soon realised it's not my style - quit and never returned. A complete waste of time. I wouldn't complain if they removed this entire content from game .

Never played vma

Haven't played vMA or even nMA and most likely never will. From what I've heard about it, it simply doesn't interest me at all.

I'm not playing it right now

Usually I go in there when I want to get the Flawless title for a new character. Can't be running around looking like a scrub

I played nMA a couple of times, but I never got through it. Watched a few videos before and afterwards which showed me that it's really not my cup of tea. Kudos to those who enjoy difficult content though.

i managed to get to the last stage. tried it a couple of times before, even with the "easy sorcerer build", but couldn't get through the second stage (spinning blades ftl). then my guildmate recommended a stamSorc, so i created a new character, leveled her up, got the NMG/VO/Velidreth gear (gold) and went dying trying. surprisingly it wasn't that bad, even the dreaded ice stage, don't get me wrong, i died a lot, but i did manage to get through to the last stage. although i don't really know how i got through the spider stage, i was running around just minding my own business, then "spit" and i was dead. then i (somehow) managed to get all those pillars lit up, she got stunned and i killed her. anyways, i am at the last stage. but that is where i will be for a long time. i can get to the boss stage, go up, destroy one or two of them crystals, but then i either get knocked down and killed by the fall/crematorial guard/ghosts or soul churn/his heavy attacks/fall. like i said, i will be stuck there for a looong time, because i play this game (and every other) to have fun and relax. going through vMA isn't fun. at all. it's frustrating, time consuming and the rewards are not incentive for me enough to keep trying. don't get me wrong, i'd love to have me a couple of staves and bows for my characters, but you can't pick what you get and knowing my luck i'd have to spend months clearing it again and again. so thanks, but no, thanks.

For fun

i want to try every content this game has to offer

though ive took a break again from vma lol! coz of my studies, i can only play about an hour every week so im finishing VMA one stage per week! talk about being progressive!!

im currently at stage 7, ive died soo many time at stage 6 wondering how the *** im dying!! ive never look a guide before so everything is hell inside, but that doesnt mean im not enjoying it, it really gives me that sort of tension of getting one shot. it has the same feeling when i first beat mysterious figure on my first KH which is birth by sleep, and my first encounter against a tigrex in MHF2

For fun

I run it 2-3 times a week and regularly get on the leaderboards, its pretty calming for me now, i just listen to music while i run through it. For me right now, this game is mostly me trying to push my score up in maelstrom, PvP, and dungens. I would like to get into trials again, but it's just to much work, you have to please 11 other people, and most people got a ego, theirs no "hay guys lets go do (trial name)," I just realized I'm rambling, I'm gonna stop typing.

I used to be able to do it before the sustain nerf, now I really don't give a crap about it though

Danikat

Never played vma

Haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I want to do it at some point, because I want to do everything in the game at some point. And if it's fun I might go back periodically, but I'm not going to repeat it if I don't enjoy it.

For challenging solo content

First - for the clear, which I finally did less than a week ago.
Second - to prove the first wasn't a fluke.
Third - work in progress...

So... maybe #1 and #2 were both flukes

For challenging solo content

since i got flawless conqueror and the weapons i needed i haven't gone back into vMA, but at some point I would like to respec my healer and get the flawless title on it. Also on my magicka warden.

Face it folks the ZOS RNG system sucks. I am not going to do that Vma mess over and over again in hopes of getting the weapons I want but instead keep getting everything else. Now if they had a token system in place where when you finished it you could choose what you wanted different story. Of course we all know that will never happen. Because then you will not keep coming back to farm it and this game is all about farming.

I just beat it for the first time yesterday! While I admit most of it is fun, the last boss for me is ridiculous. Yes I know what I'm supposed to do, I just can't deal with all that.

It was very disheartening because after suffering so much in the previous stages, I hit that wall with the last boss. A few days back I almost uninstall the game and cancel Summerset because of it. That's how much it was messing with my mind

I used all my luck in the world because I got the bow in that first run. I don't think I'm ever coming back.

Yea first vma the last boss took me over 400 deaths on my weak dps magplar. Took me 3 days to beat it.
Now with pet sorc, it’s a cake walk.

Actually I tried pet sorc... but for me it was easier with stamsorc. I was able to run fast and avoid crematorial guard fire while spamming tornado. Yes that's how bad I am.

And so far mine are still not worthy, but it does give me a good Idea of where each stands by how far I make it without trouble.

I got my weapons during the first double drop event. Haven't stepped foot in there since. I hate it and it doesn't help that my ISP drops me randomly a few times an hour for some unknown reason.
